Arrow’: ‘Second Chances’ Review

Arrow 511

Arrow 511Arrow began a new chapter this week as Oliver Queen is ready to find the next woman to take on the mantle of Black Canary, to honor his promise to Laurel Lance. While the team is recommending him several candidates, Oliver isn’t satisfied. Curtis, however, shows the team a woman that he has been following online, Tina Boland, the same person we saw at the bar last week. She is a vigilante who has been all over the country saving people.

Through flashbacks, we learn the story of how Tina got her sonic scream. She was a cop three years ago in Central City and one night she and her partner were taken by a mobster group. As the partner is killed, the particle accelerator explosion is sending out energy waves and we see Tina getting her sonic scream. Back in the present, she is approached by Green Arrow, Mr. Terrific and Wild Dog as they offer her to join the team, but Tina isn’t interested. Tina is determined to take down the man that killed her partner, but as she tracks down Sonus and tries to stop him, he uses his meta-power in the form of Vertigo.

Oliver offers to help her, with no strings attached and she accepts his help. Together with Team Green Arrow, they take out Sonus’ men and Tina aims a gun at Sonus, despite Oliver trying to talk her out of it. However, she won’t listen and she kills Sonus. At the end of the episode, Tina comes to Star City and visits Oliver’s office where the two have a chat about not dealing with pain alone. As she agrees to join the team, Tina reveals her real name as “Tina Boland” was just a cover name when she did undercover work back in her police days.

In flashbacks, Oliver gets to know Talia Al Ghul better who saved him last week. We learn that she trained Yao Fei, Shado’s father from the island, and is there to encourage Oliver to do more than just be a Bratva member. She reminds Oliver of his father’s list and what he has to do in Star City. Talia advices Oliver to let the monster inside of him take over
