The CW has released a description of "The Huntress Returns," the Wednesday, March 20 episode of Arrow.
Here's how the episode is described:
"With his nightclub set to open and a new romance brewing with McKenna (guest-star Janina Gavankar), Oliver (Stephen Amell) is as happy as he's been since returning to Starling City. But when Oliver's ex, The Huntress (guest-star Jessica De Gouw), suddenly returns to town, she threatens to destroy everything and everyone he cares about.
"Meanwhile, Laurel (Katie Cassidy) and her father (Paul Blackthorne) struggle with the return of Dinah Lance (guest-star Alex Kingston), who claims she has proof Sara is still alive. Thea (Willa Holland) gets Roy Harper (guest-star Colton Haynes) a job at Oliver's club, but he's not too inclined to stop his life of crime. Oliver and Tommy (Colin Donnell) are thrilled they were able to get Steve Aoki to play at the opening of their new nightclub, Verdant."
Guy Bee directed the episode, which was written by Jake Coburn and Lana Cho.

* X-FILES CREATORS: IDW Publishing has announced that The X-Files: Season 10 will be written by Joe Harris, with art by Michael Walsh and colors by Jordie Bellaire. The series will be executive produced by Chris Carter, creator of The X-Files.
The first issue, scheduled for June 19, will feature covers by Dave Johnson, Joe Corroney and Carlos Valenzuela, along with a classic photo image of Mulder and Scully.
"It was already an incredibly exciting prospect to tell stories set after the second The X-Files movie, especially after Joe Harris worked up such a great plan in that regard," said Chris Ryall, IDW's chief creative officer/editor-in-chief. "But my excitement level went off the charts after a meeting with Chris Carter, where he agreed to come aboard and executive produce our Season 10. In much the same way Joss Whedon steered our Angel: After the Fall series, Chris has graciously returned to do the same here."
In the opening story arc, "Believers," readers will catch up with Dana Scully and Fox Mulder, living normal lives together under secret identities. However, a visit from an old friend threatens to rip them from suburban anonymity, as they learn that someone is preying upon everyone involved in The X-Files.
* BERRY BACK: Actress Halle Berry has confirmed to multiple media outlets that she will be returning as Storm in X-Men: Days of Future Past.
