Arrow season 2, episode 10 “Blast Radius” airs tonight, with Firefly alum Sean Maher making an explosive appearance.
Previously on ‘Arrow’
As Oliver struggled through hallucinations, Team Arrow faced Cyrus Gold, Sebastian Blood’s first Mirakuru success (though not his last, as Roy survived an injection). The Arrow eventually killed Gold, but not before Lance was injured and his partner killed.
Meanwhile, on the island Ivo forced Oliver to choose between the lives of Shado and Sara. When Oliver jumped in front of Sara, Ivo shot Shado. Slade, who revived after being injected by Mirakuru, took out Ivo’s men and swore vengeance against whoever killed Shado.
It is revealed in the present day that the man pulling Blood’s strings is Slade himself, and he swore to “tear everything [Oliver] cares about away from him, destroy those who choose to follow him, corrupt those he loves.” Once he did that, he would drive an arrow through Oliver’s eye.
Meanwhile, Barry Allen returned to Central City where the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator malfunctioned. Barry was struck by lightning and thrown into a shelf of chemicals. The flash of a red light across his unconscious face hinted at the birth of the Flash.

‘Arrow’ season 2, episode 10 ‘Blast Radius’ synopsis
If that promo has whet your appetite, make sure to read the official synopsis for the mid-season premiere:
ARROW HUNTS DOWN SHRAPNEL — Oliver must tackle a new threat to the city when bombs start to go off in Starling City. Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) discovers the person setting them off is Mark Sheffer (guest star Sean Maher), a man who goes by the nickname Shrapnel. Arrow discovers Shrapnel’s next target is Sebastian Blood’s (guest star Kevin Alejandro) “Unity Rally” and tries to talk the alderman out of hosting it, but he refuses. Arrow sets off to stop the bombing, but Shrapnel tricks him and traps him in a bomb-laced antique store where he is unable to move without setting off the device. While Felicity helps Oliver, Diggle (David Ramsey) races to the plaza to find the bomb before it goes off. Meanwhile, Roy (Colton Haynes) continues to hide his new strength from Thea (Willa Holland) but, after she witnesses his super strength in action at the rally, she demands answers. Laurel’s (Katie Cassidy) suspicions about Sebastian grow stronger once she learns that he grew up with Cyrus Gold, the man who killed Lance’s (Paul Blackthorne) partner. After Donner (guest star Dylan Bruce) refuses to help her investigate, she turns to Arrow (Stephen Amell) for help. Rob Hardy directed the episode written by Jake Coburn & Keto Shimizu (#210).
