ARROW Season 3, Episode 4 Description; "The Magician" - 'Ra's Al Ghul' Debuts
The CW have released the first official description for "The Magician", the fourth episode of Arrow's third season. As well as confirming that Nyssa will return to Starling City to join The Arrow on his hunt for [SPOILER]'s killer, Ra's al Ghul's debut is also revealed...
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.
