Last night, when I wrote up an article focused on the first trailer for next week’s episode of Arrow, “Level Two,” not only did I say photos would likely be right around the corner, but I did warn of the possibility that they’d focus on something other than what was covered in the promo video. If you’ll recall, the footage primarily centered on Oliver Queen’s stint at Slabside and the new Emerald Archer continuing on making an impact on the outside.
Well, my suspicion of a different plot thread being teased proved correct, as nobody wearing a green hood – past or present – can be found in the promotional gallery. In fact, whatever’s going on has to do with Wild Dog’s daughter being hospitalized. Actually, this’ll eventually get the attention of the new Green Arrow himself, though it remains unclear how it’ll all tie together.
What’ll no doubt catch your eye as you peruse the slideshow is the return of Beebo, a stuffed animal originating from Legends of Tomorrow. I’m assuming this’ll be a running gag put on by Arrowverse producers, even though I’m convinced they’re overestimating the mascot’s popularity. Regardless, I’m sure Rene’s daughter will appreciate the gift from Curtis.
Also of interest is Felicity Smoak interacting with the Silencer, a member of the Longbow Hunters who looks to be in captivity. One can only wonder if Mrs. Arrow will lose her cool in her pursuit of Ricardo Diaz and get physical during the confrontation, as she’s pretty much lost her patience in recent weeks.
For more on “Level Two,” be sure to check out the official synopsis:
RULES ARE MADE TO BE BROKEN — Oliver (Stephen Amell) makes a drastic move in his quest to find Diaz (Kirk Acevedo).

Meanwhile, when arsonists target Rene’s (Rick Gonzalez) community center, injuring Zoe (guest star Eliza Faria) in the process, the mysterious new Green Arrow swoops in to help save the day. Faced with pressure from the mayor to capture the vigilante, Dinah (Juliana Harkavy) must decide if following the rules at all costs is the best plan to keep the city safe.
