Felicity adapts fairly quickly to the fact that she'll never walk again, and by the end of the episode has really started to accept the fact, and resumed her position as part of Team Arrow. Oliver, however, gives a speech about how he will never stop trying to find a cure, in particular with this world of people with speed, people who can shrink and so on. In fairness to him, he's not just being nice, he has a genuine point. You have to believe that, in a show where there is time-travel and metahumans and all sorts of technology created by geniuses at STAR Labs and Palmer Tech, there has to be someone who can find a way of curing her paralysis. Even aside from that, it's just difficult to imagine the show - and the actress - wanting a main character confined to a wheelchair for the remainder of its run, or at least however long Felicity has on the show (but it looks like being a while yet). No, it'll stay this way for a while, but eventually they'll find a way. The only question is how, and who: Ray? Curtis? The STAR Labs team? A super science team of all of them?

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far.
A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
