Flashbacks chronicle the death of Merlyn's wife, him killing the man believed to have murdered Rebecca, and his journey to the League to seek training. In the present, Oliver decides to return to Starling City. Tatsu informs him that, if he wants to defeat Ra's, he will need to seek swordsman training from a student like Maseo. With the police out of the Glades, Roy and Laurel are tasked with fighting Brick's men to keep the peace. To help track down Brick's location, Quentin gives the team all the information the police have on Brick. Merlyn spies on the group as they review the evidence against Brick, thereby discovering that Brick was responsible for Rebecca's death. Merlyn propositions the team join forces with him to take down Brick, but they refuse. Instead, they rally the citizens of the Glades to take on Brick and his men. Merlyn overpowers Brick just before Oliver arrives, persuading him to spare Brick's life and let the police arrest him. Cindy tells Quentin that she knows the new female vigilante is not Sara. Afterwards, Oliver asks Merlyn to train him so that he can take on Ra's.
