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. In flashbacks,  Lucas "Luke" Hilton and his partner, Frank Pike are sent to investigate the crime scene. Hilton talks with Oliver and promises to capture the killer after Oliver explains to Hilton about 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 Asselah 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 on the 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 a 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 thanks to 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 to relocate Bedlam. On 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. Oliver takes up the vigilante identity of "Green Arrow" and helps the team intercept a drug shipment by Vertigo and Green Arrow irritates Vertigo by strapping him to a search light to form a signal that resembles an arrow. 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. Death Dealer reveals that the hand cuffs are set to blow up and that he has hidden the key somewhere in the city. Death Dealer then disappears. Vigilante believes they are doomed, but Oliver calls Naomi and has her track the key's location, with it turning out the key is moving. 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. After being set free, Vigilante heads off, claiming he's late for a date. Later, Vigilante is seen on a rooftop with binoculars watching Doris wait at a fancy restaurant for her date. Vigilante then removes his mask revealing himself to be Adrian. Adrian then goes into the restaurant in a tuxedo and with flowers in his hand for Doris. As is turns out, Adrian Chase is Vigilante. In flashbacks, Eddie and Felicity Smoak take Oliver to watch a performance by the local Siamese singers. Jerome Kalevala knocks into Eddie. 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. After Eddie's reply seemingly garnered nothing but a creepy smile from Jerome, Oliver then reminds Jerome that the act of being rude wasn't funny. Jerome then challenges this remark by referring to Oliver by name and questioning the degree of privilege that was afforded to him. His mother Lila then makes an appearance, pulling Jerome into a trailer marked with a sign that said: Snake Charmer. Eddie then criticizes the mother's behavior while Oliver remarks how Jerome seemed to be creepy.
 * 4) "Bushwhacked"- When the Office of Professional Responsibility was informed that Max Cory's official report about the confrontation between the Zytle Crime Family and the FBI does not fit with forensic analysis of the shooting, OPR orders Supervisory Special Agent Victor Sage to start an internal investigation onto Cory for what he wants: a private talk with Bedlam about the details of  the ambush. Bilal Asselah and Madeline Farrow bring Sage to Lacey Towers, where they introduce him to Cory. Sage then tells him to go downstairs and grab a cup of coffee and Cory leaves the office. After Cory is gone, Sage visits Bedlam showing him the pictures of the two Zytle Crime Family members killed by Cory whom Bedlam identifies. Bedlam lies to Sage by telling them that Cory gave the chance to surrender but then they pulled out their weapons, forcing Cory to kill them both in self-defense. Sage thanks Bedlam and leaves with Farrow. Tommy decides to run against Klaus for mayor and gives Oliver an offer to work alongside him as his deputy mayor, which Oliver accepts. Oliver and Tommy get support of the SCPD and District Attorney's office, who view Bedlam as a "cop killer". Dinah visits Blackleg and learns that Bedlam had paid the inmate, Joe Chill, to attack him so he could convince the FBI to move him. With Vertigo's help, Dinah fights off inmates and guards working for Bedlam and escapes the prison, but is driven off a dock by an unknown woman. Meanwhile, depths of Doctor Ivo's own unstable psychosis and obsession with Green Arrow are revealed as he is shown alone in his penthouse, dressed up in a makeshift Green Arrow costume, lamenting to a female mannequin about the simultaneous envy and hatred he feels towards Green Arrow for the power and freedom he wields. Ivo then meets with Cory, who is enraged at being fired, and becomes intrigued by him. In flashbacks, Hilton and Steele investigate the murder of Lila Kalevala, a snake dancer with Haley's Circus, and the contesting families Flying Harpers and the Lloyd's are suspects.

