Before Oliver (Stephen Amell) had his final showdown with Konstantin Kovar (Dolph Lundgren) in the flashbacks on tonight’s episode of Arrow, the show gave a look ahead at the Bratva boss’s destiny.
Earlier in the episode, as Oliver, Slade, and Talia were exploring Lian Yu, the camera panned across the forest floor to reveal a set of skeletal remains wearing a black leather jacket.
The body was that of Konstantin Kovar, who wouldn’t die at Oliver’s hand for about another 20 minutes in the episode.

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.
