The CW has just released a synopsis for Arrow's upcoming twelfth episode, titled "Uprising," which airs on February 4.

In this episode, it seems as though Stephen Amell may not even appear in the flashbacks, with that aspect focusing on the fall of Malcolm Merlyn following the murder of his wife.

Check it out below.

"Uprising" — (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET) (TV-14, V) (HDTV)

MALCOLM MAKES AN OFFER TO HELP TEAM ARROW Still operating without Oliver (Stephen Amell) and desperate to stop Brick (guest star Vinnie Jones), Team Arrow is forced to consider Malcolm's (John Barrowman) offer to help shut Brick down as Malcolm has a personal score to settle with the felon. Roy (Colton Haynes) and Laurel (Katie Cassidy) point out that the team could use some help to save the innocents of The Glades, but Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) is adamantly against it. They look to Diggle to make the final decision. Meanwhile, the flashbacks chronicle Malcolm's descent from kind-hearted father and husband to cold-blooded killer after the murder of his wife. Jesse Warn directed the episode written by Beth Schwartz & Brian Ford Sullivan (#312). Original airdate 2/4/2015.
