الموسم 1، الحلقة 2: Oliver heads to the courthouse to get his death certificate repealed and is pleasantly surprised to run into Laurel, who is there prosecuting Martin Somers (guest star Ty Olsson), a criminal with ties to the Chinese Triad. Recognizing Martin's name from his father's book, Oliver sets his sights on taking him down. Martin orders the Triad to "take care of" Laurel so they send their top mercenary -- China White (guest star Kelly Hu) -- after her, an act that culminates in a battle between Arrow and China White. Meanwhile, Moira and Walter (guest star Colin Salmon) ask Oliver to take over the company.
