storyline Oliver Queen woke up after receiving medical treatment for two arrows through the back and chest. He freaked out, attacked the staff, and escaped through a window. Connor and Mia found him (they were banged up a bit, too - MIA was on crutches) and explained what had happened. He'd been found shot up on a rooftop and taken to a medical camp by "regular Star City citizens."
Connor introduced Ollie to Frederick Tuckman, a man he'd known from the monastery. He didn't believe Oliver and MIA were safe in Star City, so he and Tuckman got them care at the tropical island they were on. Ollie demanded to know what was going on in Star City. They told him and he wheeled himself away. He decided that if they were going to go back, they all had to not only get well, but get better.
Queen brought teachers in to retrain them. After a while, he decided they weren't enough. He finally tracked down Natas, the man who'd taught Deathstroke.
