In the next episode of "Arrow," John Diggle a.k.a. Spartan (David Ramsey) takes over Oliver Queen's (Stephen Amell) alter-ego as the Green Arrow.
The trailer for the upcoming installment titled "Next of Kin" was released just recently and showed Queen confiding with his old friend Diggle. "You can be a better hero that I ever was," Queen tells the new Green Arrow. Apparently, Queen wants Diggle to take over his superhero mantle because there are a lot of people in government and in the press that are watching his every move. Later, Diggle is shown wearing the Green Arrow uniform and tells his team including Curtis Holt a.k.a. Mr. Terrific (Echo Kellum), Rene Ramirez a.k.a. Wild Dog (Rick Gonzalez), and Dinah Drake a.k.a. Black Canary (Juliana Harkavy) at headquarters to carry out the mission.
The team apparently is happy for the new Green Arrow but is not quite used to him yet. "Did he forget to say 'suit up?' Or was his 'move out' his version of 'suit up?'" Holt asks his other teammates. Ramirez, however, thinks that Diggle is in way over his head. As the new replacement, he may be biting off more than he can chew when it comes to the missions. However, Diggle tells Team Arrow, "You better get used to it."
In the last episode, the FBI and the press were all over Queen regarding the picture that exposed him as the Green Arrow. However, it was later revealed that the picture was not authentic and was maliciously released in the media. The identity of Arrow was safe once again but Queen decided to let Diggle take over in order to avoid any scrutiny from the public.
"Arrow" season 6 episode 3 will hit airwaves on Thursday, Oct. 26 at 9 p.m. EDT on The CW.
