Arrow: Here Are 10+ Questions the Big Flash-Forward Episode Better Answer
Arrow‘s Season 7 flash-forwards have ushered in one mystery after another. Thankfully, this week’s episode promises to deliver at least some long-awaited answers — as well as Oliver and Felicity’s baby (in a manner of speaking)!
In “Star City 2040 (airing Monday at 8/7c on The CW), the grown Queen children, Mia and William, head out on “a dangerous mission” to the Glades, where they run into Dinah, Roy and Zoe. The episode’s flash-forwards will also shed light on Mia’s childhood with her mom, something about which we have questions. In fact, we have many queries about that tantalizing and mystifying (and bleak) future. So ahead of Monday’s time jump, we present all of our flash-forward Qs. (We only expect to have some answered next week, but it doesn’t hurt to ask, right?)
