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.
 * 2) "Green Arrow & The Outsiders"- -In flashbacks, Oliver hunts down the Witch, who turns out to be Ivy, who has been captured by crooks after the loss of her sample from the Lazarus Pit. 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. At Queen Enterprises, Steele is almost shot by a mysterious assailant who was attempting to assassinate Whale's associate.Oliver attempts to infiltrate Whale's business to discover the identity of the attacker. 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. Red Arrow and Huntress decide to meet Hawk and Dove by targeting Dwayne Wainwright, who has been arrested last year by the S.C.P.D. for uploading pornographic pictures of a ten-years-old in a local coffee shop. 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. Red Arrow and Huntress meet Hawk and Dove, and everyone discovers each other's identities while Wainwright escapes. Hank and Don reveal that Wainwright is part of a group of serial rapists called the Fish in a Barrels gang that they have been trying to catch that are led by Garrett Sanford, a well-renowned motivational speaker. Sanford catches Hank and makes plans for him and his gang (Lester Buchinsky, Dwayne Wainwright, Humprey Dumpler, and Lyle Bolton) to torture him. 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.

After Oliver injures Leviathan, Wally and Leonard Snart capture Godspeed as the team retreats.

J'onzz later foils an assassination attempt on Silver by the Owl Man, and the pair fall in love. Leviathan later on kills Ultra-Man with a knife made out of kryptonite to take control of the Crime Syndicate. Leviathan has developed a weapon, the Quantum Instigate Device or Q.I.D., which the Syndicate intend to use as the equalizer to the threat of a nuclear reprisal. Leviathan admits to his lover Ultra-Girl the weapon can destroy entire worlds. Believing there are many parallel Earths, and that each one develops from the choices that each person makes, Leviathan becomes obsessed with the idea that nothing he does can possibly matter, as there will always be parallel worlds where he explored another option. As a result, he searches for Earth-Prime, the very first Earth from which all other universes originated, intending to use the Q.I.D. to destroy it and spark a chain reaction that will erase the entire multiverse, as it is the only action that would not result in the creation of another universe. Ultra-Girl agrees to help him, as it would give her the power to kill everyone who's ever lived. Leviathan sends Ultra-Girl with three of her lieutenants to the D.E.O. One of her lieutenants escape with the Quantum Trigger, but are followed by Alex.

Wally volunteers but Oliver states that he isn't fast enough, only Barry is. Barry agrees and opens a portal. Green Arrow pursues Dark Arrow to Earth-Prime and engages in a brutal battle with his doppelganger. Green Arrow manages to kill his doppelganger by breaking his neck and sends the Q.E.D. device to another uninhabited Earth, and triggers the Q.E.D. Green Arrow returns to the Syndicate's Earth, where the strain of acting as a vibratory conduit has aged Barry to near death. Before dying, Barry correctly deduces in anger that Oliver lied about Wally not being fast enough and knew what would happen. Martian Manhunter returns, accompanied by President Galvan  and the U.S. Marines, and together they arrest Ultra-Girl and Hal Jordan.

There was a woman named Tara Grant who was a mother of two children and a wife. She lived in a nice suburb of Starling.

Sir Eddie meets with his former fiancee, Joanna. He gives her the roses and they both strike up a conversation. They both reminisce about being in "Romeo and Juliet" as the titular characters, although now she plays Juliet's mother. She invites him to dinner to meet her son Derek and informs him that her husband Johnny, who she left Eddie for many years ago because she was having an affair with him, passed away a year after their marriage. Mia and Briana track Eddie to London, England. Mia and Briana ask around at the hotel for Eddie. The hotel clerk says he checked out, but the bellhop offers a tip to his whereabouts if his palms are greased. Actually the bellhop is an informant for Eddie who eventually gives Mia and Briana bad information to throw him off Eddie's trail. Eddie meets Derek and Joanna asks Eddie  to help him with a gambling debt to a casino. Eddie is reluctant to give Derek the money and Derek storms out of the apartment. Joanna, worried that the casino creditors might hurt Derek, tells Eddie that Derek is his son.

As Eddie leaves, the Duke of Midian walks into Hopkins office.Mia and Briana greet Eddie back in his hotel room. Mia gives Eddie the bad news of Oliver now isolating himself in the Arrowcave out of guilt for killing Charlie Fields. They embrace and Eddie lets Mia and Briana in on the situation with Derek and asks for his help. The trio decide to "bug" Derek's meeting with Hopkins at the casino. Hopkins tells Derek that the debt is paid off, so long as he switches some computer tapes in Derek's workplace at the Department of Transportation. The Duke of Midian calls Hoskins and invites him to dinner the following night in his castle at Kent. Along with some high ranking military leaders of the British Government, the Duke plans to send a convoy rigged with high explosives into the English Channel heading for France. The plan would kill hundreds of people within the tunnel and result in catastrophic economic disaster for England.

