It’s not often that Oliver Queen and his cohorts venture overseas, so it goes without saying that we should all tune in for tonight’s episode of Arrow, “Bratva.” And if you’ve been following the series to this point, you know from that title we’re going to be seeing the titular hero’s past exploits with the Russian mafia come home to roost.
In the newly released sneak peek, we join Team Arrow 2.0 as they settle into their temporary digs after Oliver has apparently taken a punch to the face, probably courtesy of his old pal Anatoly. But what’s particularly exciting to see is that Dinah Drake, the new Black Canary, is already taking part in the action. Now begins the countdown to seeing her in full costume.
Aside from what’s been shown, be sure to keep your eyes affixed to Susan, who makes her return tonight. Fan theories place her as being Prometheus and we’re all just waiting for her to slip up. Knowing that CW shows usually unmask big bads around this point in the season, we’ve entered “any day now” territory.
For more information, be sure to check out the synopsis below:
OLVIER RETURNS TO RUSSIA — A mission takes Oliver (Stephen Amell), Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) and team to Russia where they meet up with Oliver’s old friend, Anatoly (guest star David Nykl). Meanwhile, fresh out of rehab, Lance (Paul Blackthorne) returns to the mayor’s office ready to get back to work. However, when Susan (guest star Carly Pope) asks for an interview with Lance to discuss his addiction, he balks and it’s up to Rene (guest star Rick Gonzalez) to help keep things on track. Ben Bray directed the episode written by Oscar Balderrama & Emilio Ortega Aldrich.
Arrow airs on Wednesday nights on The CW.