Mia learns from Walter that Stephanie's family lost all their funds due to their investments with Bedlam. To make matters worse, Stephanie's father Arthur Brown attempted to take his own life by overdosing on pills and was in the hospital because of this. Believing that Briana knew about this, Mia tells Stephanie about this and confronts Briana. After telling Briana that she has failed this city, Mia splashes a milkshake on Briana's face. Briana is later on revealed to be angry at her father believing him to be a bad person that likes to ruin lives. Bedlam does research on Cory with a file on him that he obtains from Ivo, believing he has potential to be a villain. In flashbacks, Cory was raised at the Pankhurst Home for Boys, where spent most of his childhood without any close relations with anyone. Soon, Cory joined a baseball team and was discovered to have an uncanny talent of pitching the ball with perfect accuracy. As his talent grew, Cory excelled at Baseball and became the most favored player of Coach Bradley. During the evening, Bradley noticed Cory throwing his baseball at a chimney that he made a hole at the center of it.

While drawing a sketch and accidentally breaking his pencil, Cory admitted that he intentionally killed his coach and that he was not saddened by his death, asking if he was in trouble but was told that he wasn't and that his incident wasn't his complete fault. 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.

Later, Tommy is seen looking at a photograph of Malcolm and her having sex.

She declares that, starting the next day, she'll show the world just how sane she is.The next day, she is ambling down the street on roller skates, looking for all the world like a car-hop on her day off – except she's taking her two rabid pet hyenas for a walk, and passersby are scrambling to get out of her way. Thinking the problem is her outfit, Carrie ducks into a department store. Inside, Oliver Queen is reluctantly trying on clothes, with the help of socialite Veronica Greenland who is trying to get him to look more like a politician. Carrie catches sight of them and cheerfully remembers when they last met – during a hold-up. Carrie catches sight of Oliver's chin and notices a familiarity, until she identifies him as Oliver Queen (and not Green Arrow, to Oliver's relief), although her hyenas begin barking viciously at Oliver, obviously recognizing him as Green Arrow. Picking out a new dress for herself, Carrie buys it at the register, but rushes out before the clerk can remove the security tag. The clerk calls to the guard at the door, and he asks her to stop. Carrie panics, thinking she's being arrested again, and knocks over the security guard. She rushes into the dressing room, and comes out again in her clown costume. Running outside with her hyenas, she jumps behind the wheel of Oliver's car, with Veronica in the backseat, and roars away. As she does so, John Diggle, who is getting diapers for his son, swerves his car to avoid her and crashes into a hydrant, then prepares to pursue Carrie. Oliver is left standing outside the store. Hearing his daughter has been kidnapped, General Greenland angrily confronts Director Waller, who objects to using Cadmus resources for rescuing Veronica since this is not a threat to national security. Greenland ignores Waller and calls for Cadmus agents. Oliver deduces that Carrie will go to someone who can hide her and then sneak her out of town. Sure enough, she has gone running back to Tiffany Ambrosia Bedlam, who wants nothing to do with a lunatic, but when Tiffany sees Veronica, she decides to hold her for ransom. Carrie objects to this, saying Veronica is just a bystander, and will go free as soon as Carrie is away. Tiffany and Carrie begins to argue, and just then Oliver suits up as Green Arrow and goes with Black Canary to attack Tiffany's thugs. Carrie grabs Veronica again, and jumps back into the car. Tiffany narrowly escapes a mauling by Carrie's hyenas, and takes off after her in a truck. As they speed along the highway, Veronica asks if Carrie was sincere about letting her go. Carrie says yes, she's finished with crime, only she has to get out of town since no one will believe that she didn't mean to kidnap her. Touched, Veronica promises that, if she lives out the day, she'll drop all charges against Carrie, and even put in a good word with the police. Carrie is overjoyed, thinking her day is finally turning around – then a cannon blast narrowly misses the car, and the two women look to see Greenland and Cadmus charging after them in .Carrie speeds away again, then halts in the middle of an intersection in the theater district, with Diggle, Tiffany, and General Greenland. bearing down on her from three directions.There is a humongous crash, and the Arrowcar arrives a second later. As the drivers get out to look at the wreckage, Carrie calls from a rope above, drops Veronica into Black Canary's arms, then takes off. As Green Arrow takes off after her, Greenland hugs his daughter, while Allen is about to arrest Carrie, however she escapes. Up on the roof, Green Arrow urges Carrie not to throw away her hard work and her freedom. Carrie attacks, ranting about the string of troubles she's had. As Green Arrow avoids her kicks, her wild moves take her to the edge of the building, and she ends up hanging for dear life on a collapsing billboard. As it gives way, she falls, but Green Arrow saves her. He sets her down, all the fight (and, it seems, the contents of her stomach) gone out of her. Green Arrow and Black Canary return her to Arkham, but Dr. Leland assures her it won't be for long: Veronica, true to her word, dropped the kidnapping charges and it should only take a little more work before Carrie's ready to interact with "normal" people again. Carrie asks Green Arrow why he has been looking after her when she's been nothing but trouble to him. He says he can only sympathize with her honest desire to lead a normal life: "I had a bad day too, once". As a parting gift, he gives her the dress she bought. Ecstatic, she kisses him before returning to her cell. "Don't press your luck." Says Green Arrow with a smile as he and Black Canary leave.

