This week’s episode of “Arrow” was titled “Missing” and although a few characters did go missing, three characters also returned to the show. Throughout the episode Adrian Chase was locked up, but Team Arrow members continued to go missing.
It was eventually revealed that Black Siren, Artemis and Talia al Ghul were picking off the members of Team Arrow one by one, and the efforts of Team Chase left Oliver without backup.
Malcolm Merlyn dropped into the bunker to let Oliver know he’s on his side because he wants to save Thea, and Nyssa al Ghul later joined Team Oliver. Malcolm and Nyssa are two impressive fighters, but it was the last minute of “Missing” that introduced the character fans have been waiting for.
Near the end of the episode, Team Chase and Team Oliver arrived on Lian Yu, and Oliver paid a visit to a very familiar ARGUS prison. He then took out the Deathstroke mask and told Slade Wilson that he needs his help.
Surprisingly, Slade looked happy to see him as he said, “hey kid, glad you came back.”
It’s been a while since we’ve seen Slade, but is return to action in the finale looks like it’s going to be quite triumphant.
