3. Not Much Of A Fighter
https://youtu.be/cUfON1KA9h8 In State V Queen, Moira prepares to stand trial for her part in the Undertaking. It's a good episode, but it certainly would've been even better with this deleted scene, which features a conversation between Oliver and his sister Thea. This comes at a time when Thea was still in the dark about things, as she talks about her hating Malcolm Merlyn, unaware that he's her father. She then talks about how she wants to go punch Roy some more (Oliver's slightly taken aback look here is great), before saying Ollie wouldn't do that because he's "not much of a fighter." Oh dear, Thea. He then tells her about people having different sides and identities (get the hint Thea!), but that they still have to lover Moira and be there for her because she's their mother. It's a really excellent scene between the siblings, in its own right and for the development of their relationship, and it should probably have been included.
