‘Arrow’ episode 20 preview: The next battle with Deadshot
During this past episode of “Arrow,” we had quite an epic tease of a story coming up involving Deadshot, who was suddenly getting back into business thanks to some “encouragement” from China White. So where is the character going to strike next? Well, let’s just say that he will be back in Starling City, which presents a perfect opportunity for Diggle to try to get revenge on the man responsible for killing his brother.
The only sad part of all this is that this “Arrow” episode, entitled “Home Invasion,” is not going to air until April 24, which means that you’re probably going to have to find something else to occupy your time for a few weeks while you wait. The real good news here is that from this episode straight through to the May 15 finale, the rest of the installments will be new and uninterrupted by repeats.
Of course, Diggle’s story is not going to be the only thing taking place in this episode, which is probably a good thing in that we constantly find ourselves being extremely paranoid about his lifespan on this show. We’re also going to see even more of a division opening up between Oliver and Tommy following the latter’s decision to quit the nightclub.
Be sure to check out the official synopsis for the hour below:
“Deadshot (guest star Michael Rowe) returns to Starling City after taking down a U.S. Ambassador and six others overseas. By keeping tabs on A.R.G.U.S.’s manhunt for the assassin, Oliver (Stephen Amell), Diggle (David Ramsey), and Felicity (guest star Emily Bett Rickards) learn that a sting operation is underway to capture Deadshot – alive. Diggle is determined to see his brother’s killer dead, with or without Ollie’s help. Meanwhile, Laurel (Katie Cassidy) takes drastic steps to protect a young witness, exacerbating friction between Tommy (Colin Donnell) and Oliver. Later, Roy Harper (guest star Colton Haynes) unconventionally pursues all leads to find his new hero, but runs afoul of Detective Lance (Paul Blackthorne). Back on the island, Oliver recalls how Shado (guest star Celina Jade) helped him incrementally gain confidence with a bow and hit the target for the first time.”
Sounds exciting, no? Even the island storyline at this point is starting to evolve beyond just a clueless rich guy struggling to stay alive. If you want to read our review of the most-recent episode of “Arrow,” you can do so by heading on over to the link here.
