Stephen Amell's return to Starling City as the Arrow had a huge impact on the show's ratings. Just how huge? Second only to one other season 3 episode, the Arrow|Flash crossover episode which aired back in December. In the key 18-49 demographic, Arrow scored (1.2/4) and in M18-34 (1.4/6) and had a total of 2.94 million viewers in total. This gave Arrow a third place finish in the Wednesday night 8PM network battle behind FOX's American Idol and ABC's The Middle [Arrow tied with CBS's The Mentalist].

Everyone is in for a real treat with Eps 313 - 315 of #Arrow -- There's no slowing down from now until the season finale.
— Stephen Amell (@amellywood) February 5, 2015

Arrow's next episode is Season 3, Episode 13 "Canaries" which is directed by Michael Schultz and written by Jake Coburn & Emilio Ortega Aldrich.

VERTIGO (GUEST STAR PETER STORMARE) RETURNS AND PITS CANARY AGAINST BLACK CANARY - Oliver (Stephen Amell) is thrown by the changes within Team Arrow. He's used to calling the shots but sees that the team has evolved in his absence and tensions quickly escalate in the lair. Oliver is furious that Laurel (Katie Cassidy) has been going out as the Black Canary and tells her to stop risking her life, but when Vertigo (guest star Peter Stormare) hits the streets again, Laurel goes against Oliver's wishes and tracks down Vertigo who hits her with a full dose of the drug. Laurel's biggest fears revolve around her sister Sara (guest star Caity Lotz) so the Vertigo causes her to hallucinate an epic fight between Canary and Black Canary. Meanwhile, Chase (guest star Austin Butler) surprises Thea (Willa Holland), and Roy (Colton Haynes) warns Thea to stay away from Malcolm (John Barrowman).

Extra Point: Wildcat (J.R. Ramirez) didn't exactly have a successful return to crime fighting. If that's the best he can do, Laurel (Katie Cassidy) needs to find a better teacher ASAP.

Wow that is big for Arrow!

GhostDog - 2/5/2015, 8:30 PM

2.94 million is a lot of viewers? ?? Blacklist averages like 8 million

AnthonyLantern - 2/5/2015, 8:31 PM

This week's Arrow was really great, but Oliver had nothing to do with it. As for ratings though, yeah it was totally him.

JoeMomma29 - 2/5/2015, 8:31 PM

@ComicsBornAndBred

Yes for CW!

Backlist is on a major Network called NBC!

CW is a teenie bopper network.........

Hellsboy - 2/5/2015, 8:32 PM

Wildcat got his ass handed to him and laurel actually surviving the battle...yeah nah she'd be dead
Still I like this show

JoeMomma29 - 2/5/2015, 8:33 PM

@Hellsboy

Yeah I liked how it looked liked Wildcat was going to win and bam his A$$ got handed to him!

JoeMomma29 - 2/5/2015, 8:34 PM

@Ezio

It has been a little slow but still great IMO. I think personally it was hard to top what they did with Deathstroke.

Malakas - 2/5/2015, 8:34 PM

Who is Spoiler?

hufflepuff69 - 2/5/2015, 8:34 PM

So does anyone else think this show has gotten corny or has it always been like that

The CW is like a homeless person, any amount is good enough.

FirstAvenger - 2/5/2015, 8:39 PM

@MarkJulian

You get style points for that comment and your "Extra Point" ROTFL! 😂😂😂

BobTheSuperhero - 2/5/2015, 8:39 PM

@Malakas he's joking, the person talked about in the article is Oliver/Arrow.

ALegendaryPanda - 2/5/2015, 8:40 PM

I wasn't the biggest fan of the latest episode, something about it just felt... kinda anti climatic to me. Also Felicity was really getting on my damn nerves which is something I almost never say.

But hopefully these next few episodes get the show back on track. Things should get VERY interesting when Deathstroke returns

Kyos - 2/5/2015, 8:41 PM

@MarkJulian

Well played! :D

BobTheSuperhero - 2/5/2015, 8:41 PM

Last nights episode was actually kind of junk.

JoeMomma29 - 2/5/2015, 8:42 PM

Hey it is night time should a certain troll be at work?????

Gas Station Attendant

TheAmericanPatriot - 2/5/2015, 8:42 PM

Hell I bet a show about monkey picking his nose and eating it would get a 6 season run on the CW if 3 people tune into watch it. LOL!!!

FirstAvenger - 2/5/2015, 8:42 PM

Did Felicity and Laurel switch personalities the last few episodes?

imkennypowers - 2/5/2015, 8:43 PM

GhostDog - 2/5/2015, 8:43 PM

@TheAmericanPatriot right you are haha

JoeMomma29 - 2/5/2015, 8:43 PM

I guess you CaptainPatsy could be a star of that monkey picking their nose...... no audition needed!

Malakas - 2/5/2015, 8:44 PM

@BobTheSuperhero
And i'm trolling dude!

JoeMomma29 - 2/5/2015, 8:44 PM

Yet the Marvel trolls will cannot stomach that The Flash is getting the same amount viewership as Agents Of Shield!!!!!!!!
