Last Night's Flash Episode Contained Spoilers For The Arrow Premiere
The season finale for Arrow last season left everyone but Oliver Queen and William in danger. While the two of them were on a boat with Adrian Chase's corpse, just about everyone else on the show was on Lian Yu as it blew up. The show has done a pretty good job of not saying who exactly survives — though they have said it's not about who lives and dies, but more about the shape they're in.
Going into this week we knew the Slade Wilson, Laural Lance (Earth-2), and Dinah Drake had survived. We've seen clips of them in the new season. We could guess that Rene Gonzalez survives as Rick Gomez was promoted to series regular. And Curtis Holt hasn't been seen in any of the promos, but Echo Kellum was in the behind-the-scenes footage of the CW filming their promo for the new season. That's not confirmation, though.
But last night's season premiere of The Flash may have given some of the mystery away. It was a throwaway line to connect the universes. When Cisco is explaining that he'd been working on bringing back Barry since the night he left, he talks about consulting with other people. On the list were characters from that series Harrison Wells, Tina McGee, and Tracy Brand. He also mentions Felicity and Curtis, likely meaning Felicity Smoak and Curtis Holt from Arrow. The scene take place six months after the season finale and the shows all run parallel time-wise, so this would be after Lian Yu exploding.
Now there has been mentions of Thea in interviews having a problem with Slade… so I'm guessing she makes it. Which leave Diggle, Quentin, Nyssa, and Sara (William's mother), plus bad guys Artemis and Talia. That's assuming Captain Boomerang and Malcolm Merlyn are truly dead.
We'll find out for sure tomorrow night as Arrow returns at 9 p.m. on the CW.
