Previously on ‘Arrow’
After some intense reprogramming, Oliver’s loyalty shifted to Ra’s al Ghul. Ra’s sent him to Starling City to retrieve his rival as Heir to the Demon, Nyssa. Laurel, however, convinced Team Arrow to help protect her. When Oliver recognized the poor odds, he kidnapped Lyla. Despite an attempt to sabotage the exchange, though, Nyssa was still captured. Oliver was also prevented from killing Diggle by Thea, in full costume, shooting him with an arrow.
In Nanda Parbat, Ra’s declared Nyssa broken and determined that she would marry Oliver to join their houses. Ra’s also ordered Oliver to use the Alpha-Omega bioweapon on Starling City to complete his ascension.
