Caitlin had already learned their plan from Savitar. Cisco finally

for Ravi to give him the cure!
Arrow: Before
the start of this season, Ollie and Felicity had a one night stand,
but Felicity told Ollie she wasn’t ready to get back together
because of his trust issues. In the present, an EMP blast threw
Arrow HQ into lockdown and trapped Oliver and Felicity, who
couldn’t walk because her spinal implant was fried. The rest of the
team worked to free them from the outside and accepted help from
Lyla, even though she and Diggle were still fighting. A methane
leak caused Ollie and Felicity to go further underground. Thanks to
some ARGUS souped-up T-spheres and a dramatic rope-climbing rescue
from Diggle, Ollie and Felicity reached safety. Lyla and Diggle
kissed and made up and Felicity told Ollie she understood why he
kept secrets from her. Last Minute Reveal: Oliver’s son William got
