Oliver Queen Meets Talia Al Ghul In These First Images From Next Week's ARROW
The promo for next week's Arrow revolved mainly around the hunt for a new Black Canary, but the first official images from the episode put the spotlight on Lexa Doig as the mysterious Talia al Ghul...
It was at the end of Wednesday's episode of Arrow that we first met Talia al Ghul as she saved Oliver Queen from a very sticky situation back in Russia. In this week's "Second Chances," she'll join him in his quest to take down Constantin Kovar, but can the daughter of the villainous Ra's really be trusted?
"We have a pretty cool storyline that we’ve concocted," says showrunner Wendy Mericle, "and I’m actually really excited about where it takes her. It’s basically tied to Oliver’s past in Russia and also in figuring out who Prometheus is. She will be a crucial part of that." Are you excited for her debut?
In his quest to take down Kovar, Oliver (Stephen Amell) gets help from a surprising source – Talia al Ghul (guest star Lexa Doig). However, when she reveals what she wants from him in exchange, Oliver isn’t sure he can accept her help. Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) attempts to hack the NSA to help free Diggle (David Ramsey) but when her online efforts are flagged, she faces off against an unknown adversary. Meanwhile, Curtis (Echo Kellum) tells the team about a female vigilante, Tina Boland (guest star Juliana Harkavay), he uncovered online who has been wreaking havoc all over the country. Mark Bunting directed the episode written by Speed Weed & Sarah Tarkoff.
