Oliver/Felicity-Centric Episode Will Offer 'Full-On Exploration' of Why Season 4 Breakup Happened 

 episode — which Stephen Amell has dubbed “Team Arrow vs. Team Felicity” — The CW series will deliver an overdue deep dive into Oliver and Felicity’s infamous Season 4 breakup.

Amell first teased the “Olicity”-centric episode last month, tweeting that he was filming the “first episode EVER where the same actor shares every single one of my scenes with me. Going to be great.” He added, “And by my scenes I mean our scenes. By definition. Super cool episode.”

Amell was referring to Season 5, Episode 20, which is titled “Underneath” and revisits, in depth, Felicity’s termination of their wedding engagement after learning that Oliver 1) had a son, 2) didn’t tell her, and 3) then didn’t include his bride-to-be in the decision to send young William and his mother away, to safety.

“One of the things that we’ve always wanted to do, and I think a lot of the fans have asked for, is basically deal with the consequences of Episode 415 [when] Oliver and Felicity ended their engagement and broke up,”

co-showrunner Marc Guggenheim tells TVLine. “They never really had a full-on discussion or exploration of why that breakup happened. Felicity just sort of reached her breaking point and walked out the door” — that is, after the tech that remedied her gunshot-induced paralysis kicked in, allowing her to rise from her wheelchair to her feet.

“This is definitely an examination of the state of their breakup,” the EP reiterates. “It comes out of the events of 519 [titled ‘Dangerous Liaisons’ aka ‘Team Arrow vs. Team Felicity’] and, quite frankly, all the other episodes that led up to it. Something happens in 519 [airing Wednesday, April 26] that really tees up this conversation.”

Wow. I can’t believe it and it only took over a year! I’ve been wanting to know why they acted like they were never together or almost engaged. It definitely threw me earlier this season. Sounds good. Can’t wait.

I thought they broke up cause it was an early birthday gift from Marc.

I am so excited for this episode!! It has been a long time coming! The final 5 episodes of the season will be amazing!

Same. I’m more pumped for these last few episodes than I have been for the whole season. It’s been hit and miss for me but these sound so good.

felicity will lead a team, oliver will lead his team. a lot of action and olicity finally rise again

i dont think olicity will come back right away, but i think this episode will allow felicity to finally understand why oliver keeps secrets. He doesnt want to expose the ones he loves to true darkness. Something felicity can understand only when she experiences darkness, and realize this is exactly what oliver was hoping wouldnt ever happen to her. This, in turn, will lay the foundation for a potential revival of their relationship.

Agreed. If Olicity are getting back together, I don’t think it will happen yet. Maybe not even this season. But this is definitely a step closer. The fact that they’re acknowledging their relationship again after almost a whole season of silence makes me hopeful. I was losing hope tbh.

Well it’s about damn time someone commented on the giant green elephant in the room. I could comment about how *twenty effing episodes* is a long time to explain character dynamics, but I think it’s just a weakness of network seasons being so long.

As a massive Olicity fan, I’m not holding my breath. The break-up made no sense. Maybe, for some, the couple made no sense to begin with and fair enough if that is your opinion. I’m not arguing that point. What I am saying is that, whether the couple made sense to you, their break up came out of nowhere. An “exploration” a year-plus down the road won’t change the fact that the show’s PTBs violated the one cardinal rule of TV: show, don’t tell.

I agree to an extent. It’s definitely way overdue to talk about their break up. I don’t know why it has taken so long. I also agree that the break up came out of nowhere. It was messy and so badly done but they obviously wanted them to break up for a while & just went about it in the worst way possible.

Something has been missing on the show and between these two & I’m just glad they’re acknowledging it again. We’ll see how it plays out though. I won’t be holding my breath either simply because I think they’ve done Olicity dirty this whole season so far & I’m wondering how that’s gonna suddenly change.

Finally a real discussion between olicity about their break up!!!! Can’t wait for that episode !!!!!
