Despite this, Oliver has found comfort in his ally Sean Carbone, new friend Bilal Asselah, a computer scientist from Paris, France, who is a part of the agency and does seem to have respect for Mister Minos, the director of the group. In Star City, all the members of Team Arrow  have retired except for Tommy, Laurel, Lance, and Diggle. Tommy would continue to moonlight as Green Arrow with Laurel assisting him on the field and with Diggle as his eyes and ears. While on patrol, Tommy gets attacked by a mysterious individual known as Goldface, a human-sized super creature. Goldface continues to attack Tommy pinning him and throwing him against the wall. Clearly injured, Tommy grabs his side and Goldface slams him against the wall nearly killing him. Goldface then flies off, before Tommy tells the team that they have a problem. At Queen Enterprises, Lance is still the vice-president but struggling to prevent Freddy Dreyfus from taking over the company. Dreyfus deems Lance as unworthy due to the fact he was in league with Damian Bedlam and that a successor has to be named. A scientist named Keith Kenyon walks into his lab and begins shaking. Another one of his lab partners Dr. Pershing asks if he is okay, but Keith continues to talk frantically about his super serum. Dr. Pershing and a few other scientists walk up to him slowly. Keith then attacks them as he reveals his mutated gold hand and brutally murders every scientist. He then steals the vial of his serum and destroys the camera. In the meantime, Oliver and Carbone are assigned by Spyral to go to Africa to take down a drug kingpin which Oliver agrees to do. Lance tells Nudocerdo and the SCPD about Keith killing everyone with enhanced speed and strength. Lance contacts Walter Jr, who is on an island with Anatoli, and Walter Jr. tells him that Keith wanted a vaccine by using the immune system of a gold mineral in order to help others and Lance concludes that Kenyon tested it on himself. Goldface morphs back into his normal self and various voices in his head urge him to kill Malcolm Merlyn which is why he decides to attack the Merlyn Global Group where Malcolm is there working late. Malcolm is nearly killed until Tommy and his team rescues him and Tommy tells his father to flee. Goldface almost kills Tommy until Malcolm uses a sonic weapon to weaken him and Laurel then injects an antidote into Kenyon turning him normal. Kenyon is then taken back to ARGUS to be monitored by Diggle until he can return to the public with Kenyon being ashamed of his actions. Malcolm and Tommy argue with Tommy almost being killed. Malcolm wants to take up the mantle as Green Arrow only for Tommy to refuse and leave after punching his father in the face when Malcolm tries to stop him. In Africa, Oliver and his squad track down the kingpin who orchestrates a shootout. Oliver manages to save a few civilians but not before Carbone gets shot. In retaliation, Oliver shoots the drug dealer as Spyral destroy his drug shipments.

Malcolm is hesitant to allow his former father figure back into his life, however, he reluctantly complies when Sensei needs his help to destroy Kitsune, a weapon that the Yakuza, are bringing to Star City. Tommy becomes furious at his father for attempting to steal his chance to honor Oliver and becomes enraged when Malcolm reveals that Oliver "was" Tommy's half-brother due to him having an affair with Moira before she was murdered. Team Arrow goes with Sensei and Malcolm to destroy Kitsune only to be shocked to discover that Kitsune is a young boy. Sensei then betrays everyone by killing Kitsune. Malcolm fights the Sensei and then defeats him. Malcolm hesitates to kill him at the last moment and forces him to leave Star City and to never return. Malcolm later visits Tommy in the Arrowcave admitting that because Sensei abandoned him, Malcolm felt paranoid about losing Tommy which is why he parented the way he always did, especially after losing his wife and Tommy's mother Charlotte. Malcolm promises Tommy to become a better man and he reluctantly agrees to it after some influence from Laurel, who points out that Malcolm does love him as well as Oliver since he used the Lazarus Pits to bring him back.

Fontana's death begins to give Blake closure. However, Adrian leaves telling Blake that he knew nothing about Fontana's murder and tells him that him being judge, jury, and executioner will not bring back his parents like killing Bedlam did not bring back his brother Dorian.

As Speedy, Mia then decides to stop her father from killing anyone else.

Tommy and the team theorizes that Mia has obtained skills from Cheshire. Mia doesn't remember anything about the time she was dead and has no memories of these combat skills as it is just muscle memory to her.

