First of all, let me say "Bonjour, mes amis!" to all of my friends that are reading this over in France. Thank you so much for reading, it means the world to me that you follow this blog!
Okay! Let's talk Arrow! It's been nearly a week since they released the most recent new episode, so hopefully I won't be giving away too much here, but just in case you haven't figured it out yet, there will be some spoilers coming up!
Still with me? Good! So the CW has released the official synopsis for the thirteenth episode in the series, and as we all saw last Wednesday, Oliver did not die from the wounds that he received from Ra's al Ghul, and there was no supernatural reincarnation that was involved. Ra's just didn't follow through. Which makes me wonder...did he know that he didn't kill Oliver? Was it just a show for the people that were witnessing the fight in order to have Oliver in his debt at a later time? Probably not. If Oliver showed back up and Ra's was aware of it, others might see this as weakness on Ra's part. I think he actually thinks that he killed Oliver. But I digress...
Here's what the CW has to say about the upcoming episode:
"Oliver (Stephen Amell) is thrown by the changes within Team Arrow. He’s used to calling the shots but sees that the team has evolved in his absence and tensions quickly escalate in the lair. Oliver is furious that Laurel (Katie Cassidy) has been going out as the Black Canary and tells her to stop risking her life, but when Vertigo (guest star Peter Stormare) hits the streets again, Laurel goes against Oliver’s wishes and tracks down Vertigo who hits her with a full dose of the drug. Laurel’s biggest fears revolve around her sister Sara (guest star Caity Lotz) so the Vertigo causes her to hallucinate an epic fight between Canary and Black Canary. Meanwhile, Chase (guest star Austin Butler) surprises Thea (Willa Holland), and Roy (Colton Haynes) warns Thea to stay away from Malcolm (John Barrowman). Michael Schultz directed the episode written by Jake Coburn & Emilia Ortega Aldrich (#313). Original airdate 2/11/2015."
I think that this is a good start to bring Oliver back into the fold of things, because as I said, this is episode thirteen. A lot of things will have taken place since he has been gone. Laurel is the new "Black Canary," and Diggle has become the new Arrow. Let's not forget that Roy has started to come into his own! Speaking of Roy, or more to the point Colton Haynes, he had this to say on the back nine (sorry, a golf reference, not the actual number of episodes left!) of this season's episodes:
"You can thank Brick’s plan to take over the Glades for her return. “We have to go back to the Glades to check things out and check on some people and survey the area,” Colton Haynes tells me. “I finally get to see Sin again and might recruit her to come help us along the way.” Speaking of returning faces, when Ra’s al Ghul pops back up in Starling City, the team may find an ally in Nyssa… until she finds out who really killed Sara. “Thea really has to watch her back,” Haynes says. “I feel back because it’s not her fault. It’s Malcolm’s fault.”
If this doesn't get you excited about the things to come, I don't know what will! Arrow airs Wednesday night on the CW at 8pm.
