Arrow 2B: How long will it take Ollie (Stephen Amell) to figure out that Slade (Manu Bennett) is alive and calling the shots for the supersoldier program? That’s unimportant. All we want to know is what’s happening with Laurel’s (Katie Cassidy) addiction problems <snark> (8pm, The CW)

Sleepy Hollow S1B: We’re still not sure where Ichabod’s (Tom Mison) son is (he’s clearly not actually dead), but it seems like the apocalypse is closer than ever as FOX’s smash hit returns to wrap-up its 13 episode freshman season. (9pm, FOX)

The Vampire Diaries S5B: The CW’s biggest existing hit celebrates its 100th episode in typical over the-top-fashion. Can’t wait to see the fall-out of the mid-season finale (fake deaths, break-ups and more made-up backstory with Ian Somerhalder’s Damon). (8pm, The CW)
