Storyline

Oliver is the first to realize that attacks on Lois and Chloe by a dark Archer, rather resembling him, are the work of his archery mentor, Vordigan. Chloe's research later puts Clark on his trace. As Oliver feared, the loner-rules of the ancient Cletic society they belong to make his disciple Mia the next target. Clark catches up during the archers' final duel. Meanwhile Zod is determined to use Tess's knowledge of Clark's secrets.

Disciple

If anyone wants to know what a Green Arrow spin off would be like, this is pretty much it. Mia (aka Speedy for anyone familiar with the comics) returns. Her character was handled much better this time than when she was first introduced earlier in the season. Her original appearance was awkward and out of place. Seeing as this is a Green Arrow episode, it was easier to accept her. I liked that the producers brought in a character from Green Arrow's history, since they dropped the ball with Black Canary. It's just too bad they never followed through. Mia/Speedy had a lot more potential than the two episodes she appeared in. I also liked that the villain of the week had a physical appearance very similar to the comic book version of Green Arrow.

This was a good episode, but the only problem is that it plays out like a back door pilot for a Green Arrow spin off. Clark, Chloe, Lois and Zod's presence in this episode are very out of place.
