Arrow celebrates a major milestone tonight with its 150th episode, "Emerald Archer" and now, ahead of tonight's broadcast, The CW has released two scenes from the episode.

In the first scene, which you can check out above, fans are treated to footage of John Diggle (David Ramsey) from "October 2012" in which Diggle declares that "Oliver Queen is no one's hero" -- a comment that clearly didn't age too well. It's something that Diggle, who has in the years since been not only Oliver's loyal friend but a member of Team Arrow, acknowledges in a clip from the present.

In the second scene, Oliver (Stephen Amell) talks about how much things have changed since his early days as a vigilante. He opens up a bit about how glad he is to be doing things "in the light of day" before being interrupted by a surprise return: his son home from boarding school, who doesn't exactly seem thrilled to be there. Oliver asks for the footage of his son to be edited out.

Tonight's episode will be presented in something of a semi-documentary style, and as the clips suggest, will include some glimpses back at the Green Arrow's past. It's a unique way to further the story of Season 7 while also honoring the seasons that came before it, something that showrunner Beth Schwartz told ComicBook.com was important going into the episode.

"When we knew our 150th episode was coming up, we obviously wanted to do something special," Schwartz said. "I know for our 100th episode that we were all very pleased with how that turned out and it felt so nostalgic and perfect, and so we knew we kind of had to try to one-up ourselves. The room came up with the brilliant idea to film it documentary-style, and it allowed us to use all of our favorite characters from past and present in this format, which was something that was really important to us because as you're hitting such a milestone, you want to see those characters that made the series what it is."
