After taking a few weeks off, Arrow sure did make one hell of an impact with last night’s returning episode, that being “Brothers & Sisters.” Not only did we finally meet the mysterious villain known as Dante (and learn that Emiko is in collusion with him!), but someone burned Ricardo Diaz alive in his cell at ARGUS. And if that weren’t enough, we also found out that Felicity Smoak is pregnant.
I guess there was really no better time to drop that bomb on the fans because Mia AKA Blackstar has been detailing her lineage in the flash forward segments. And when you do the math, she’d have to be conceived around this time in order to be of fitting age in the future of 2040.
Previously, the notion of an “Olicity” baby had been repeatedly shot down by producers, but it’s understandable they wouldn’t confirm anything because they didn’t want to spoil the back half of season 7. But since Oliver Queen has likely been making love like a man who just got out of prison because, well, he’s a man who just got out of prison, it makes sense to pull the trigger on this now.
Of course, baby Mia probably won’t arrive until season 8, but at least everything aligns in a chronological sense. And with the highly anticipated “Star City 2040” episode set to debut in a couple of weeks, we should have more blanks filled in once the credits roll on that.
But for more info regarding next week’s adventure, “Training Day,” be sure to check out the official synopsis:
