Alarm goes off in a Russian missile attack warning center. Nuclear missiles are being armed.

Felicity reports about the nuclear missile situation. She makes snarky comments about Rubicon and its existence. Says she needs help from her father to hack into Rubicon to stop Darhk's mission. 21 hours to save the world. She has trackers looking for him already.

Oliver asks to talk to Diggle privately. He tells Diggle about nexus chambers.

Thea is being held in a house under guard. Merlyn shows up. He tells her about Darhk's plan. She wants to see Alex and tells him if he doesn't cooperate she's going to annoy him until he does. He takes her to see Alex.

Donna is waiting for Lance and confronts him about an affidavit he's being asked to sign stating that he didn't know Laurel was the Black Canary. Donna doesn't like that he's going to lie, even though he explains the complexity of it all. She trusts that he'll do the right thing.

Darhk is looking for The Calculator too and sends Murmer and Brick to find him.

Arrow and Spartan are looking for him too, but he's not i the apartment Felicity directed them to. Oliver uploads video to her showing that HIVE was looking for him, but he bolted before they got to him.

Lonnie Machin is in the Darkh's ark looking for the man in charge and kills a ghost.

Diggle tells the rest of Team Arrow that, yep, Noah is the only one who can stop Rubicon. If not, Darhk wouldn't have gone after him.

Felicity is digging through Noah's directory and comes across something called Raven Spur. It sounds familiar, but she can't put her finger on it.

Flashback time! Reiter is alive and Oliver is going to hunt him down.

Donna is upset with Lance when she sees him signing the affidavit. He shows her that he's changed the wording to reflect that he did know about Laurel's alter ego.

She tells him there are more important things happening at the moment, and she'll get back to business as soon as she can. Donna shows up as Dennis storms off. Felicity asks her mother about Raven Spur. Donnas shares that it was a cabin her and her father used to go to and where she thinks Felicity was conceived.

HIVE has already arrived at the cabin. Noah fights them off. Brick wants to play a game with Noah which allows for Arrow and Spartan to get there to attack.  Arrow basically lets Brick go who runs off. Felicity shows up at just the right time with the van to get her dad.

12 hours before it all ends.

Merlyn shows up and tells her about Lonnie and his plan to destroy the oxygen generators. He convinces her to help him fight Lonnie or they will all die.

Felicity is back at the bunker and quite upset and what has happened. Oliver comes up with a plan to break into the Palmer Tech to get the processor they need. She has Noah in tow. They actually go on an elevator to break into her office. He tries to make small talk about father/daughter relationships.

Diggle manning video and directing them all. Oliver is in the stairwell and gets accosted. He fights them off.

Felicity is locked out and has to hack into her office because the code has been changed. She can't get the processor, but Noah can downlaod the information wirelessly. He can't get it all because security is on the way. 

They take off and Lance is at the exact door they come out waiting there for them to give them a ride.

Noah was only able to extract 90% of the processor, but it was enough to start.

Flashback! Reiter's power is strong. He and Oliver fight.
