4. Sara Lance’s Death
How many times does Oliver have to see Sara Lance die? He saw it once on the Queen’s Gambit, on the Amazo, and after then being shot in the stomach with three arrows and falling off a roof, dying in Laurel’s arms. This is something we did not see coming.
The Season Three premier of Arrow set the tone of the season, perhaps the darkest the Arrowverse has ever gone. By this point, two of the regular cast had been killed off, Moira and Tommy. We anticipated another death at some point in the season, but what we did NOT expect was for it to happen in the first episode of the season.
What makes this death even more painful is that we later learn it was a drugged Thea that killed Sara. The last thing Sara saw before her death was her friend firing arrows into her. Of course she would later be resurrected, but at the time our hearts were broken.
