The monitor sends Oliver to Earth-2 asking him to obtain dwarf star particles. Even though the mission is a success, it warns us of the danger that lies ahead. The parallel earth is seemingly wiped off from the existence by the Anti-Monitor.

But the second episode of Arrow that premiered on October 22, 2019 further gives us details on Oliver’s mission. The Monitor sends Oliver on a mission to retrieve Dr. Wong.
