Green Arrow And Lance Are Up Against An All-Female Supervillain Team In "The Sin-Eater" Synopsis

02/02/2017 10:37 pm EST

The CW has released the official synopsis for "The Sin-Eater," February 22's episode of Arrow.

You can check it out below.

China White (guest star Kelly Hu), Cupid (guest star Amy Gumenick) and Liza Warner (guest star Rutina Wesley) break out of Iron Heights and head to Star City for revenge. Oliver (Stephen Amell) tries to bring in the newly formed girl gang but the ACU intervenes mid-fight. To his surprise, they are there to arrest the Green Arrow for the murder of Detective Malone. Meanwhile, Lance (Paul Blackthorne) feels responsible for the prison break after Warner tells him she heard about him working with Damien Darhk.

Mary Lambert directed the episode written by Barbara Bloom & Jenny Lynn.

In the comics, of course, Oliver Queen is a notorious ladies' man. While that hasn't been a major part of his role on Arrow, certainly most long-time fans wouldn't have been surprised if you told them, without context, that he would be squaring off against an all-female supervillain team.

The characters are essentially operating as an anti-Birds of Prey in the episode, and like Arrow's take on the Suicide Squad before it might be a bit of a tease for the kind of chemistry fans will see in Gotham City Sirens.
