"Fadeout" for the final time as the Arrow television series comes to a close. Some things have changed in Star City and some things have stayed the same. But the biggest difference that everyone is feeling right now is that Oliver Queen is truly dead. His friends and family have come to mourn his passing. Sara Lance even brings Mia from the future to honor her father's memory. But as they try to cope with their loss, a man once captured by Green Arrow tries to exact his revenge by kidnapping young William. The team scours the city looking for him and contemplating their futures. Once Mia saves the day, they say their final farewell to both Oliver and the vigilante life they have been leading for all these years. Their futures may be up in the air, but in the actual future true love gets its happy ending. Jay and Josh bid adieu to the show that started it all on the series finale of Green Justice: An Arrow Podcast!
Witness the "Fadeout" of Arrow on the final episode of the series and a look back on the heroism of Oliver Queen on Green Justice: An Arrow Podcast!
It's 2040, do you know where "Green Arrow and the Canaries" are? Oliver's mantle is left in good hands. Laurel Lance, whose pre-Crisis memory is fully restored, patrols the future and discovers that if Bianca Bertinelli dies, Star City is doomed to plunge back into a crime filled city. She let's Dinah Drake in on the dark destiny and they decide to find Mia Queen, the city's sweet socialite, who has just become engaged to JJ Diggle. Everything is looking just dandy for the children of all our heroes. But when Laurel gives Mia her memories back, it plunges her into the vigilante life again. They go looking for Bianca, but the heir to the Arrow mantle becomes suspicious, even of her fiancé. Luckily, the skills of the three ladies is enough to make the rescue. But they also uncover a secret plot and a mysterious hooded figure gives JJ his dark memories back too. Looks like a Star City paradise may be short lived.

"Crisis on Infinite Earths" parts 4 and 5 picks up 10,000 years before the midseason finale where we find Mar Novu conducting the time experiment that released the Anti-Monitor and destroyed the Multiverse. The seven Paragons work to find a way to bring back everyone everywhere by traveling back and stopping it before it starts. They will need help from Oliver Queen, who is now in the form of the Spectre. After an epic battle and an epic sacrifice, everything seems to have reappeared. But there is one, very big difference: There is now a prime Earth where our heroes can easily join together to fight any menace that comes their way. And the first one they'll have to defeat is the Anti-Monitor. Jay and Josh will not fail this multiverse in the grandiose conclusion of Crisis on this week's Green Justice: An Arrow Podcast!

Lian Yu means "Purgatory". And that's where Oliver and his team have appeared. Lyla explains that this is where they will need to construct the final piece needed before Crisis begins. Rene, Dinah, and Roy are on their way to deliver plutonium when their plane is shot down by a mysterious enemy. That enemy turns out to be the late Edward Fyers and his army that Oliver supposedly killed so many years ago when he was stuck on the island. The team rushes to save their fallen friends, but Roy is pinned and they have to make a desperate sacrifice to save his life. Oliver believes it is his responsibility to take down Fyers and that's when he runs into another dead acquaintance, Yao Fe. Now the team will have to hold back the attacking army while William finishes the weapon for the Monitor. Jay and Josh confront ghosts of their past on this week's Green Justice: An Arrow Podcast!

After discovering Lyla's secret, Oliver experiences a "Reset" of his day until he gets it right. He wakes up each time right before he reunites with Quentin Lance. But each time he tries to save the day once more, Quentin dies. It isn't long before he connects with Laurel, who seems to be having the same experience. Over and over they try to prevent Lance from dying, but each time they fail. Lyla is also there, and though they don't trust her, she seems to be giving them some hints on exactly what it is they are supposed to be doing in this painful, looping nightmare. Eventually, they both have to learn to say goodbye and accept the inevitable. And he has one more mission before the Crisis arrives.

Oliver must use all his "Prochnost" as he travels to Russia to work with his children and get the Pulse Wave Generator with the help of his old friend Anatoly. First, they track down a Russian General, but when the Bratva kills him and takes what Oliver is looking for, he and Mia must go in the fight ring to prove their worth. Oleg, who now leads the Bratva, ties them up and puts Mia to the test. She almost succeeds too, but it looks like they'll have to fight their way out once again. Diggle is on his own mission. He recruits Roy for 'one last mission'. Roy becomes suspicious and realizes he's just trying to get him to come back for good. It seems like having a team might be just what he needs to contain his bloodlust. And Laurel decides to make a big revelation to the team about Lyla. Jay and Josh try to make it 5 minutes in the ring, but would much rather be drinking vodka with Anatoly on this week's Green Justice: An Arrow Podcast!

