“Arrow” Season 3 will not air a new episode this week on The CW. Episode 19 (“Broken Arrow”), the next new episode, airs on April 15. ATOM joins Team Arrow, while Felicity excites “Olicity” fans in her next (relatively) sexy scene.

Spoiler alert: This update contains “Arrow” Season 3 spoilers. Read on at your own risk.

Episode 19 of “Arrow” Season 3 leads the final five episodes of the current chapter in Oliver Queen’s life. The CW released a promo video a week ago, teasing what happens next from Arrow 3x19 up to the season finale.

Stephen Amell posted the promo video to his Facebook page, saying the clip contains “spoilers everywhere.” Amell’s Oliver Queen manages to stop Ray Palmer aka ATOM (Advanced Technology Operating Mechanism) from attacking him, but Captain Lance is not as easy to appease.

Some of the show’s avid viewers are speculating that Captain Lance will die in “Arrow” Season 3. Both Amell and Paul Blackthorne (who plays Captain Lance) acknowledged this fan theory in their 2-part Facebook Q&A for the fans. However, neither one gave a definitive spoiler on the matter.

Ray Palmer was more than appeased over the idea that Oliver Queen is The Arrow. He is set to join Ollie’s cause as ATOM, as seen in the abovementioned Arrow 3x19 promo video. In the same clip, Felicity is seen in an undressing “red room” situation with Oliver.

Incidentally, Ray tells Felicity he loves her. Episode 18 of “Arrow” Season 3 shows Felicity just couldn’t say it back. Momma Smoak explains her daughter couldn’t say “I love you” back because Oliver is the one she truly loves.

Episode 19 onwards will have more on Oliver’s fight against Ra’s al Ghul, Felicity’s choice, ATOM, Captain Lance, Arsenal/Roy and Black Canary/Laurel. The next new episode is expected to focus on Arsenal aka Roy Harper. By convincing the police that he is The Arrow, Roy saves Oliver from jail in Arrow 3x18.

In the Arrow 3x19 promo, Oliver announces he will get Roy out of prison. In the same clip, Captain Lance tries to convince Roy to recant his statement. The captain now knows Oliver Queen is the man behind the mask, and he wants him to suffer.

“Arrow” Season 3 spoilers and teasers point to more elaborate stunts, bigger drama and emotionally charged plot turns. As bonus for the fans, ATOM and Felicity will show up at S.T.A.R. Labs in another semi crossover episode in “The Flash.”
