Complete story — includes the ending

Six weeks after his fight with Malcolm, Oliver has paused all vigilante activity, despite insistence from Diggle. When a firefighter is killed in the line of duty, Laurel suspects that he was murdered and steals the phone the vigilante gave Quentin in order to contact him for help. Tracking down the suspect, Oliver is overpowered during the confrontation, but discovers that the murderer is Garfield Lynns, a firefighter thought to have died in a massive fire several years prior who survived with severe burns. In order to kill the fire chief, Lynns attends a fundraiser held to support the victims. As the vigilante, Oliver saves the chief just before Lynns commits suicide. The media calls the vigilante a hero; Oliver opts to resume his hunt of the list members. Moira decides to take over for Walter as Queen Consolidated's CEO. Quentin plants a listening device on the burner phone to monitor Laurel's communications with the vigilante. Flashbacks show Oliver killing a mercenary, wearing his uniform, and recovering his tools, including a map.