It tends to make the "Present Tense" when your daughter and her friends appear from the future and let you know that things have gotten even worse. Of course, Mia doesn't let them reveal this right away. But they are encouraged to work together when the Deathstroke gang begins terrorizing Star City. Connor loves seeing his adopted father Diggle, but just can't come clean on how his real son, JJ turned out. Mia and William seem at least a little comfortable with some revelations, but nobody can reveal to Rene that Zoe has been killed. They do have plenty to occupy them though as they try to stop Grant Wilson before it's too late. And of course Oliver tries to make sure Mia doesn't go too far in the name of justice. But how did the kids get there? Was it the Monitor? And what does the Monitor want with Laurel? Jay and Josh try to change the future but wonder if by changing the future guarantees the other future, and other wacky paradoxical questions on this week's Green Justice: An Arrow Podcast!

Oliver must take a "Leap of Faith" when he travels to Nanda Parbat to find answers about the mysterious Monitor. Once he's there, he runs into his sister Thea who is happy to catch up and help her big brother. She's been busy helping to dismantle the League of Assassins, but has made a dangerous enemy of Athena. Luckily, the pair have Talia helping them to make their way to the information they need. Of course, they'll have to fight their way through. Back in Hong Kong, Lyla and Diggle discover that Sandra and Connor Hawke are being held by some very bad men. They won't have time to call for ARGUS backup, so the married couple work together to rescue them. And in the process become closer than ever. And in the future, Mia leads the team right into the Deathstroke gang's hideout to confront JJ once and for all. But in the process, they lose one of their friends. And that's when the universe decides to mess everything up. Jay and Josh go on a scavenger hunt on this week's Green Justice: An Arrow Podcast!

"Welcome to Hong Kong" where China White rules the triad and Katana fights against them. The Monitor has brought Oliver, Diggle, and Laurel here after the destruction of Earth 2 to find a scientist that is working on redeveloping the Alpha/Omega virus. Oliver is convinced that the last Earth was destroyed because he didn't follow the Monitor's instructions so now he is making some questionable decisions about how to get things done. Laurel is trying to get back home, but all her efforts are for naught because there is nothing left. As Oliver tracks down his target, he runs across his old friend Katana, who reminds him what he's fighting for. In the future, Conner tries to convince JJ that he can be a good guy, but he doesn't really make much progress.

Come back to "Starling City" with Oliver Queen. Now in service of the Monitor, he begins his travels on the road to his final destiny by experiencing what life might have been in this alternate reality. Here, Oliver has been missing from the boat tragedy for twelve years. Black Siren and the Hood have been trying to protect the city from the Dark Archer. But the Hood is Adrian Chase and the bad guy is Tommy Merlyn. First, Oliver has to restrain his emotions as he comes to terms with his new reality. His mother Moira is alive and married to Malcolm. Thea has died of a drug overdose because he wasn't there to save her. But the Monitor won't let him worry about minor details like that. He must retrieve a dwarf-star particle to help for the upcoming Crisis. But Tommy has other plans for it. Luckily, Diggle followed Oliver to Earth-2 and helps him out despite all of his friend's objections. With Oliver's final fate looming, our hero experiences pains of the past and alternative possibilities before seeing what may be in store for his universe. Jay and Josh begin the Undertaking of breaking down the final season of Green Justice: An Arrow Podcast!
On October 15, 2019 Huston-Tillotson University (HT) will host the sixth annual Building Green Justice Forum, this year focusing on “Potential through Place.” The modern environmental justice movement understands that our fates are linked to the places we live and work, and that for people of color those places often are ignored, under-resourced, and overly burdened with polluted air, water, and soil. Yet these places also are home to the environmental justice community’s pride, strength, and motivation. Our guests were Karen Magid, Ph.D, Director of Sustainability and STEM, and Dr. Amanda Masino, Ph.D, Professor of Biology and HT. We also spoke with Parc Smith, CEO of American Youthworks, Austin, Texas about their innovative youth training programs. They have two primary education and career training programs, YouthBuild Austin and our Conservation Corps. They provide the building blocks for learning and engagement that young people can build upon as they grow into adulthood.

