The CW’s holiday gifts to its viewers were 3 trailers for two of its most popular shows, Arrow and The Flash, and one for the most anticipated new show of the year, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow airing January 21st. This Arrow trailer is of course, darker than the others (although The Flash may be able to start giving Arrow a little run for its money), and focuses on Oliver’s (Stephen Amell) need to stop Damian Darhk (Neal McDonough).

Check out the Arrow trailer below.

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.

Spoilers below.

Arrow
Season 4 Episode 8: “Legends of Yesterday”
Directed by Thor Freudenthal
Written by Brian Ford Sullivan & Marc Guggenheim
Created by Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, Andrew Kreisberg
Starring Stephen Amell, Katie Cassidy, David Ramsey, Willa Holland, Emily Bett Rickards, John Barrowman, Paul Blackthorne, Caity Lotz
The CW
Air Date: Wednesday, December 2nd, 2015, 8:00pm

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.

Arrow
Season 4 Episode 7: “Brotherhood”
Directed by James Bamford
Written by Speed Weed & Keto Shimizu
Created by Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, Andrew Kreisberg
Starring Stephen Amell, Katie Cassidy, David Ramsey, Willa Holland, Emily Bett Rickards, John Barrowman, Paul Blackthorne, Caity Lotz
The CW
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.
