'Arrow' Season 4 SPOILERS: 'Green Arrow' Premiere Episode Description Released

The Season 4 premiere of Arrow arrives on Wednesday, October 7 at 8 p.m. Eastern, and the CW has released the official description for the opener entitled "Green Arrow."

Comic Book Movie has posted the description, which you can check out below:

"MY NAME IS THE GREEN ARROW — Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Felicity’s (Emily Bett Rickards) blissful getaway is cut short when Thea (Willa Holland) and Laurel (Katie Cassidy) pay them a visit and tell Oliver they need his help back in Star City. The city has been attacked by 'Ghosts,' assassins led by a dangerous man named Damien Darhk (guest star Neal McDonough). However, when Oliver returns, Diggle (David Ramsey) makes it very clear that he doesn’t want Oliver on the team. Thor Freudenthal directed the episode with story by Greg Berlanti & Beth Schwartz and teleplay by Marc Guggenheim & Wendy Mericle."

There isn't much breaking news there, but it's still interesting to see the plot listed out for us. From the Season 4 trailer, we already knew that Oliver and Felicity's happiness would be interrupted, and that Thea and Laurel would be the ones to crash the party. We also knew that Diggle's relationship with Oliver would be frosty when the latter returned to Star City.

What is a bit new, however, is the news that Damien Darhk's crew of assassins is called "Ghosts." We learned from previous spoilers and interviews with the executive producers that Darhk has been operating in Star City for a few months before Oliver gets back to try to stop him.

Keep in mind also that Arrow typically does not fully introduce the main villain of the season until around Episode 9, which is right before the break for the holidays. But it looks like that will change in Season 4 because Darhk shows up right in the season premiere. Does this mean that a larger threat is looming for later in the season?
