The episode, which had the title “Canary Cry” featured the Team Arrow, led by Oliver Queen, coming to the support of Captain Lance as he deals with a difficult time given the insurmountable pain he is feeling for losing a daughter.
As a father, he attempted at asking Nyssa, played by Katrina Law, to bring her daughter back at the Lazarus Pit in Nanda Parbat and also seeking the approval of Oliver for it.
Captain Lanced had hallucinations that Laurel is still alive because he continues to have sightings of the Black Canary, hinting of the possibility that a copycat is out or the original Black Canary was coming back in Sarah Lance.
In a recent interview with executive producers Marc Guggenheim and Wendy Mericle, they confirmed that Laurel’s demise is not fake. They admitted that they have done fake deaths in the TV series before but they will not do it again in the case of Laurel.
Paul Blackthorne, who was also with the two showrunners during the interview, interjected that the death of Laurel was just devastating for Quentin because it was something that was never supposed to happen.
The actor said that his character has to pick up the pieces and not the bottle and reconcile with whatever is left in his life. He still has the Team Arrow as family and he is now finding his anchor in them without Laurel.
