This week’s episode of “Arrow” answered a lot of questions about the return of Laurel Lance. When she first arrived she told Oliver that Sara had picked her up in the Waverider, and brought her back via time travel.
Eventually it was revealed that she was actually Laurel’s doppelganger from Earth-2 and that she had broken out of STAR Labs. She also revealed that she was working with Prometheus, and after a few scuffles with Team Arrow, she was captured and locked up.
In recent weeks “Arrow” showrunners have been teasing that the Black Canary will return, but it doesn’t look like it’s going to be Laurel’s Earth-2 doppelganger at this point. Oliver tried several times throughout the episode to find the good in her, but she wouldn’t let go of her dark side.
However, the end of the episode teased that Team Arrow will go on the hunt for a new Black Canary next week in “Second Chances.”
Next week the team will head to Hub City to try and recruit Tina Boland, and you can see Tina in action in the trailer below.
