Complete story — includes the ending
Oliver informs Nyssa that Sara is dead; Nyssa reveals that Sara was sent by the League to confirm Merlyn is still alive. After tracking Merlyn, Oliver agrees to meet him in a public location, where Merlyn tells Oliver that he did not kill Sara, having only returned to Starling City for Thea. Nyssa kidnaps Thea in an attempt to draw out Merlyn, known by the League as the "Magician", but Oliver arrives to rescue her. Merlyn arrives shortly after to clear his name and insinuates to Nyssa that it was Ra's who had Sara murdered. Nyssa does not believe him, but Oliver does and vows to protect Merlyn for as long as he is in Starling. Nyssa warns Oliver that he has made a serious enemy of the League before leaving and reporting back to Ra's. Quentin gets worried about Sara's status. In flashbacks, Oliver completes his first assassination and learns that Waller was behind Edward Fyers ' actions on Lian Yu, where her intent had been to shoot down Chien Na Wei's flight. But since Oliver stopped the attack, Waller demands he help her find out the reason behind Chien's presence in Hong Kong.
