‘Arrow’ season 3, episode 19 preview: Preparing for potential death and other matters

There have been very few episodes of “Arrow” that carry a “grab your Kleenex” warning quite like “Broken Arrow.” We’ve heard about Wednesday’s installment for weeks now. Stephen Amell and Colton Haynes have each claimed that some of the most difficult material they’ve ever had to do is in this episode. Does that mean that a character dies? We’re not going to get too much into that in this article, mostly because there is really not that much of a point in speculating. We almost don’t want to be right, mostly because we don’t want to ruin any potential surprise for ourselves.

Now that we have said this, we can at least offer you a few assorted details about the story of this episode as a whole, and how it could be one to remember for a long time moving forward.

1. Roy Harper is clearly in big danger. He is currently under arrest after proclaiming that he is the Arrow. It was his hope of redemption after killing the cop lasting hear, and he has a chance now to let Oliver live free (at least for a little while).

2. Will Captain Lance soften his stance? We know that Joe West is coming to Starling City on “The Flash” next week, so if nothing else, he will at least find the time to distract himself from a manhunt to help out with the Harrison Wells investigation.

3. Deathbolt is coming! In the midst of all the hype surrounding the circumstance, it is easy to forget that character-master Doug Jones will be appearing as a character who could appear on both this show and “The Flash.”

4. It should go without saying, but the events of this episode will change the entire series in a HUGE way.