But just then, one of the captured crooks taunts Tommy with the assurance that he and his cohorts will soon be free, and kicks a puddle of mud, splattering it on Tommy's suit. To everyone's shock, Tommy goes berserk with fury and attacks the handcuffed man, and has to be pulled off him. A second later, Tommy inexplicably reverts to his amiable, courteous self, with seemingly no memory of the fit of rage. Despite having seen the direct cause of the attack, Diggle asks what that was about and Merlyn says "I don't know. I guess he just hit the right button." Diggle mutters "That's one fucking button." Meanwhile, Death Dealer commands Cory and Asselah to find something dirty about Merlyn's past that could be used in his favor, despite his apparently spotless record and being the son of Malcolm.. At a party in Queen Manor to celebrate Tommy's achievement, Oliver reveals that he has signed over his shares of Queen Enterprises to Walter Steele due to now being the new deputy mayor.

Oliver refuses to end his search for Danica and this makes Tommy have another violent outburst. Tommy is prepared to attack Oliver only to be calmed by Dinah's intervention. Concerned, Oliver advises him to seek psychiatric help to which Dinah implies he already is, much to Tommy's embarrassment. Tommy is highly reluctant to appear vulnerable as mayor, but agrees to seek counseling. At Queen Enterprises, under hypnosis with Diggle's wife Michaels, an alternate personality known as "Big Bad Tom" surfaces. "Tom" is resentful of his father and produces a coin which he compulsively flips. Michaels reveals that as a boy Tommy suppressed his rage until it became a separate personality which is Big Bad Tom. Michaels notes that Tommy needs to realize that anger is nothing to be ashamed of in order for Big Bad Tom to go away but he refuses to let Tommy take over completely. After Michaels is nearly thrown from the window, she snaps her fingers. Tommy resurfaces, and is immediately shaken by "Big Bad Tom" and his actions, stating that he used to be able to repress him for years. Michaels suggests Tommy admit himself to a psychiatric hospital for a few days, but Tommy refuses saying it will have a bad affect on his approval ratings. Shakily, Tommy agrees to the continued (but secret) therapy sessions. Unbeknownst to Tommy, Cory and a disturbed as well as remorseful Asselah secretly overheard the incident and leave to tell Death Dealer. Later at the Mayor's office, Tommy gets a call from Death Dealer, who summons him to a meeting, or else "Big Bad Tom" will be exposed; completely demolishing Tommy's career. Noticing Tommy's strange behavior, Oliver changes into Green Arrow and follows him. At Ace Chemicals, Death Dealer and his gang confront Tommy, having found records from his childhood that show that after he fought back against a bully, the boy was later hospitalized (for appendicitis, not injuries, but young Tommy didn't know that). Feeling guilty, Tommy repressed his anger so completely that it has built up over the years, until it has become "Big Bad Tom". Death Dealer threatens to expose an increasingly agitated Merlyn unless he complies with Bedlam's agenda. Suddenly calm, Tommy smiles and says: "There's one problem: You're talking to the wrong Tommy." Now it is Big Bad Tom who rises and attacks Death Dealer and his accomplices, wiping out the gang with the reluctant aid of Green Arrow and his team.  Death Dealer grabs the psychiatric file and runs out of the office through the plant, and Tommy chases him. One of the Ghosts aims a firearm at Tommy and Green Arrow knocks his aim off.