They become suspicious of a former priest named Deacon Blackfire since he lost his son in the mine, but find out he is innocent. Gabriel decides to prevent anyone from entering the mine, setting explosives inside and giving the trigger to Blackfire, who detonates it. Gabriel finds out that the person forcing the Coblynau is a Romani, the wife of a mine foreman who was recently killed. The woman summons the Coblynau to kill Green Arrow and Gabriel, who summons her husband, another Coblynau who kills her and frees them. The police find the woman's body in the pier and Nudocerdo rules this out as suicide since the woman has been known to have a brain tumor. Agent Blake suspects otherwise and believes that this is the work of a serial killer called the Trinity Killer, who has conducted murders in a cycle. As Blake and Avesta work together to investigate this matter, they are both gunned down by Dreyfus himself, who is revealed to be the killer. In flashbacks, Dreyfus was born in Tampa, Florida, and lived in a two-story blue house for most of his young life. He grew up just like any other boy would—that is, until one day in 1959. As a curious ten-year-old boy, he stood in the bathroom doorway, watching his sister take a shower only to be startled and slipped, shattering the shower doors. A shard of glass sliced her leg and she bled out in front of him.

Oliver reveals himself to be alive to the team and explains that he had to fake his own death or Director Lemack would continue to send the FBI after them like he sent Davis and that he has started working for a private organization called Spyral. Despite this, Oliver is surprised to see Mia alive and Mia is glad to see him. Oliver reluctantly allows the team to assist him at the Star City docks where the Secret Six are. The team finds evidence of a psychoactive agent being stored there. After finishing decryption of the drive, Oliver discovers evidence of Dreyfus' criminal organization, along with ties to the Mayor.

Oliver later faces a man from with a strangely dressed warrior and during the fight, he notices a strange tattoo of four fists interlocked with each other on the warrior’s body. Later Tommy is attacked at his safe house by the same warrior who attacked Oliver, with Tommy defeating them while noticing their tattoos but of a Sword and an arrow. Oliver later recognizes the symbols are from when he was with the League of Assassins. Causing him to ask for Nyssa al Ghul. Meeting in person, Nyssa is overjoyed to see Mia alive again. Shown the symbols, Nyssa explains that these symbols are members of a group who her father considered to be the eternal enemies of the League of Assassins: The Secret Six. Nyssa explains to Team Arrow what the Secret Six are but has to start by explaining how the League of Assassins's was formed: Three Thousand Years ago before the time of Christ, a band of warriors and survivors from a destroyed village banded to together seeking righteous vengeance against a prince of nearby land whose life they had saved and he returned their kindness by pillaging and destroying their home. After their vengeance was complete, the tribe remained together realizing how they had served as an instrument of justice by replacing evil with death. The League at first was a group that made its decisions by a small council of elite warriors but this changed after the League saw to the fall of the Roman Empire. The League's deadliest warriors explored distant lands and eventually found what would be called Bhutan. The team led by a skilled but elderly warrior eventually found the greatest secret of Bhutan: The Lazarus Pit. Using the Pit, the elderly warrior who used the water had his youth restored, using his renewed vitality he killed his team and sent word to the remaining members of the League to come to Nanda Part. The League astonished by his youth and fearing the warrior accepted his claim as the sole leader of the League of Assassins, the 1st Ra's al Ghul (The Demon's Head). But six highly skilled members of the League refused seeing that no organization as powerful as the League should be under the leadership of one man. Fleeing for their lives, they continued the League's old ways making collective decisions as a group becoming known as sira st ' (The Secret Six). The Secret Six's original members then formed clans each naming their clans after a specific weapon that they specialized in there is the Batterang Clan, The Fist Clan, The Sword Clan, The Axe Clan, The Shield Clan, and the Spear Clan; with each clan being led by a single Six member. The Secret Six were born from corruption to rid the world of humanities' corruption by target corrupt countries, cities, and organizations. Oliver believes that because of Star City's history of corruption is the reason why the Secret Six are in