“Arrow” is taking another break at the moment but the show will return on April 27 with the episode “Canary Cry.” The episode will deal will Team Arrow’s grief as they try to move on after the death of Laurel Lance. The official synopsis is teasing that the Black Canary will reemerge in Star City despite Laurel’s untimely death. You can check out the official synopsis along with a preview for the episode below.
Oliver (Stephen Amell) and the team struggle to come to terms with Laurel’s (Katie Cassidy) death, especially Diggle (David Ramsey) who is overwhelmed with guilt for choosing to believe Andy (guest star Eugene Byrd) had changed. Meanwhile, Lance (Paul Blackthorne) refuses to believe his daughter is really gone and asks Nyssa (guest star Katrina Law) to help bring her back. A recent Black Canary sighting in Star City only seems to prove his theory that Laurel isn’t actually dead.
Arrow producer Marc Guggeinheim recently teased at a press screening that someone else could be taking up the mantle of Black Canary following the events of “Eleven Fifty-Nine.”
“I think it’s a mantle that multiple people have had. We’ll play with that notion in episode 19.” Guggenheim said. “I personally like the idea that DC Comics, all the comics, they all have the concept of legacy. We’ve seen on Legends that someone picks up Oliver Queen’s mantle, for example. We’re in that world, but we lean into it pretty strongly in 19. That doesn’t always mean that the person is a hero. [Episode] 19 is the answer to that question.”
