Crime is down, people feel safer, and Captain Lance even calls off the Anti-Vigilante Task Force. Oliver believes he can finally have a private life and asks Felicity out on a date. But the second Oliver takes his eye off the ball, a deadly villain reappears in Starling, forcing Oliver to realize that he can never be Oliver Queen – not as long as the city needs The Arrow. In Season Three, Oliver faces an even greater threat, when another lethal face emerges from his dark and tortured past – Ra’s Al Ghul!
Like so much of "Left Behind," this is Arrow in a bit of a holding pattern-an inevitability until Oliver comes home-but the new pieces on display bode well for the back half of season three.
In successfully exorcising the central character for a good portion of the hour, "Left Behind" shows itself to be a greatly dexterous installment of television.
Here's hoping that some of the DC mythology bleeds its way into next week's episode by way of explanation, because for a mid-season premiere, this episode was only so-so.
