This past week's 'Arrow' installment, "Keep Your Enemies Closer," managed to keep the series' pace moving with a side trip to Russia, but can the second season of the CW hit tackle its most notoriously campy character once again in next week's "State V. Queen"? See 'Fringe' star Seth Gabel's return as Count Vertigo in the full set of photos!

While Oliver continues the battle against the increasingly unstable Count Vertigo, the Queen family in general has their own uphill climb as Moira's trial finally arrives, placing the threat of the death penalty on the table. Our first photos from "State V. Queen" show that Oliver will have to rescue prosecuting DA Adam Donner (‘Orphan Black”s Dylan Bruce), but will it buy his family any favor?

Here's what The CW had to say of next week's "State V. Queen":

MOIRA FIGHTS FOR HER LIFE; THE COUNT RETURNS — Oliver (Stephen Amell) is concerned when a mysterious illness sweeps the city, infecting hundreds of people, including Diggle (David Ramsey). Oliver discovers Vertigo in Diggle’s blood and realizes The Count (guest star Seth Gabel) has broken out of prison and is once again distributing his drug.

Check out the full set of photos from next week's 'Arrow' below, and tell us in the comments what you want to see from Count Vertigo's "State V. Queen" return!
