The CW have released a synopsis for the upcoming, third episode of Arrow's third season, "Corto Maltese."

In the episode, Diggle tracks "Manhunter" Mark Shaw, who has gone missing while on a mission for A.R.G.U.S., and Laurel encounters Ted "Wildcat" Grant, who will help guide her on the way to being the next Canary.

Team Arrow is surprised to find that Shaw isn't all he's cracked up to be, though, and it seems there may be a little Dumas in him after all.

(Too bad they already killed off Kate Spencer, then...!)

You can check out the official synopsis below. The episode airs on October 22, while Arrow returns October 8 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.

OLIVER SEARCHES FOR THEA IN CORTO MALTESE WHILE DIGGLE TRACKS  A.R.G.U.S. AGENT MARK SHAW — Oliver (Stephen Amell) decides it's time for Thea (Willa Holland) to come back to Starling City, so he packs for Corto Maltese, where Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) has traced Thea's whereabouts.  Lyla (guest star Audrey Marie Anderson) asks Diggle (David Ramsey) to go with Oliver because one of her field operatives, Mark Shaw (guest star David Cubitt), has gone dark in Corto Maltese and she'd like him to look into it.  Feeling responsible for Thea's departure, Roy (Colton Haynes) joins Oliver and Diggle on their journey.  Shaw double-crosses Diggle, putting numerous A.R.G.U.S. agents, including Lyla, at risk.  Meanwhile, Laurel (Katie Cassidy) meets Ted Grant (J.R. Ramirez), and Felicity adjusts to her new job.  Stephen Surjik directed the episode written by Erik Oleson & Beth Schwartz (#303).  Original airdate 10/22/2014.
