"Invasion!" is the eighth episode of the fifth season of Arrow, and the one-hundredth episode overall. It aired on November 30, 2016.
The episode is the third of the four-part crossover, Invasion!, with the eighth episode of the second season of Supergirl, the eighth episode of the third season of The Flash and the seventh episode of the second season of DC's Legends of Tomorrow.
Oliver is seen running in the forests on the grounds of the Queen Mansion. He heads inside, where he meets and kisses Laurel, and they are about to be married. However, it is revealed that Oliver is actually living in an alternate reality, where he never became the Green Arrow, alongside Thea, John, Sara and Ray.
In the real world, at Arrowcave, Curtis, Rene and Rory are wondering, where Oliver is, when Felicity shows up along with Cisco Ramon. Cisco asks something of Oliver's in order to vibe, in order to find out, where Oliver and others are. Rene doesn't hide his disgust with meta-humans. Cisco learns, that they seem to be in some kind of alien spacecraft. Cisco hands them a piece of Dominator tech, hoping that decrypting it could provide more insight.
Inside the false reality, Oliver is seemingly living his happy life, but as he talks with others and sees his parents alive, he starts having memory flashes about his true life. Robert takes Oliver to get a tuxedo. Sara helps Laurel with moving her stuff to the mansion, but she too, gets a memory flash, when she hugs Laurel.
Back in Arrowcave, Curtis attempts to use his "3PO"-chip in order to download information on the alien device. It seems to work, but then it overheats, and device explodes. Felicity say they need a special kind of chip made for NASA, which has been stolen by dr. Laura Washington. Rene, Curtis and Rory are eager to go and get it from her, but Felicity feels they need backup, and calls for additional help.
Oliver and Robert are walking in a back alley, where Robert tries to convince Oliver to take up a job at Queen Consolidated. When Oliver looks at a building called "Smoak Technologies", he feels something isn't right. Suddenly, they are attacked by a mugger, who demands their valuables. Robert tries to calm him down, but Oliver, without hesitation, steps in front of Robert. Just as the mugger is about to shoot Oliver, an arrow appears, and Green Arrow also appears and the mugger is taken by him. Oliver has more doubts about all of this.
At the suspected location of Washington, Rene arrives late, since he didn't agree to be sped to the site with the Flash. Supergirl also drops in, but Rene disregards her. Inside the plant, Barry attempts to ask Rene about his problem, and Kara is also interested. Rene reveals that he despises meta-humans and anyone with superpowers, thinking that superpowers are bad. He goes in alone, and is attacked by Washington.
