<p>Led by <strong>Liza Warner</strong>, <strong>China White</strong> &amp; <strong>Cupid</strong> break out of prison. While in transit the trio kill their prison guards, let the other female prisoners on the bus off and hijack the bus back to Star City.</p>
<p>While this is going on <strong>Oliver</strong> pays a visit to <strong>Amanda Westfield</strong>, <strong>Prometheus’s</strong> mother. He asks her to give him her son’s name so that he can help him. She refuses to do so because she doesn’t want her son to be caged up like an animal.</p>
<p>After that failed mission Oliver is cornered by <strong>Susan Williams</strong>. She flat out asks him if he is <strong>The Green Arrow</strong>. He tells her no. Shortly after Oliver divulges this information to <strong>Thea</strong> who then tells <strong>Felicity</strong>. Thea has Felicity hack Susan’s laptop and place evidence of plagiarism on it. Pulling something out of <strong>Merlin’s</strong> playbook, Thea then passes this information along to Susan’s boss and gets her fired. Susan then tells Oliver about her evidence and that she was planning to go public with that information but now she can’t because she has been discredited.</p>
<p>While Susan lost her job, <strong>Dinah</strong> got herself one. She is now a member of the SCPD. There she learns about <strong>Quentin’s</strong> personal vendetta with Liza Warner. Warner is former SCPD and Quentin had thought he had convinced her to turn over a new leaf. We later learn that she turned back because she saw Quentin working for <strong>Damien Darhk</strong>.</p>
<p>Liza, China White and Cupid take out members of the triad in hopes of finding information on where <strong>Tobias Church</strong> left his 100 million dollars. While hunting the trio of villainous woman, The Green Arrow is surrounded by ACU and told he is being arrested for the murder of <strong>Detective Billy Malone</strong>. He is able to escape capture by using a flash/smoke bomb from his bow. Oliver finds out that Prometheus sent <strong>Pike</strong> Billy’s autopsy that had information connecting The Green Arrow’s arrows with the death of Malone.</p>
<p>Oliver as mayor is able to get Pike to back off and the team goes after Cupid and the lot. Dinah now equipped with the <strong>Black Canary</strong> mask, given to her by Felicity, is able to knock down China White after she shoots <strong>Wild Dog</strong>. However, the ladies came prepared with their own group of thugs. Luckily Pike had the ACU track The Green Arrow and arrived on location to arrest all three women.</p>
<p>Unfortunately the big battle has just begun. Prometheus leaked information to the media that Mayor Queen and <strong>D.A. Adrian Chase</strong> covered up the murder of Detective Malone. Oliver now faces possible impeachment.</p>
<p><strong>Next Week:</strong></p>
<p>Prometheus and Oliver face off</p>

<p>On this week’s <em>Arrow</em>, the team was on the hunt for a new <strong>Black Canary</strong>. They found their new vigilante in Central City. Turns out she is a Meta Human with the same abilities as Black Canary from Earth 2.</p>
<p><strong>Tina Bowlen</strong> aka <strong>Dinah Drake</strong> got her powers on the night the particle excelorator exploded in Central City. She and her partner/lover were caught during an undercover sting operation and were taken hostage. Her boyfriend was shot and the particle excelorator exploded when she was screaming in agony. After the incident Dinah quit CCPD and began her quest to avenge her boyfriend’s death. Unfortunately when the team arrived she wanted nothing to do with them and promised to kill them if they got in her way.</p>
<p>Back at the military prison <strong>Adrian</strong> informed <strong>Diggle</strong> of a pending case against <strong>Walker</strong>, the man who is trying to get him killed. Unfortunately Adrian discovered that Walker has friends in high places and got the case slow-rolled so he won’t get the information in time for Diggle to be exonerated. Thank God the team has <strong>Felicity</strong>.</p>
<p>Felicity successfully hacked the NSA site only to discover that the file on Walker had been permanently erased. However, she didn’t give up and hit up the dark web for the information she needed. When on the dark web she was hacked by <strong>Kojo Sledgehammer</strong> (played by <strong>Kacey Rohl</strong> whom you may recognize from <em>Hannibal</em> or <em>Wayward</em> <em>Pines</em>), a huge fan of Felicity during her activist days. Kojo’s hacktivist group Helix gives Felicity the file she needs on top of information that can take down other politicians and high government executives hoping that Felicity will return to the hacktivist community.</p>
<p>The Pandora Files Felicity is given got Diggle released from jail on bail and allowed Adrian to file a motion for his exoneration.</p>
<p><strong>Oliver</strong> refused to give up on Dinah and had <strong>Curtis</strong> create a sonic dampener to suppress her powers and attempt to talk to her. Once again this was a no go and Oliver was forced to take action after she killed one of the guys working for <strong>Sonus</strong>, another Meta Human who has the ability to control sonic waves and the man who shot Dinah’s partner. Sonus was also connected to <strong>Tobias Church</strong> and sold Slide (a drug) to children. Team Arrow offers their help to take down Sonus but Dinah wants to do it herself.  Oliver even gave her his road to redemption speech but that didn’t faze her.</p>
<p>Curtis adjusted the sonic dampener to suppress Sonus’s powers and Dinah killed him. Some other cool moments from this battle included: Oliver’s helicopter ride where he hooked on to the copter and shot arrows at Sonus’s men and then proceeded to blow said helicopter up after he was done playing with it. Later on Dinah visited Mayor Oliver Queen and took him up on his offer to join Team Arrow.</p>
<p>In “Second Chances” we also got to see how Oliver got his back in Russia. <strong>Talia al Ghul</strong> rescued Oliver from his captors and informed him that the hood he wears is from one of her former students <strong>Yao Fei Gulong</strong>; the man Oliver met on the island. Talia offered up information on <strong>Kovar</strong> to Oliver if he would hear out her offer. She is the one who trained Oliver to use the bow and arrow and who taught him to give the monster inside him an identity. This is where his famous opening slogan “I had to become someone else, something else” came from along with his first <strong>Green Arrow</strong> suit and bow.</p>
<p><strong>Next Week:</strong></p>
<p>Oliver and the team head to Russia in 2017 to stop a nuclear arms dealer</p>

<p>Last night’s episode of <em>‘Arrow’ </em>“<em>So It Begins</em>” slowly began to unravel clues as to who <strong>Prometheus</strong> is. The episode kicked off with <strong>Spartan</strong> (<strong>Diggle</strong>) and <strong>The Green Arrow</strong> (<strong>Oliver Queen</strong>) following <strong>Church’s</strong> cell phone to a message left by Prometheus. After finding the phone and listening to Prometheus breathe heavily into the other end of the line, all the torches in the building went out and flames on the floor displayed &#8220;And so it begins&#8221;.</p>
<p>Later in the episode we learned exactly what Prometheus was talking about. The menace killed a mother of two and continued to drop bodies throughout the episode. The team, well Oliver and Diggle, tried to work out a way to decode Prometheus’s message before a 5<sup>th</sup> body turned up. Unsuccessful, Oliver once again learns that he can’t do this by himself and conjures up the team to take control of the chaos in an outdoor mall after Prometheus was apparently spotted there.</p>
<p>Riding down on Oliver’s line, which much be awesome, the team of <strong>Artemis</strong> (<strong>Evelyn Sharp</strong>), <strong>Mr. Terrific</strong> (<strong>Curtis Holt</strong>) and <strong>Wild Dog</strong> (<strong>Rene Ramirez</strong>) rescued civilians while Spartan, Oliver and <strong>Ragman</strong> (<strong>Rory Regan</strong>) disarmed other civilians. The team saves the city for the moment and heads back to the arrow-cave.</p>
<p>Back at headquarters <strong>Felicity</strong> enlisted the help of Curtis to decode what message Prometheus is trying to send Oliver. They discovered he is killing people whose names, specifically the letters in their names, rearrange to names on Oliver’s former kill list. Yet another thing Oliver didn&#8217;t disclose to his team. Rory, Rene and Curtis were mad but Evelyn took it hard. Oliver was the one who stopped her from seeking her revenge and killing the person who murdered her parents. However, the team had to temporarily overlook this deception and get back to work. Using the algorithm uncovered by Curtis and Felicity, the team was able to figure out who Prometheus may be targeting next. Each team member was then assigned to guard a person.</p>
<p>Trying to reach out to Evelyn, Felicity tried to get her to open up when she is on the subway for guard duty. Not wanting to hear Felicity anymore she turns off her com. This proved to be a huge mistake as Evelyn ran into Prometheus and was forced to fight him. Lucky for her Felicity tipped off Oliver and he arrived in the nick of time to save her and the man she was guarding. Unfortunately Prometheus escaped and left a present (a bomb) behind. Unable to disarm the bomb in time the three escaped the subway via parachute arrow before it exploded. Evelyn then chose to give Oliver a second chance after this incident; he did save her life after all.</p>
<p>In hopes of catching Prometheus, Felicity stole the throwing star left at the crime scene from <strong>Billy’s</strong> desk. She discovered that the throwing stars have a specific and rare type of alloy. Digging deeper Felicity determined that Prometheus gathered the arrows from Oliver’s murders in previous years and melted them down in order to make his own weapons. The only way that he could have had access to that was if he had access to the SCPD weapons vault. Therefore, unveiling that he is a member of the SCPD.</p>
<p>Later on she came clean to Billy about taking the throwing star and the fact that she works for The Green Arrow, hence her late nights and frequent disappearances. Billy told her she is a criminal but accepts it and her because it’s for a good cause. That went much better than anyone thought.</p>
<p>Later on <strong>Lance</strong> was visited by Prometheus; he woke up after an alcohol induced blackout with a cut on his arm and a throwing star on his coffee table. Why didn’t Prometheus kill him? Does he know Prometheus? Is this a warning of his impending death?</p>
<p>“So It Begins” also showed us the beginning of Bratva’s war with <strong>Konstantin Kovar</strong>. In Russia, <strong>Anatoly</strong> taught Oliver how to make a bomb. The two are ambushed by Kovar’s men moments after Oliver almost blows himself up. Kovar has declared war against Bratva and Oliver was forced to go undercover as his former playboy self to blow up Kovar’s new casino.</p>
<p>Oliver and <strong>Ishmael Gregor</strong> are captured by Kovar when trying to blow up his casino. Gregor was killed but Oliver is left alive. Could Kovar or a relative of his be Prometheus exacting his revenge on Oliver? If so, what did Oliver do to Kovar?</p>
<p><strong>Next Week:</strong></p>
<p>A new vigilante arrives and starts killing people. Like the team really needs this now.</p>

<p>As we saw in <a href="http://respect-mag.com/2016/10/arrow-recap-penance/">last week’s</a> episode of ‘<em>Arrow’</em>, <strong>Wild Dog</strong> (<strong>Rene</strong>) is being tortured by <strong>Church</strong> and the team is having difficulty locating him. However, <strong>Oliver</strong> is optimistic that they will find Rene in this week’s episode, “<em>Human Target</em>”.</p>
<p><strong>The Green Arrow</strong> and crew kick off the episode by picking up some human targets of their own, specifically street thugs, in order to find Church. While Church tortures Rene he reveals his reason behind coming to Star City. He needs the city’s water access in order to build his drug empire. Unfortunately Rene also gives Church a bit of information. He tells him The Green Arrow’s true identity; Oliver Queen. Moments later Oliver comes to his rescue and Rene comes clean.</p>
<p>Back at the arrow-cave <strong>Diggle</strong> calls in a friend with a “unique skillset” to help Oliver deal with Church. Diggle also tries to talk to Rene about what happened when he was being tortured to see if he remembers anything that can help the team figure out what Church is up to. At first Rene doesn’t remember anything but Diggle tells Rene about when his brother tortured, which in turn gets Rene to open up. We finally learn why he was dishonorably discharged; He beat a P.O.W. to get answers.</p>
