Did the promo just spoil [blackout]Nyssa snapping Isabel's neck[/blackout](at 0:13)?
IDK, that could happen. However, given the multiple emotional interactions between Oliver and Felicity last episode, I'm thinking that she might be who Slade goes after. It being Sara would be way too obvious and this show is usually really good at not going the obvious route. Most people didn't call what happened to Tommy in last season's finale for example.
Interesting point though - if the cure works, how Roy is going to be engaged in the battle? He was never sufficiently proficient combatant before. If he is still able to use his extra strength makes him dangerous enought- but how the Mirakuru cure works then?
I wonder if the cure might end up being a stabilizer for the Mirakuru as opposed to a an actual cure.
If Felicity's abduction is meant to do the whole "made them realize what they feel for each other" scenario between Oliver and Felicity, then I could possibly see the two being paired as a couple next season perhaps.
As far as I've seen, this season is pretty much what "Season 8" of Smallville was for Clark and Lois, where the designated ship started to get closer with hints of romance blooming between the two, only for the male lead to take a drastic detour by hooking up with some other female character mid season and thus halting any romantic development until he's broken up with that other female character.lol
I am afraid that Sarah will die in the battle and her body is taken by Nyssa (which may be a hint for Lazarus Pit). Reasons:
- she was the one chosen over the Shado;
- she is now Oliver's girlfriend;
- she is revealed as Canary: not Black Canary which may go both ways -either Laurel becoming Black Canary [she has darker hair and black may be the colour of mourning after dead sister].
Laurel is less likely to be a "victim" of the finale but who knows (she has one weakness -she is far less combat skilled than needed for the BC role)... Nobody expected Tommy's death as well - all "standard" hints was that he may become Oliver's enemy...

Look who Slade's got.Called it.
I could see them saying that Slade has been exposed to the serum for too long for the cure to have an effect.
I'm glad someone pointed out that if Sarah dies to save both Dinah Laurel and Felicity, it'd be similar to last season when Tommy died to save Dinah Laurel. The last thing we need is a repeat. One thing is for sure - this season is building up to someone's demise.
