MONITOR'S NOTES:

 * This episode marks the name change for The Count to Count Vertigo
 * Oliver kills Count Vertigo, despite him promising himself he wouldn't kill in memory of Tommy.
 * Malcolm Merlyn makes his first appearance this season, and is revealed to be alive.
 * Merlyn makes reference to places "in which death is but an illusion", maybe hinting at Ra's al Ghul's Lazarus Pit.
 * Felicity Smoak, speaking of the Count's possible location, says "He could be also in Markovia". In the comics, Markovia is Brion Markov's kingdom.
