Laurel has given up being Black Canary to take care of Lance,, who is on crutches for a while due to the injuries he received at the hands of Wilson.  John has been protecting the people of Starling City (now known as Star City),  as Spartan with help from Oliver and Felicity since The Arrow is "dead". . Unfortunately, a new vigilante appears in Star City and starts killing some of the criminals John secures. Oliver deduces that the vigilante targets the murderers who were exonerated.

 * 2) "Green Arrow"- Oliver  learns that medicine being sent to Leslie Thompkins' clinic is being stolen by China White. John sets up a trap for China White, who escapes after having her clawed henchman Ben Turner AKA Bronze Tiger fight him; the police arrive and the two escape. Oliver  learns from Leslie that Robert did know that Mia  wasn't his daughter after he had her do a DNA test on Mia, but Robert still loved Mia  as if she were his own. And with that, Oliver is able to convince Mia  to come back home. Oliver takes the name "Green Arrow", and broadcasts a message to the city vowing to be a hero, and to never kill. Lance  arranges for John to get a high paying security job with Hank Henshaw (David Harewood) at his firm.
 * 3) "Trust But Verify"- After an armored truck is robbed, Oliver  believes that one of the thieves is Hank Henshaw. Oliver visits Hank and steals encrypted data, as John prevents the former from getting any information directly from Hank. Felicity  reveals that the data are plans for robbing armored trucks, which Oliver uses to track the thieves. John discovers that Hank was the mastermind behind the robberies, and is forced to join Hank's team when Hank kidnaps his mother, but backs out of helping them at last. Oliver as the Green Arrow  arrives in time and subdues Hank for the police. Later on, Hank gets released from prison to go back to running the D.E.O.

While he waits to convince her, Oliver assists John on a mission for A.R.G.U.S. to ascertain the whereabouts of one of its agents, Mark Shaw. Mark is revealed to have broken into the A.R.G.U.S. database and stolen information to sell on the black market. John and Oliver manage to stop him, but Shaw convinces John to tell Waller that he is dead. Using Felicity's help, Ray opens a file of details of advanced weaponry. Oliver reveals to Mia that Robert did know that she wasn't his daughter, but still loved her as if she were his own. But Mia still refuses to return since  she is still angry at everything that has happened.

Mia meanwhile decides to return to Star City and Malcolm  allows her to do so.
 * 6) "Crocodile"- Lance tries to identify a body, but realizes that the body is Sampson's  girlfriend and goes looking for  Sampson  after realizing that he might have killed her.

Green Arrow finally decides to accept Mia's help to stop Sampson from making more people like him. Adrian Chase also searches for Sampson,  now renaming himself as Killer Crock, so he can get revenge for his brother's death.

Church  is against that idea, but Zytle  is in favor of it. Oliver,  realizing that the Irish had a now missing dog, has Felicity  track it to a nearby apartment.

Wells refuses which is why Eiling kidnaps Jason, who tortures him until Green Arrow, Spartan, The Flash,  and Albert save him. Albert and Jason reunite by the tachyon piece to survive the military onslaught. The duo gains enough control to be able to merge and separate on command.
