The Top 10 Most Suspenseful Moments From ‘Arrow’ & ‘The Flash’

7. Dollmaker Captures Laurel

Arrow season 2 had so much going for it, that even some of the villains of the week provided interesting plots. Take Dollmaker for example. The character was true to the comics in the sense that the villain was a serial killer who turned girls into dolls. At the end of the episode, Dollmaker takes Laurel Lance because he has a history with her father, Quentin. When Dollmaker took Laurel and hooked her up to his machine that turned his victims into dolls, suspense ensued. Not only did he take Laurel, but he also took Quentin and tied him up, forcing him to watch the potential death and “dollification” of his daughter.

The final scene was so suspenseful because of how long it was drawn out. First, Dollmaker hooked Laurel up to his machine as Quentin repeatedly pleaded for her life. When that didn’t work, Dollmaker slowly turned on his machine as the substance that would have turned Laurel into a doll flowed slowly through the tubes getting closer and closer to her mouth. The whole time, Quentin pleads with Dollmaker to let her go and then ultimately begins to console Laurel who he believes is about to die. Of course, right at the very last second, Oliver comes jumping in out of nowhere, shooting an arrow at and disconnecting the main tube that was connected to Laurel’s mouth. Laurel may still be dead as of right now, but at least she isn’t a doll.
