‘Arrow’ season 3 spoilers: Oliver, Felicity take center stage in final episodes trailer

What is it with “Arrow” and “The Flash” giving away such major plot points in some of their trailers? Maybe these shows are so confident that they have enough other surprises to make up for it. Otherwise, we’re not entirely sure what they are doing here.

Nonetheless, we know that there are probably going to be plenty of people who love just how much of Oliver and Felicity is hinted at in this new trailer, mostly because they do way more than we ever imagined us getting to see this season! Maybe a breakup between Emily Bett Rickards’ character and Ray Palmer is innocent, since it certainly looks like a steamy scene between her and Oliver is imminent. This clearly is going to be a game-changer, mostly in that this is not something that Oliver is going to be able to take a step back from anymore. His feelings will be out there, and there’s no more hiding behind the whole “I have to protect you” excuse anymore.

Granted, Oliver really doesn’t need to hide behind that at this point. Since everyone knows who he is following the events of “Public Enemy,” what is the point of keeping feelings a secret? The biggest thing he needs to start to figure out is whether or not he can find a place to keep everyone he loves completely safe. This includes not just Thea and Felicity, but also friends / associates like Diggle, Roy, and Laurel. They are all in this operation just as deep as he is.

Also in this trailer, Oliver clearly seems to accept his fate as the new Ra’s al Ghul, at least temporarily. This leads him to have a whole new array of challenges, and the old Ra’s al Ghul is still very much out there.
