Complete story — includes the ending
Following the Glades' destruction and Tommy Merlyn 's death, Oliver Queen returns to Lian Yu alone as penance for failing his city and Tommy. Felicity Smoak and John Diggle arrive and convince Oliver to return, informing him that his mother, Moira, is awaiting trial and that Queen Consolidated is under threat of takeover and dissolution by Isabel Rochev. Laurel Lance is now working for the District Attorney. Oliver learns a group of vigilantes dressed like "The Hood" are murdering others as earthquake retribution. They target Oliver twice before kidnapping his sister, Thea. Oliver saves her without killing anyone, leaving the vigilantes for Quentin Lance, who has been demoted to patrol officer. Roy Harper, also trying to protect the Glades, is rescued by an unknown female vigilante. Using Walter Steele 's help, Oliver saves his company and forces Rochev to accept a partnership. Thea reconciles with Moira. Oliver decides to honor Tommy's memory both by becoming a hero in Starling City and finding a new name for his alter ego. In a flashback, Oliver, Shado, and Slade Wilson encounter new armed men after months of believing they are alone. The newcomers are revealed to be searching specific graves.
