I think that its someone closer to Felicity, Rickards tells EW.

I always thought it would be somebody closer to Felicity.

I just think that its probably going to hurt everyone a lot, likea lot.

I feel like her feelings there werent unprecedented, but obviously it was a different timeline.

With this coming up, it puts a big stake in their relationship.

It makes it known that she doesnt really know 100 percent who shes in a relationship with.

It hurts her pretty bad.

By taking Olivers son, Damien Darhk is only further proving that hes not playing fair by any means.

With Darhk, we still dont know the magnitude of his powers, Rickards says.

We havent really figured out where we can draw the line with him.

Could someone potentially end up being multiple people?

There could always be more casualties on our show, Rickards says.

There are casualties all the time.

That next chapter is Felicity developing a new outlook on life.

She wants to make a difference in the world, which is what shes always wanted.

She seems to have maybe forgot that thats why she started living this life in the first place.

That reignites that for her.

Its like she made a New Years resolution with being able to walk again.

Its like a new year for her.

With that said, will this new outlook make her reconsider being part of the team?

I would like her to be on Team Arrow, Rickards says.

The area within the lair is literally called Felicitys lair.

I dont know how she wouldnt go back.

My only concern is that if she goes back, its never flippant with her.

She makes a decision based on what her heart is telling her.

I wouldnt want to lose her new goal to go back to what the team means to her.
