Synopsis for "The Death and Life of Oliver Queen, Chapter One"
Having partnered up with Black Canary, Green Arrow prowls the Seattle Docks for the Underground Men who have been trafficking women and children for the Ninth Circle. Queen and Drake drop down and begin to thin out their enemies. Though Henry radios in a warning about their reinforcements Ollie is unfazed as Emiko emerges from the shadows to help. Soon the trio manage to stop the Underground Men and the SPD arrive. Ollie, surprised by the presence of Queen Industry crates, tracks down Ezra Warren - a worker on the docks - and offers to double the pay he is getting for colluding.
Queen and Drake soon find themselves in bed, waking up and preparing breakfast for themselves and Emiko. Oliver takes Dinah out for a motorbike ride as he tells her what he believes to be "happiness" but Dinah points out that only his relationship with Emiko is the only one not based upon money. Dinah leaves him while he feels down and he seeks the advice of an old business partner Cyrus Broderick. As Queen leaves Cyrus to go home, the businessman pulls out a phone and ominously says "it's time".
From the shadows, arrows and darts fly at Oliver. He whirls around in time to watch Shado swing at him, he manages to deflect her but soon Emiko enters the room and, despite Oliver shouting for her to run, she knocks an arrow and looses it straight into Oliver's back. Elsewhere Cyrus returns home and finds his mask and addresses the Ninth Circle as their illusive leader.
