In the preview for the episode, titled Uprising, Oliver is seen back in his action suit, in his avatar as the Arrow.

"A homecoming like no other," runs the tagline. Meanwhile, Brick (Vinnie Jones) is seen creating havoc in the city, and it seems like only Oliver will be able to put a stop to the chaos. Laurel (Katie Cassidy) is also seen as the Black Canary, taking down Brickwell's army of antagonists.

Speaking to Variety, the show's executive producer Marc Guggenheim revealed that they need to take three episodes to imagine, for fans, a Starling City without Arrow, and how the team would operate in his absence. "Because it's such a huge thing that happens in nine, we really needed three episodes to give it its due because those three episodes-10, 11 and 12-really are a trilogy dealing with the very real question of, 'if there is no Arrow in Starling City, who is going to save the city?'" Guggenheim said.

The synopsis for the next episode, Midnight City, reveals that Arsenal will discourage Laurel from taking on the mantle of the Black Canary, as it is fraught with danger.

After the surprising mid-season premiere of the CW series, which shows Oliver in flashbacks, fans are excited about how the rest of the chapter will pan out. The next episode, titled Midnight City, will show Diggle and Arsenal warning Laurel and trying to stop her from wearing the suit of the Canary. But as Brick (Vinnie Jones) is set to take over the Glades and launch another dark phase, the team will have to go all out in full force, which might make Diggle and Arsenal reconsider Laurel's decision, as they might need her to help fight Brick.

Midnight City will release on January 28 at 8 p.m. E.T. on the CW.
