‘Arrow’ episode 21 preview: The search for Walter
After last week’s substantial episode of “Arrow,” which really served in many ways as a demonstration as to how alone in the world Oliver Queen really is right now, you would almost expect for the show to directly follow this trajectory up with something rather similar. However, we’re learning now that this may not necessarily be the case.
Wednesday night’s new episode of the superhero drama carries with it the title of “The Undertaking,” and rather than trying to win Diggle back right away, one of the major themes for this is trying to figure out whether or not Walter is still alive, and if he is, where he could be. This is a man that is tied greatly to the Queen family, and he may be at the center of the mysteries that involves both Oliver’s mother as well as the Dark Archer.
While there is sadly very little mentioning of the character in the promo below, you can check out a few details courtesy of the following synopsis:
“Finding it difficult to mend fences with Tommy (Colin Donnell) and Diggle (David Ramsey), Oliver (Stephen Amell) instead focuses on crossing another name off the list. While digging through a crooked accountant’s laptop, Felicity (guest star Emily Bett Rickards) discovers a transaction that could help Oliver find Walter. To reconfirm the lead, Oliver gambles that Felicity can be counted on in the field for the first time. In a flashback, Malcolm (guest star John Barrowman) reveals to Robert Queen (guest star Jamey Sheridan) and Frank Chen (guest star Chin Han) painful details surrounding his wife’s murder, and how that shaped his plans for the Glades. Meanwhile, Tommy (Colin Donnell) stuns Laurel (Katie Cassidy) with the truth.”
In case you are wondering why Rickards has “guest star” next to her name, it is because the series regular promotion is not going to happen until the show premieres in the fall with season 2. The same also will go to Colton Haynes, who is not actually mentioned here.
Do you wish at this point in “Arrow” that they would focus more on a specific plot with a defined villain appearing every week? If you want to read our most-recent episode review, you can do so over at the link here.