Star City targeting the members of his team. Nyssa admits that is possible but also believes that there is another possible alternative to their arrival. Nyssa mentions that her father once told her that the Secret Six were fascinated by the concept of life after death and the have extensively conducted various studies to explore the possibility. This makes the team believe that the Six are after Mia because who better to find out about the afterlife than someone who returned from the dead even though she states she has no memory of her time being dead. The team begins to discuss the possibility of life after death bringing up hopes of seeing loved ones again, having eternal peace. The Secret Six clans attack once again while Mia and Laurel are hanging out with Nyssa, the two fight members of the Axe Clan with Nyssa becoming injured, while on the run. Mia strangely uses techniques to slow down the blood loss and lessens the pain; something that both Nyssa, Laurel and herself didn't know she could no she could do. Eventually, the trio meet an Axe Clan's leader, The Butcher. The Butcher explains that his clansmen were never to sent to harm or kill Mia merely test her skills and those of her compatriots and wanted to ask if she remembers while she was dead; Mia replies that she doesn't, but the Butcher claims that eventually, she will. Mia sends Nyssa away from Star City as she needs her to look into the Secret Six even further. Mia later starts to have a flashback of a learning the pressure relieving techniques from a mysterious woman that she used on Nyssa but does not tell the team. In Flashforwards, everyone attends Mia and Roy's wedding but the mysterious Blight attacks the city. He defeats the team and reveals to Green Arrow that he's taking a stand in dealing with criminals because he's very ineffective in doing what is necessary.

Kodiak explains that the Secret Six have recruited vigilantes throughout history to their cause such as members of the Black Panther party or Cowboys of the Old West. They are also aware that that Oliver began as the Hood and Arrow before he later faked his alter-ego's death to adopt his current Green Arrow identity. Kodiak states that the Secret Six  greatly considered recruiting Oliver and those he inspired to their clans but that Bruce has proven inadequate because of unpredictability towards the justice system either because of his killing or non-killing of criminals.

 * 18) "Endowments"-  Recovering from their injuries, the team is shocked by the Secret Six and Anya's skills; Oliver in particular is particularly dishearten to learn that Tatsu is with them and is worried if she is following the same road as the late Maseo. As the team questions Mia about how she knows Anya, she reiterates that doesn't remember but does admit that she had a flashback of Volkova teaching her something so Volkova is telling the truth. Walter Jr. suggest that maybe Mia's memories can be useful to figure out want the Secret Six want. Laurel suggest that they do it with hypnosis. Revealing that Nyssa taught her how to perform hypnotherapy, Laurel has Mia relax and calms her down saying that the memories are there and she can remember them if she wants too. Through  Laurel's hypnosis, Mia describes her time while she was dead while the team listens on. ''Remembering her death at the hospital, then awakens in the hospital where she died but finds that no one is there as she begins wandering she eventually comes to realize that no one is around and remembers that she died. Eventually, Mia finds a strong light source and heads towards it before being engulfed by the same light. Mia finds herself surrounded by warriors each of them training in different methods and most of them are dressed in different attire from different eras including Roman Gladiators, Samurai, Medieval Knights, Ninjas, World War 1 soldiers, and even modern day troops. As Mia walks around looking at what she is seeing, Anya appears from behind to greet her which does not startle Mia who felt her following her a while ago. Mia asks where she is and Anya explains that they are in what the Norseman called Valhalla the afterlife of fallen warriors but it has many other names. Astounded by what she is seeing, Mia asks why warriors train here in the first place if they are dead and what the point is if they are already dead. Volkova then immediately strikes Mia and two spar quickly before Mia is swiftly beaten. Volkova calls her a capable novice and explains to Mia that warriors such as them need something to fight as their peace is in the heat of battle; Mia is surprised how she felt the pain that Anya inflicted on her as she explains that although Mia is dead she still has some form of connection to her physical body making pain possible but not death which is useful for