If there is anything that the "Arrow" producers are good at, it is teasing the fans as to Felicity's fate in the coming second half of Season 4.
A new preview for "Arrow" season 4, episode 10 has been released and now it seems all the more that creators of the show are milking fans' anxiousness regarding the status of Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards). There are no scenes showing Felicity in the new preview for the "Revenge" episode yet viewers have been treated to a longer shot of the graveyard setting where Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) is seen uttering the words, "I'm gonna kill him."
Other scenes in the trailer showed Thea (Willa Holland), Oliver's sister, telling him that Felicity is already out of surgery but the doctor did not divulge anything about her present condition. The trailer then showed Felicity's mom, Donna (Charlotte Ross), sitting on a chair in the hallway trying to fight tears as Oliver approaches her.
Unless these actors are just bad at their craft, one could assume that Felicity is not really going to die. Oliver's graveyard scene lacked the pain of losing someone he truly loved and based on Donna's reaction, it would seem that Felicity may have gone into something less threatening than death. It could very well be that with the gunshot wound Felicity obtained from the ambush, she may have been paralyzed or maybe in a temporary comma.
Therefore, the whole graveyard scene opens up a list of possible character deaths. International Business Times mentioned that there could be four more possible people who could be killed off in "Arrow" season 4. Captain Lance (Paul Blackthorne) is a candidate and so are Oiver's son and Samantha Clayton (Anna Hopkins).
What is curious though is the inclusion of John Diggle (David Ramsey) in the list. A very likely possibility given that in the new promo, John is shown saying, "I got your back." The character seemed all too calm as if there is a foreshadowing going on. Also, John's bother, Andy (Eugene Byrd), is a known ally of Damien Darhk (Neil McDonough). Creators might play with these family issues between the Diggles and have Andy kill John as per Darhk's orders.
"Arrow" season 4, episode 10 will be back on Jan. 20, 2016 on The CW.