The two women make a break for it and connect with most of their friends. With further dangers in the wreckage, they must make haste to find Oliver and figure out what to do next.

Whose "Confessions" can be trusted? Oliver Queen is brought in to Star City Police Department for questioning after two guards are killed during a mission to stop the Ninth Circle. Captain Dinah Drake herself is in charge of the investigations as all of Team Arrow is questioned. Even Roy Harper is subject to suspicion after Oliver asked him to help them take down Emiko's group. Each of our heroes weave a complex story of violence and confusion. But they all lead to Emiko killing these innocent men.

Green Arrow and "Spartan" get closer to finding Emiko and the Ninth Circle, but the trail leads them to the head of the DIA General Stewart. Stewart is a tough as nails military man, and someone that Diggle has no respect for. Oh, and he's also his stepfather. John's father died in a military operation that Stewart was a part of. But now that the team needs his help, they have to work together. Felicity gets her new Archer program stolen right from under her by the bad guys and they plan on using it as a powerful weapon. It seems like they'll do just about anything to get what they want. After they kidnap and torture Diggle and Stewart, the General gives them the codes to protect his stepson. Situations like this usually reveal big things, and this one is no exception. Meanwhile in the future, Mia and Connor work together to find a power source that Felicity needs. But they'll need to see Connor's brother John Jr. to get it.

While Oliver and Diggle go out to find something useful to track down the Ninth Circle, Dinah tries to track down the discredited DA. But Felicity is convinced that Laurel still has good in her. She blocks Dinah at every move, and even brings in Sarah Lance to help show Laurel that you can be redeemed even if you have done some pretty bad things. Will Laurel see the light, or has she traveled so far down the dark path that it has dominated her destiny?

Emiko's "Inheritance" seems to be on overwhelming sense of vengeance on the Queen family. We witness the tragic origin of Emiko Queen as she is abandoned by Robert. Along the way through her lonely life without her father, she comes across Dante. He teaches her to be tough and ruthless and eventually gives her information she can use to get justice. Laurel Lance snoops around looking for some dirt on Emiko but is attacked before she can learn much. She passes it on to Oliver though, who doesn't take the news well. He gives her the benefit of the doubt until she betrays the team once again and assists the Ninth Circle in obtaining sarin gas. This new threat may be bigger than they can imagine once Oliver discovers who the real leader is. Jay and Josh run from drones on this week's Green Justice: An Arrow Podcast!

Welcome to "Training Day" rookies! Oliver and his team are required to go through SCPD training in order to become fully deputized members of the force. But that comes with a price. They will have to give up a lot of the tactics and methods they've used all these years to follow protocol. They try to go along at first, but it proves to be much more difficult than expected. When they fall back to their old ways, they end up losing evidence and suspects. Plus, Dinah discovers that she has no Canary Cry to help her out of tough spots. Oliver seriously considers going rogue, but instead they work together to find a way. Laurel gets a surprise bit of information from Bronze Tiger at Slabside that leads her to Ricardo Diaz's killer.

"Brothers and Sisters" don't always get along. When Oliver finds out that Emiko is trying to avenge her mother, he uses it as a way to build her trust. Trust is built on truth. And that's why Diggle reveals to Oliver that they are using Diaz in their Ghost Initiative. Oliver takes the news surprisingly well, but Felicity is a little less open. She agrees to help ARGUS though, which is good because they are sending in the dastardly crew to corner Dante. To the surprise of pretty much nobody, Diaz betrays them and tries to escape. And despite having him right where they want him, Dante gets away as well. Surprises are around every corner. And they seem to be closely related to Emiko, Dante, and a future Mia Smoak.

