Yinsen helped Ada acquire shares in Queen Consolidated, then tracked down an abandoned factory Oliver Queen had not yet made into a secret base. He approached Thea Queen and used magic to show her Oliver at the factory, leaving her wary but focused on the image.

• Yinsen told Oliver to explain himself to Thea, and Thea said she was already involved and considered learning self-defense.

Thea tried to persuade Yinsen to teach her self-defense, while Oliver remained wary of Yinsen and refused to let her train with guns. Ada Wong arrived at Oliver’s hideout and teased Yinsen about Thea before he explained that he was considering training her as a warrior.
