‘Arrow’ season 3, episode 2 preview: Moving past Caity Lotz – Sara Lance shocker

Arrow -We know that there is a lot to discuss when it comes to “Arrow” season 3 right now, and hopefully we will be able to chat about that in the near future. We have to give it time for a proper review!

For now, though, let’s talk about what is coming up almost immediately on next week’s new episode, entitled “Sara.” Obviously, that name alone is a clear reference point to Caity Lotz and her character. Is it a tribute to her? We’re guessing so, given what happened at the end of the premiere: Seemingly, she is no longer with us.

Take a look at the synopsis below for more news on just what you can expect:

“Lance (Paul Blackthorne) calls the Arrow (Stephen Amell) when another archer appears in town and starts skewering businessmen. Diggle (David Ramsey) uses A.R.G.U.S. to find the archer’s identity; he is a man named Simon Lacroix (guest star Matt Ward), who goes by the codename Komodo. However, the team hits a rough patch with the mission and gets help from a surprising source – Laurel (Katie Cassidy). Meanwhile, Oliver begins to worry that he hasn’t heard from Thea (Willa Holland), which forces Roy (Colton Haynes) to tell him the truth about why she left town. Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh) pursues Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards). In the flashback, Maseo (guest star Karl Yune) tells Oliver that Amanda Waller has ordered his first kill. As Oliver looks down the scope of the rifle, he sees the target is his best friend, Tommy (guest star Colin Donnell). Despite her promise to her sister, Laurel debates sharing a secret about Sara (Caity Lotz) with Lance.”

Are we excited about this story? Definitely, but we’ve got to wait and see how things unfold. At least “Arrow” did not start the season off with a whimper, and there are some big things coming up the rest of the way. Admittedly, though, we’re going to be sad and reflective over this for a while.