training. Mia impressed by Anya asks her to train her which Volkova states that is why she is here. As Volkova trains Mia she explains that she is fully aware of her fighting style explaining that Mia was trained in the art of street fighting and training with Oliver and Roy, now teaching herself Judo. Mia surprised asks how she knows this, Anya states she has trained in martial arts her entire life and has picked up a talent for reading body language which how she knows where to block and evade Mia's attacks so easily. Anya claims this talent tells her that she knows exactly what Mia needs to improve on claiming that her knowledge of boxing is that of a pro but her other skills are adequate at best. Training Mia to improve in all her other areas, Volkova learns through Mia's sparing that she needs to be faster and more lethal during combat so Volkova teaches Mia her own unique style of combat mostly composed of Silat known for its speed and brutality; however, her training is so brutal with Mia being injured repeatedly and Anya using pressure relieving techniques so that Mia's pain can be lessened and can resume training again.Gradually during Mia's time in the afterlife, she spends her time training with Anya and defeating warriors, eating lavish foods, and bedding handsome warriors. Despite this Mia eventually starts missing her life and her family, Anya later informs her of some interesting facts about the afterlife. As Volkova walks out of the afterlife with Mia, she shows her where she started her journey in the afterlife in what the Greeks called the Asphodel Meadows and Christians call Limbo but is known to what is called by others as the Spirit World; a realm where all departed souls begin wandering before the finding or being brought to the section of the Afterlife that they most belong to and for Mia it is here she also explains to her the history of the Secret Six to her. During one of their training sessions, Mia explores the Spirit World but finds a mysterious zone with an enigmatic man named Magus tortured in the most unimaginable ways. Mia horrified by what she has seen; Magus realizes she is not like the rest of Anya's students and tells her that everything she knows about the afterlife is a lie. Magnus tells Mia that long ago he was a member of the Secret Six but came across an ancient artifact known only as "The Totem", the totem offered him and his allies enlightenment but Magus rightfully suspected that his allies would abuse the Totem's knowledge so he betrayed the Secret Six and left with the Totem eventually burying the totem before he died. However, the Six who had long mastered death and the afterlife created what they call "Valhalla" as a recruitment center to find, train, and learn from the greatest warriors who died have been sending the Leaders of the Secret Six to break him as although he is dead he still feels pain in this realm. Magus admits that after decades of torture he is about to break he asks Mia that upon her revival that she finds the Totem and destroys it if she can before revealing its location to her. Mia asks how he knows she will be revived and why she must destroy the totem before she is resurrected by Cheshire. Oliver'' is later contacted by Tatsu and goes to meet her with Natasha. Tatsu greets Oliver but he asks her why she is with the Secret Six. Tatsu explains that after she gave the Lotus to Nyssa which she used to cure Mia of the Lazarus Pit's bloodlust she was expelled from the Crescent Order as her duty was to protect it. Eventually, Tatsu was found by the Secret Six more specifically the Sword Clan because they took notice of her skills as a samurai. Joining their ranks, Tatsu improved her sword fighting skills even further and eventually challenged the former Leader of the Sword Clan. Tatsu explains that leadership of one of the Secret Six's clan is earned through combat which all leaders must accept or forfeit their right to leadership, Tatsu defeated her predecessor and he ask for quick death which as a samurai she understood and granted. Oliver brings up Maseo saying that joining the League of Assassins was something that changed him into something he wasn't and doesn't want the same for Tatsu. Tatsu explains that this is not the case and that she truly believes in the Secret Six's cause which will prevent another mother from losing her child or a wife from killing her husband. Eventually, Oliver returns to the Arrowcave where Anya, Butcher, Tatsu, Golgotha, and Komodo have arrived holding everyone hostage. It is revealed that Tatsu put a tracker on Oliver leading him to their location. Anya demands that he release Kodiak or she will kill everyone in the cave. Oliver reluctantly agrees. But eventually,Oliver releases Kodiak. As the Secret Six leave, Laurel brings Stephanie out of her hypnosis.
