The CW recently released a promotional sneak peek at next week's episode of Arrow, and it looks like Oliver and Felicity might finally get a chance to hook up.
Of course, this being Arrow, where nothing is as it seems and nothing ever goes right for our favorite couple, it's likely that this moment of passion will see an interruption, possibly even by Ra's Al Ghul himself.
However, it seems that in next week's episode, Oliver is finally getting over the "we can't be together because the people around me always get hurt" phase of his superhero brooding, finally allowing Felicity into his heart and his bed.
This week's episode saw Felicity's relationship with Ray Palmer fall flat when she couldn't return his affections after he told her he loved her.
Of course, fans of the series knew this was coming: we've been shipping Olicity since the two characters first met.
The title of this trailer is "Sacrifice Look Ahead," though, so it's likely that the first thing to get sacrificed (again) is Oliver and Felicity's love for each other. The episode will also deal with the fallout of Roy handing himself over as the Arrow to save Oliver's life, but it looks like Oliver and Team Arrow aren't going to let Roy stay in jail.
The sneak peek hints at a jailbreak, which will likely make Oliver even more unpopular with the Starling City police force, particularly with Detective Lance, who is still upset about the death of his daughter Sara and his other daughter, Laurel, taking over her superhero duties as Black Canary.
Ra's Al Ghul also puts in an appearance in this clip, still terrorizing Starling City until Oliver agrees to take over as the new leader of the League of Assassins. And Ray gets to suit up as The Atom, this time actually fighting crime and helping out the Arrow team.
The teaser ends with the enigmatic words "this only ends one way," with Oliver tied up waiting to receive a brand, hinting that perhaps he's finally agreed to Al Ghul's demands.
An all-new Arrow airs on The CW on Wednesday, April 15, with only four episodes remaining of the season after that.
