The Arrow mid-season finale, “The Climb,” airs tonight, as Oliver faces off against the League of Assassins.
Previously on ‘Arrow’
Laurel’s trainer and friend, Ted Grant, was framed for murder by his former protege from his own days as a vigilante. Meanwhile, Roy struggled with his dreams of killing Sara, but upon meditating on his memories realized that the dreams were a manifestation of his memories of killing two cops while on his Mirakuru-induced rampage.
After facing off against Carrie Cutter, aka Cupid, Oliver traveled to Central City to track down a killer using a boomerang and worked alongside the S.T.A.R. Labs team, though matters were complicated when Barry was affected by the metahuman-of-the-week’s powers, bringing out rage in him and leading to a superhero showdown. Meanwhile, Felicity asked Caitlin to analyze the DNA sample she recovered from Sara’s murder. The S.T.A.R. Labs team then arrived in Starling City to help with the defeat of ex-Suicide Squad agent Digger Harkness, aka Captain Boomerang.
