Arrow Season 7: 10 Easter Eggs & References You Might Have Missed In 'Inmate 4587'
1. Flash-Forwards
During the Season 7 premiere, the present-day narrative was often interrupted by what appeared to be a flashback arc, showcasing a mysterious stranger arriving on Lian Yu. However, by the end of the episode, viewers were left stunned by the arrival of an older Roy Harper, and were even more stunned to discover that the stranger was William - highlighting that these weren't flashbacks, they were flash-forwards.
From their transitions to their recurring presence throughout the episode, these flash-forwards were undoubtedly a callback to Arrow's flashback-heavy early seasons, and this was only reinforced further by the fact that they actually took place on Lian Yu. A cool little nod to the past that also symbolised the show's exciting new era.
