As set photos spoiled a week before the episode aired, Katie Cassidy's Black Canary was the fallen member of Team Arrow in s04e18 "Eleven-Fifty-Nine". However, in the character's final moments, Laurel managed to whisper something in Oliver's ear that the audience wasn't privy to - was it a final confession of love? A request for revenge? A plea to watch over her father?
Laurel's final words could have consisted of many things but it appears that the reveal won't come before season 4 wraps. What Arrow executive producer Marc Guggenheim did confirm is that Laurel's request wasn't to fake her death, so it appears that the character is well and truly dead. "No, no. We've done that. We've done a fake death before. And that's the thing, it's like we're always you know trying to figure out, what's the way to do this? You know that fake out when she was okay and then she wasn't, was again our attempt, you know? How do we do a death that we haven't done before?"
MALCOLM MAKES HIS MOVE - Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Diggle (David Ramsey) learn that Merlyn (John Barrowman) is going to try to break Darhk (guest star Neal McDonough) out of prison. Meanwhile, Laurel (Katie Cassidy) gets a surprising offer and Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) has a heart-to-heart talk with Curtis (guest star Echo Kellum). Rob Hardy directed the episode written by Marc Guggenheim & Keto Shimizu (#418).
