1. Moira Queen’s Death
Moira Queen’s death was no ordinary death. Moira Queen’s death was a sick, twisted consequence of Slade Wilson’s over the top vendetta against Oliver Queen, which served as nothing more than a way for Slade to deliver Oliver revenge in an extreme eye-for-an-eye fashion. Previously in the season, we were shown that while on Lian Yu, Oliver was forced to choose between Sara Lance and Shado as Professor Ivo was going to kill one of them. First off, Ivo is one twisted dude to put Oliver in the position. Secondly, Slade is even more twisted. To avenge Shado’s death, he made Oliver once again choose whose life he would like to save. This time, however, it was between his sister and his mother. By the end of the scene, Moira Queen was dead with a sword driven through her chest.
This scene tops the list for a number of reasons. For starters, it came out of absolutely nowhere. After a relatively tame episode from season 2 that focused on Roy Harper, Seeing Red ended with a surprise car accident that forced the limo Oliver, Moira, and Thea were in off the road. When the three woke up, they were in the same position from the island, with both of Oliver’s loved ones on the chopping block. For starters, we had no idea who Oliver was going to choose. He didn’t even know who he was going to choose. Would Slade just kill both of them? My mind was racing during this scene. This scene also showed Deathstroke at his absolute worst, forcing Oliver to relive the traumatic situation just because he didn’t like the outcome of the first time Oliver was forced to make the impossible choice. I guess he wouldn’t be Deathstroke if he were reasonable.
