Fans also knew that the finale was going to say goodbye to a major character who has been around from the very beginning: Quentin Lance.
Back in early May, news broke that Paul Blackthorne would leave Arrow at end of Season 7, and fans had to wonder how the show would send him off.
Thea got to leave alive and well, but would that be the case for Quentin?
Arrow never holds back on ramping up the intensity for season finales, and the stakes were as high as they’ve ever been for the good guys in “Life Sentence.”
