"Arrow" Showrunner Hints at Dark Season 4 Turn — Exclusive2 of 7
Felicity Smoak
Felicity’s life may be hanging in the balance, but the hope is that her impact on Oliver is very much alive. "What's intriguing about this storyline is, for as much as he has grown — and I definitely think he has — this season, it's been all about how he and Felicity made a decision to try to do this in a new way and to stay 'in the light,' which was the way we phrased it in the writers' room. But Felicity was the one who was keeping that flame alive for him," says Mericle. The question becomes: What happens if Felicity is no longer there for Oliver?
