Arrow: Green Arrow

"Felicity Smoak... you have failed this omelet."

- Oliver Queen

"Green Arrow" is the first episode of season four of the superhero action series Arrow and the seventieth episode of the series overall. It was directed by Thor Freudenthal with a script written by Marc Guggenheim and Wendy Mericle based on a story treatment by Greg Berlanti and Beth Schwartz. It first aired on the CW Network on Wednesday, October 7th, 2015. Six months have passed since Oliver Queen's final encounter with Ra's al Ghul, and he has been living an idyllic life with Felicity in the picturesque Ivy Town. However, Team Arrow is not having quite as happy a time over in Star City (Yes, STAR City), as a rogue band of hijackers known as the Ghosts are wreaking havoc. This is all to usher in the city's latest criminal mastermind, Damien Darhk.
