He's still got Diggle, who seems to be okay with his secret identity as "Queen's Black driver", but Felicity is none too pleased with pretending to be Oliver's secretary. Oliver needs all the help he can get now, especially with his increased responsibilities as the new CEO of Queen Consolidated and his new-found ambition of becoming a respectable crime-fighter rather than a short-sighted vigilante. Roy also gets an earful from Oliver himself, but when Ollie learns just how chaotic the Glades are becoming, he talks to Roy again as the vigilante and recruits him to be his eyes and ears in the dangerous territory. This incident sets up a number of conflicts for Roy, including an ultimatum from Thea ( Willa Holland) that forces him to choose between his relationship with her (symbolized by that very same stone that Oliver found in the cave and gave to Thea upon his previous return) or his dangerous life of crime-fighting in the Glades. Oliver finds a stone arrowhead with Japanese kanji on it.īack in Starling City, Roy ( Colton Haynes) is in trouble with the law again (surprise) and he gets a stern anti-vigilante message from Laurel ( Katie Cassidy).

The trio then finds a hideout full of disfigured skeletons of Japanese imperial soldiers, there since World War II. Slade ( Manu Bennett) later warns Queen not to fall too hard for her since that will only make his time on the island more difficult. In this episode, Shado helps him deal with his guilt over the murder with a little lakeside love-making session. In the season premiere, mysterious invaders of the island put Shado ( Celina Jade) in harm's way and Queen reacts by bludgeoning one of the men to death. Since Arrow likes to split time between the present day in Starling City and a previous time spent on the island, we'll tackle the island first.
Got that? Good! Now on to tonight's episode.
#The arrow season 1 episode 2 series#
Queen's return to Starling City in the season two premiere paralleled that of his return from isolation in the series premiere, but this time around, the vigilante Hood is transitioning to the crime-fighting Green Arrow to honor the memory of the fallen Tommy Merlyn ( Colin Donnell). The premiere had all of these strengths in spades, from Queen's introduction via a shirtless Tarzan-esque rescue to a hostile takeover of Queen Consolidated by Isabelle Rochev ( Summer Glau) and multiple battles against hooded copycat vigilantes. One of the best things about Arrow is its balance of comicbook action series (explosions, crazy stunts, brutal fights, etc) with that of a soap opera drama (intricate romantic entanglements, political intrigue, and plenty of hot bodies on either side of the gender divide). Last week on Arrow's season two premiere, Diggle ( David Ramsey) and Felicity ( Emily Bett Rickards) ventured to the isolated island in order to convince Oliver to return, not as the hooded vigilante, but as a member of the Queen family.
