The Emerald Archer Season Five is the fifth season of The Emerald Archer Season Five. It deals with Oliver continuing to protect Star City with Mia and Felicity while Eddie  is in England, John is with the NYPD, and Laurel  now working as a lawyer for Justin Claybourne. Oliver defeating Ra's has inspired a new crop of masked heroes to step up and defend the city, however, their painful inexperience makes them obstacles, rather than allies, in the field. Divers accidentally stumble about a new serial killer's underwater burial ground, discovering the many bags containing the body parts of his victims. Realizing this dumping ground is the work of a serial killer, the media dubs these bodies the work of the "Star City Butcher". When it's revealed that each victim was a criminal and killer, some members of the public openly support the Star City Butcher while considering the Green Arrow and his team to be a disgrace. To oversee the investigation of the Butcher's crimes, an FBI special team is assigned to Star City, led by FBI Deputy Director Victor Sage. Working with SCPD, Victor Sage  brings in Angel Rojas, John Diggle, and several other SCPD  members to join his task force. However, Sage at first dislikes the Green Arrow before fully trusting him.
