All 22 Arrow Season 7 episodes ranked from worst to best

6. “Due Process” (Episode 6)

Oliver’s imprisonment lent itself nicely to a number of storylines throughout the first half of Season 7, as his unique friendship with Stanley saw him take it upon himself to protect the seemingly-harmless man.

On the inside, the prison storylines continued to benefit the tone of the show while, out in Star City, Laurel’s quest to prove herself as the District Attorney resulted in her coming through for the good guys more than anyone ever expected her to. And that was the character development we all craved from her.

5. “Elseworlds, Part 2” (Episode 9)

Under normal circumstances, it would be hard to rank a single episode of the Arrowverse crossover, but as Arrow‘s offering of Elseworlds was the one where all of the major stuff went down, it’s pretty easy this time.

It was goosebump-inducing to see the larger-than-life Gotham City come to life in the Arrowverse, just as it was awe-inspiring to see Batwoman make her live-action debut – and the showdown with the villains in Arkham Asylum was nothing short of epic. And all that was before they teamed with Earth-90 Flash to take on The Monitor.

4. “Past Sins” (Episode 11)

What worked best about “Past Sins” was the fact that it was pretty light on the action and, instead, prioritised the character arcs of Oliver and Laurel. Running parallel to each other, the two deeply-troubled characters had to face elements of their past to truly move on and the result, particularly for the latter, made for a truly compelling watch.
