The CW concluded its latest Arrow-The Flash crossover by dropping a major bombshell on viewers.
Indeed, Oliver Queen has one major daddy issue: he is one!
On Arrow Season 4 Episode 8, Oliver confronted an ex-girlfriend after running a DNA test to confirm that her child really is.
As some have speculated, however, this mother-son tandem are not comic book characters Sandra and Connor Hawke.
They are simply two relative unknowns named Samantha and William Clayton.
This way, executive producer Andrew Kreisberg told reporters after a screening of the installment, Connor can still be introduced at a different point down the line.
Thanks to Barry going back and erasing the timeline in which Felicity learned of Oliver’s secret, resulting in a major blowout, Oliver now has no plans on revealing the truth to his girlfriend.
As you might expect, according to producer Wendy Mericle, this is “definitely going to come to a head in the middle of the season.”
She adds:
“True to what we’ve done on the show, if there’s a secret somewhere, it’s going to come out, and it’s going to have some serious consequences, [which will] raise the stakes [for Olicity] and throw some wrenches into the works of their relationship.”
Also having consequences? Barry trip back in time after Vandal Savage actually destroyed both Team Arrow and Team Flash.
“When Sara was brought back, when Thea was brought back, last year when Barry changed the timeline, this year when Barry changes the timeline… any of these things that feel like the right thing to do, there is always, always a price to be paid,” Kreisberg previews.
Finally, as seen in the concluding minutes (when Malcolm gathered Savage’s ashes) the villain’s story is not over. Not by a long shot. Look for details of how he’ll resurface to play a major role on DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, which premieres in January.
So there you have it. Crossover complete.
