'Arrow' season 1 episode 18 first look: Vigilante inspiration (Photos)

"Arrow" season 1 is currently on a short hiatus, with new episodes soon, and on Wednesday, March 13, the CW released photos from one of those upcoming episodes, the 18th of the season, "Salvation."

This "Arrow" episode will be introducing "The Savior" (played by Christopher Redman), an angry resident of The Glades. He goes on a kidnapping and killing spree to punish those he sees have wronged the neighborhood. Does that sound familiar? And to make matters worse, he's going to be putting those murders online and claims his inspiration was Arrow (Stephen Amell). Oliver then becomes determined to stop him, but things get complicated when Thea (Willa Holland) tells him that Roy (Colton Haynes) has been kidnapped. Meanwhile, Laurel (Katie Cassidy) is going to be surprised when her father (Paul Blackthorne) believes her mother (Alex Kingston) and thinks Sara could still be alive. And finally, Malcolm (John Barrowman) has Moira (Susanna Thompson) looking into the person who tried to kill him.

The "Salvation" photos, which you can check out in the slideshow at the top of this article, offer a look at what's going to be shown from the island, though nothing is revealed in the episode synopsis. The rest of the photos show Roy Harper in trouble and the Lance family's investigation into what may or may not be Sara's fate.

"Arrow" season 1 airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on the CW. What do you think of the latest episodic photos?