<p>Diggle helps Rene go back to when he was captured to help unlock repressed memories. He is able to remember Church mentioning a meeting with the head of crime lords from other cities at private airstrip outside Penny Town. Church is looking to create the largest drug empire on the east coast.</p>
<p>Mayor Oliver Queen also got into some hot water with a councilman. He was trying to convince him to vote yes on re-zoning to create lower income homes. The councilman won’t budge due to Queen Industries and the city building sky rises instead of low-income homes in the past. Later in “<em>Human Target</em>” Oliver discovers the real reason behind is no vote; the councilman wants the land for himself as he has investors interested in the land. Oliver manages to get the councilman on his side by the end of episode. Mayor Queen also convinces <strong>Susan Williams</strong> to give him 1 month without bad press in order to earn her trust and work to fix Star City. He then gets her number.</p>
<p>I don’t think this potential relationship will last long as Susan is already digging for dirt on Mayor Queen the minute she leaves his office. A source of hers, <strong>Ian</strong>, gives her dirt on Oliver&#8217;s past. He uncovers a photo of him from 5 years ago in Russia when he was supposed to be on the island.</p>
<p>We also got to see Oliver in Russia in this episode. Oliver meets the head of Bratva, <strong>Viktor</strong> and is threatened by him. Viktor tells Oliver he isn’t really Bratva and he will never truly be Bratva. He then attempts to have Oliver killed in an alley way by luring him with a young woman who seemed to be in danger. Oliver is saved by <strong>Christopher Chance</strong> who was hired by <strong>Anatole</strong>.</p>
<p>Back in Star City Church makes his move on Mayor Queen. He hires a man to take him out. Turns out that man was being impersonated by the guy Diggle was talking about; <strong>The Human Target</strong> aka Christopher Chance. The same man who saved him in Russia 5 years before.</p>
<p>Oliver fakes his death in order to get Church to move forward with his plan in order to figure out what he has planned.</p>
<p>The team then figures out Church’s plan and heads out to break up the party. <strong>Spartan</strong> (Diggle) rejoins the team and so does Wild Dog. At the airstrip Wild Dog goes after Church again and loses him after an RPG goes off. <strong>Ragman</strong> and <strong>Artemis</strong> are about to be taken out by the archer Church hired but they are saved by Chance who was in disguise as a thug.</p>
<p>Oliver finds Church inside an air hanger and takes him on mono-e-mono. After beating Church up, he tells Oliver about <strong>Prometheus</strong> and his quest to end Oliver. Mayor Queen returns to the podium and civilization after Church and crew are captured and the rezoning for lower income housing passes. However, in route to prison the transport van Church is in is attacked. Prometheus comes for him and Church gives him The Green Arrow’s real name in hopes of having his life spared. Prometheus thanks him for the information and then kills him. That escalated quickly.</p>
<p>“<em>Human Target</em>” also showed some trouble in paradise for <strong>Billy</strong> and <strong>Felicity</strong>. Billy tells Felicity he took a job at the ACU and asks if Oliver knows about the two of them. She lies and says he does. This comes back to bite her when Chance accidentally lets Oliver know about Billy and Felicity. Oops. Oliver later confronts Felicity about her relationship with Billy and the fact that she hid it from him. Did she avoid telling him because there is a chance she still wants to be with Oliver?</p>
<p><strong>Next Week:</strong></p>
<p>Prometheus tries to bait Oliver killing people to send him a message. He is saying Oliver is the serial killer. Who is this guy and why does he hate Oliver so much?</p>

<p>Everyone in the arrow-verse is seeking penance. <strong>Oliver</strong> for all the people he has killed, <strong>Felicity</strong> for all the people she blew up, <strong>Lance</strong> for his alcoholism, <strong>Diggle</strong> for killing his brother… the list goes on and on. This week’s episode of ‘<em>Arrow’</em> taught us a great lesson. We have to keep the guilt from our past mistakes from swallowing us up in whatever way we can.</p>
