Arrow Season 4: 12 Big Questions We're Asking After 'Broken Hearts'

“Not a dream sequence. Not a hallucination. Not an alternate reality. Not a flash forward to a potential future.” So said showrunner Marc Guggenheim when he tweeted this photo a month ago, and he wasn't lying. It wasn't exactly the happy scenario many had pictured though. 

Instead it was the latest twist in the story of Olicity, bringing the pair back together for a fake wedding, although the words Oliver says are very much real. Despite their assertions that they love each other and want to be together, the episode ends with their relationship still very much over, and given Felicity isn't wearing a ring in the flash-forward, a reconciliation doesn't seem to be coming anytime soon. Is it really over, or will we one day get to see this scene play out properly? 

A bigger question is should we? Many fans wished for Olicity (something even the show calls the couple this week), while others hate the idea of it, either because it goes against the comics and the relationship with Laurel, or more commonly simply because it turns this show from superhero to soap opera. 

There's no doubting the great chemistry between Stephen Amell and Emily Bett Rickards, which is why this relationship happened in the first place, but it has now gotten to the point where it's dragging the characters and the story down. If they can find a way of making it work, then great, but as it stands it may be for the best that it's over.
