| The Arrow (Stephen Amell) |
In the fifth season premiere, Oliver is now the mayor of Star City and
juggling his political roles and his role as a vigilante. Thea still
doesn't want that type of life, Diggle is still on some sort of vacation
after murdering his brother in the last season so Oliver is left to
work alone with Felicity. She keeps telling him to recruit new people
and train them but he refuses. Instead he works with Quentin Lance and
some police officers to take down the new villain Tobias Church. Lance
returned to his old drinking habits again but snaps out of it after
listening to Oliver's speech. He realizes that he could do something
other than wasting his life drinking and grieving so he helps out team
Arrow. Tobias' main aim for now is to take down the Green Arrow, so he
crashes the unveiling of the Black Canary's statue and kidnaps Oliver
and three other people. Oliver is able to disentangle himself from the
situation which takes us to the flashbacks of him in Russia hunting down
Constantine Kovar and how Anatoli helped him get out of the situation.

| Viktoh (Mike Dopud) and Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) |
Oliver manages to get away from Tobias' men with the help of Speedy and
decides to come back for the other three captives. Thea is mad at Oliver
for giving up on his "no killing policy" and he tells her that Malcolm
was right all along and that he has to do whatever is necessary to keep
the city safe.
Oliver is able to get the other captives from Tobias'
lair with the help of some police officers but Tobias escapes.

| Speedy (Willa Holland) and Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) |
He has a
video chat with Diggle who thinks its a good idea to rebuild the team.
Even though he's thousands of miles away, he's still able to help Oliver
work through his emotions. Back at Felicity's loft, we see that she has
a new boyfriend, Detective Billy Malone. The episode ends with another
archer (Prometheus) taking out one of Lance's cops. After four very long seasons of
conflicting emotions and uncertainty, Oliver Queen may finally know what
he's doing especially the fact that he dropped his "no killing" policy
which I thought wasn't realistic for a superhero.

| Prometheus |
He's changed a lot
since the season premiere and finally listening to other people's
opinions. He accepts that he needs to move forward and put together a
new team to help him put away the bad guys.
