Oliver Queen has returned to Star City as the Green Arrow and this week, the city is facing a new threat that has been targeting Susan Williams, the reporter who is also Oliver's ex-girlfriend. As the episode opens, we see Susan fleeing from her attacker who is wielding a knife, but the reporter is eventually saved by Oliver.

The team's investigation leads them to the conclusion that the dangerous Prometheus is behind it all. Prometheus, we learn, is a vigilante out for revenge against Oliver for supposedly ruining his life. The team then sets up a trap for Prometheus, but when he shows up, he has something unexpected to say.

With Prometheus outsmarting and outmaneuvering Team Arrow at every turn, Oliver is playing a game of chess with his enemy, trying to outsmart him. However, the stakes are much higher than he ever imagined when Prometheus targets someone close to Oliver and the team. It's in this context that the episode sets up the game-changing events that unfold in the rest of the season.

The episode reveals a lot about the pasts of Oliver and Prometheus, revealing some surprising connections that neither man could have ever anticipated. The episode is packed with tense standoffs and intense moments of character interaction, and it's definitely one of the most plot-driven episodes of the whole season.

The key takeaway from this episode is that true enemies may hide in plain sight. Just when we think we know all the secrets hidden away in the city of Starling, a new mystery reveals itself, and it all revolves around the games that are being played on both sides of the law. With secrets aplenty, Checkmate sets the stage for some major revelations to come.

Overall, Arrow season 5, episode 16 is a great addition to the series. With strong pacing, compelling performances, and a plot that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats, this episode is a must-watch for any fans of the show. This episode is sure to excite anyone who loves action-packed thrillers, gripping character studies, or nail-biting mysteries, and it's definitely one of the highlights of the show's fifth season.
