Arrow: 10 Huge Things We Learned From The New Trailer
8. Roy's Ploy Works
Between the League of Assassins picking off innocents in his city and Ras al Ghul revealing his secret identity to Captain Lance, nothing has really been going according to plan for Oliver. Even the intended sacrifice of his own freedom to guarantee immunity for the rest of Team Arrow fell apart almost immediately when Roy donned the green leathers and hood to pull an almighty I am Spartacus! on the authorities. Despite the clear size difference between Roy and the Arrow as well as Lances knowledge of Roys role as Arsenal, theres a surprising degree of sense to the ploy. The SCPD doesnt actually have hard evidence against Oliver at this point. Unless Lance intends to call Ras al Ghul as a witness, Roys confession in the Arrow suit looks to be enough to free Oliver and send Roy to prison. Heck, between Lances well-known bias against Oliver and that this will have been the second time that hes wrongfully arrested Oliver as the vigilante, Lances career might be in jeopardy. Oliver almost certainly will not be thrilled at his sidekick taking the fall for him, but Roys heroism in giving himself up in Olivers stead may save a lot of lives in the long run.
Fiction buff and writer. If it's on Netflix, it's probably in my queue. I've bought DVDs for the special features and usually claim that the book is better than the movie or show (and can provide examples). I've never met a TV show that I won't marathon. Follow on Twitter @lah9891 .
