That’s why Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) is calling in a big favor, and Matt Ryan is reprising his role as John Constantine in next week’s episode of Arrow! She’s desperate, she tells him, before chaining him up while the task force starts loading up a van…until the team stops them. In waiting for Oliver to arrive, they agree to not tell him about Sara’s resurrection, because why should they? It’s during a takedown that doesn’t go the team’s way – they even have a way to disable the Canary Cry – that they get their answer as to who these people are: the anti-vigilante task force Lance reinstated previous year, led by Liza Warner, and they have specialized gear.

Finally, Oliver caught Lance meeting with Darhk via the cop cameras. This posture of righteousness has always made Oliver feel like he wasn’t good enough, and in that moment – with no arrows, no suit, no voice changer – it’s just Oliver and Captain Lance.
You can watch shows from the network in the link provided above. The way Oliver and Lance put their entire beings on the table for audiences to soak in was something special. Everyone has their various reactions and one of the things – once the team figures this out, Oliver actually says…
This revelation draws upon a few great themes from seasons past. He quickly realizes that its part of a fail-safe protocol that recorded Ray’s final moments before he died.
On the other hand, Oliver had already patched things up with Diggle (David Ramsey), and it was reported that they will be dealing with a new threat in Star City.
Where one Lance is written with precision, the other continues to be dragged through the mud.
The CW released a sneak preview and the synopsis for the episode “Beyond Redemption”, which states: “Laurel (Katie Cassidy) must deal with the repercussions of taking Sara (guest star Caity Lotz) to Nanda Parbat”. Oliver wants to “save my city” just as before, and even amid an hour as introspective as “Beyond Redemption”, it’s harder and harder to envision what that truly entails. As his speech closes out, we see Felicity listen to Ray’s message where he apologizes, we see Lance meeting with Darhk again, and we see Laurel going to check on Sara, who has escaped her bonds.

Sara is back, but she’s not exactly… herself. Laurel’s attempts to jog Sara’s memory by showing her photographs of their family don’t work, which gives Sara the opportunity to try and kill Laurel. In a fit of terror and emotional weakness, Lance pulls a gun on his own daughter, in the hopes that killing her would be better than keeping her alive with no hope. Thankfully Laurel’s intervention prevents this from happening. In “Beyond Redemption” the fourth episode of season four, Laurel is going to have to face her father after what she’s done.
