The first time the fans see Oliver Queen interact with John Diggle, Felicity Smoak, Tommy Merlyn, Laurel Lance, and Thea Queen, On Arrow Season 1 Episode 1 and Arrow Season 1 Episode 3

Thea Queen as played by Willa Holland is perhaps the most dynamic character that Arrow has ever had. Oliver Queen, over the course of the show's many season has become a bit stale and so his little sister is really the one that had the most complete and satisfying arc. Thea Queen, in the first season looks to be the basic conception of a teenage party girl sister and someone to be easily looked over. So when she returns later on as a full fledged dark avenger, it is the most shocking and exciting development that could have been created for the character. From the first season's prep school pleated skirts and low cut party dresses to the business like blazers she wears when not in her superhero alter ego, the change in her character's look is noticeable. The hacked off hair serves to make her look older and more respectable and we can't get enough of her comic book costume. The all red, leather get-up is in direct contrast to her brother's darker attire and serves to set her apart from Oliver Queen. Which is perfect because this is a character who deserved to be appreciated in her own right.

Nyssa Al Ghul returns to Star City to warn Thea that a group of renegade League of Assassins members are planning to attack her on Arrow. "The Thanatos Guild" is the 16th episode of the show's sixth season.

Oliver is still talking, but is anyone really listening? Everyone seems to be consumed by their own individual grief.

Thea comforts her brother before his talk. What will he say about his former lover and friend? Felicity looks like she wishes the day would just be over with already.

Friends gather to say their final goodbyes to Laurel. Too bad they all couldn't have pitched in a bit more to give her a more fitting floral tribute.

When you're feeling helpless, sometimes the only thing that helps is a hug. Lucky for Thea she has a big brother who cares.

Thea is devastated about Laurel's death, just like everyone else. No amount of prayers or wishes is going to bring her friend back.

Alex and Thea listen to Oliver's campaign speech, as well. Is this before or after she has tried to satisfy her bloodlust in front of the poor guy?

Do they just do everything together now? Geez. That's a lot of pictures of couples for any one episode that will also be about Diggle's brother being alive. Where's Andy?

This is yet another couple who will be romantically linked. But for how long? Apparently Thea's bloodlust is going to become unhinged in front of Alex. Um. Whoops?

Diggle leads Speedy and Black Canary into a battle. This is how they were fighting as a team the entire time Oliver was gone. Will we get to see them in action once again?
