When Hilton is picking up Diggle at a train station, they witness a group of corrupt cops led by Ben Singleton harassing a homeless woman. Hilton and Diggle beat them all up and Diggle gives the woman some money. Diggle demands to know from Hilton why there is so much police corruption in Starling City, however, Hilton refuses to answer. Oliver meets with Queen Enterprises CEO Frederick Tuckman , who gives him some papers to sign soon. Knowing the anger Oliver is now in, Eddie suggests a lawyer, and Oliver thinks of another old friend- Dinah Lance. However, Dinah refuses to speak with Oliver due to being angry at him for leaving her as a teenager years ago. Because of this, Oliver decides to ask his friend Tommy Merlyn, who is an executive of Merlyn Corp, for advice. Tommy welcomes Oliver back and says he will look at the papers. Oliver is informed by Eddie that Hilton called for him at Queen Chemicals. Arriving there, and noticing the green pool of hazardous chemicals, Hilton and Oliver, only to learn neither one called the other. It's a trap! The access hatch closes and locks, and water rushes in. In flashbacks, at 2 A.M. Robert Queen sits in the secret underground portion of his study, slowly realizing that he is hearing strange noises coming from his study. After making a brief call to the Starling City Police Department, he arms himself with a handgun and goes up to find a ransacked study. Making his way into the foyer, he encounters three men wearing Halloween-styled masks. After a brief shootout, he manages to badly wound one of the masked individuals, and drive the two others away. Just when Robert thinks everything is okay, he finds that he has taken for granted the badly-wounded intruder who is about to shoot him.
 * 2) "Welcome Back, Oliver Queen"- Working together, Hilton and Oliver find a tunnel 20 feet overhead, and using acrobatics, Oliver gets himself and Hilton to safety. Both agree that someone wants them dead. Nearby, a mysterious man (Jim Caviezel) watches. The next morning, Oliver and Hilton meet with forensic scientist Walter Steele, talking about his late father, whom they described him as "nervous" just before he died. As Steele says he will check around, Oliver meets with Tommy, who demands that he does not sign the papers. While this happens, Tommy gets two phone calls from his father Malcolm. All of a sudden, Tommy's mood swings and he tells Oliver to sign the papers. Oliver changes the subject and asks about Dinah, and Tommy tells him to give her some time. As they leave, two sedans come up behind the Rolls and open fire. A chase begins with Oliver barely making it out alive. Back at Queen Manor, Oliver creates a ruse to explain why he did not turn in the papers yet. Just then, Hilton calls and tells him what Steele found: weekly shipments of hazardous waste. Oliver wants to meet, but Hilton tells Oliver to stay. Oliver gets an idea, alarming Eddie. Later, Oliver arrives at Queen Chemicals, dressed  in a green hood, and follows Hilton, John Diggle, and Roy Harper. Suddenly, the three encounter the bad guys. Oliver helps, but stays out of sight the whole time. After killing the last guy (by shooting him with an arrow ), he and Eddie leave, with Oliver commenting that he may have found something he's good at. Oliver and Eddie meet with Hilton, learning the chemicals were drugs, and later hear that the head bad guy hung himself. Later, Oliver is greeted by a surprise birthday party with Mia, Lucas, Steele, and Tommy. Tommy destroys the papers Oliver was told to sign, as he now owns QueenCorp. Tuckman comes to the party, and tells Oliver that their stock might take a beating if word gets out about the drugs. He gives him a book, "Business for Beginners", and after he leaves, Oliver tells everyone that he has a lot to learn and he's staying in Starling. In flashbacks, just as Robert thinks it is the end for him, Eddie Fyers steps in and puts an end to the intruder .Before sunrise, Frank Pike and his week-long partner Lucas Hilton  arrive at the Queen Manor to investigate the incident. Frank gets chastised by Hilton after he briefly flirts with Sabrina Williams the newscaster, who is on the scene to inquire about the rumors surrounding the robbery. After a long conversation with the Queen couple (in which Frank notes that Eddie Fyers is a sniper and Moira Queen is quite attractive), the detectives quickly depart from the scene, noting that the incident doesn't quite fit the pattern of the recent art thefts that have been plaguing Starling.
 * 3) "Love American Style"- Oliver remembers seeing on the board that Hilton had in his office believing that Queen Enterprises is responsible for all the crime in Starling City. That makes Oliver decide to investigate Frederick Tuckman  by having Eddie convince Tuckman to give him a job in the IT department where he meets Naomi Singh.

