Arrow Season 7: 5 Ups & 2 Downs From 'Inheritance'

Ups...

5. The Return Of The Ninth Circle

Arrow Dante
The CW

After last week's all flash-forward outing, this week's encounter was planted firmly in the present with no flash-forwards whatsoever. As a result, we finally got a renewed focus on the illusive Dante and, in extension, his Ninth Circle.

Carrying on from the last time we saw him, 'Inheritance' particularly explored the character's relationship with Emiko Queen and how, together, the pair proved to be a formidable team as they pulled the wool over Team Arrow's eyes and even threatened to release a toxic gas in Star City.

Though there are still some questions to be answered, it was nice to finally see the Ninth Circle in action. Adrian Paul remained rather chilling in his portrayal of Dante and was appropriately commanding whenever he appeared on-screen alongside Emiko. This, of course, allowed one of the episode's major twists to catch us completely off-guard (more on that later).
