Arrow: Episode 19 Is a Surprise, Episode 20 Titled “Seeing Red”

Could Roy Harper be taking on the Red Arrow persona in just a few short weeks?Or could we see the Arrowverse’s version of Red Tornado, Dr. Ivo’s follow-up to Amazo?In any event, the upcoming twentieth episode of the series is titled “Seeing Red.” It’s to be written by Wendy Mericle and Beth Schwartz, the team behind last week’s “Time of Death,” according to the title page posted to Twitter by Executive Producer Marc Guggenheim.The episode will be directed by Doug Aarnioski, who will make his Arrow debut with the episode. Most recently, he directed an episode of Sleepy Hollow, but he’s been around for years, serving as a writer, assistant director or director on projects like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Turner and Hooch. Also announced at the same time? There’s a “special announcement” surrounding episode 19 – probably suggesting that whatever it is, it will follow in the footsteps of Birds of Prey and Suicide Squad, and be a DC Universe-centric episode. This season has already seen teases of characters like Ted Kord, Metamorpho and Blue Devil. Could we see something more on one of those? Or something else…?
