Arrow season 6 episode 18: Is trouble ahead for Oliver, Felicity, & William?

Following tonight’s big episode featuring Stephen Amell and David Ramsey, Arrow season 6 episode 18 is going to be a very different sort of episode. Be prepared to see a visit from an “old friend” of Oliver Queen, and be also be prepared to see him in one of his darkest places yet. He’s questioning his identity, his future, and his status as a husband and father. This is going to be one of the most difficult episodes for him probably since at least the end of season 5 — he does have people who love him and could be there for him, but is he also going to end up pushing them away?

Just like tonight’s episode is a big one for Amell and Ramsey, we’re already expecting this one to be a very important one for Emily Bett Rickards. If you are a fan of Original Team Arrow and rich stories featuring these characters at the center of them, there is a pretty good chance that you probably enjoy some of what the series is doing right now. One of the only questions that remains is what it’s going to take to bring Oliver out of the abyss.

Below, the Arrow season 6 episode 18 synopsis offers up some other insight as to what is coming up:

OLIVER IS VISITED BY A GHOST FROM HIS PAST – In his darkest place yet, Oliver (Stephen Amell) wonders if he has failed at everything – being a father, a mayor and a hero. His frustration rising, Oliver lashes out at Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) and William (guest star Jack Moore). A surprising visit from an old friend has Oliver questioning his next move. Ben Bray directed the episode written by Speed Weed & Emilio Ortega Aldrich (#618). Original airdate 4/12/2018.

We are gearing up for the home stretch of the season and it’s pretty darn clear that Ricardo Diaz is not going away in the near future. After all, the episode after this one is entitled “The Dragon” and per some of the current signs out there, this should be one of the biggest installments for that character so far. You’ll learn more about who he is, and that foundation will help to set the stage all the better for what is the epic ending … and hopefully an epic foundation that is set for season 7.

If you missed it … Arrow has been renewed for a seventh season! You can read a little bit more information on that right now over at the link here.
