Turns out, it just gave him superhealing abilities.Ĭanary keeps the Vigilante from killing the councilwoman, and after telling her his back story, she let’s him go, so of course he’ll be back to cause problems.

And it turns out, the Vigilante is her old partner Vincent Sobel, who she thought died in the STAR Labs explosion that gave Dinah her powers. While Diggle, Rene and Curtis can’t really confront the Vigilante with the FBI there, police officer Dinah Drake – the Black Canary – can be on scene, and she confronts the killer, hitting him with her sonic scream, shattering his visor. Honestly, that thread is getting tiresome, and I hope they finish with it soon. The team tries to stop him, but is hampered by the presence of FBI agent Samanda Watson, who has expanded the scope of her investigation into Oliver’s ties to the Green Arrow to include the rest of the team. Introduced last season as a feint to the identity of Prometheus, but left lingering without a resolution, the Vigilante here is hunting the city councilwoman who introduced the anti-vigilante bill. While Oliver is out of the country, the rest of Team Arrow is dealing with the return of another loose thread from Season 5 – the Vigilante. It’s good to have him back for a few episodes this season. Manu Bennett’s portrayal of Slade was one of the highlights of the first two seasons of ARROW and it’s good to have him back here, as Slade and Oliver play well off each other. The camping trip, though, is an excuse to get close to someone who has information the assassin needs, and we get hints to what led Slade to the island. The Slade storyline is supplemented by Arrow’s signature flashbacks, this time looking at Slade and his son on a camping trip, before Deathstroke got stranded on Lian Yu.

The prison guard admits Slade’s son didn’t actually die, he’d just been taken by The Jackals, a criminal organization comprising “the worst of the worst.” Slade is led to find the group by his old pal Nylander, who turns out to be one of the Jackals. Oliver is told on first attempt that Joseph Wilson died in a prison fight, but that doesn’t pass the smell test, so Slade comes along for a second round of questions. This is the ARROWVERSE, though, so nothing like this goes easy. Slade brings Oliver along with him to Kasnia, to have the former Green Arrow use diplomatic means to get his son out of prison. And here, the assassin calls Oliver in for help after finding his boy. The Arrow’s greatest threat – and at one time his closest ally – asks Oliver Queen to help him find his son while Team Arrow battles The Vigilante.Īfter the events that ended season 5, Slade Wilson – Deathstroke – and Oliver Queen have established a détente as Oliver has offered to help Slade find his son, Joseph.