Later, Robert gets into a discussion with Oliver Queen and his reaction to the events that have transpired. Oliver reiterates his fascination with monsters as manifested through the eyes of the book Grendel. He also discusses a growing anger with injustice, and how criminals need to be punished. Oliver concludes that he prefers math and science over literature in school, as a true solution can be found with the first two, while there is no simple one for the last. Before he is dismissed, he once again asks permission to take boxing lessons with Eddie, but is rejected outright by Moira. Moira brings up the possibility that the robbery was an inside job, which gives Robert an idea.
 * 4) "A Deadly Shot"- Oliver tracks down a corrupt millionaire named James Holder, who has been supplying defective fire alarms to people in the Glades, which resulted in numerous casualties. When Oliver confronts Holder with the intention of giving him a chance to right his wrongs, Holder is gunned down by Lawton (Will Smith), a mercenary calling himself Dead Shot. Oliver decides to play the spoiled billionaire playboy routine in order to cover suspicion on him. Oliver deduces that Lawton is Dead Shot and that he was assigned to kill businessmen, including Tuckman at an auction. As the Hood, Oliver enlists the help of Hilton to prevent Lawton's plan while providing him with evidence that Gotham City businessman John Deleon, who is at the auction to bid for control over Palmer Tech, contracted Lawton. Hilton then has Deleon arrested. Oliver stops Lawton, apparently killing him. However, Diggle is shot during the fight after saving Frederick Tuckman from being gunned down by the assassin.

Later, Oliver discovers a connection between Peter Deccan, a death row inmate, and Tim Paul, one of Tuckman’s associates. As the vigilante, he enlists the help of Dinah to prove Deccan's innocence. Working together, the pair uncovers the truth, but Paul has his mercenaries stage a prison riot so that they can have Dinah and Deccan killed before the truth is revealed. Oliver sneaks into the prison dressed as a guard and saves the two, with her realizing that the vigilante is merciless. Deccan is exonerated while Brooder is arrested. Diggle starts to obsessively tail Oliver, determined to prove that he is a vigilante. In flashbacks, Robert recruits the services of Gregory Collins, a former SCPD detective turned private investigator, who had been kept on a retainer by Robert for the past 10 years as a way of helping keep Anthony Ivo and his machinations in check. Robert remembers the awkward years where he allowed Ivo to operate unchecked, followed by the years after, where he funded the various victims of Ivo's experiments who over time either died of sickness and natural causes or just gradually disappeared. Gregory points out that Robert should check up on Karen Jennings, the only living survivor of Pinewood Farms. Robert agrees and after a brief discussion about the break-in, he heads home. But after a series of attempts to contact Karen on the phone fails, he breaks off and heads toward her hideout instead.
 * 6) "Mr. Freeze"- Roy and Diggle begin investigating a kidnapping and murder spree, unaware that a scientist named Victor Fries (Nathan Darrow) and his colleague Ferris Boyle are the culprits. Fries has been killing people to see if they're organs are a perfect match for a woman he is obsessed with reviving named Nora Fields (Kristen Hager). Boyle determines that Nora needs an organ transplant, but due to her rare blood type there are no suitable donors available. Fries declares that they will use live donor, even if it means the donor will die in the process. Boyle is at first reluctant to kill an innocent girl, but Fries offers Boyle more money that will put an end to his financial problems. Dinah Lance is a perfect match, and Fries learns from her friend Joanna de la Vega that Dinah is having dinner with Tommy. Fries then attacks the restaurant and kidnaps Dinah, taking her to an abandoned oil rig where he and Boyle are. Oliver tries to rescue Dinah only to get injured.

After a fist fight between the two, a civilian arrives and orders them to stop fighting or he will call the police. Diggle tells Oliver that he thinks Oliver is not a hero and that Oliver is a coward for hiding behind a hood and not owning up to what he does, and says that he will prove what he truly is soon enough, that he knows that he is up to something, and says that he will be watching him. Oliver deduces that Fries is at the oil rig and goes there to save Dinah. Fries and Boyle explain the situation to Dinah, who claims that she is willing to help Nora for the "blood transfusion", but not at the oil rig, prompting Fries to keep Dinah imprisoned. When the time for the operation comes, Dinah realizes that they are lying when they say she will need to be put under for a mere transfusion. She escapes with the help of Koontz. Boyle gives pursuit and almost catches her, before Oliver arrives as The Hood. Fries arrives, and in the ensuing confrontation, Boyle accidentally shoots one of the fuel tanks and starts a rapidly spreading fire as Fries traps Oliver. Fries insists that Boyle perform the operation, despite the oil rig blazing and ready to explode, but Boyle betrays Fries and attempts to escape, only to be killed by falling wreckage. Dinah and The Hood work together to save Nora and Koontz. Unfortunately, Fries is "killed" in the explosion despite Oliver’s efforts to save him after he and Dinah take the other two to his boat. Oliver feels that he hasn't seen the last of Victor Fries and convinces Tuckman to revive Nora with an organ transplant operation funded by Queen Enterprises. In the end, Fries is pleased with this while in hiding at the Arctic. In flashbacks, Barnes has Karen arrested which is why Robert, Steele, and Hilton break her out.

Lucas Jr. reveals that he seeks to destroy the Hood — "the weakest man in Starling" — and create a new generation of psychopaths by tainting a baby food production line. Though badly wounded, Diggle stabs Lucas Jr. in the eye when he attacks him. The Hood then bursts through the window and reveals he injected him with a tracking device when he shook hands earlier, noting that, while he might trust people, that does not stop him from being suspicious.

After the hit man is arrested, he is killed in prison by a man impersonating a police officer. Roy informs Diggle that Kara has died of heart failure and confronts him with his suspicions that they were sleeping together.

In the present day, Oliver decides that he needs a man inside the SCPD after escaping from the police and Eddie suggests that man be Diggle.
