After Laurel’s death and the departures of both Diggle and Thea from Team Arrow, Oliver takes to the streets solo to protect Star City’s citizens as the Green Arrow. With Felicity guiding him from the bunker, Oliver is forced to deal with a city that has become overrun with both criminals and a slew of new (and painfully inexperienced) vigilantes. Watching Oliver try to balance his jobs as both the mayor and also the protector of Star City, Felicity suggests he form a new team, but Oliver resists. However, when a deadly new criminal, Tobias Church (guest star Chad L. Coleman), enters the picture, Oliver realizes the best thing for the city might be a new team of super heroes. Meanwhile, the flashbacks take us to Russia where Oliver faces off against the Bratva.
Oliver’s new recruits for Team Arrow are Curtis, Wild Dog (guest star RICK GONZALEZ) and Evelyn Sharp (guest star MADISON McLAUGHLIN). Unfortunately, the Green Arrow’s training methods prove to be too much for some of them to handle. Meanwhile, in the flashbacks, Oliver’s initiation into the Bratva continues.
Now that Oliver has his new team, they are ready to hit the streets but Oliver doesn’t feel they are ready. Headstrong Wild Dog defies the Green Arrow’s orders and sets out on his own after a new drug dealer, Garret Runnels (guest star CODY RHODES), who is terrorizing Star City. Runnels proves more powerful than Wild Dog, leaving it up to the Green Arrow to go head-to-head with Runnels to save his teammate.
Oliver and Lyla team up on a secret mission for Diggle. Felicity finds out and disapproves of the plan and opts to stay behind. When Tobias Church launches a deadly assault against the city, Felicity must decide if she wants to send the recruits out sans the Green Arrow.
Oliver must turn to an old friend when Tobias Church captures one of his new recruits; Felicity's worlds collide when Detective Malone joins the anti-crime unit.
When Prometheus ups his killing spree, Oliver searches for connections between the victims. Felicity and Curtis discover the victims have a mysterious link to Oliver’s past and this new secret could upend his new team. Meanwhile, Thea has a heart-to-heart with Quentin, and Felicity considers telling Malone the truth about her work.