 * 19) "Sacred Symbol"- Mia awakens and Team Arrow pursues the Secret Six leading to a battle between the two groups. Oliver fights Komodo while Laurel, Roy, Patrick, Natasha, and Melanie fight Kodiak, Golgotha, and Butcher. Mia pursues Anya and Tatsu, where Tatsu escapes to secure the transport made by the group she is a part of. Mia fights Anya and Volkova discovers that through Mia's body language, she has regained all of the fighting skills that Volkova taught her. Mia then discovers that her improvement in her fighting skills since her resurrection was from the lessons taught by Anya rather than from Cheshire reviving her. Although, Mia lasts far better against Anya than her previous fight but is still defeated by her. Laurel then uses her Canary Cry on Volkova but  Volkova reveals that she is wearing sonic dampener technology. Securing transportation, the  Secret Six escape. Mia then later explains what the Secret Six want in the Totem and that she knows where it is. The team goes to Kyoto, Japan, where Magus buried the Totem. Magus has buried himself with the Totem in ancient ritual long forgotten. The totem resembling an arrow is reached for by Oliver and Mia explains that the arrow is actually a sheath to contain the real totem. Oliver then breaks the arrow in half and finds a small and bright jade stone. Wondering how such an instrument could bring enlightenment, Oliver grabs the totem but suddenly experience a huge flash of images and events that flow through his mind greatly shocking him and making him collapse. After Oliver is awakened by Mia, he then orders the team to retreat as he knows that the Secret Six have followed them. Because of the images Oliver saw, Team Arrow is able to evade the Secret Six and their clans with minimal effort and escape Japan. Arriving in the Arrow cave, Diggle and Walter Jr. analyzes the totem but is unable to understand it through scientific means. Mia wanting to understand what the Secret Six want with totem and what Oliver saw, touches it and experiences the same sensation that Oliver felt. Mia then realizes that totem allows people to witness the future or according to Walter Jr. a series of potential outcomes and futures. The team then starts speculating what the Secret Six could do with the Totem, with Walter Jr. coming to the only conclusion of using it to create a justice system based off of predictive justice. The team is then put into conflict over using the totem to prevent crimes and tragedies before they occur. Mia wants to destroy it because she promised Magus and because despite what the totem can do she believes that he did the right thing hiding it from the world. Walter Jr. is also against the totem and even makes a reference to the film, Minority Report as his reason. John while seeing that the Totem as completely insane sees it as a soldier an intelligence device that is defined by its user but is adamant against giving it to a group of people like the Secret Six. Several members of the team want to use the Totem for their own benefits such as Melanie wanting to use it to prevent herself from getting raped by Anthony Ivo and the Barrel Girls Gang, Roy wanting to prevent his mother from getting killed by drugs, Patrick wants to use it to prevent his parents the Flying Turner's from being killed being killed by Fontana, and Laurel wants to use it to prevent Lance, and Mia from ever getting killed. Oliver is conflicted over what to do with the Totem and eventually talks to Mia, arguing about the benefits and advantages of using it. Oliver wants to use it to bring back Eddie and his parents back from the dead. Mia tells Oliver that the Totem could solve a lot of problems, however, it doesn't offer people the chance to change and be better, the same chance Oliver used to become the man he is today. Oliver convinces the team of that and vows to find a way to destroy the Totem. The Secret Six contacts Team Arrow wanting the Totem back or they will make the people of Star City suffer. The team refuses and Anya orders her people to begin. In Flashfowards, Blight begins to make more Meta-Humans by kidnapping street urchins to do experiments on them. Meanwhile, Oliver meets with Mr. Minos who states that Lord had worked on the serum that gave him his abilities for years and that it wasn't Oliver's fault. However, Oliver still wants to save him feeling responsible.
 * 20) "Taking the Plunge"-  In the following days, the Secret Six and their clans begin to systematically destroy Star City's infrastructure and economy; by kidnapping various figures of who are in charge of keeping Star City in order. This eventually causes civil unrest in the citizens and remaining public figures to vocally speak out against the vigilantes as the Secret Six have blamed them for why they had to kidnap the city's officials. The team struggles with city's unrest trying to keep order but eventually Oliver and Diggle manage to help fund the city's collapsing economy by using the resources of the FBI  and Oliver offering shelter with the community center. However, this is only a temporary solution that will not last long. Anya eventually contacts Team Arrow and proposes a trade the hostages for the Totem. When the city becomes on the verge of economic collapse and even the citizens of Star City attacking the vigilantes trying to save them. Oliver agrees to the trade. The team, the Secret Six and their clans meet in a forest, outside the edge of Star City. The team brings up the Secret Six's plans, as they know what they intend to use the Totem for. Anya explains that the world is in chaos and the Totem is the key to bring order to the world. Oliver argues that it takes away a person's right to become better, something that Tatsu explains does not always happen in life as many people just continue to make the same mistakes over and over again; something that she will not allow to exist again in the world that her son will be reborn in. The team shocked, Mia asks what Tatsu means. Volkova explains that in various types of myths about entrances to the afterlife on Earthly plains and that the Secret Six found it: The Gateway to the Afterlife. Volkova explains that with the Totem they can unlock further secrets about the Gateway, which they intend to use to bring back the warrior they have been training in the afterlife as means to bring about world change. Reluctantly, Oliver gives the Totem to the Secret Six and they reveal the location of the hostages. After making sure that the hostages are secure, Oliver tells Walter Jr. to activate their plan; revealing that Walter Jr. laced the Totem with explosive nano-technology causing the Totem to be destroyed in the Secret Six's hands. Realizing that they have been duped, Anya declares vengeance on Team Arrow for destroying the Secret Six's vision and damning the world to continue to endure such chaos. Flashfowards show Team Arrow having to deal with a new set of gang members who work for Lord. Oliver as Green Arrow tries to confront Blight's good side, however he still allows a man named Dorrance to attack him. Roy begins to want a life away from crime fighting, which Mia promises only after they save the city.