<p>Oliver has made a lot of mistakes and a lot of tough choices along the way. “<em>Penance</em>” revealed Oliver’s third and final test in his initiation to Bratva. Oliver gets himself put in a Russian prison for the night in order to get information on <strong>Constantine</strong> from <strong>Pyotr Friedkin</strong>. After threatening Friedkin’s family he is able to get the information he needs. Friedkin asks him to kill him shortly after. Oliver completes the deed and is finally initiated into Bratva. “[with Russian accent] Welcome to Bratva Oliver.”</p>
<p>Back in Star City Oliver goes to talk to <strong>Rory</strong> who hasn’t shown up for training since Felicity told him the truth about Havenrock. Rory tells Oliver that he has to leave the team. He understands what Felicity did wasn’t her fault but he can’t bare the constant reminder. Later on in “<em>Penance</em>” Felicity talks to Rory and it still results in the same conclusion. He won’t come back to the team. Therefore, Felicity must make a tough call and sends the team after <strong>Church</strong> when Oliver goes rogue to save Diggle.</p>
<p>Church stole a device and rigged to blow up the evidence vault. He and his crew then take ceased weapons and then proceed to obliterate the vault. The DA and Lance escape with their lives all while Oliver and the team are brawling. They thought they could stop Oliver from breaking out Diggle. That was their first mistake. Rule one, do not get in Oliver’s way.</p>
<p>Oliver then steals a molecular device from palmer tech and with the help of <strong>Lyla</strong> heads to the military prison where Diggle is being held. Unfortunately the mission does not goes as planned and Lyla tells Oliver to abort the mission. Mr. Queen is having none of that and attacks a guard in order to get all the prisoners returned to their cells. He then uses the anti-molecular device to break Diggle out of prison. However the two run into trouble when they reach the extraction point but that doesn’t stop them. Harness + Lyla flying a military plane = mission success.</p>
<p>Back in Star City Church is at ACU (Anti-Crime Unit) headquarters trying to take out every person in the building. Felicity makes another difficult call and sends the team in after him. Lucky for her Rory comes back and helps the team goes after church.</p>
<p>At ACU headquarters the team blows up the building to save the ACU members. Rory uses himself as a shield and absorbs the blast. <strong>Curtis</strong> is stabbed in the back and <strong>Wild Dog</strong> takes on Church to allow the team to get to safety. Church and crew takes him hostage as Quentin saves the rest of the team. They are forced to leave Wild Dog behind.</p>
<p>Back at the arrow-cave Felicity can&#8217;t find Wild Dog using her tracking system. Unbeknownst to her he is being tortured for information in a warehouse. Rory calms her down and tells her that they will find him. He also promises to help keep the guilt from this and Havenrock from swallowing her up if she promises to do the same for him.</p>
<p><strong><u>Next Week:</u></strong></p>
<p>The team sets off to find Wild Dog.</p>
<p>Church learns that Oliver is <strong>The Green Arrow</strong>.</p>
<p>Mayor Oliver Queen is shot.</p>
<p>Another enemy arises.</p>

<p>Trust has been a major theme in the last two episodes of <em>Arrow</em>. After recruiting a new team, <strong>Oliver</strong> quickly loses said team due to his inability to trust them and vice versa. His Bratva (Russian) style training tactics didn’t really help either. Only able to trust himself, Oliver is forced to face <strong>Ragman</strong>, the lone survivor of Havenrock who is out for revenge.</p>
<p>Amartech, the company offering to help with a health event for Mayor Queen has been doing some dirty dealing. One of which was giving <strong>Damien Dhark</strong> the bombs that blew up Havenrock. Hence why Ragman is slowly taking out members of the company. The CEO gets a taste of his fury when she is meeting up with <strong>Tobias Church</strong>. Oliver joins in the fight and let’s Church almost kill him in hopes of recruiting Ragman to team arrow. He is successful as Ragman saves his life.</p>
<p>After Church’s encounter with <strong>The Green Arrow</strong>, <strong>Prometheus</strong> confronts Church and tells him to lay off The Green Arrow; he wants him for himself.</p>
