Episodes Edit

 * 1) "Inmate 1941"- Five Months after falsely confessing to being involved in Malcolm Merlyn's attack against the Glades, Oliver tries to maintain a low profile in prison in hopes of getting a reduction to his term, which is complicated because of the inmates and a prison guard named Peter Yorkie. Roger Goldman, a convicted and racist serial killer who assassinated the vice-president, torments Steven Mandragora by insulting his albinism. During one angry attack, Mandragora punches the wall, breaking his own arm, but still strangling the inmate. Oliver alerts Officer Dunbar about it and Dunbar tries to stop Mandragora only to be too late and Goldman is dead. Mandragora then becomes vengeful towards Oliver after learning the federal judge denied his parole because of him killing Goldman and vows to make him pay. Mandragora and his thugs attack Oliver when he is taking a shower only for Oliver to fight them off. Oliver is later sent to solitary confinement for beating Yorkie up when Yorkie insults Mia by believing that she should have died rather than the people of the Glades. Diggle has been reassigned from the SCPD to traffic duty; Steele is now running Queen Enterprises; Mia and Eddie are trying to cope with Oliver gone. During a shift, Diggle arrests a man calling himself "Pardon the Soul Reaper" (David Fierro) when he wreaks havoc. Chief Loeb fires Diggle for punishing an officer for showing up late to work. Pardon is transferred to Arkham and a blue gas spills from his mouth, which makes everyone in the room unconscious. A woman and her guards appear in Arkham, kills the guards and subdues Carrie Cuttler, Lonnie Machin, Aaron Lingering (Stink Fisher), Thomas Greenwood (Dustin Ybarra), George Dyke, and Arnold Dobbins (Will Brill). The woman, Isabel Rochev, brings them to her cousin Slade Wilson  (Joe  Manganellio). Wilson plans on using them as a group to wreak havoc in Starling in a yet-unknown plan. Dyke refuses the offer and tries to leave with Carrie, but Isabel kills him. Diggle learns of the breakout at Arkham Asylum. In flashbacks, Robert and Walter call a meeting with the Queen Enterprises Board of Directors, whom Robert threatens with disseminating his alleged evidence pertaining to the cabal in charge behind the scenes, unless they contact him. The cabal sends an enforcer to kidnap Robert.
 * 2) "Anarchy"- Having kidnapped Mayor Hamilton Hill and locked him with a metal box, Wilson makes him call his secretary and tell her that he ran away. Meanwhile, on the rooftops of the editorial Starling Gazette building, Machin and many other group members kill a number of people and drop them from the rooftop so their corpses can form the word of their group: "Maniax!". In the SCPD, Rojas gives orders to arrest the Maniax with Roy leading the investigation. In Slabside, Oliver and Stanley Dover team up to get rid of Yorkie in exchange for information on who ordered Oliver to be killed in the showers. Yorkie started to get on every inmates' nerves, to the point that they wanted him out of the prison; dead or fired. Oliver tries to warn Yorkie about Mandragora wanting him dead only for Yorkie to ignore it, dismissing Oliver as a spoiled brat. At some point, Peter met and married a woman named Jenna, and they have a son, named Noah. Tensions begin to arise between Machin and Thomas Greenwood about the leadership of The Maniax. The Maniax hijack a bus filled with cheerleaders, planning to burn it down. The police arrives and when Machin escapes, Dobbins (Will Brill) turns on the fire but Roy manages to drive the bus away from the fire. He then arrests Dobbins and upon questioning him about who hired them, Isabel kills Dobbins with a rifle in distance. Oliver and Dover do research on Yorkie to discover he was born on January 1, 1978, at the age 19, he joins the army serves 8 years in the military, after being injured in line of duty, he started working at Slabside Maximum Security Prison, he has been working there for 12 years, although Peter has a clean record as a prison guard, he is not well-liked by the other inmates; due to how badly he treats them. In the SCPD, Roy gets a call from Carrie, who turns out to be in the building. Roy follows her to an alley but is attacked by Lingering (Stink Fisher) and is then taunted by Carrie about something happening in the SCPD. In the SCPD. Machin begins taunting Rojas while tied up, killing Greenwood for saying his lines. Machin returns to the SCPD and discovers the massacre. He then finds Rojas bleeding and stays with him when he dies. Diggle decides that he needs to get back into the SCPD and goes to Steele and Fyers for help since he feels that Loeb is dirty but cannot prove it. Oliver takes matters into his own hands, where he angers Yorkie by mentioning the names of his wife and son and stabbing himself. Oliver starts to blame Yorkie for it prompting Dunbar and the other guards to drag Yorkie away despite Yorkie denying it. Yorkie's negative traits made it easy for his co-workers to believe he tried to kill Oliver, especially due to several complaints made about him by the other inmates. In flashbacks, Robert is brought by Talon to the council's room, meeting the White-Haired Woman (Leslie Hendrix), a woman named Maria. Robert instantly recognizes her as the owner of a luxurious hotel chain. Maria begins to state that their organization controls Queen Enterprises but Robert threatens to reveal to the federal government their involvement and their exposure to the world if he dies. Maria is not afraid of the comments and in order to live, she tells him that he needs to stop investigating the council. He agrees and is then sedated by Talon.
