The stills and synopsis for the next Arrow episode 1×17 “The Huntress Returns” have been released.
1×17 ‘The Huntress Returns’
[scrollGallery id=1220 autoScroll=false thumbsdown=true]
Though she appeared very briefly in 1×16 “Dead to Rights,” “The Huntress Returns” will be our real introduction of Doctor Who‘s Alex Kingston as Laurel’s mother Dinah Lance. Kingston’s casting was announced in January.
The episode is titled “The Huntress Returns,” but the Huntress only appears in one of the photos. The Huntress actress Jessica De Gouw was cast in Dracula, so perhaps this episode will put an end to her character. We certainly hope not as we’d love to see her for an episode or two per season down the road.
The synopsis was also released:
EDM MEGASTAR STEVE AOKI OPENS OLIVER’S NEW NIGHTCLUB — With his nightclub set to open and a new romance brewing with McKenna (guest star Janina Gavankar), Oliver (Stephen Amell) is as happy as he’s been since returning to Starling City. But when Oliver’s ex, The Huntress (guest star Jessica De Gouw), suddenly returns to town, she threatens to destroy everything and everyone he cares about. Meanwhile, Laurel (Katie Cassidy) and her father (Paul Blackthorne) struggle with the return of Dinah Lance (guest star Alex Kingston) who claims she has proof Sara is still alive. Thea (Willa Holland) gets Roy Harper (guest star Colton Haynes) a job at Oliver’s club, but he’s not too inclined to stop his life of crime. Oliver and Tommy (Colin Donnell) are thrilled they were able to get Steve Aoki to play at the opening of their new nightclub, Verdant. David Ramsey and Susanna Thompson also star. Guy Bee directed the episode written by Jake Coburn & Lana Cho (117).
