"Arrow" will return next week for its 10th episode titled "Left Behind." Shocking things happened in the mid-season finale and these would trigger more breathtaking events in Starling City that will involve the show's supporting characters. So, to help you prepare for the return, here's your "Arrow" Season 3 episode guide.
With Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) presumed dead, someone has to take up the mantle. Well, the Green Arrow won't run out of substitute. There's Roy Harper (Colton Haynes), possibly Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy), and Roy Palmer (Brandon Routh). Oh, do not forget, Oliver's long time side kick John Diggle (David Ramsey) is very capable of fighting crimes, too.
Based on "Arrow" Season 3 episode guide released, as well as the promotional photos and trailers that came out, Oliver will remain missing in action. This would give criminals the chance to operate freely but not for long because David and the other guys won't let the city tear apart.
The synopsis for "Arrow" Season 3 'Left Behind' episode reads:
"THE TEAM DEALS WITH OLIVER'S DISAPPEARANCE - In the aftermath of Oliver's (Stephen Amell) fight with Ra's al Ghul (Matt Nable), Diggle (David Ramsey) and Arsenal (Colton Haynes) continue to protect the city in the Arrow's absence. However, after three days without hearing from Oliver, they begin to fear the worst may have happened to their friend."
Many think that this episode will be David Ramsey's big moment. His character Diggle is the one who has spent the longest time in Ollie's side. He even accompanied him in his most dangerous missions. "Left Behind" episode do not just mark the rise of Diggle. For Ramsey, it will also be one of the most important events on TV.
"Well, for me, it's important for employment," the 43-year old American actor said when asked what it means that his character is African-American.
"Aside from that, it is important. You hit on a very serious issue," he continued.
"It's important for television as a whole to see this man as probably the second in command on Team Arrow with a wife, potential wife and a child, well-adjusted to his time overseas as a soldier."
"That's an important story no matter what color he is, but particularly if he's African-American, and particularly in the DC world, in the comic book world in general. So I'm proud of him. I'm proud also that he's part of the DC lore. He's now part of the DC canon. And that 15 years from now this is an honorable soldier, an honorable person in this DC universe that can be played by someone else, that has an existence of his own, that started here."
