‘Arrow’ season 2 spoilers: More on the Suicide Squad, Diggle’s big story

The March 19 episode of “Arrow” is entitled “Suicide Squad,” and in case you haven’t heard about yet, this is going to be a pretty big one. This is, after all, a chance to see the John Diggle character rise to the forefront somewhat, and also feature a number of the big characters that you have come to know over the past two years. Take, for example, the likes of Deadshot and Bronze Tiger.

So what in the world compels David Ramsey’s character to along with teaming up with his former enemies? In the full synopsis below for the episode, you can at least get a few more details about it:

“Following Slade’s (Manu Bennett) return and his promise to make good on his threat to destroy Oliver’s (Stephen Amell) loved ones, Oliver focuses all his energy on preparing for battle with his former friend. Sarah (Caity Lotz) tries to help but, fearing for her safety, Oliver pushes her away. Meanwhile, Diggle (David Ramsey) is recruited by Amanda Waller (guest star Cynthia Addai-Robinson) and A.R.G.U.S. to stop a warlord (guest star Lee Majdoub) he knew from his time in Afghanistan. Always the solider, Diggle agrees to help. However, he’s not prepared when Amanda introduces him to the rest of the team – Deadshot (guest star Michael Rowe), Bronze Tiger (guest star Michael Jai White) and Shrapnel (guest star Sean Maher), all criminals he and Arrow helped put away. Lyla (guest star Audrey Marie Anderson) defends the team and explains the world is a complicated place, but Diggle isn’t sure he agrees. When the mission takes a dangerous turn, Diggle is forced to make a difficult decision.”

Slade Wilson returned on Wednesday’s episode, as he sat down for a meeting with Moira Queen for some sort of mysterious reason … which probably involves him trying to destroy his life from within.

For those who have wanted more Diggle, though, this is the episode that is right up your alley. We don’t know if it will change the major arc of the season or not, but it should make for a heck of a fun detour.