Oliver tries to be a good father to his troubled son, who's been kicked out of school. But William just wants a normal life and calls his grandparents to come take him away. Oliver and Felicity plead with him to understand they're trying to do what's best for him, but with the lifestyle they lead, it's hard to argue with William's logic. Dina leads a team to an abandoned house to find some very disturbing evidence of their psychotic stalker, but he surprises them when he attacks, leaving Dinah grasping at life. Then the killer incapacitates Oliver, Felicity, and William leaving them at his mercy. In the future, our heroes are abducted and held by Blackstar until they find out a surprising twist that could change their mission entirely.

Coming soon to a theater near you, "Emerald Archer"! That's the name of the documentary that Oliver has agreed to be a part of, as he tries to clean up his image a little. And it includes a wide variety of appearances and opinions. One opinion that may not skew his way though, is the Mayor. She is still full-on anti-vigilante and wants Oliver to debate her at a town hall meeting to make her stance perfectly clear. Unfortunately, there's a powerful new foe named Chimera that is assaulting the vigilantes and collecting their accessories. He even captures Emiko. They get her out, but she's hurt badly. Now Diggle thinks the best thing to defend all the innocent people at the town hall meeting is the Original Team Arrow. And it works too, but in the process Dinah reveals herself as Black Canary to the Mayor and people see the consequences of having vigilantes. But the mayor is hoping to solve that problem. Jay and Josh try to frame the perfect shot, but Green Arrow keeps flubbing his lines on Green Justice: An Arrow Podcast!

And Laurel begins to get mysterious notes threatening her. She believes they are from the man that killed her father in a drunk driving accident and it releases some pent up anger she's had for a long time. Over at ARGUS, Diggle makes Curtis work on the bombs that have been implanted in the members of Ghost Initiative. Curtis wants nothing to do with it, but is ordered to carry out the procedure. Things appear to go downhill fast. At SCPD the vengeful son attacks the police to get to Oliver.

Hello, "My Name is Emiko Queen" and I have been stopping criminals as the new Green Arrow. With Felicity's help, Oliver has discovered that it has been his sister under the hood all year.

Because of this wound, Wild Dog and Green Arrow will be working together to track down and stop a bad guy named William Glenmorgan. Emiko has worked tirelessly to issue justice on her mother's murderer, but she won't be able to do it without help.

Now that Oliver is "Unmasked" and out of Slabside Prison, he would like to get back to something resembling his former life. Oliver even gives a speech at a charity function that addresses prison reform. But when people begin to get murdered, it looks like the new Green Arrow is to blame, which turns all eyes on Oliver Queen. Because of added pressure from the mayor, Dinah wants to get this investigation wrapped up quickly. So she hires Oliver as a consultant. Soon she's convinced him to don the green leather once more to be deputized into the police force. That may not be as big a problem as Oliver is having with his wife.

Oliver can achieve "The Slabside Redemption" if he manages to stay alive long enough to be released. Ricardo Diaz has been successfully apprehended, but his admission into Slabside didn't go quite as smoothly. After bribing a guard, he acquires his freedom and begins to infiltrate the prison. First, he threatens Oliver and warns him of the chaos to come. When Oliver can't convince anyone of the dangers they're about to face, he has to break out of his cell and prepare. But Diaz gets all the inmates on his side. All except Turner, who Oliver has convinced that he can help him get some leniency. So the two of them make their way through the gauntlet of mad prisoners and save some guards' lives. Once Oliver is able to confront Diaz, the final battle ensues.

Will Oliver ever get the "Due Process" he deserves? Now that he's back on Level One of Slabside, he tries to defend his sidekick Stanley, who's been accused of murdering a guard. Ricardo Diaz has eliminated the entire Bratva and brought Anatoly back to Star City to get his ultimate revenge by destroying the city. The old team sees that they will all need to work together to stop him once and for all!...without Laurel. She's a little distraught by this, and when she fails to win Oliver an appeal, she begins questioning her role as a hero. The rest of the team uses Anatoly to get to Pyotor Roslav who is supplying Diaz with the things he needs to build the bomb. It's not an easy road to save the day, but they all manage to stop the bad guys, and with the mysterious Green Arrow's help, they even successfully capture the Dragon!