<p>We also got to see <strong>Diggle</strong> in action. Unfortunately he and his unit are ambushed by his lieutenant who are stealing the last known bomb. The young solider is killed and Diggle is taken hostage. He is then thrown into a cell with <strong>Floyd Lawten</strong> aka <strong>Deadshot</strong>. Well a hallucination of Deadshot.</p>
<p><strong>Lyla</strong> visits Diggle and he tells her he isn’t well. He feels he deserves to be punished for killing his brother and clearly has severe PTSD because of it. Lyla then turns to Oliver for help; she wants him to break Diggle out of prison.</p>
<p>Mayor Queen hires <strong>Quentin</strong> as Deputy Mayor and that causes a political frenzy. Luckily <strong>Thea</strong> is there to handle it on Oliver’s behalf and puts that reporter in her place. Putting his trust in Quentin, Oliver realizes he needs to do the same with the new team.</p>
<p>Team Arrow assemble!&#8230; errr suit up. I’m gonna leave the catch phrases to Mr. Queen.</p>
<p>The team: Oliver, <strong>Evenlyn Sharp</strong> (<strong>Starfire</strong>), <strong>Curtis Holt</strong> (<strong>Fair Play</strong>), <strong>Rene Ramirez</strong> (<strong>Wilddog</strong>) and <strong>Rory Regan</strong> (Ragman) team up to take down <strong>Derrick Samson</strong> played by <strong>Cody Rhodes</strong>. Samson is a stardust dealer who was first attacked by Sharp and Wilddog and falls into chemicals becoming practically indestructible. The stardust drug mixed with the chemicals changed his body composition giving him enhanced strength and the inability to feel pain. Samson steals a molecular device in order to make everyone else like him and take back Star City from Church.</p>
<p>In action Curtis is saved by Rory when he is trying to disassemble a bomb. The Green Arrow also figures out how to make Samson immobile; he slices his tendons. Score 1 for new team arrow! As a reward Oliver shows the recruits the arrow cave.</p>
<p>This episode also showed us how Oliver gained his definition of trust. We are taken back to Russia where Oliver is mid-initiation into Bratva. He gets the team of guys he is with to work together to ring the bell. Next thing he knows they are all shot and killed. Oliver is then asked to trust Bratva and <strong>Anatole</strong>. He hesitates but later learns that all the recruits except himself were criminals who escaped justice. Oliver is then cut on his back by his Bratva brothers showing his trust in them not to kill him with his back turned.</p>
<p><strong>Felicity</strong> puts her faith and trust in Rory not to kill her when she tells him the truth about Havenrock. She was the one who diverted the bomb from a highly populated area to the smaller region of Havenrock. Rory looked heart broken when he told her. Will this be too much for him? Will he leave team arrow? Will he seek revenge against Felicity even though it wasn’t her fault?</p>
<p>Felicity’s other half <strong>Billy Malone</strong> (<strong>Detective Malone</strong>) summons the Green Arrow with a fake B&amp;E radio call. He then goes on to tell Oliver about Prometheus.</p>
<p>There was a lot of great comic relief in this episode. Curtis provided most of it a usual but Felicity and Oliver had some zingy one-liners. Especially the mention of hockey masks. Great <strong>TMNT Casey Jones</strong> reference.</p>
<p><strong><u>Next Week</u></strong></p>
<p>Oliver attempts to break Diggle out of prison but the new team is preventing him from doing so.</p>
<p>Church is planning something big and the team goes after him.</p>

<p>SIDEBAR: CROSSOVER PALOOZA (aka Flash-Arrow-Legends-Supergirl crossover) IS COMING!</p>

<p>Season 5 of <em>Arrow</em> premiered last night [Wednesday October 5<sup>th</sup>]. “<em>Legacy</em>” showed us the many faces of <strong>Oliver Queen</strong>: Oliver Queen as the <strong>Green Arrow</strong>, Oliver Queen as Star City’s Mayor and Oliver Queen as an assassin in Russia. We’ll start off discussing Oliver Queen as the Green Arrow.</p>
<p>Star City is being run by a solo Green Arrow, armed with new arrows, specifically a bomb decoder or computer and a parachute. There are also new emerging vigilantes trying to help our hooded hero, however Mr. Queen doesn’t want to create a new Team Arrow. He believes <strong>Thea</strong> and <strong>Diggle</strong> will come back.</p>
