Arrow Season 5 Finale Synopsis Released

05/04/2017 08:30 pm EDT

The CW has released the official synopsis for "Lian Yu," the season 5 finale of Arrow, coming up in two weeks.

The episode synopsis confirms the return of Nick E. Tarabay as Captain Boomerang as well as teasing once again an "explosive" season finale -- that choice of words having now come up so often it seems like it has to be an intentional tease.

Teaming with Nyssa and Deathstroke, in fact, it almost sounds like Boomerang is part of some kind of...Suicide Squad or something.

You can check it out below.

The battle between Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Adrian Chase (Josh Segarra) culminates in a final epic battle on Lian Yu. After recent events, Oliver decides to recruit a group of unlikely allies – Slade (guest star Manu Bennett), Nyssa (guest star Katrina Law), Merlyn (John Barrowman) and Digger Harkness (guest star Nick. E. Tarabay) – to defeat Chase. However, Chase has his own army – Black Siren (guest star Katie Cassidy), Evelyn Sharp (guest star Madison McLaughlin) and Talia al Ghul (guest star Lexa Doig) – and the forces collide in an explosive season finale.

Jesse Warn directed the episode written by Wendy Mericle & Marc Guggenheim. It will air on May 24 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.
