How often do we see Oliver Queen overwhelmed? Not very often. But when you're doing good for your city and your biggest enemy chooses then to attack, all bets are off.
Mayoral Candidate Oliver Queen has to field questions from the press about what's next. He promised to fight in the light. Is this how it will always be?
Oliver is on the move, ready to act to protect his people. This is his project. He threw down the gauntlet, wanting to fight in the open. This is the response.
Laurel always thinks of the children, this time taking one with her and protecting her during what appears to be a HIVE attack, or an attack of the "ghosts" controlled by Damien Darhk.
Oliver is watching over the festivities, apparently to clean up Starling Bay, as promised. No doubt he will be poking at the hornet's nest called Damien Darhk!
Thea: If you're here to give me a Christmas present, you can keep whatever knife or torture device you plan on giving me. Malcolm: No presents, nothing gift wrapped, at any rate.
