Previously on ‘Arrow’
Sara sought to mend bridges with Laurel. However, her relationship with Oliver threw a wrench in things, and a Lance family dinner blew up in everyone’s faces. But after arguing with Oliver, Laurel finally started to turn things around, attending an AA meeting and reconciling with Sara.
Meanwhile, Felicity grew self-conscious about her place on Team Arrow with Sara’s presence and sought to overcompensate. But after she took a bullet in the shoulder, Oliver assured her that she is an essential part of the team.
And, in the shocking final moments of the last episode, Oliver came face to face with Slade, who was in the middle of a meeting with Moira.

‘Arrow’ season 2, episode 15, ‘The Promise’ synopsis
If that promo has whet your appetite, make sure to read the official synopsis for the fifteenth episode of the season:
THE TURNING POINT — Oliver (Stephen Amell) is shocked when he learns that Slade (Manu Bennett) has come to Starling City. Back on the island, as Oliver, Slade and Sara (Caity Lotz) prepare to take over the freighter from Ivo (guest star Dylan Neal), Sara pulls Oliver aside and tells him he needs to kill Ivo to prevent him from telling Slade what happened with Shado. Oliver feels immense guilt over the situation but realizes Slade’s growing rage from the Mirakuru makes him unpredictable and he could turn on his friends if he thinks Oliver is to blame. Oliver agrees to kill Ivo and the battle begins. Glen Winter directed the episode written by Jake Coburn & Ben Sokolowski (#215).
