Synopsis[]
Green Arrow converses with the Mayor of Star City over how things should proceed after the most recent demonic infestation. Widespread funerals are being commemorated all across the city, and organized crime is experiencing a radical shake-up. As everyone rushes to fill the void left open by many of the deceased crime lords, Connor Hawke jumps into the thick of it, assisting the Star City PD capturing various criminals.
Ollie returns home and gets into an argument with Dinah. Dinah decides to break up with him, and Ollie offers no resistance. He figures that she has made up her mind and that nothing he can say will change it. Dinah calls him a "son of a bitch" and knocks him on his butt. She walks out the door leaving him on the floor.
Meanwhile, a group of corrupt cops begin muscling some of the local up-and-coming street toughs. Danny "Brick" Brickwell decides that he wants to take over Star City's mobs. The afore-mentioned corrupt police officers try muscling him, but Brick savagely murders them inside his own office.
