If there's one thing that all DC Comics fans know, it's that you don't mess with Ra's al Ghul.
The leader of the League of Assassins is one scary dude no matter who portrays him on TV or in movies, and Arrow's version is no different.
The so-far-rather-absentee big bad of season three (played by Matt Nable) makes his epic return in the midseason finale of the CW hit superhero show tonight, and while the fans have been eagerly awaiting this moment, it's one that Oliver (Stephen Amell) has been seriously dreading.
Oliver knows that Ra's is bad news, and even though they both want to find the identity of Sara's (Caity Lotz) murderer, it's pretty safe to say they're going about it in drastically different ways...and we've got your exclusive first look at the episode to prove it!
Ra's' daughter Nyssa (Katrina Law) returns to Starling City to deliver an ominous message to Oliver: he's taking too long in his search for Sara's killer. Both Nyssa (Sara's ex) and her father want Oliver to deliver results, and they've got a pretty terrifying way to motivate Oliver...threaten the people of his city.
We're kind of surprised this shared tragedy hasn't brought Nyssa and Oliver closer together, since they share so much in common—they're both vigilantes, they both wear elaborate costumes and they both loved the same woman—but it looks like blood is thicker than water for the daughter and heir to the demon.
Watch the intense sneak peek at Nyssa and Oliver's confrontation above now!
Arrow airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on The CW.
