'Arrow' Season 2, Episode 6, 'Keep Your Enemies Closer' Spoilers: Deadshot Returns! Stephen Amell, Olicity, Diggle Tease Fans [VIDEO]
"Arrow" Season 2, Episode 6, "Keep Your Enemies Closer" is a Diggle-centric episode, says Stephen Amell and Emily Bett Rickards, who are popularly known to Arrow shippers as Olicity. David Ramsey, who plays Diggle (Dig), takes an Olicity video for social media fans and "his" special episode. On Twitter, Amell issued a "warning" two hours before the episode airs on The CW.
Spoiler alert: This feature contains minor spoilers for those who have not seen "Arrow" Season 2, Episode 6, "Keep Your Enemies Closer." A.R.G.U.S. of the DC Comics universe figures in this Dig special.
In DC Comics, A.R.G.U.S. means "Advanced Research Group Uniting Super-Humans." This agency supports and liaises with the Justice League. In Arrow Season 2, Episode 6, ARGUS recruits Dig (David Ramsey) for a rescue job outside Starling City, specifically in Moscow. Stephen Amell "warns" the viewers:

On TV.com, Arrow 2x06 "Keep Your Enemies Closer" is summarised as follows: "A.R.G.U.S. recruits Diggle to rescue Lyla (Audrey Marie Anderson), who has disappeared in Moscow following a lead on Deadshot. Oliver and Felicity volunteer to go with their friend, but run into trouble when Isabel (Summer Glau) insists on accompanying them. Meanwhile, Moira's (Susanna Thompson) attorney suggests that Thea (Willa Holland) stop dating Roy (Colton Haynes) because it's hurting Moira's defense."
Here is the Facebook video featuring Stephen Amell and Emily Bett Rickards, filmed by David Ramsey.
Olicity, despite the ship's popularity, fails to make it to the final set of nominees for Favourite On-Screen Chemistry on People's Choice Awards 2014. This may be attributed to the DC Comics not really bonding the two the way Arrow Season 1 did. In Season 2, there have been a few moments, but Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) just has way too many fierce and lovely girls in his circle.
Stephen Amell is nominated at the People's Choice 2014 under the Favourite Sci-Fi/Fantasy TV Actor. He's competing with fellow The CW actors: Ian Somerhalder ("The Vampire Diaries"), Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles (both from "Supernatural"). The fifth nominee is from AMC's "The Walking Dead," Andrew Lincoln. (Vote in the PCA 2014 site.)
"Keep Your Enemies Closer" Takes A Break from Black Canary Arc
Caity Lotz is not reprising her Black Canary role for this episode. But Michael Rowe is back as Deadshot. Knowing how Diggle hates every bit of this villain, viewers can expect some intense scenes featuring David Ramsey.
