1×16 ‘Dead To Rights’

[scrollGallery id=1176 autoScroll=false thumbsdown=true]

Here’s the synopsis:

DEADSHOT RETURNS — Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Diggle (David Ramsey) learn that Deadshot (guest star Michael Rowe) is still alive and his next target is Malcom (John Barrowman). Malcolm invites Tommy (Colin Donnell) to attend a benefit honoring Malcolm for his work with Starling City but Tommy refuses to attend. Oliver encourages his friend to mend his relationship with his father while he can. Meanwhile, Oliver struggles to balance his new relationship with McKenna (Janina Gavankar) and his duties as Arrow. Katie Cassidy, Paul Blackthorne and Susanna Thompson also star. Glen Winter directed the episode written by Geoff Johns (#116).

Oliver wants Tommy to mend his relationship with his father, Malcom, and based off of these stills, it looks like that may have happened. It appears that there will be some serious action involving our two favorite Merlyns’, and we can’t wait. It appears something very bad happens to Malcom, and because of our undying love of John Barrowman, we hope it isn’t fatal. We really doubt that the Arrow producers would do such a thing this early in the show anyway.
