Biography
As a reporter for Channel 52, Susan Williams reported on Oliver Queen's appointment of Quentin Lance as deputy mayor of Star City. Hoping to have her walk back her story, Thea Queen went to meet Susan, admitting that Quentin was not even appointed yet, not to mention it was in fact Thea herself that had offered him the job. In response to this, Susan updated her story, suggesting that Oliver was "asleep at the wheel" of his administration. Because of this, Oliver held a public announcement, inviting press, officially announcing Quentin as his deputy. As Susan went to leave the building, Thea approached her, threatening to never cross her again.

Sometime later, Susan began shadowing Councilman Collins for a profile, following him into a meeting with Oliver about rezoning ordinates. They greeted each other, with Oliver suggesting that some of her pieces were off the mark. Once they got down to business, the councilman acknowledged that Oliver's plans would only benefit "crony capitalists", such as Queen Consolidated some decades before, a fact which surprised Susan, leading to Collins and Williams leaving. The following day, Oliver called Susan back for an off-camera interview. Susan admitted that, while she thought Oliver seemed nice, he was vastly under-qualified, leading to Star City suffering due to it; thus, the cause of her attacks on him. Asking for time to impress her, she agreed to give him one month with no attacks. Giving him her personal cell phone number, she left. The following day, she met with an associate, Ian, who gave her a photo of Oliver in Russia in 2011, when he was supposedly shipwrecked.

Some days later, Oliver had an on-camera interview with Susan, expressing his pleasure with the new zoning ordinates and the Anti-Crime Unit. As she left, she suggested he both impress her and call her. The following week, she met Oliver again, apologizing for being stuck in a Twitter war with a Russian investigative journalist. He asked her politely to not report on the two bodies that had been dropped left for the SCPD. Expressing his doubts at his work as mayor, Susan invited him to McGuire's Neighborhood Bar for a friendly drink. He joined her that night, opening up about his problems, being careful not to specify that they were in fact regarding his vigilantism as the Green Arrow.

After their friendly drink at the bar, the Oliver and Susan began going out. She attended his mayoral Christmas party and after Oliver had accidentally killed Billy Malone when he attempted to kill Prometheus as the Green Arrow, he went to her apartment and explained to her that someone from his past had told him that he ruined the lives of everyone he came into contact with. She believed this to be ridiculous and said that he had to stop shutting people out, offering to show him, before the two passionately made out.
