'Arrow' Season 5 episode 4 preview: A prison break and a team divided

The team will be split in “Arrow” Season 5 episode 4. Oliver considers a prison break, which will be opposed by the new recruits. Meanwhile, the villain Tobias Church is planning something big in Star City.

[Spoiler alert]

A preview video of the next episode posted on YouTube shows a concerned Oliver (Stephen Amell) preparing for a prison break to free John Diggle (David Ramsey). Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards), however, is not so sure about this plan. Getting him out without proving his innocence would mean that he will have to live out his life as a fugitive from law, she contends.

But, the bigger problem is from the recruits. The team feels so strongly about Oliver breaking into a military prison that they will fight him to stop the plan. Curtis Holt (Echo Kellum) is slowly stepping into his role as Mr. Terrific, and he can be seen getting increasingly assertive in “Arrow” Season 5.

It has been a long journey for Curtis from sitting behind the computer and helping Oliver to preparing to fight crime on the streets. The next episode will be another step in the slow evolution of the character. He boldly tells Oliver that he will not let the superhero go through with his plan.

A surprised Oliver asks to confirm if Curtis said he wouldn’t “let” the superhero break Diggle out of prison. Then a fight breaks out between the new recruits and their trainer in the video. The team is no match for Oliver, and he is later seen entering the jail cell where his friend is being kept.

While Oliver is busy getting Diggle out of prison, Tobias Church (Chad L. Coleman) is planning “something big” in “Arrow” Season 5 episode 4. There will be more action and gun fights in the next episode, and the blood on a hockey mask suggests someone will get seriously injured.
