Katherine McNamara Promises a 'Beautiful' Ending for Olicity & 'Arrow'
If you still haven't recovered from saying goodbye to Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) twice during the Arrowverse "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover, you might want to prepare yourself for more emotional moments to come.
There are only two episodes left of Arrow, with the series finale airing Tuesday, January 28 after a one-hour special featuring interviews with Amell, the cast, and executive producers Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, and Beth Schwartz. And while we don't know much about "Fadeout" — all the logline tells us is that "after eight seasons, and the launch of countless superheroes, the series wraps up the story of the Green Arrow" and Emily Bett Rickards returns as Felicity — we did learn a few tidbits from Katherine McNamara.
The actress couldn't say much, but she did tease that she worked with Rickards again. "[It] was such a joy," she told TV Insider. "I'm glad she was able to come back. It wouldn't have felt right without her."
Through Season 7's flashforwards, fans saw what life was like for McNamara's Mia growing up with Felicity, but of course, that's all been changed due to "Crisis." (We'll see that in the penultimate episode of the series, "Green Arrow and the Canaries.") And it's unclear if any or all of Felicity's Season 7 finale ending — she presumably went off to join Oliver — will still happen.
As for what the future might hold for Mia's parents and how that might affect her, McNamara didn't want to spoil anything. "You get to see something and it's beautiful and I shed many tears on and off set about it," she teased. "It's really lovely, and I don't want to say anymore because I don't want to spoil it for people, but it's perfect."
And she used "beautiful" to describe the series finale as a whole. "I'm so glad we were able to tie up the loose ends that we could, revisit those nostalgic moments, and really give the legacy the honor it deserves," she said.

i couldn’t add more people and scenes cause i didn’t have scene packs yet, sorry 🥺 [and i didn’t left lance sisters on purpose, same reason - i didn’t have scene packs ;//] [maybe i’ll post this again with more scenes&people]
// he's had his fair share of tragedies in his life, but he also had happiness, love, deep friendships; i wanted to do some positive edit with oliver and when i heard this song, welp - I HAD TO. [and i know it's not perfect, i edited faster than usual 👀]
// i don't know if it's someting that really happens or is it just me [most likely lol] but after posting i ALWAYS have this impression that it's not on a beat, like the video shifted somehow by this little precious second or something. and i spend hours to make sure that the transitions are JUST ON A FREAKING TIME. seriously. i look really closely, i listen to the same second of the song on repeat about 204893 times, and then i'm posting this and it's like 'has it shifted somehow, or is it just me? WHAT'S GOING ON???'. and, you know, also usual stuff like seeing imperfections after saving so you end up frustrated and proud at the same time because it's not so bad BUT- gahah editors thing
but with this shifting it's like EVERY SINGLE TIME and i don't really know if i'm being delusional maybe or is it really happening XD
Episode 3 just made my day. I haven’t felt this excited about upcoming episode for a long time! And this news just made everything even better💕💕beyond happy🏹💚
