Since Moira’s Season 2 demise, Thompson has returned to Arrow three times. In addition to an uncredited, voice-only role in Season 3’s “Canaries,” she resurfaced in the milestone 100th episode, then again in the Season 5 finale.

Arrow’s eighth and final season is slated to air Tuesdays at 9/8c, where it will now follow Season 6 of The Flash. (Watch our Comic-Con cast Q&A here.)