Oliver finally faces "The Demon" while being held on Level 2. It's a big surprise, since Oliver thought this person was dead. The Demon's been manipulating everything he's dealt with in prison. Having faced that uncomfortable truth, he now just wants to know what kind of horrors are behind the big door of which all the prisoners seem terrified. So he agrees to help his foe escape if they can stop whatever is happening in there. On the outside, Felicity tries to get more information about Level 2 because they won't even let her see her husband. Enlisting the help of Laurel's law knowledge and Dinah's old paper files, they set off to uncover the truth. Curtis is none too happy that ARGUS wants him to go back in the field on a case. But lately he's not feeling too 'Terrific'. Jay and Josh admire their new prison bracelets on this week's Green Justice: An Arrow Podcast! Listen in and justice will be served...to your MP3 player!
"Level Two" poses more challenges for Oliver as the prison doctor tries some extreme ways to 'rehabilitate' him. This rehabilitation includes some mind-altering machinery that makes Oliver face his past and look towards some kind of future with William. But will he ever be the same? Felicity gets an unlikely ally when she goes to Laurel for help cracking Silencer. Neither of them want to work together, but maybe their differences are just what they need to find Diaz. Will this cause Felicity to stray too close to her dark side? Dinah works hard to earn the lost trust of the city for the police, especially from the citizens of the Glades. And when her town hall meeting gets set ablaze by a mysterious arsonist, it's all she can do to convince everyone that vigilantes are not the solution. It's especially hard to convince Rene, since the unknown Green Arrow saved his daughter Zoe. Jay and Josh long for that hard to find Beebo on this week's Green Justice: An Arrow Podcast!

Our heroes may be "Crossing Lines" to finally stop Diaz. When Oliver tries to collect the information that Brick owes him after getting stabbed, he's told that the real guy he wants is someone called the Demon. Oliver has to wait for the signal to make contact. But when he tries, the devious con double-crosses him and tries to have his goons take care of our hero once and for all. They fail of course, and Oliver uses Bronze Tiger to confront Brick. But that doesn't go so well either. That's when he finds out the Demon is on a much tougher level of prison. Too bad for the prison guards then, because that's who gets taken out so Oliver can be transferred. Felicity tries to get Agent Watson to do something about Diaz. She finally appeals to her sense of Justice when she, Dinah, and Rene infiltrate CDC against orders. It doesn't go well either. Much like the third honeymoon of Diggle and Lyla. But that sometimes happens when your high-level wife conceals top-secret information from her husband. Jay and Josh try to summon the demon, but probably shouldn't have tried texting him, on this week's Green Justice: An Arrow Podcast! Listen in and justice will be served...to your MP3 player!
"The Longbow Hunters" are loose in Star City and they are stealing tech for Ricardo Diaz. Diggle and ARGUS are on their trail, but their priority is recovering the goods and not stopping Diaz. Felicity isn't comfortable with that reality and does whatever she needs to to track the man that is destroying her life and family. Oliver wants to know the people in prison with connections to Diaz. The best person to get that information is from Brick, but the only way to do it is do take out an honest guard. Oliver isn't quite that far gone, but he will have to stoop a little too low to get what he wants. Despite her feelings, Dinah sends police to protect Laurel from Diaz. Laurel won't have that and tries to go after him herself. Luckily, Black Canary trails along to help out. And the future Lian Yu finds William and Roy working together to find a secret that Oliver has left. Jay and Josh remind you to "be very, very quiet. They're hunting longbows", on this week's Green Justice: An Arrow Podcast! Listen in and justice will be served...to your MP3 player!
Oliver Queen's new persona is "Inmate 4587" and right now all he wants to do is lay low and stay out of trouble, so he can get back to his family sooner. But that's not easy when you're in a prison full of people that want to kill you. And the city could really use him, too. The crime rate is up, and newly appointed Captain Dinah Drake doesn't have the resources to fight it. That's when a hooded, mystery archer shows up. He seems to be going after the bad people of the city, and Rene is all for it. But when he talks to Dinah, he is surprised to find out that she intends to put a stop to any vigilante that operates outside of the law. Felicity and William are trying to make the best of being in protective custody. But when Diaz finds them, the struggle convinces her that she is finished hiding. Letting Oliver know how she feels, gives him the conviction to do the right thing as well. So he makes it known that he will no longer take the abuse that he's been turning a blind eye to. But who is the hooded figure? And how are all our heroes going to start fighting back? Jay and Josh try to find the biggest guys and join their gang for protection on the season 7 premiere of Green Justice: An Arrow Podcast! Listen in and justice will be served...to your MP3 player!

