Previously, Oliver and Slade came face to face for the first time since the island. He swore to uphold a promise he made to Oliver five years ago: “You cannot die until you have suffered the same way I have suffered. Until you have known complete despair. And you will.”
Oliver, meanwhile, tried to push his loved ones away to protect them from Slade but eventually let Sara in. He swore to kill Slade and “make damn sure he stays dead.”

The official synopsis for Arrow season 2, episode 17, “Birds of Prey,” reads:
WHEN THE HUNTRESS MET THE CANARY — When Frank Bertinelli (guest star Jeffrey Nordling) is arrested, Oliver (Stephen Amell) knows it’s only a matter of time before his daughter, Helena, AKA The Huntress (guest star Jessica De Gouw), returns to town. To make matters worse, Laurel (Katie Cassidy) is picked to try Frank’s case, putting her right in the path of Helena. Oliver tells Sara (Caity Lotz) he will handle his ex-girlfriend, but when Helena takes hostages at the courthouse, including Laurel, the Canary will stop at nothing to save her sister. When The Huntress and Canary meet, an epic battle begins. Meanwhile, Roy (Colton Haynes) realizes he needs to keep Thea (Willa Holland) safe, but doesn’t like the way he is forced to go about it.
