Changes: My Name is Emiko Queen

Revision as of 00:19, 23 January 2019

"My Name is Emiko Queen" is the tenth and midseason premiere episode of the seventh season of Arrow, and the one-hundred-forty-eighth episode overall. It aired on January 21, 2019.

"The world is not a fair place. Innocent people die while the guilty go free. The system is broken, filled with corruption, greed, and apathy. The people who are supposed to protect us are failing us. Criminals continue to walk the streets because no one is willing to stop them. The world may not be fair, but everyone deserves justice and someone looking out for them. People say that revenge corrupts the soul... that if you go down that path, you'll never come back. But sometimes, embracing the darkness is the only way to get justice. My name is Emiko Queen. I will get justice for my mother, and no one will stand in my way."