 * 3) "A New Arrow"- Oliver demands that Mandragora honor their deal for getting rid of Yorkie and Mandragora says an inmate known as "The Red Claw" ordered the attack. Mandragora claims to arrange a meet with the Red Claw but Oliver is instead ambushed. After defeating Mandragora's hired men, Mandragora reveals the Red Claw is incarcerated on Level Two where Basil Karloff is, prompting Oliver to attack a guard to get transferred there. Meanwhile, a vigilante dressed as The Hood (Now renamed Arrow) appears on the scene, dismantling Frederick Thorne's  operations and targeting other criminals on his list. Diggle does not trust the new vigilante unlike Steele as well as Fyers and Chief Loeb is determined to arrest him. Steele and Fyers reluctantly agree to help Diggle and make him a suit and helmet which is why Diggle starts calling himself Guardian. When the vigilante is dismantling Tuckman's operation, Guardian helps him by killing some of Tuckman's men and taking money from Tuckman to help the city's poor. Later on, Diggle admits to Steele and Fyers that he should learn to judge someone by the results of their actions rather than just what they are. In flashbacks, Oliver, Eddie, and Moira return to Queen Manor with Robert promising Moira to give his investigation out of concern for those closest to him. Oliver's doppelganger breaks into Queen Manor when Robert and Moira are in bed and Oliver is studying. The doppelganger then asks Oliver for help.
 * 4) "Everyone Has A Secret"- Diggle tells Eddie that Loeb has leverage to blackmail most officers. Investigating a triad bookmaking office and interrogating Loeb's former partner, Diggle learns that Loeb has ties with Tuckman. With Zytle's help, Diggle and Fyers investigate Loeb's uptown farm, where they find the latter's psychotic daughter Miriam.During her life, Miriam Loeb killed her mother by smashing the back of her skull in with a candle stick. This was because she believed her mother 'robbed' her of her chance to perform. Her father covered up his wife's death as an accident and had Miriam living in the attic of a farm house owned by him, with an elderly couple named Jude and Marge to look after her. In doing so, Miriam would not be imprisoned or put into a mental asylum, as she had no contact with the outside world. During her time alone, she made a necklace out of the bones of the birds that landed near her window which she killed. Diggle uses the bone necklace as proof of Miriam's insanity to blackmail Loeb into reinstating him and into resigning. Loeb agrees to it in order to protect his daughter and prevent her from being sent to Arkham Asylum. In prison, Oliver is tortured both psychologically and with the use of drugs and other electrical devices by Dr. Jarrett Parker, with the intent of "reprogramming" his brain. Oliver has confessed to Parker of being the Hood and Parker tries to make Oliver give up his vigilantism through many unethical methods. Parker eventually succeeds and Oliver declares himself to be his inmate name. In flashbacks, Oliver takes in his doppelganger, Subject 614A a.k.a. "Six", who demonstrates impressive fighting skills and an imperiousness to pain. Eddie wants to throw Six back into the streets only for Oliver to refuse. Oliver even orders Eddie to not tell his parents anything and Eddie reluctantly complies to it. Six later impersonates Oliver and accompanies an oblivious Robert and Moira out on the town.
 * 5) "Level Two"- After having seemingly been broken, Oliver is introduced to Level Two, a secret facility below Slabside, where inmates are kept in inhuman conditions and mostly experimented on. He discovers that Nyssa Al Ghul is Red Claw. After making love with Nyssa, Oliver reluctantly teams up with her to plan an escape, however, he decides not to escape himself to avoid having to spend the rest of his life as a fugitive. After collecting evidence of what happened in Level Two, he asks Nyssa to take it to John Diggle, which she does, thus causing the facility to be shut down and Bruce transferred back to Level One. Parker is fired from the prison and when Parker is getting ready to leave, he is killed by the vengeful Nyssa with a bow and arrow. In flashbacks, Oliver and Eddie find that the car was towed in the Glades, deducing that Six is with his parents watching a movie. Robert  and Moira are nearly mugged by Matches Malone only for Six to use his strength to take him down. When they see Six's scars, they discover his identity.

Dinah, who is revealed to be working for the District Attorney's office, attempts to plead for Oliver's release by using the treatments administered for Parker only for it to be denied.

Lucas Jr. tells Oliver that he made his purpose in life to be his worthy opponent. Oliver tries to threaten Lucas Jr. only for him to remind Oliver that there are innocent people that he could kill if he tries anything. Oliver tells Lucas Jr. that he is going to die instead of getting locked up, however, Lucas Jr. tries to push Oliver to the brink by telling him after he's done with him, he will get Eddie and Mia.
