Two major events took place on Arrow Season 3 Episode 15:

  1. After a night with Felicity (ooooh, yeah!!!), Ray took flight at A.T.O.M.
  2. Oliver’s life was spared by Ra’s al Ghul because the archer made our hero a stunning offer: Would he like to become the leader of The League of Assassins?

Fans have a great deal to now ponder during the show’s hiatus, as we encourage them to watch Arrow online in order to relive these dramatic developments on more time:

As for what comes next?

Our friends at TV Fanatic sat down with producers Andrew Kreisberg and Marc Guggenheim for a preview of where things will head now…

“Oliver is completely – as hopefully the audience is – taken aback, because he was not expecting,” Kreisberg said Oliver being presented with “the keys to the kingdom.”

The subsequent set of episodes will chronicle Oliver’s reaction and decision, as the League is now “a different kind of threat, because they’re asking him to join up. [But] as Malcolm tells him in a subsequent episode, [Ra’s is] not really asking.”

How will Nyssa feel about her dad passing her over as heir?

“There’s a scene in [Arrow Season 3 Episode 16] between Nyssa and Ra’s that definitely addresses that,” Guggenheim says. “From Nyssa’s perspective, it has everything to do with Sara. From Ra’s perspective? Maybe, maybe not."

Look for Nyssa to head off on a “different trajectory” when the series picks up in March.

On the personal front, is this really it for Felicity and Oliver a couple? Teases Guggenheim:

"Right now, Oliver has decided that [he] can’t do this, and Felicity’s not just going to sit around waiting for him. She’s probably the most healthy of all of them.

"He’s the one shutting himself down, emotionally, when he has this amazing person who’s basically offering him hope, guidance, friendship and love and everything. He doesn’t feel he deserves it and doesn’t feel that’s what’s best for her, whether she agrees with it or not."

Plus, come on: it’s Brandon Routh as Ray! Can you blame the gal?!?

Finally, what kind of superhero will Ray/A.T.O.M. make? And how will he fit in with the one we already know and adore?

Ray will “go about things in a very different way than the Arrow does,” Guggenheim previews. “And he’s not a part of Team Arrow. Right now, he’s just a very smart guy in a very, very powerful suit. Oliver’s definitely going to have an opinion, and the first instance of that will be in Episode 317.”
