Prometheus is the big bad of “Arrow” season 5, but the show has somewhat toned down the Prometheus storyline as of late to focus on other things. Despite the fact that we haven’t seen the villain in a little while, Oliver and Team Arrow are still inching closer to finding out the truth about his identity and why he’s targeting the Green Arrow.
The CW has released the official synopsis for “Checkmate” which reveals that Oliver will be making progress in the fight against Prometheus and Felicity will find herself in a compromising spot.
OLIVER SEEKS THE TRUTH — Oliver (Stephen Amell) gets closer to the truth about Prometheus. Meanwhile, Helix refuses to continue helping Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) until she does a favor for them. Ken Shane directed the episode written by Beth Schwartz & Sarah Tarkoff.
“Checkmate” will air on March 15th and “Arrow” will return next week with “Fighting Fire With Fire.”
VIGILANTE ATTACKS MAYOR QUEEN — Oliver (Stephen Amell) faces his biggest challenge yet as mayor. Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) continues down her dark path with Helix. After Vigilante attacks Oliver while he’s acting as the mayor, Diggle (David Ramsey) leads the team in a mission to stop Vigilante once and for all. Michael Schultz directed the episode written by Speed Weed & Ben Sokolowski.
