‘Arrow’ season 4, episode 15 preview: Vixen enters the fray in ‘Taken’

It’s interesting the strategy of “Arrow” and “The Flash” these days. This week, the two CW shows are airing some of their biggest episodes of the season so far, and it feels like going into next week, the two are going more for storylines that are a little bit more of the one-off variety.

Specifically, what makes next week’s all-new “Taken” interesting is the fact that we’re going to see Vixen for the first time on the show after appearing in the CW Seed series, where there was an animated crossover between “Arrow” and “The flash.” Therefore, rest assured that there is some sort of established history between these characters already.

If you want to see the synopsis for some further details, take a look at it below:

“Oliver (Stephen Amell) realizes he needs help battling Darhk (guest star Neal McDonough) so he calls in an old friend – Vixen (guest star Megalyn E.K.). Using her magical ability to summon animal powers, Vixen gets a lock on Darhk’s location and the team goes to war.”

Vixen is hyped up in a pretty awesome way in the video below, but we think more so than that the thing that will surprise many people out there is getting to see the truth finally come out in regards to Oliver and Felicity. He has a child, and this is someone he’s going to have to try and protect. Also, he needs to figure out a way to explain this to her without completely devastating his engagement in the process. No easy task.