Red Arrow and Huntress are able to send the truck off the cliffs before it reaches the channel tunnel. Eddie and Derek take out Hopkins and the Duke, but not before the Duke mortally wounds Derek. A grief struck Joanna admits to Eddie that Derek is not his son. She just told him that so Eddie would help him. Shocked at this deception, Eddie simply walks away heartbroken. Eddie finds content with the feeling the Oliver and Mia are his "children", and that being with them, "people whose emotions serve their reasons", is reason enough for him to return to Star City and to Queen Manor. Back in the United States, Oliver continues to isolate himself in the Arrow-Cave. The only public appearances he make are as mayor where he disavows Green Arrow as a cop-killer despite Adrian wanting to cover up the circumstances regarding Detective Fields' death.

 * 14) "Girl's Night Out"- A prison truck from National City is entering Star City. The prisoner is Livewire, on her way to experimental treatments at Queen Enterprises that may succeed in returning her to normal. However, the truck drives past a recent road accident, where a power cable has fallen to the ground. The truck passes close enough to let Livewire absorb its power and escape. Mia is driving the Arrowcar, searching the city for Livewire while Eddie returns to Queen Manor to try to bring Oliver back into the light. However, Oliver is still angry at Eddie for abandoning him. Mia assumes Livewire is already heading back to Metropolis... until she spots Livewire skimming along some power cables. Livewire spots Red Arrow and immediately lands on the Arrowcar's hood, sending a current through the body that shocks Mia. Kara learns from her friend and tech support Winn Schott Jr. that Livewire escaped which is why she immediately dons her Supergirl outfit and flies to Star City. Mia manages to escape the Arrowcar by ejecting, landing safely in Star City Park. Livewire lands in the park and begins tossing electric blasts, but all Red Arrow can do is dodge acrobatically. Livewire finally nails her with one and is about to shock her to death when Supergirl appears, grabs Red Arrow and flies off. But another blast from Livewire drops them both out of the sky. Livewire is about to kill both of them, but then her power runs down, and disappears. "Welcome to Star City", Mia says, by way of greeting. As the SCPD mobilizes to capture Livewire, Diggle reproaches the girls for letting her get away. He tells the two "amateurs" to stay out of the SCPD's way. Supergirl fumes, but Mia encourages her that together they are more than a match for Livewire. In a defunct zoo garden, Poison Ivy and Cupid are sharing a hideout. Carrie is itching to get out and have some fun, but Ivy says they can't draw Green Arrow's attention until they have "an edge". Then Livewire appears out of their toaster and proclaims "Ladies, meet your edge!" The new villainess team goes to a closed shopping mall to loot the cash machines and raid the stores. Mia and Supergirl arrive and catch Livewire alone, managing to incapacitate her with a coating of electric-resistant silicate dust. However, Carrie and Ivy join in. Carrie knocks Red Arrow into an open elevator, while Ivy tosses plant spores that sprout vines powerful enough to give even Supergirl pause. Carrie washes the silicate off Livewire with a seltzer bottle, incapacitating her even worse by shorting out her powers. While Carrie helps Livewire to their getaway car, Supergirl finally frees herself of the vines. Ivy tosses another set at Mia, but Supergirl incinerates them with her heat vision – inadvertently releasing a poisonous cloud of pollen that forces Supergirl to grab Mia and fly her to safety, while the villainesses escape. To celebrate, Carrie  drags Ivy and Livewire to the Iceberg Lounge, but Livewire can't sit at any tables near so much water. As they argue over table choice, Count Vertigo appears and tries to cease the commotion. When Livewire backtalks and calls him "Lard Butt" he orders them to leave. Smiling, the girls suddenly fuse into a close-knit team and start wreaking havoc, leaving his lounge smothered in tree-sized vines and thorns. Later, Mia and Supergirl approach a frazzled Vertigo at the empty Lounge, while he is overseeing a team of hired arborists cutting through the growth. While at first reluctant, he mentions hearing rumors about where Ivy and Carrie's hideout is...They enter the zoo, Mia carrying a tank of silicate to incapacitate Livewire, but Ivy's plant-based warning system tips off the villainesses, and Ivy quickly relieves Mia of the tank. Comically, Carrie knocks herself out by firing her spring-loaded boxing glove at Supergirl from behind – where it bounces harmlessly off Kara's head, shoots back and hits Carrie. Ivy wrestles Supergirl to the ground with her plants, while Livewire attacks Mia. Mia shields herself from the electric blasts with a garbage pail lid. Vexed, Livewire fires a souped-up blast, which ends up setting Ivy's plants on fire. Desperate to save her "babies", Ivy releases Supergirl and climbs to a water tower, releasing a stream of water that puts out the fire, but shocks Livewire unconscious. A stray electrical blast catches Ivy, knocking her out. Later, at Mia's apartment, the two superheroines have treated themselves to a makeover and a pint of ice cream each, as they watch coverage of their success on the news. When interviewed, Diggle admits that the two "rookies" responsible for capturing the three super-villainesses "show some potential".

Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby help incinerate the vampires. Oliver awakens from this to see that he was just having a huge hallucination caused by venom in Black Siren's bite and Oliver never became a vampire. Oliver, still shaken from the dream, decides to appoint Diggle to be the new Green Arrow feeling that he that he is no longer fit to be a vigilante, which Diggle accepts. In flashbacks, Fugate goes on the run after Hilton discovers that he blew up Haven, leading to a citywide manhunt.

She forces compliance by threatening to detonate nano-bombs implanted in their necks. Draco, who believes it's a bluff, walks out on Waller and is killed as an example to the others. The five are sent to Star City, where Vertigo has been hired by Waller to give them arms, equipment, and a place to stay, although he is angry with Waller and Drakkon for tossing his cigarettes in the harbor for a laugh.

To get to Arkham, Carrie breaks into a doll store and begins trashing it until she is caught by Diggle, as Green Arrow, and sent back to Arkham. At Arkham, John Doe harasses Carrie and  ends up lashing out by attempting to shoot him with a stolen gun, only to fail in doing so due to Doe's bulletproof prison cell. This distraction allows the others to infiltrate Arkham in disguises. Joseph causes an explosion, putting the asylum on Yellow Alert; Lamden suggests playing the previous day's footage to keep both Green Arrow and Waller from noticing them. Despite some in-fighting, the team manages to get to the storage room, where they find Carrie's mallet and Nygma's cane, however they find the latter empty. Oliver then arrives as Green Arrow due to noticing that the footage showed employees who had that day off, fighting the squad until Joseph pins him during an explosion; Joseph later emerges with Green Arrow's belt as his trophy. However, they then notice Caitlin is missing.

Carrie, Deadshot, Boomerang and Frost survive, but King Shark's head explodes due to his thick skin blocking the electricity; oddly so does Green Arrow's before Drakkon can shoot him. Nygma begins laughing as the squad hasn't figured out that "Joseph Galavan" is Green Arrow; revealing himself, Green Arrow demands to know why the squad is in Arkham, only for Constantine Drakkon to arrive and start shooting at everyone. Carrie manages to sweet-talk Constantine Drakkon into siding with her, and Deadshot manages to "out-crazy" Drakkon to scare him away.

Constantine Drakkon, watching from above, decides to stage his own tribute to that fateful day, entering the scene, dosing Ryder and his crew with the laughing gas used to make Jeremiah Kalevala insane while Lockwood is able to escape, and then "re-enacting" his confrontation with Oliver by tipping Ryder into another large vat of chemicals. Oliver, having glimpsed Drakkon on the television, is quick to arrive at the plant with Mia. While Drakkon's henchmen keep them busy, Drakkon occupies himself with pushing the hapless Ryder back into the chemical soup every time he tries to climb out. For his finale, Drakkon gives Ryder an exploding cigar causing the chemicals to explode. Drakkon  then fights Red Arrow, knocking her into the plant's controls causing the tank to flush into the nearby sewer, forcing Green Arrow to try and save Ryder while Drakkon escapes. Ryder's burning coat is seen dissolving into the chemicals and he is presumed dead. However, Ryder survived and had a bizarre reaction to the combination of Drakkon gas and the chemicals: He transformed into an extraordinarily strong and agile maniac with yellow skin, green hair, and a rictus grin.

Green Arrow cuffs Joker and injects the Creeper with a sedative. Back at Ryder's apartment, Green Arrow  applies an antidote skin patch that returns Ryder to his normal state. Before leaving him to rest, Green Arrow warns him that the patch must be left on to counteract the chemicals and assures him that his career isn't entirely lost. After they leave, Ryder examines the skin patch curiously, finding it hard to believe that a "little piece of cotton" can make such a big difference. Outside his apartment, there is a small sound of tearing fabric, and soon the Creeper's demented laughter is pealing from the window.
