Synopsis for "Far From Home"

Arsenal arms up for an assault on Belle Reve. He expects Black Canary to try and talk him out of it but she is fully on board.

Meanwhile on the alien world, Oliver has resumed acting as a vigilante. He chases a drug dealer to the nightclub that a local crime boss operates out of and warns the man that he will keep coming after him as long as he profits off the pain of others. Oliver easily fights off the man's henchmen and he announces a bounty on Oliver's head. A Tamaranean named Troublemaker takes the deal and attacks Oliver. She recognises him as a member of the Justice League and asks him how he ended up so far from home; but he refuses to tell her and she overpowers him. Before she can kill him, Lian arrives to save him, despite him telling her to stay behind. They fight Toublemaker together and Lian eventually knocks her out with a boxing glove arrow, but only after Oliver breaks his bow over Toublemaker's head.

They return to their shelter, and over dinner Lian asks Oliver why they can't go home; but he refuses to say. She tells him it feels like there is a supernatural force keeping their family apart and Oliver says that's for the best; but then has a sudden burst of anger. He apologises to Lian and admits that he misses his family; listing Roy, Emiko and Dinah. Lian asks him about Connor and Oliver seems confused, not recognising his name until Lian tells him that Connor is his son. Oliver's memories of Connor suddenly come flooding back and he is enraged again, saying that "they" took his son from him. Suddenly, the two of them teleport away again.

Back on Earth, Arsenal and Black Canary fight their way into Belle Reve looking for Amanda Waller. Count Vertigo, one of the prisoners, tells them that he knows secrets not only about Waller, but about them. Roy asks him what he knows, but before Vertigo can answer Peacemaker and Peacewrecker burst in and fire on them.
