Episodes Edit

 * 1) "Crucible"- Five months after defeating Death Dealer, Mia is trying to cover for Oliver's lateness to a city function when Hilton starts asking questions. Meanwhile, Green Arrow is battling Mad Stan when the Vigilante turns up and tries to assist him. Green Arrow is revealed to know know Adrian Chase is Vigilante and brutalizes Adrian warning him to stay out of this way. Oliver then arrives at the party late and starts his speech. Oliver then goes to the Arrowcave where Walter Jr. is helping his father on his tech. Diggle, who has been promoted to lieutenant, gives Oliver details on Vigilante. Oliver refuses to listen to the idea of recruiting people. Walter Jr. then leaves for his date with Officer Anon Mallory. After the two men buy flowers, they are ambushed by thugs at the Queen Municipal Park. Mayor Queen is informed by Hilton and Detective Nathaniel Driver that gay people are attacked all over the neighborhood. Oliver visits Walter Jr. at the hospital promising to find the people who did this when he learns Mallory has been killed. The entire SCPD is motivated to stop the attacks since Mallory was a policeman. Posing as a homosexual, Oliver is attacked by thugs. Oliver discovers the thugs work for a mobster named Tobias Whale. Whale goes to visit his associate Tyler Hacker, who explains how business is great for the mob,  with recruitment, drugs, prostitution, protection all doing well. Whale provides his people with cocaine, but he abstains because it gives him an edge over them. Suddenly, Oliver confronts them. Oliver tells Whale that Hacker has been drawing negative attention to him by coordinating the recent attacks against homosexuals. Oliver adds that Hacker has a personal vendetta against homosexuals because he was twice a victim of gang rape while in prison. Despite this, Whale states that Oliver won't have earned the right to be heard until he himself runs the mob's initiation gauntlet. Oliver agrees, taking a heavy beating, and eventually having to drag himself to the end of the line. While successful, he is badly hurt. When asked what he wants, Oliver explains that it's only a matter of time before the police follow the same trail he did to find Hacker and the police will have to act because of the public. With the pressure on, a desperate Hacker reveals that he contracted AIDS as a result of his rape, which he felt justified the murder of homosexuals. Whale then rips Hacker's' arm apart and beats him to death. Afterwards, Whale allows Oliver to leave. Afterwards, Whale is attacked in his mansion by a man in black, calling himself Leviathan. Leviathan is enraged since Green Arrow almost died during his initiation and intimidates Whale into staying away from him. In flashbacks, as a result of the bridges blowing up, the government has declared Starling off-limits from the mainland, allowing criminals to gain numerous territories of the city whilst Hilton and the remaining SCPD officers gather refugees into the precinct for safety. With Starling running low on supplies, Oliver and  Hilton work together to rid the city of crime. Scarecrow and his followers steal most of the SCPD's food and medicine, forcing Oliver to have Queen Enterprises illegally fly supplies into the city only for the helicopter importing them to be gunned down to Oliver and Hilton's horror.

It turns out Ivy's powers have grown, allowing her to control plant-life, which she feeds the corpses of anyone who enters her territory – the park. Despite this, Oliver convinces her to save Shado and reluctantly frees her in the process; she gives Oliver a seed that will repair Shado's spine, but will also "change" her forever. Shado ingests the seed and regains the ability to walk, but also gains canary-like qualities. In the present day, Green Arrow recruits Walter Jr. and Rene Ramirez and begins trying to teach them teamwork by making them try to beat him to ring the bell. Things are difficult since Rene is cocky and Walter Jr. has no experience whatsoever which concerns Steele. While working in his own pawn shop, Malcolm Streaker buys a clearly stolen woman's handbag from a meth-addict. His next customer to walk into the shop is Adrian Chase, who requests police radios. Although Streaker is initially suspicious that a district attorney would ask for them, he relents and offers the radios to him, admitting that they were stolen from the Star City Police Department. Chase then demands the shells to Streaker's shotgun which Streaker agrees to before Chase took the items and began leaving. Seeking to make a better deal, Streaker offers Chase some child pornography, at which point a disgusted Chase locked the door of the shop. Believing he is going to make a sale Streaker laughed, but his smile soon faded as Chase silently finishes his coffee and grabs a baseball bat. Despite Streaker trying to reason with Chase, the Vigilante would not listen and instead used the bat to beat Streaker to death, crushing his skull. Oliver wishes to recruit Adrian Chase to his team, however, Chase is not interested and has his sights set on a man named Leonard Palmer, who has no relation to Ray Palmer the businessman, a man who Chase convicted of assault, rape and murder of a crime that Mr. Palmer claims he didn't commit.  When Mr. Palmer is released from prison Vigilante believes it was due to a technicality so he goes and beats Mr. Palmer in front of his wife and mother without mercy until Oliver arrives to subdue him. Oliver later tells Chase that Palmer was actually innocent of the crime and that it was not a technicality. Chase contemplates giving up being Vigilante, however, Oliver recruits him into his new team and wants Chase to follow his orders, which Chase accepts desperate to avoid making the same mistake again. Oliver later on reveals his identity to the team as a sign of trust.
 * 3) "Duty of the Huntress"- Mia does research into Merlyn Corp and discovers she has shares in the company left to her by Malcolm in his will. She then reaches out to Walter Steele, who was equally saddened to learn of and begins looking into running Queen Enterprises.

