NYSSA RETURNS TO STARLING CITY, RA’S AL GHUL MAKES HIS ENTRANCE — A furious Nyssa (guest star Katrina Law) confronts Oliver (Stephen Amell) about Sara. When Oliver learns Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman) is alive, he suspects Merlyn killed Sara. Oliver and Nyssa join forces and go after the Dark Archer, intent on bringing Sara’s killer to justice. Laurel (Katie Cassidy) keeps her distance from Nyssa, as she blames her sister’s death on her involvement with the League of Assassins. Meanwhile, Oliver and Roy (Colton Haynes) work on repairing their respective relationships with Thea (Willa Holland), who has returned home. Nyssa discusses Oliver with her father, Ra’s al Ghul (guest star Matt Nable). John Behring directed the episode written by Wendy Mericle & Marc Guggenheim (#304).


Arrow clearly isn't wasting time getting straight to the point this year as "The Magician" will see the return of both Malcolm Merlyn, Nyssa al Ghul AND the debut of Ra's al Ghul. How all this plays out throughout the course of the 22-episode season should be very interesting to see, but it does seem clear that the hunt for Sara's killer will be a big part of this early batch of episodes. Thoughts?

I figured Thea's killer was Komodo since he's the villain in the second episode, but apparently not if it's still a mystery by episode 4. For some reason, Merlyn killing Sara doesn't really add up to me; I honestly have no idea who could have done it. I would think Deathstroke is still in prison, but it's very possible he could've broke out in the 4 months since Oliver beat him. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out, I can't wait for Ra's Al Ghul to appear.

I try so hard to love this show and I just cant. The soap opera elements just kill it for me.

My theory is that Sara's killer is Roy. If it was Ra's al Ghul or Merlyn or Deathstroke, they would have shown who it was, plus a bow & arrow isn't the form of weapon used by Ra's or Deathstroke. Roy would definitely be the biggest shock if true.

Ra's al Ghul is the one who killed Sara. She knew the person and he had a very distinctive voice. His voice sounded nothing like Malcom Merlyn's.

Even though Ra's al Ghul was seen with a sword in the promo trailer, he used arrows to kill Sara, so Oliver and team would suspect someone else.

@mgeoff88 It was Komodo that killed her, Ra's might of ordered it though.

I wonder if Nyssa's panties are made of the same material as her see thru veil..?
What I'm saying is I want to see her pu--y.

@Dmon That's what the show creators want us to think, because Komodo appears in the second episode. I think it's misdirection.

Sara knew her killer, and she never mentioned anything to Oliver about knowing Komodo.
