 * 2) "Criminal World"- The Zytle Crime Family is one of the most powerful criminal organizations in Star City. Establishing their illicit business in multiple directions, such as drug trafficking ring in Kiev, counterfeiting, and Dark Web child pornography, the Bratva drew the attention of the Star  City Police Department and District Attorney's Office. However, the mob avoided prosecutions, bribing police officers, judges, and even the deputy mayor. The Star City FBI Crime Division becomes interested in Count Vertigo and Agent Asselah uses information given by Bedlam to arrest Zytle. The task force led by Asselah storms the mansion where the FBI arrests all the mobsters as well as corrupted police officers and judges connected with the mob. The FBI also seizes computers in order to track their money trail. Farrow congratulates Asselah for a job well done but warns Aseelah that if she puts him on the Bedlam detail his file will is required reading and the FBI command in Washington D.C will learn everything about his financial problems. Annoyed, Asselah claimed that none of this could have happened without the unexpected connection between him and Bedlam. Anyway, that was probably Asselah's last chance to stabilize his family's financial situation. Farrow then finally hands Bedlam's case to Asselah condition that he will keep Bedlam talking. News of Bedlam's cooperation with the FBI spreads fast, and in retaliation he is attacked in prison by a fellow inmate. Upon learning this, Farrow and Asselah meet with Mayor Klaus.

Ivo accurately theorizes that Green Arrow must be motivated by a traumatic loss wrought by violent crime, but goes on to claim that  Green Arrow's costumed vigilantism is primarily an exercise in power and control for his own benefit, rather than anyone else's. O'Hara rebukes Ivo's analysis, explaining that the costume is simply to scare criminals and Green Arrow is honestly trying to help Star City. But Mayor Klaus sides with Ivo and takes a hard stance against Green Arrow, announcing on-air that he's forming a police task force to apprehend Green Arrow and assigning Diggle to head it. Upset with Klaus, O'Hara makes it public knowledge that Klaus had Bedlam released from Blackleg, which leads to protests outside City Hall.

As a caveat, Ivo demands full access to all police records, beginning with notable murder cases in Star City, so he can start profiling the emerald archer and unravel his true identity. Oliver goes to spy on Bedlam and meets a man in ski goggles calling himself Vigilante.

Touched, Veronica promises that, if she lives out the day, she'll drop all charges against Carrie, and even put in a good word with the police.

Green Arrow and Black Canary return her to Arkham, but Dr. Leland assures her it won't be for long: Veronica, true to her word, dropped the kidnapping charges and it should only take a little more work before Carrie's ready to interact with "normal" people again. Carrie asks Green Arrow why he has been looking after her when she's been nothing but trouble to him. He says he can only sympathize with her honest desire to lead a normal life: "I had a bad day too, once". As a parting gift, he gives her the dress she bought.

Farrow lets them inside the house before asking her daughter to leave her for talk to her colleagues. Asselah tells Sage that the OPR must start an internal investigation into Cory, Bedlam, and every agent manipulated by him. He adds that he takes full responsibility as the agent ran Bedlam's' detail, and this should not fall on Farrow who did everything by the book. Nearing the end of the confession, Farrow informs Asselah that she has to place him on administrative leave immediately.

Tommy heads out to meet with Sergeant Diggle for a raid on a derelict building being held by the mob, heavily defended with stolen weapons and supplies from Star City's Army depots. With Green Arrow's help, the gang is captured. In front of news reporters, Mayor Merlyn publicly congratulates the police and thanks Diggle due to knowing that this will boost his approval ratings. But just then, one of the captured crooks taunts Tommy with the assurance that he and his cohorts will soon be free, and kicks a puddle of mud, splattering it on Tommy's suit. To everyone's shock, Tommy goes berserk with fury and attacks the handcuffed man, and has to be pulled off him. A second later, Tommy inexplicably reverts to his amiable, courteous self, with seemingly no memory of the fit of rage. Despite having seen the direct cause of the attack, Diggle asks what that was about and Merlyn says "I don't know. I guess he just hit the right button." Diggle mutters "That's one fucking button." Meanwhile, Death Dealer commands Cory and Asselah to find something dirty about Merlyn's past that could be used in his favor, despite his apparently spotless record and being the son of Malcolm.. At a party in Queen Manor to celebrate Tommy's achievement, Oliver reveals that he has signed over his shares of Queen Enterprises to Walter Steele due to now being the new deputy mayor. Tommy tells Oliver to not worry about Danica since her father is no longer mayor and since Tommy called off the shoot to kill order against the Green Arrow as well as his team. Oliver refuses to end his search for Danica and this makes Tommy have another violent outburst. Tommy is prepared to attack Oliver only to be calmed by Dinah's intervention. Concerned, Oliver advises him to seek psychiatric help to which Dinah implies he already is, much to Tommy's embarrassment. Tommy is highly reluctant to appear vulnerable as mayor, but agrees to seek counseling. At Queen Enterprises, under hypnosis with Diggles wife Michaels, an alternate personality known as "Big Bad Tom" surfaces. "Tom" is resentful of his father and produces a coin which he compulsively flips. Michaels reveals that as a boy Tommy suppressed his rage until it became a separate personality which is Big Bad Tom. Michaels notes that Tommy needs to realize that anger is nothing to be ashamed of in order for Big Bad Tom to go away but he refuses to let Tommy take over completely. After Michaels is nearly thrown from the window, she snaps her fingers. Tommy resurfaces, and is immediately shaken by "Big Bad Tom" and his actions, stating that he used to be able to repress him for years. Michaels suggests Tommy admit himself to a psychiatric hospital for a few days, but Tommy refuses saying it will have a bad affect on his approval ratings. Shakily, Tommy agrees to the continued (but secret) therapy sessions. Unbeknownst to Tommy, Cory and a disturbed as well as remorseful Asselah secretly overhead the incident and leave to tell Death Dealer. Later at the Mayor's office, Tommy gets a call from Death Dealer, who summons him to a meeting, or else "Big Bad Tom" will be exposed; completely demolishing Tommy's career. Noticing Tommy's strange behavior, Oliver changes into Green Arrow and follows him. At Ace Chemicals, Death Dealer and his gang confront Tommy, having found records from his childhood that show that after he fought back against a bully, the boy was later hospitalized (for appendicitis, not injuries, but young Tommy didn't know that). Feeling guilty, Tommy repressed his anger so completely that it has built up over the years, until it has become "Big Bad Tom". Death Dealer threatens to expose an increasingly agitated Merlyn unless he complies with Bedlams agenda. Suddenly calm, Tommy smiles and says: "There's one problem: You're talking to the wrong Tommy." Now it is Big Bad Tom who rises and attacks Death Dealer and his accomplices, wiping out the gang with the reluctant aid of Green Arrow. Death grabs the psychiatric file and runs out of the office through the plant, and Tommy chases him. One of the Ghosts aims a firearm at Tommy and Green Arrow knocks his aim off. A stray bullet hits an electrical switchboard, and a live cable falls into a vat of chemicals, which blow up under the catwalk where Tommy has fallen face-down, the explosion tears through the catwalk and Green Arrow knocks Tommy out before he can continue further with his rampage.
