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

5. Laurel’s Death

Laurel Lance’s death was a blow to Arrow fans. Green Arrow isn’t Green Arrow without Black Canary, and after spending the last two seasons building the character up, it was a huge shame that it was all so she could take an arrow to the chest. Damien Darhk, after breaking out of jail (along with pretty much all the other inmates), was confronted by Team Arrow. After a few minutes of the typical back and forth, Darhk let out his truly ruthless side by using his magic to stop an arrow that Oliver had fired at him and turn it on Laurel.

Darhk had his “reasons”, as Laurel’s father Quentin was inadvertently working for Darhk earlier in the season and gave up his whereabouts to Team Arrow. Darhk vowed his revenge on Quentin, and in one false swoop, he got it. The suspense in the scene came from the fact we already knew a main character was going to die from the tombstone teased throughout the season, and that the scene was dragged out annoyingly long. Not to mention Laurel even survived the arrow at first, mysteriously dying later that night at the hospital.
