The city's leadership is confronted by Death Dealer, who offers to stop the crime wave in exchange for control over the city. Mayor Klaus refuses due to preferably doing things legally.  Oliver is revealed to have been staying in Los Angeles, California, with Naomi for months where Naomi is revealed to be pregnant.  Feeling overpowered, Dinah and Mia visit Oliver and Naomi for help in stopping Death Dealer. Oliver, who was planning to propose to Naomi, reluctantly agrees. Tensions begin to arise between Oliver and Diggle, who is still mad at Oliver for having kidnapping Michaels. The city leadership are being killed by the Ghosts. Chief O'Hara barely makes it alive after the Ghosts invade the police department. Oliver decides that before he helps the team, he is to find a new identity and goes to explore the Glades. After refusing a proposition from a teenage prostitute Nirvana Robinson, Oliver is reluctantly drawn into a brawl with her violent pimp and is attacked by several prostitutes. Two police officers shoot and take him in their squad car, but a dazed and bleeding Oliver breaks his handcuffs and causes a crash, dragging the police to a safe distance before fleeing. He reaches Queen Manor barely alive and sits before his father’s bust, requesting guidance in his war on crime. A green arrow crashes through a window and settles on the bust, giving him the inspiration to become the Green Arrow. Meanwhile, in Blackleg Prison, criminal Damian Bedlam decides to make a deal with the FBI to protect his love Tiffany, who can be charged as an accessory to his crimes. The case is assigned to Agent Bilal Asselah, who is struggling with being unable to receive a promotion due to financial troubles after he paid for his sister-in-law's cancer treatment.

Hilton talks with Oliver and promises to capture the killer after Oliver explains to Hilton of what happened when the Queens butler, Eddie Fyers arrives for Oliver.
 * 2) "Criminal World"- The Zytle Crime Family is one of the most powerful criminal organizations in Star City. Establishing their illicit business in multiple directions, such as drug trafficking ring in Kiev, counterfeiting, and Dark Web child pornography, the Bratva drew the attention of the Star  City Police Department and District Attorney's Office. However, the mob avoided prosecutions, bribing police officers, judges, and even the deputy mayor. The Star City FBI Crime Division becomes interested in Count Vertigo and Agent Asselah uses information given by Bedlam to arrest Zytle. The task force led by Asselah storms the mansion where the FBI arrests all the mobsters as well as corrupted police officers and judges connected with the mob. The FBI also seizes computers in order to track their money trail. Farrow congratulates Asselah for a job well done but warns Aseelah that if she puts him on the Bedlam detail his file will is required reading and the FBI command in Washington D.C will learn everything about his financial problems. Annoyed, Asselah claimed that none of this could have happened without the unexpected connection between him and Bedlam. Anyway, that was probably Asselah's last chance to stabilize his family's financial situation. Farrow then finally hands Bedlam's case to Asselah condition that he will keep Bedlam talking. News of Bedlam's cooperation with the FBI spreads fast, and in retaliation he is attacked in prison by a fellow inmate. Upon learning this, Farrow and Asselah meet with Mayor Klaus. Farrow tries to convince Klaus to release Bedlam from Blackleg and place him in private location under FBI protection which Klaus refuses pointing that Bedlam is a criminal who was responsible for deaths of several SCPD officers and one of the officers killed by Bedlam was Adrian Chase's brother Dorian. Bedlam reminds Klaus about the danger posed by Vertigo which was taken down thanking Bedlam's leads. He then explained that Bedlam's knowledge about criminal organizations can save a lot of innocent lives if the FBI and Mayor will keep him alive. Thinking about Asselah's arguments, Klaus allows the FBI relocate Bedlam. One the way to home detention with Bedlam, the FBI convoy is attacked by the Zytle Crime Family on the way. The Zytle Crime Family has set up explosives on the road and several armored vehicles were destroyed. The Zytle Crime Family then kills multiple agents on the way to Bedlam. However, before they could kill Bedlam, an agent named Max Cory kills all of the mobsters, even when they drop their weapons and surrender to him. Oliver goes to Queen Enterprises to meet Steele and his son Walter Jr. Steele allows Oliver access to prototype defense technologies, including a green protective bodysuit, new bow,  trick arrows and a heavily armored car, the Tumbler.

In flashbacks, after the death of his parents, Oliver begins to show erratic behavior, such as self-harm, listening to heavy metal, drawing disturbing artwork, refusing to eat and overall behaving recklessly, doing things such as climbing on top of the roof of the Queen Mansion, burning himself, and cutting himself, which disturbs Eddie and Hilton.
 * 3) "No Good Deed"- On a news show, O'Hara, is interviewed alongside Star City's current Mayor, Wilson Klaus, and prominent psychologist, Dr. Anthony Ivo, who had the government drop charges against him in exchange for assisting them in their super soldier experiments, on the subject of Green Arrow. Ivo accurately theorizes that Green Arrow must be motivated by a traumatic loss wrought by violent crime, but goes on to claim that  Green Arrow's costumed vigilantism is primarily an exercise in power and control for his own benefit, rather than anyone else's. O'Hara rebukes Ivo's analysis, explaining that the costume is simply to scare criminals and Green Arrow is honestly trying to help Star City. But Mayor Klaus sides with Ivo and takes a hard stance against Green Arrow, announcing on-air that he's forming a police task force to apprehend Green Arrow and assigning Diggle to head it. Upset with Klaus, O'Hara makes it public knowledge that Klaus had Bedlam released from Blackleg, which leads to protests outside City Hall. Impressed by his apparent expertise on Green Arrow, Klaus offers Ivo a job as a police consultant, which he accepts. As a caveat, Ivo demands full access to all police records, beginning with notable murder cases in Star City, so he can start profiling the emerald archer and unravel his true identity. Oliver goes to spy on Bedlam and meets a man in ski goggles calling himself Vigilante. Vigilante attempts to kill Bedlam only to get into a fight with Oliver, but they are both knocked out by a mysterious stranger. When they wake up they have been hand cuffed to each other and the stranger is revealed to be Death Dealer, who introduces himself.

As it turns out, the key is being carried by Death Dealer and the two are forced to fight him. They manage to defeat him, with Death Dealer giving them the key before once again disappearing.

Jerome then snaps at Eddie to which he is chided by Felicity for his apparent carelessness. Jerome then insults them, which prompted another chiding from Felicity.

Jerome then challenges this remark by referring to Oliver by name and questioning the degree of privilege that was afforded to him.

Eddie then criticizes the mother's behavior while Oliver remarks how Jerome seemed to be creepy.

Oliver and Tommy get support of the SCPD and District Attorney's office, who view Bedlam as a "cop killer".

Teaching him about the act of empathy, Meridian was eventually able to connect with Cory, advising him on control of his psychopathic tendencies. Cory became attached to her and managed to gain some stability in his life. However, Meridian was diagnosed with cancer. Upon their session, Cory attempted to kill her, unable to accept her upcoming death and believing he was being abandoned again.
