Synopsis for "The Champions"

On a bus in Seattle, two men try to rob all the passengers, but Dinah Lance stops them easily. In space, two astronauts are effecting repairs to a satellite when it explodes.

In his apartment above the Sherwood Florist, Oliver Queen is practicing with his bow and arrows when Dinah comes home bruised and bloody. She tells Oliver how she stopped the robbery on the bus, and how it made her feel good. Oliver and Dinah make love for the first time since she was tortured. Afterwards, they mistake the space-lab crashing to earth, for a falling star, and make a wish.

Oliver goes on patrol as Green Arrow, and as he believes that he is stopping a mugging, the victim knocks him out. He awakens to find himself in the office of a man named Mr. Joshua. Mr. Joshua tells Oliver how an orbiting space lab on which biochemical research was being conducted, has fallen from orbit and the pod containing the experiment has come down on San Juan Island, just off the coast of Washington. Unfortunately, they can't simply recover the pod, because the Chinese are claiming ownership of the experiment and are moving a large recovery force into the area. Mr. Joshua asks Oliver to go to San Juan Island to reclaim the experiment before the biochemical virus within the pod falls into the wrong hands. Mr. Joshua tells Oliver that he is the second choice for this assignment. Their first choice, Eddie Fyers, is already working for the Chinese. Reluctantly, Oliver agrees.

Oliver gets on a ferry for San Juan Island. As the ferry approaches the Island, Eddie Fyers targets Oliver with a sniper rifle.