<p>Later in the episode Oliver must come to terms with the fact that Team Arrow is no more. Luckily for Oliver, <strong>Felicity</strong> has been looking into the new vigilantes popping up all over the city. She convinces Oliver to recruit and train them after <strong>Curtis</strong> is attacked by two thugs doing re-con. Curtis also demands to join Team Arrow to which Oliver agrees.</p>
<p>This couldn’t come at a better time as a new sharp shooter has just arrived in Star City. Meet <strong>Prometheus</strong> (not related to the DC Comic characters, this is <em>Arrow’s</em> own original character). Prometheus has an axe to grind with Oliver and will be stirring up some trouble in Star City for the vigilante. The question remains who is this villain and what did Oliver do to piss him off? As season 5 is tied to season 1, could this be a character we have seen before or could this be <strong>Mr. Kover</strong>? The man Oliver is seeking in Russia.</p>
<p>“<em>Legacy</em>” gave us another look into Oliver’s past. This time he is in Russia in some sort of fight club, killing for sport. On the hunt for a Mr. Kover, Oliver kills a man during a fight and is captured by Bratva. Thankfully an old friend and member of Bratva, <strong>Anatole</strong>, comes to Oliver’s aid and stops him from being killed. Oliver is then brought into another fight by Anatole and begins his initiation into Bratva. That is if he survives the 7-on-1 match.</p>
<p>Mayor Oliver Queen also did some bidding in this episode. He called out SCPD for being corrupt during their gala and said he was hesitant about setting up an Anti-Crime Initiative (a task force of sorts) within the department because of it. Now that <strong>Captain Lance</strong> no longer runs the unit, corruption and crime within in the force has increased significantly. Fortunately Captain Lance makes his return to Star City in time to see his daughter’s, <strong>Laurel “The Black Canary” Lance</strong>, commemorative statue. However, he is in no shape to run the department or anything else for that matter. Lance has once again fallen off the wagon after <strong>Donna Smoak</strong> left him. Oliver does convince Lance to come to the ceremony but it is quickly cut short thanks to <strong>Tobias Church</strong> and crew; they open fire at the service and take Oliver hostage in hopes to drag out the Green Arrow. If they only knew they had him in their possession already.</p>
<p>Oliver insults Church and gets himself isolated from the group. An SCPD officer takes him to a separate room and punches him in the face a few times. Oliver warns the officer about the dangers of hitting him again. The officer laughs as he believes the mayor to be zipped tied to the chair. Oliver shows the officer his now free hands and proceeds to kill the officer in order to keep his secret. Thea aka <strong>Speedy</strong> briefly comes out of retirement to help her brother only to arrive when he is killing the SCPD officer. Needless to say she was not pleased.</p>
<p>The duo escape and come back to where Oliver was held in order to rescue the other hostages taken by Church. This time Oliver has back up in the form of Speedy and 4 brave and loyal SCPD officers, hand selected by <strong>Detective Malone</strong>; a man Lance knows is squeaky clean, he doesn’t even double park, and trust worthy. After successfully saving the hostages and escaping before the building blew up, Oliver announces the start of the ACI, which is to be led by Detective Malone.</p>
<p>Church also gathers all of Star City’s criminals for a meeting, asking them to assemble and work together as one under one chain of command, presumably him. However, it seems like his reign of this team won’t last too long, especially with Prometheus in town. It won’t be long before he comes knocking on their door.</p>
<p>Other exciting things “<em>Legacy</em>” brought us:</p>
<p>We finally learned what Laurel made Oliver promise: “Please don’t let me be the last canary, that way a part of me will always be out there with you.” AWWWWW!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Felicity has a new man, ACI team member <strong>Officer Benton</strong>.</p>
<p>New CG which looks amazing and really added to the episode overall.</p>