Oliver wants Diaz to get his "Life Sentence" after he and the FBI storm the SCPD and defeat parts of his army. But Diaz is nowhere to be found. In desperation, Oliver asks Anatoly for help in locating him. It looks like his Russian friend has really joined the heroes, because he puts his life in danger by giving them all he knows. But Diaz knows that Anatoly has betrayed him and he sets a trap that almost gets Samanda Watson and Rene blown up. They escape with their lives, but Diaz holds Laurel as collateral against Quentin. He threatens to kill her if the Mayor doesn't get the FBI out of the city. Quentin will do anything to save his daughter, despite her true nature. He leads Oliver's team to Diaz, but gets shot in the process. The good guys finally achieve the upper hand, but you never want to be hasty to claim victory. And even though it appears as if they have taken back the city, there are heavy prices to pay for it.

Sometimes "The Ties That Bind" us are stronger than those that separate us. Oliver and all of his friends will need to band together once again if they hope to stop Ricardo Diaz. Now that his goal is to kill Oliver and everyone he loves, everyone will have to use extra caution as they're attacked around every corner. The only option Oliver can think of is asking Anatoly for some help in getting to Diaz. Anatoly proves he has found his honor again by feeding them some intel and leading Diaz out. But his new friends in the Quadrant help him out and he gets away, after stabbing Curtis in a fight. Luckily for the good guys, they discover an piece of tech that may contain important information. Lyla will have to break into SCPD with a sniffer to get it. It almost works, but to no avail. Furious, Diaz kills two more leaders in the Quadrant and declares war on Team Arrow. They fail to get what they needed, so Oliver will have to ask for help from a very unexpected source.

All rise to hear "Docket No. 11-19-41-73" in which Oliver Queen is on trial for the crimes of being Green Arrow. The sharp lawyer, Alexa Van Owen has many tricks up her sleeve to convince the jury that this man is guilty. And it's really a problem that Ricardo Diaz has everyone from the judge to the jury under his control. Despite calling some witnesses that give some damning evidence against Oliver, Diggle may have something that could actually get him out of this mess. Green Arrow shows up in court, but under the hood seems to be Tommy Merlyn. This puts some reasonable doubt in the heads of some, but when Laurel takes the stand Diaz expects her to put the nail in the coffin. Though she may have the guts to finally make a difference. But where will that leave her with Diaz? Jay and Josh debate the appeal of swashbuckling on this week's Green Justice: An Arrow Podcast! Listen in and justice will be served...to your MP3 player!
This week we find "Shifting Allegiances" that could either take Ricardo Diaz down, or be bad for the good guys. Oliver is trying to get Anatoly to see that his allegiance is misplaced, and even gets him an opening back into the Bratva. But Anatoly seems to appreciate his new place with the Dragon, so he delivers Oliver right to him. Curtis and Dinah welcome home Rene from the hospital and they are hoping to stop some of Diaz's operations. They even get some assistance from Diggle's new ARGUS team, but Wild Dog is a little more Wild Dog when he realizes that Zoe could be in danger of losing her dad if he dies on a mission. Quentin gets a visit from Diaz and learns that Laurel has been working closely with him and can't get out of her dangerous alliance. And it all ends when Ricardo sends Oliver to the police for a trial that could end it all for Green Arrow.

Enter "The Dragon", on this week's Arrow. Ricardo Diaz is out to get even more power by gaining the favor of the most powerful crime syndicate in the country, the Quadrant. At first they send Diaz on a series of doggy errands for them, but he quickly gets tired of that and decides to overtake the son of one of the head members of the powerful group. By the time this arrogant mobster realizes how powerful Diaz and Black Siren are, it's too late. He is sent in as a trap to his father's meeting. And when Diaz gets in there, he is able to decisively convince them that he is powerful enough to be a part of their group. Now Oliver better be prepared, because he's up against one of most dangerous threats. Jay and Josh are open for business on this week's Green Justice: An Arrow Podcast!
