I'm really, really happy with it because everything's sort of laid bare and it's all out there. ![]() 3.02, I have to say, is one of our best episodes. "With us, you never know how soon things will get resolved or in what way they'll get resolved. "We're also going to turn to a suspect in the killing," Guggenheim says. Guggenheim reveals that Laurel is going to be at the center of the next episode as she mourns her sister, but another, major storyline is also going to develop: finding Sara's murderer. It definitely has repercussions for Oliver and Felicity, and it has repercussions for Felicity and Ray Palmer, and obviously for Laurel." Do they tell Lance, for example, that his daughter died a second time? There's the emotional repercussions for everybody. There's the question of what should be done with Sara's body there's the question of who do they tell. I don't want to spoil it too much, but we chose the title 'Sara' because it actually has a double meaning. "Honestly, 3.02 is probably one of our most emotionally gut-wrenching episodes-as it needs to be, as it should be-because this character's death affects all of the characters on the show," Guggenheim says. Get ready for a rough few episodes, as everyone deals with Sara's death in different ways. I think as a result, I wouldn't call it a departure episode but it's definitely an episode with a different spin to it, for sure." This episode is sort of the first time we've actually really taken our time and really spent time with these characters in the wake of a major character's death. "In 2.21, after Moira's death, we sort of dealt with the repercussions of that by taking Oliver out of the show, essentially. "When we killed off Tommy in 1.23, we went to a season finale end and a hiatus, so we never really dealt with the repercussions of his death," Guggenheim says. Unlike previous major character deaths on Arrow, Sara's death is going to allow the show to explore how it affects everyone. It's always a hard thing to do but it is really the engine that's driving the whole third season." He continues, "It speaks to all the things that we wanted to do this year in terms of Laurel's character, in terms of Oliver's character, in terms of Felicity's character. It really kicks off a mystery that will drive us for at least the first half of the year, it will set Laurel on a trajectory she's never had before on the show, it will create all these other complications and dynamics that I can't talk about because it would spoil stuff, and it buys us a lot of story." We always call it the terrible story math. But as with Tommy's death, as with Moira's death, the story implications for this development are so far-reaching for the show and affect all of the characters. It's really, really, really, really difficult. "Any time we kill off a character from the show it's always incredibly hard," Guggenheim says. Guggenheim and the rest of the Arrow writers didn't make this decision lightly. We did make a contract with Caity for three episodes, so I wasn't lying and you certainly haven't seen the last of her." There's still a lot of story left to be told with Sara. "The truth is, we have stories that involve Caity Lotz and one of the beautiful parts of the show is we do flashbacks, and we still want to tell the story of what happened when Sara washed up on the shores of Lian Yu after the events of 223, the sinking of the Amazo and how she met Nyssa and how she joined the League of Assassins. "I wasn't lying! Totally true! You're going to see her in the next episode, and then you're going to see her in at least a third episode," Guggenheim says. But wait, isn't Caity Lotz already confirmed to be in three episodes of season three?! Before you get your hopes up, Arrow executive producer Marc Guggenheim reveals that yes, Sara really is dead (*sobs*), but she will be in more episodes this season.via flashback. ![]()