 * 21) "Pay Back In Spades"- The Secret Six and their clans continue to attack Team Arrow and relentlessly pursuing them eventually driving them out of Star City. With Laurel, Patrick, Natasha, Diggle and Roy all injured, Mia and Oliver eventually talk and she learns about how Tatsu became a member of the Secret Six by becoming the leader after defeating the previous one. Mia later contacts Tatsu to meet her in private to discuss a surrender, Tatsu angered at Team Arrow for taking away the chance for her to be with her son and husband again but also for allowing the world to continue  such madness fights Mia. Mia eventually defeats Tatsu and mentions that she is sorry but states that the Secret Six are not the best people to decide how to use the Totem as it is clear to her that although they were born to rid the world of corruption they themselves have become corrupted. Mia also mentions that the path to a better world is never easy and that there are no shortcuts to it. As Tatsu calms down, she asks Mia what she wants. Mia asks how Anya became the leader of the Secret Six, Tatsu mentions that every six years the members of the Secret Six enter a battle royal were the sole victor becomes the leader of the Secret Six but not in charge of the other’s Six's clans. Mia and Tatsu part ways. Eventually the Secret Six find Team Arrow recuperating, where Anya fights both Oliver and Mia at once defeating both of the them but just before she is about to deliver the final blow. Mia formally challenges Anya for leadership of the Fist Clan and her position as a member. In Flashfowards, Dornance continues his killing spree across the city, and Oliver has been trying to stop him. The SCPD put out a warrant for his arrest and meet with the Green Arrow and his team so they can successfully capture him. The plan works, and Green Arrow arrests him giving Dornance an antidote. In the end, Blight sends a bunch of assassins to track down Oliver's family just as an older Connor is at football practice.
 * 22) "Break A Leg"- Mia argues that because she was trained by Anya in the afterlife to become a member of the Secret Six's armies: she has the right to challenge Anya for leadership which Volkova must accept or forfeit her position; Volkova accepts. However, Golgotha wanting Team Arrow to pay for stopping their goal of a new world order challenges this. Anya feeling disrespected and going against their traditions battles Golgotha breaking his spear and kills him by using her signature technique the Leopard Blow; a death touch technique that kill some by hitting their heart to cause an arrhythmia that stops the heart. Anya and the Secret Six depart, allowing Mia to have one week to recover from any injuries and make any final arrangements in the event of her death. Team Arrow and Oliver argue of Mia’s decision citing as a suicide, but Mia reveals that if she should defeat Anya she will not only no longer be leader of the Fist Clan but no longer lead the Secret Six as they will have to wait another six years before deciding their leader. Making the team realize there is no way out of this, Mia says her goodbyes to the team, her father, Laurel, Sara, Connor, and Oliver. Mia then spends her the rest of the week training and studying Volkova’s move to improve her chances. As the deadline reaches its’ end, Team Arrow arrives in the Secret Six base: The Pamir Mountains. Flashfowards show Oliver going to visit Connor ever since he has given him enough space. While trying to clear the air with his son, a bunch of assassins start attacking members of the team with Diggle trying to defend his family. They attack Roy  and Mia at their house, with Blight breaking in and subduing the two. Oliver and Connor decide to put their differences aside and regroup with the rest of the team in order come up with a plan to stop Blight.
 * 23) "Come To Blows"-  Oliver still trying to talk his adoptive sister out of fighting Anya and instead offering himself to fight her instead. Mia says that is impossible because he was never a member of any of the Secret Six's clans, she also asks him to just once believe in her as she has always believed in him. As the battle begins, Mia and Anya fight on equal footing with Volkova noticing that she extensively studied her fighting style and moves. Changing things up, Volkova eventually gains the upper-hand and starts to severely beat Mia bloody. Still standing, Mia endures the assault but manages to land a several solid blows to Anya as well particularly her fractured ribs causing her to slow down. Anya angry breaks Mia’s left wrist and and eventually beats Mia down causing her to collapse, as she gets up Volkova knocks her down a second time this time on her back. Praising her former student of her skill and for a thrilling battle, Volkova then grants her honorable death. Using the Leopard Blow on Mia, seemingly killing her. With Team Arrow, the Secret Six, and their clans looking on; with Team Arrow mourning Mia and Oliver collapsing in grief. As Anya stands over Mia she turns her back when suddenly she awakens, shocking everyone, using the surprise to her advantage. Mia attacks Anya whose guard is weakened because of her ribs and dropped briefly because of Mia’s apparent death is beaten to the ground by Mia who repeatedly ground and pounds Volkova with her left elbow and right hand before finishing her with the Leopard Blow herself which she learned from Anya in the afterlife apparently killing Anya. As Mia collapses from exhaustion, Tatsu checks Volkova’s pulse and declares her legally dead and names Mia the new leader and Secret Sixer of the Fist Clan. With that done, Mia then uses a defibrillator that she brought to jump start Volkova’s heart bring her back to life. Anya then begins to strangle Mia but is stopped by Tatsu who holds her katana to Anya’s throat saying that Mia is the newest Secret Sixer and Volkova’s leader now. Volkova dumbfounded asks Mia how she defeated her and survived the Leopard Blow, Mia struggling to get up with Oliver holding her up tells her it does not matter. She then declares herself as the new leader of the Fist Clan that Anya is to be banished from the Clan and that should any others try to endanger Star City or Team Arrow they will be enemies of the Fist Clan. Komodo, Kodiak, and the Butcher reply they could take on a single clan. Tatsu replies that her Sword Clan stands with the Fist. Rather than risk destroying themselves through infighting, the three accept Mia as a Secret Sixer and agree to banish Anya. Volkova leaves in shame swearing that Mia will pay for all that she took from her. While recovering, Oliver asks Mia how she beat Volkova and survive the Leopard Blow; she states that the Totem showed her how. When Mia first touched the Totem it showed her various possible outcomes of her fighting Anya and being defeated and killed each time, however, each version showed her lasting longer each time eventually coming to the conclusion where if she could survive the Leopard Blow that at the moment of her victory Anya’s guard would be down allowing Mia a chance to beat her. Mia replies that since then she has been performing exercises and substances that strengthen her heart: she states that she needed to cheat to beat Volkova as she doesn’t think anyone could beat her in a straight fight. As Oliver talks to Mia about going back to Star City, Mia reluctantly tells Oliver that she isn’t going home. Mia tells Oliver that for long time it was difficult for her to live in the shadows with everyone knowing that she had died and secretly going out at night as Speedy and with all the radically changes that happened while she was dead; she says that she thought it would eventually pass but it hasn’t and that she was fooling herself into thinking she could go back to her old life with so many restrictions on it now. She tells Oliver that she needs  time away from Star City and from him in order to figure out how to make a new life for herself without Roy since she feels that their relationship would get in the way and rediscover who she is. Oliver, although sad understands Mia's predicament, he apologizes to her for not realizing that she could ever be brought back to life and Mia replies that there is no way he could have known that and tells him not to blame himself for this, as Oliver fighting to uphold and preserve everything that she did with her life is the most loving thing he every did for her; they hug goodbye telling each other that no matter what Mia discovers who she is  and Oliver will always love her as his sister and she will always love him as her brother. Team Arrow then leaves the Pamir Mountains. The season ends with newfound changes coming to the members of the team.
