You might suspect the new company head Walter Steele to be up to no good. After all he has married Oliver's mother.
However it is his mother who had something to do with the shipwreck and sent some goons in the first episode to attack Oliver. Just in case he knows something.
His ex girlfriend Laurel is a legal crusader and want to take businessman Martin Somers to court. A name that is on Oliver's list. However Somers has links with the Chinese Triad and soon Laurel finds herself in danger.
Oliver reprises his carefree drunk persona in order to separate him from the vengeful The Hood.
Obviously Arrow wants to have an arc instead of just a generic story of the week approach. Here the DC character of China White is introduced as a villain who is sent by the Triad. Oliver has a bodyguard John Diggle hired by his mother to supposedly protect her son. Now Oliver needs to get away from his minder if The Hood is supposed to save the city.
We also find out more as to what happen to Oliver at the island in flashbacks and how he might have become an ace archer.
