![]() As much as he is the leader of Palmer Tech, he’s very willing and accepting to let her take the lead, and the rest of Team Flash as well, and just does his part where that’s concerned. Ray has always thought Felicity is fully capable of pretty much anything, I think that’s one of the most wonderful qualities about him - he doesn’t shortchange anybody, he allows them to live up to their full potential. “All Star Team Up” sees Felicity taking on a villainous tech whiz called Brie Larvin - how is it for Ray, getting to see her in the midst of the action for once? So as the episode progresses and the next few episodes progress, as Ray becomes more involved with Team Arrow, he’s able to see Felicity and Oliver interact, and I think that brings him back to the reality that he’s not the only suitor, and he understands more of where her feelings are. ![]() And also, based on the knowledge that he now has that she and Oliver had a relationship - it’s too much to handle, too much to compute, so he’s not really computing it, living in the world that he wants to live in. Ray makes an excuse or jumps to his own conclusions about why Felicity didn’t say “I love you” back, or say anything, or respond at all, because he’s happy. How does that journey impact his relationship with Felicity? He told her he loved her in the last episode of “Arrow,” and she didn’t say it back… And that’s something that will be part of his journey, the balance of living in both of those places and how to transition between them. I think Ray gets so caught up in the excitement of technology or just being liked that he’s not grounded sometimes. It’s a different energy to have around in each show, and I think there are good things and bad things about living that way - being too far above the fray doesn’t allow you to see the reality of what’s happening sometimes. Given all that he’s lost, it’s nice to see that his trauma hasn’t hardened him the way Oliver’s terrible experiences have made him more emotionally unavailable. I love that Ray is just this energetic ball of positivity. It definitely plays into the whole episode, but Ray’s none the wiser as it plays out. Unbeknownst to Ray - and he gets more information as the episode progresses - there’s trouble in paradise brewing over in “Flash,” and Ray is very talkative as always, trying to drive the conversation, and people keep leaving the table, and these odd looks go around. The episode summary for “All Star Team Up” also describes a disastrous group dinner with Barry, Felicity, Ray, Iris (Candice Patton) and Eddie (Rick Cosnett) - why is it so terrible? Ray and Felicity are heading to “The Flash” to get some help from STAR Labs this week what kind of assistance does Ray think they can offer him?įollowing the Atom versus Arrow interaction, Ray’s suit has been compromised by Oliver Queen’s very good aim, so I need a little help trying to figure out what to do with my power source, because I feel a little incapable. ![]() Variety spoke to Routh about his “Flash” guest spot and what’s ahead for Ray as we approach “Arrow’s” season finale, including his ever-evolving relationship with Felicity. ![]()
