In the next episode of "Arrow," the returning Slade Wilson a.k.a. Deathstroke (Manu Bennett) enlists the help of Oliver Queen a.k.a. Green Arrow (Stephen Amell) to help him track down his young boy Joe (William Franklyn-Miller).

The trailer for the upcoming installment titled "Deathstroke Returns" was released just recently and showed Wilson telling Queen that he needs his skills and expertise to help him locate his missing son. Queen asks one of his contacts who says that the boy was caught snooping around a restricted area. It turns out that the area belonged to a formidable group of mercenaries. Wilson and Queen go to their stronghold and then confront the Warden (Paul Cowling) about the missing boy. The lead mercenary however replies, "The situation is complicated." The Arrow motions to the Warden and threatens him not to make Deathstroke angry.

However, the mercenaries do not heed the warning which prompts Wilson to retaliate and take down their group. Deathstroke uses his guns and knives to eliminate each enemy one by one. He kicks one of the private soldiers who flies across the room while another one gets slammed on the ground. It remains to be seen if Wilson will be able to reclaim his missing son and if they can get out of there alive.

In related news, David Ramsey who plays John Diggle on the show dished recently about a spoiler later in the season. He said that fans could expect to see Tommy Merlyn (Colin Donnell) to make an appearance in the Arrowverse crossover episodes among the four shows namely "Arrow," "Supergirl," "The Flash," and "Legends of Tomorrow." Ramsey confirmed it when he saw the latest edits of the crossover installments.

"Arrow" season 6 episode 5 will hit the airwaves on Thursday, Nov. 9 at 10 p.m. EST on The CW.
