As seen in the stills above, Arrow’s season 1, episode 22 “Darkness on the Edge of Town” features a lot of Oliver and Felicity working together. It looks like Felicity isn’t very comfortable as she’s not really used to being in the action. Will Oliver be able to bring out a new confidence in Felicity?

The stills also show a lot of John Barrowman as Malcom Merlyn (aka the Dark Archer). It looks like he will face off against Oliver in this episode. This is obviously leading up to the following week’s episode as it’s the season finale.

The synopsis was also released:

CAN OLIVER OUTWIT OR OUTFIGHT THE DARK ARCHER TO SAVE THE CITY? — With the Undertaking days away, Malcolm (guest star John Barrowman) dons his black hood to conclude business with seismologist Dr. Brion Markov (guest star Eric Floyd) and his team. Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Moira (Susanna Thompson) entertain a number of surprise – and mostly unwelcome – visitors. Hooded confrontations at home and the Meryln Global Group reveal dark secrets. Meanwhile, Roy (guest star Colton Haynes) and Thea (Willa Holland) are still looking out for a hero. Laurel (Katie Cassidy) makes a decision after Tommy’s (Colin Donnell) revelation. In a flashback to the island, Oliver, Slade (guest star Manu Bennett) and Shado (guest star Celina Jade) struggle to prevent Fyers (guest star Sebastian Dunn) from shooting a Ferris Air jet out of the sky. Paul Blackthorne and David Ramsey also star. Roger Cross and Bryon Mann also guest star. John Behring directed the episode written by Drew Z. Greenberg & Wendy Mericle (#122).
