Arrow Season 7: 10 Easter Eggs & References You Might Have Missed In 'Inmate 4587'

10. Into The Woods

Arrow's Season 7 premiere opened with an unknown assailant running through the woods. As the episode began, we were inside this individual's point-of-view as they brushed branches and trees out of their way. It was soon revealed that this was William who was sporting a green hoodie as he tried to escape from Ricardo Diaz.

This was clearly a nod to Arrow's pilot episode, which opened in the exact same manner, with Oliver (wearing his Arrow hood) sprinting through the woods on Lian Yu. You could take it further and suggest that it's also a nod to the Season 4 premiere, which recycled the woods sprint, only to reveal that Oliver was out for a pleasant morning jog and, much like his son in the Season 7 premiere, he was wearing a green hoodie.
