ARROW Season 5, Episode 12 Promo; "Bratva" - A Familiar Face From The Past Returns
Team Arrow gained a new member in tonight's episode, but the action moves to Russia next week as an old friend (turned foe?) reenters the life of Oliver Queen! Hit the jump to check out this sneak peek...
In tonight's episode of Arrow, we learned that Tina Boland is really Dinah Drake, a character who is, in fact, Black Canary in many DC Comics stories. She may not be a Lance, but this gives the series a chance to do the hero justice (even if it does feel incredibly forced after Lauren's largely unnecessary death). Regardless, come next Wednesday, she'll be heading to Russia with the rest of Oliver's team.
What did you think of tonight's Arrow and the Black Canary's debut? Share your thoughts down below.
A mission takes Oliver (Stephen Amell), Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) and team to Russia where they meet up with Oliver’s old friend, Anatoly (guest star David Nykl). Meanwhile, fresh out of rehab, Lance (Paul Blackthorne) returns to the mayor’s office ready to get back to work. However, when Susan (guest star Carly Pope) asks for an interview with Lance to discuss his addiction, he balks and it’s up to Rene (guest star Rick Gonzalez) to help keep things on track. Ben Bray directed the episode written by Oscar Balderrama & Emilio Ortega Aldrich.
