![]() ![]() It’s one moment with Yao Fei while trapped in a pair of nets that leaves an emotional impact on his return. Related Things Look Grim for Jack Spade in 'Heels' Season 2 Trailer But where other characters having come back in the final season leave each hour with some emotional resonance, many of these appearances fall flat. The Lian Yu returns, from Billy Wintergreen and Fyers to Yao Fei, work for the fun bit of nostalgia and serve as solid throwbacks. Arrow - “Purgatory” - Image Number: AR807B_0126b.jpg - Pictured (L-R): Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen/Green Arrow, David Ramsey as John Diggle/Spartan, Katie Cassidy as Laurel Lance/Black Siren, Rick Gonzalez as Rene Ramirez/Wild Dog, Katherine McNamara as Mia, Juliana Harkavy as Dinah Drake/Black Canary and Joseph David-Jones as Connor Hawke - Photo: Colin Bentley/The CW - © 2019 The CW Network, LLC. It’s a quick moment, but it’s still heartbreaking to see them have to say goodbye. He comes to terms with Lyla’s choices just in time to see her be called to do her part to save the Multiverse in the “Crisis.” There is always sacrifice involved, and if there’s one person that would understand withholding information for the greater good, it would be Diggle.

With time not on anyone’s side, I’m glad we get to see the 3 of them together at least for a while, and each working through their understanding behind what Lyla is doing with Mar Novu while Connor’s understanding of the importance of the mission-even without many details-Diggle’s dealing with this secret about as well as Mia did when she learned of Oliver’s fate. Meanwhile, the Diggle family arc throughout the hour is wonderfully done as Diggle works through the realization of how long Lyla has withheld information about her work with Mar Novu. The pair have come a very long way from when they first realized they were related in 2040 on Arrow Season 7 Episode 13, “Star City Slayer.” I love that William continues to impart what he’s learned from the painful lessons he’s had over the years with Mia to make her understand.

The news about his impending death goes over about as well as you’d expect considering how little time the pair, specifically Mia, has had with their father.īut in that anger and lack of understanding, there are emotionally poignant moments between the Queen-Smoak siblings to work through their own feelings about the news. Without any time left, Oliver is forced to finally tell William and Mia about his post- “Crisis on Infinite Earths” fate. With Oliver and the others back on Lian Yu, Oliver comes face to face with the dead and another round of heartbreaking goodbyes on Arrow Season 8 Episode 7, “Purgatory.” ![]()
