Synopsis for "The Last Lion"

Officer Kaz visits the Sherwood Florist again, hoping for a date with Dinah Lance. Her assistant Marianne covers for her, because Dinah is still not sure if she's ready to admit that her relationship with Oliver Queen has ended. Oliver has been away for nearly a year without sending any word. Dinah states that Oliver will never truly be at peace until he faces the demons which caused him to leave.
Ollie wanders the African Savanna, eventually meeting a man named Stanley Yatima, who gives him a ride to a small Masai village, where lions are traditionally hunted as part of a coming-of-age ceremony, which can no longer be held due to protections against the hunting of lions.
In the village, the people struggle to raise cattle, and there is some commotion over the fact that a lion killed a calf the previous day. That night, Ollie participates in a ceremony regarding the lion hunt, and as he watches, Stanley comments that each man has his own lion to face.
Back in Seattle, Officer Kaz makes another attempt to convince Dinah to go on a date with him, and finally, she accepts - to his surprise.
The next morning, Oliver wakes to find Stanley missing. He asks one of the elders where Stanley went, and he is informed that Stanley has gone to fight a lion. Oliver equips his bow and runs after his new friend. When he sees Stanley circling the lion, he aims an arrow at it, but a glare from Stanley convinces him to lay off. Oliver walks away as Stanley charges the lion.
Elsewhere, Officer Kaz meets with someone named Vinnie who tries to convince Kaz to let his nephew go after killing a woman with a questionable occupation.
