SPOILERS/NSFW - DC on SCREEN #216 - Arrow 5x01 - Legacy | Recap & Review - Ollie is Mayor, but he’s not doing a very good job of it.  Thea is covering for him a lot, and finding herself flourishing in the role. Felicity is the only person still helping with nightly crime fighting activities, but is hard pressed to convince Ollie that the old team isn’t coming back, that he should move on and train new people—such as all the new vigilantes running around town having been inspired by the Green Arrow.

Ollie’s kidnapped at the unveiling of Laurel’s Black Canary statue.  Tobias Church really wants to take Green Arrow down.  Lance pulls himself out of the bottle to pull some strings and get a police task force in hand to help take Church down.

In flashbacks, Russians tell Oliver an old proverb that lines up with what he needs to remember in the present while setting up the bratva story.

Oh, and Felicity is dating Detective Billy Malone.