Whale blames Green Arrow for the murders of his people. Mia learns that the attacker is Briana Bedlam, who is trying to atone for her parents' sins and admits her regrets to having not done anything about their mafia activities. Briana and Mia are abducted by Bedlam's former associate Number One, who decides to tell Briana a story about her parents and how they came to be. During Damian Bedlam's career in Edward Rasmus' mob, his most loyal enforcer and friend was Number 1, who defended and protected Damian wherever he went, according to Damian. Number 1 was always busy trying to accommodate his friend even in little things such as straightening the mirror or polishing the door handle on Damian's Car. Briana's mother Tiffany was a fashion model for Vogue and an extremely vain young woman whose lavish apartment was adorned with several self-portraits, and she could often be spotted with several shopping bags from various high-class boutiques. While Tiffany felt no remorse about being an ally of murderous gangsters, she did have a tender side. She truly loved Damian and warned him to be careful to never let Rasmus learn of their infidelity, because then he would have Damian assassinated out of jealousy since she was his mistress at the time. She was impressed by the fact that Damian never worried about this. A corrupt detective named Frank McDonald, who has a distaste for Bedlam, informs Rasmus that Bedlam has been having an affair. Enraged by this, Rasmus sends Bedlam and his men to Janus Cosmetics to seize evidence of their corruption before Hilton could. Unknown to Bedlam however, Rasmus already did have the evidence removed and has assigned Det. McDonald to lead the police force with a shoot to kill order on all the thugs. Unknown to Rasmus, Bedlam anticipated this and confronts Rasmus in his penthouse in his Death Dealer mask. Rasmus, fearing for his life, offers Bedlam a deal only for Bedlam to gun him down while Rasmus is ordering him to take the mask off due to being disturbed by this. Bedlam then takes over Rasmus' criminal empire. In the present day, Number 1 explains that Bedlam has a hidden safe with all of Rasmus' wealth in it and needs Briana's blood to open the safe. Oliver arrives as Green Arrow to subdue all of the thugs with assistance from Mia and Briana, who both get free. Briana is tempted to kill Number 1, however, Mia talks her out of it. Later on, Briana reveals to Mia that she has felt guilty due to her parents' role in the death of Agent Asselah which is why she was secretly buying groceries for them and leaving it at their front porch as well as pulling strings to have Asselah's wife get a promotion at work and setting up a blind trust fund for Asselah's son that he will access to when he turns 18. Mia and Briana later on enjoy watching Warner Bros' Quest for Camelot movie.
 * 4) "Hawk and Dove"- -Mia and Briana are assigned by Oliver to investigate the appearance of two vigilantes named Hawk and Dove, who have been assaulting sex offenders and forcing them to confess their crimes to the police to get arrested. Mia and Briana, in the meantime, decide to go on a double date with Hank Hall and his half-brother Don with Mia dating Don and Briana dating Hank. Unknown to Mia and Briana, Hank and Don are the new vigilantes, who are also unaware of their dates' alter-egos.

He denies the accusations and, due to having a very good lawyers, and is released on the same day. The following night, on their very first operation, Hawk and Dove, beat him up in order to force him to confess his crimes and record all of it with a camera.

Mia, Don, and Briana enlist help from Green Arrow yet again. Green Arrow saves Hank while exposing his merciless tendencies, disturbing Mia. Green Arrow warns Mia to stay away from Hank, Briana, and Don believing them to be amateur teenagers out of control, however, she refuses. Hank tells Briana of of Coach Vincent molesting him as a child which is why Briana confronts him, demanding he turns himself in. Vincent refuses and holds Briana at gunpoint. Hank then arrives and proceeds to beat Vincent who pleads that he'd changed over the years, Briana then finds explicit pictures of underage children on Vincent's laptop. Hank then proceeds to beat Vincent to death. In flashbacks, Hank was born around 1989 in Washington, D.C. and raised, alongside his half-brother Don Hall, by a single mother. His biological father was never involved in his life. Despite living in a poor district, the Hall brothers were pushed academically to gain a scholarship that offered them the chance to attend a prestigious private school where, in 1999, Hank became a top star for the school football team, The Hawks. After a game, Hank exited the locker room and saw his little brother, Don, with his coach, Vincent. Oddly persistent, Coach Vincent offered Don a chance to be "shown" the weight room. Hank who didn't feel comfortable with the situation, did everything he could to get he and his younger brother away from Vincent, but to no avail. Even swearing after becoming frustrated, Coach Vincent took it as the opportunity to threaten to blackmail them and to have their scholarships taken away. Due to his own history with Coach Vincent, Hank knew that he intended to sexually abuse his brother. Hank offered to take his place and proceeded to be molested by his coach after having sent Don away. Sometime after that, their mother developed cancer and passed since she could not afford the proper medical attention. He eventually graduated and made it to college. While at school, Hank played as a quarterback and suffered numerous head injuries, including a recent one during a football game. While at a frat party to celebrate his team's victory, he was approached by Don, who was concerned, and although he insisted that he was fine, he suddenly collapsed and was taken to see a doctor. The doctor advised him to take time to recover with the addition of painkillers, but he refused and claimed that he was determined to finish the season. Eventually, Hank learned that Don had enlightened the coach of his current condition, thus suspending him from participating in upcoming competitions. Enraged, Hank confronted his brother the school library, eventually starting a fight with another student. Summoned to the Principal's office, Hank was asked to write a formal apology, seeing that there was evidence that he engaged the fight, but more so because he was one of the school's best players. Don, outraged that Hank's injuries are so simply overlooked, sternly suggested to have the both of them expelled. Hank, however, was unopposed to his brother's speech even after initially wanting to still play games. Using football as an outlet to release his anger, Don began to feel guilty for the time he had to sacrifice himself in the locker room. However, Hank lied, promising that nothing happened. Suggesting a different method for taking out his anger, Don proposed the idea to penalize the sexual offenders in their neighborhood. Disgusted by the fact that there were so many unpunished offenders in his neighborhood, Hank accepted.
