Last week on Arrow, we got the second half of the 2-night crossover event, which had the two camps hiding out in the country. Oliver (Stephen Amell) ran a secret DNA test through Barry (Grant Gustin) and “It’s a boy!” Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) found out and their relationship seems over. They meet Savage (Casper Crump) with a plan and everyone dies, except Barry. HE runs back in time, and tells Oliver, who makes a different plan in both Savage strategy and Felicity strategy.

The second part of the 2-night crossover event aired tonight in the Arrowverse. Arrow, two weeks ago, had Diggle (David Ramsey) and his H.I.V.E, not-dead-just-brainwashed brother fighting, as his brother was part of Damian Darhk’s crew. Thea (Willa Holland) was able to cure her bloodlust temporarily (and accidentally) via Darhk (Neal McDonough). Last night on The Flash, Vandal Savage (Casper Crump) was introduced as the biggest bad of them all – a 4,000-year old immortal with a perpetual murderous focus on Hawkman and Hawkgirl (Falk Hentschel and Ciara Renee). Hawkgirl aka Kendra has to jump off a building to open herself up to her powers. Cisco (Carlos Valdes) is kinda pissed Hawkman is moving in on his girl. Dr. Wells and Caitlyn (Tom Cavanagh and Danielle Panabaker) develop a speed drug, which Jay Garrick (Teddy Sears) has to take to save Dr. Wells life. Oliver (Stephen Amell) realizes he may have a kid. I have been waiting for this since season 2!

Do not proceed any further if you haven’t watched the “Legends of Yesterday” episode yet. Serious spoilers!

Arrow and The Flash are skipping Thanksgiving week next week, and we will all be quite sad. However, beginning with The Flash on Tuesday, December 1st, and continuing on Arrow on Wednesday, December 2nd, comes the 2-night crossover event we’ve been waiting for since the season began. Crossovers between these two shows were the highlights of last season for both of them. We’ve had some guest appearances, but nothing like this.

Watch the extended crossover trailer here below.

Air Date: Wednesday, November 18th, 2015, 8:00pm

Last week on Arrow, Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) finally finds Ray (Brandon Routh)! Except that he is really tiny and being held captive in a teeny glass box by Damian Darhk (Neal McDonough). There’s an elaborate rescue plan (isn’t there always?), helped tremendously by Lance (Paul Blackthorne), which involves Oliver’s captivity. Hopefully, getting Ray back will help Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Felicity get back on track. Although it was fun watching Diggle (David Ramsey) and Oliver bond over whisky and relationships. Felicity’s mom (guest star Charlotte Ross) shows up, and of course that drives Ms. Smoak cuckoo. Sara (Caity Lotz) leaves town.

Spoilers below.

Last week on Arrow, John Constantine guest starred! It made me indescribably happy to see Matt Ryan on the show, not only in present day Star City, but also in the flashbacks in Lian Yu, finally making that storyline a hell of a lot more interesting. After Oliver (Stephen Amell) finds out that Sara (Caity Lotz) is alive but soulless, and out to kill Thea (Willa Holland), he calls in a favor from a friend. That friend is John Constantine, whose life Oliver saved back on the island. Constantine takes Laurel (Katie Cassidy) and Oliver into the other realm to fight for Sara’s soul, and they win. The Lance family has a tearful reunion. Holt (Echo Kellum) discovers that Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh) is alive!
