‘Arrow’ “The Man Under the Hood” Preview: Deathstroke Attacks, ‘Flash’ Folk to the Rescue

The CW's 'Arrow' will take a brief breather next Wednesday after the events of this week's "Deathstroke," but where the climax of the last installment saw Oliver deciding to take the fight to Slade, the first photos of "The Man Under the Hood" have the one-eyed warrior beating him to it. See who may not make it out of "The Man Under the Hood" alive, and what 'Flash' folk will be in town to lend a hand!

We've yet to see Oliver go one-on-one with the fully-armored Deathstroke (Manu Bennett) this season, though the dramatic full set of photos from "The Man Under the Hood," show that even three-on-one have a rough go of it. Deathstroke easily bats around Oliver, Diggle and Sara, while later photos reveal a key component of Deathstroke's plan for Starling City.

We also know that the episode will feature Danielle Panabaker’s Caitlin Snow and Carlos Valdes’ Cisco Ramon, both early incarnations of Killer Frost and Vibe we know to be featured in ‘The Flash’ should The CW take it to series. Here's what The CW had to say of "The Man Under the Hood":

DEATHSTROKE HITS OLIVER AT HOME — Oliver (Stephen Amell), Canary (Caity Lotz), Diggle (David Ramsey) and Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) return to the lair and find Slade (Manu Bennett) waiting for them. An epic battle breaks out and one member of Team Arrow is sent to the hospital. Thea (Willa Holland) hits her breaking point, but just as Oliver is about to reach her, Slade intervenes and Oliver is faced with a choice – his battle with Slade or his family. Meanwhile, Laurel (Katie Cassidy) struggles with a new secret.

'Arrow' season 2 continues to heat up, but will "The Man Under the Hood" be the best installment yet? Check out the full set of photos below, along with the trailer above, and tell us in the comments what you want to see from the final episodes of 'Arrow' season 2!
