In the next episode of "Arrow," Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) struggles to cover up his superhero alter-ego, Green Arrow, from the press.
The trailer for the upcoming installment titled "Tribute" was recently released and showed Mayor Queen going in front of the press and declaring that he is not the Green Arrow. The snapping cameras and pesky reporters continue to hound him as he enters the building. His compatriot, John Diggle (David Ramsey), tells the team "My best friend is currently under a microscope by everyone in the city and he FBI." Later, the director at the bureau confronts Queen and tells him bluntly, "You were on the news last night wearing the outfit of a known criminal." However, Queen replies, "I'm not the man you think I am." The FBI director looks at him with distrust and skepticism.
Queen's hands are full trying to juggle his responsibilities as the mayor of the city, the leader of Team Arrow, and as the father of a boy he is just starting to know. It remains to be seen how Queen will be able to escape the scrutiny of the people and the authorities at the FBI.
In the last episode, Team Arrow caught a snag with Laurel Lance a.k.a. Black Siren (Katie Cassidy) when she infiltrated their headquarters and stole something of importance. They also encountered her on a bridge and fought with her and her henchmen. The fight unfortunately was caught on a street camera which identified Queen in his Green Arrow costume. He took off his mask while the camera was rolling.
Queen and the team were taken aback by this development because this might jeopardize the secrecy of their group and their missions.
"Arrow" season 6 episode 2 will hit the airwaves on Thursday, Oct. 19 at 9 p.m. EDT on The CW.
