Arrow Season 3, Episode 13 Synopsis: Canaries

Sara Lance is back! Okay, not really.

More from TV

But Laurel Lance is still going to have to deal with the ghost of her sister, both figuratively and literally, in this week’s new episode of Arrow, “Canaries.” The Arrow isn’t too pleased that Laurel has turned into Black Canary, and the return of a familiar villain with the power to make people face their worst fears is going to make the internal conflict that the surviving Lance sister already feels into something both real and deadly.

Plus, Roy Harper hasn’t given up on his weird flip-flopping when it comes to Malcolm Merlyn. Though he was the lone vote in favor of teaming up with the Dark Archer last week, it seems he now wants Thea Queen not to hang with her dad.

Check out all of this in the official synopsis for “Canaries” from The CW:

"Oliver (Stephen Amell) is thrown by the changes within Team Arrow. He’s used to calling the shots but sees that the team has evolved in his absence and tensions quickly escalate in the lair. Oliver is furious that Laurel (Katie Cassidy) has been going out as the Black Canary and tells her to stop risking her life, but when Vertigo (guest star Peter Stormare) hits the streets again, Laurel goes against Oliver’s wishes and tracks down Vertigo who hits her with a full dose of the drug. Laurel’s biggest fears revolve around her sister Sara (guest star Caity Lotz) so the Vertigo causes her to hallucinate an epic fight between Canary and Black Canary. Meanwhile, Chase (guest star Austin Butler) surprises Thea (Willa Holland), and Roy (Colton Haynes) warns Thea to stay away from Malcolm (John Barrowman). Michael Schultz directed the episode written by Jake Coburn & Emilia Ortega Aldrich."

That summary didn’t even mention the plot point I’m most looking forward to, which is Ray Palmer getting ever closer to finishing his ATOM suit — or at least getting it to the point where it can take on something more formidable than inflatable clowns.

“Canaries” airs Wednesday night at 8 pm on The CW, and we’ll have our recap up quicker than Oliver Queen recovered from getting a sword run through his chest. And later Wednesday night, make sure to check out the Arrow After Show on theStream.tv, where you can get in on the discussion and possibly have your question answered live by the hosts if you tweet them with the hashtag #ArrowAfterShow.
