The pair go after a set of armored trucks, but Helena is captured by the police when it is revealed to have been a trap.

Oliver discovers the truth and manages to stop Helena from killing her father, but when McKenna arrives, Helena shoots her and escapes. In the hospital, McKenna reveals to Oliver that she plans to move to Coast City for her rehab, effectively ending their relationship.

In a flashback to the island, Oliver and Slade steal a circuit board to a missile launcher from Fyers and attempt to leverage it as a means to get off the island.
Episode 10 Burned
This is the classic, "My hero activities have gotten people hurt". BUT THEN "More people get hurt if I don't put the suit on" Spoken by every hero at some point in the comics in way or another.
Interesting take on Firefly. this DC character has shown up many places over the years. But this was one of the few characters I hated in the Batman Animated series. At some point they played the "FLY" aspect way too much in the voice. The other was just thuggish.
IMDB SUMMARY - Oliver's confidence is shaken after being beaten by the Dark Archer and he takes a break from being Arrow. However, when Laurel calls Arrow for help investigating a firefighter's suspicious death, he reluctantly agrees but his hesitance while fighting almost costs him his life. Meanwhile, Tommy throws a benefit for the firefighters and Thea tries to lift Moira out of her depressive state.
WIKI SUMMARY
Six weeks after his fight with the mysterious archer, Oliver avoids any activities as his vigilante alter-ego, despite insistence from Diggle that the city needs him. When a firefighter is killed in the line of duty, Laurel suspects that he was murdered and steals the phone the vigilante gave her father in order to contact him for help. Tracking down the suspect, Oliver is bested during the confrontation, but discovers that the murderer is a firefighter. Oliver confesses to Diggle that he has lost his edge, as he now has people he worries about losing should anything happen to him, something he did not have to fear when he first returned from the island. Diggle challenges Oliver that having people to live for is more of an edge than having no one. Oliver learns that the murderer is Garfield Lynns, a firefighter thought to have died in a massive fire several years prior, but who survived with severe burns over his entire body. Garfield shows up at a charity gala for the firefighters intent on getting revenge against the fire chief for not sending backup in the night of his injury. Although Oliver saves the chief, Garfield commits suicide by burning himself. Detective Lance discovers Laurel's deception and plants a listening device on the phone to monitor her communications with the vigilante.
Episode 12 Vertigo January 30, 2013
Once again Arrow reinvents the wheel - in other words another DC Character is presented completely different than we have ever seen. This time, not so bad. In general I like the way they have created new bad guy characters based on classic but reinvented for today's world. This time "THE COUNT" is not a politician or super villain with dizzying sounds waves etc, but a drug dealer selling VERTIGO.

WIKI SUMMARY
At her arraignment, Thea attempts to enter into a plea bargain with the district attorney, but determined to set an example for the Vertigo drug dealers, the judge dismisses the plea and orders the charges brought to trial. In an attempt to help Thea, Oliver begins working on tracking down the supplier; he eventually discovers that the supplier goes by "The Count", and he arranges a meeting through his contacts with the Russian mob. The meeting is broken up by the police, and the Count injects Oliver with a concentrated dose of Vertigo when the latter attempts to follow him. While overdosing, Oliver has flashbacks to the island, and Yao Fei pretending to kill him in front of Fyers so that he can help Oliver to escape captivity. Diggle takes Oliver back to his hideout and uses medicinal herbs Oliver brought back with him from the island to fight the drug overdose. Afterward, Oliver has the drug analyzed and uses the ingredients to track the location of the Count. As the vigilante, Oliver is able to confront the Count and inject him with his own drug just as the police arrive as well. Laurel persuades her father to pull some strings and get Thea 2 years of probation and 500 hours of community service, which she begins serving at Laurel's legal office. Additionally, Felicity shows Oliver the list of names that Walter discovered, and informs him that they came from his mother.
IMDB SUMMARY
Thea is about to go to trial for being under the influence but she doesn't care because she is convinced that her mother was unfaithful to her father. Oliver tries to tell her the truth and he decides to go after who is behind the drug that she was on called Vertigo. So he tracks down one of the dealers and gets him to say who is the one behind it and he gets the name The Count. He eventually goes after him but the Count gives him some Vertigo which nearly kills him.
Episode 9 Year's End
I love how this show brings in the DC universe in depth through the flashbacks. Tao Fei captured by Edward Fyers. Adam Hunt survived the Hood, only to be killed now by his doppelganger (Watch out Vampire Diaries). Detective Lance is nobody's fool and right away figures out the different MO. The action sequences of the Archer v Archer battle is awesome. For those that don't know previously we all know now that Merlyn is the Dark Archer. (If you have not seen it yet, watch this ANIMATED SHORT from DCUA with cool Archer Dual).
WIKI SUMMARY
Adam Hunt is killed by a mysterious archer; Detective Lance deduces that a copycat is at work, but his superior publicly blames the hooded vigilante. Oliver plans a Christmas party at the mansion to bring back the spirit of the holidays to his family, to which Tommy invites Laurel. A flashback shows Yao Fei's capture of Edward Fyers, who tells Oliver that the island was a prison for dangerous criminals and that his unit was tasked to exterminate the prisoners, including Yao Fei. Yao Fei is captured by Fyers's men while leading Oliver to a possible escape from the island. In the present, Oliver saves some hostages from the mysterious archer, and the two archers are injured after fighting. The mysterious archer gets away but is revealed to be Malcolm Merlyn, Tommy's father. Walter is kidnapped by one of Malcolm's associates to ensure that Moira will not interfere with Malcolm's organization's plans for the city. While recovering in the hospital, Oliver swears to take down the man he believes is behind the archer.
IMDB SUMMARY
