Crime is down, people feel safer, and Captain Lance even calls off the Anti-Vigilante Task Force. Oliver believes he can finally have a private life and asks Felicity out on a date. But the second Oliver takes his eye off the ball, a deadly villain reappears in Starling, forcing Oliver to realize that he can never be Oliver Queen – not as long as the city needs The Arrow. In Season Three, Oliver faces an even greater threat, when another lethal face emerges from his dark and tortured past – Ra’s Al Ghul!
The Atom is coming, Katana is coming, and by episode's end, we're teased with the arrival of Captain Boomerang, making "Draw Back Your Bow" an intriguing addition to the series, despite some rather clumsy misfires.
"Draw Back Your Bow" ultimately succeeds in giving Arrow's uneven season a bit of a shot in the arm. That being said, it also really highlights the elements that are not working in the show's current dynamics.
The episode gets much better when it lets Diggle butt out of his friends' love lives; Oliver may be terrible at articulating his personal feelings, but his experiences with Cupid do force him toward at least a few brief moments' honesty.
Though "Draw Back Your Bow" didn't leave us with any massive cliffhangers as we await the Arrow/The Flash crossover, it did a nice job of pleasing fans of the show's comicbook origins and its relationships of ever-increasing drama.
