Arrow: The Promise Extended Promo Released Online

Following tonight's cliffhanger ending, a new, 30-second teaser has been released for next week's episode of Arrow, titled "The Promise." With Slade Wilson having made his presence in the modern day known to Oliver at the end of this week's episode, "The Promise" sees Oliver's old-friend-turned-foe tell him that he made a promise back on the island, and now he's here in Oliver's home to fulfill it. Sara marshals the forces, bringing Roy to the fight so that they can pit two super-soldiers against one another, while Oliver and Slade trade knowing stares and mutter threats to each other while trying to keep up appearances for Thea and Moira. You can check out the trailer, as well as the official episode description, below. "The Promise" airs next Wednesday at 8 p.m. EST and PST.

THE TURNING POINT — Oliver (Stephen Amell) is shocked when he learns that Slade (Manu Bennett) has come to Starling City. Back on the island, as Oliver, Slade and Sara (Caity Lotz) prepare to take over the freighter from Ivo (guest star Dylan Neal), Sara pulls Oliver aside and tells him he needs to kill Ivo to prevent him from telling Slade what happened with Shado. Oliver feels immense guilt over the situation but realizes Slade's growing rage from the Mirakuru makes him unpredictable and he could turn on his friends if he thinks Oliver is to blame. Oliver agrees to kill Ivo and the battle begins. Glen Winter directed the episode written by Jake Coburn & Ben Sokolowski
