‘Arrow’ season 3, episode 11 preview: Where does Katie Cassidy’s Canary go from here?

Tonight, “Arrow” finally presented its first taste of Laurel Lance as the Black Canary, but we still do have a feeling that the best is definitely still to come. After all, this is just the tip of the iceberg for Katie Cassidy in this role, and Laurel is not particularly skilled yet. She is still learning the ropes, and that includes trying to figure out what she is still capable of.

Next week’s new episode “Midnight City” will continue what is in some ways the “Brick Trilogy.” He will continue to be the Big Bad for the time being, and she will will be potentially in hot water over how desperate she is to fight crime. In case you have not seen the official synopsis for this hour already, take a look at it tomorrow:

“Arsenal (Colton Haynes) and Diggle (David Ramsey) confront Laurel (Katie Cassidy) about trying to step into her sister’s shoes and warn her to stop before she gets herself killed. However, when Brick (guest star Vinnie Jones) kidnaps the city’s Aldermen and threatens to kill them all unless the police evacuate The Glades, it’s all suits on deck. Meanwhile, Ray (Brandon Routh) steps in to help Lance (Paul Blackthorne) and the police force fight Brick, showing Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) a new side of her boss. Malcom (John Barrowman) tells Thea (Willa Holland) that Ra’s al Ghul (Matt Nable) is after him and his family and they must leave town immediately.”

Tomorrow, we are going to record our first official “Arrow” podcast of the new year, and we have a feeling that this is going to be a big one.
