‘Arrow’ episode 18 preview: One vigilante versus another

On Wednesday night’s new episode of “Arrow,” we are basically going to have an opportunity to see just what happens when The Hood runs across someone else who carries the vigilante label; but this time, it is someone with a very different sort of label than the Dark Archer.

The religion connotations are heavy with this hour: the episode title is “Salvation,” and based on the name of one of the characters alone (in The Savior), it looks as though we are primed to see some sort of serious conversation about what and who you want to have faith in.

Check out the full synopsis of the hour below:

“An angry resident of The Glades who calls himself “The Savior” (guest star Christopher Redman) embarks on a kidnapping and killing spree to punish those he believes have wronged the residents of his neighborhood. To make things worse, he broadcasts these murders online and claims he was inspired by Arrow’s (Stephen Amell) vigilantism. Oliver is horrified by this statement and vows to stop “The Savior,” but his manhunt in intensified after Thea (Willa Holland) comes to him in tears and tells him Roy (guest star Colton Haynes) has been kidnapped. Laurel (Katie Cassidy) is surprised when her father (Paul Blackthorne) starts to believe her mother’s (guest star Alex Kingston) claim that Sara is still alive. Meanwhile, Malcom (John Barrowman) tells Moira (Susanna Thompson) to find the person responsible for his attempted murder.”

At the moment, there is really only one other thing that we can tell you about this episode: don’t be too afraid for Roy just yet. Considering that the man is going to be a series regular on the second season of the show, we have a feeling that he ultimately will not be going anywhere soon.
