Here is how you know that Arrow Season 4 Episode 9 was a seriously eventful winter finale of this CW smash hit:
Because Oliver and Felicity got engaged… and yet that was scarcely even a significant part of the hour.
Yes, you may go ahead and celebrate, Olicity fans.
But that celebration may be very short-lived. Because Felicity may be dead,
Viewers will be left wondering whether or not she’s the corpse in the much-ballyhooed grave after Oliver outed Damien Darhk’s identity after the villain used a drone to kill innocent civilians during a “clean up the bay” event.
He responded by taking Felicity, Thea and Diggle captive and then by giving Oliver a demonstration of “Genesis” when Oliver attempts to save his teammates.
This evil plot involved using algae from the aforementioned clean-up for his gas chamber and referencing the Nazis when talking about how humanity occasionally needs a reset
Ummmm… GULP?!?
To show Oliver he means business, Dahrk drags Felicity, Diggle and Thea into a gas chamber and starts to fill it, making it appear as if Team Arrow is about to lose some rather integral members.
But then Laurel’s Canary shriek breaks the glass and the building gets blown up.
Damien, however, being the cockroach that he is, manages to survive. Moreover, Phase 4 of his plan is all set to begin now that the air in what appears to be an underground bunker is breathable.
However, Dahrk’s superiors (NOTE: Dahrk has superiors?!?) are worried that Oliver will still get in the way of Genesis coming to fruition.
So Damien takes aim at the newly-engaged couple as they share a happy moment in a limo.
Oliver manages to maneuver the vehicle away from the ghosts… but it’s too late.
We conclude the episode with a bullet-ridden Felicity lies bleeding in his arms.
Go back and watch Arrow online to see this tragic event unfold and then sound off: Do you really think Felicity is the person in that grave?
