'Arrow' season 5 episode 5 spoilers: Human Target helps fight Tobias Church; Oliver finally finds out Felicity's new relationship
DC Comics' Christopher Chance a.k.a. Human Target teams up with Oliver (Stephen Arnell) in the upcoming episode of The CW's hit superhero series "Arrow" season 5.
Titled "Human Target," next week's episode will introduce yet another new character from the DC universe. According to the official synopsis for episode 5, the villainous Tobias Church (guest star Chad L. Coleman) captures and tortures one of Oliver's new recruits. In an attempt to rescue him and fight against Tobias, Oliver seeks help from an old friend, Christopher Chance (guest star Wil Traval) AKA the Human Target. Meanwhile, Felicity's (Emily Bett Rickards) worlds are bound to collide when Detective Malone (guest star Tyler Ritter) decides to be a part of the ACU.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, executive producer Marc Guggenheim shared hints on what to expect when Oliver finally learns about Felicity's new relationship with Detective Malone. "No secrets stay secret on Arrow forever," he said. "Oliver's going to find out about Felicity's boyfriend in 505. Because I'm spoiling that, I'm not going to spoil when Felicity's boyfriend finds out that Felicity is working with Arrow."
The EP also weighed in on how Prometheus will make his presence to Oliver known this season. According to Guggenheim, episode 6 will see things start to get to the next level as the tensions between the characters grow.
"It's a 23-episode season. This is true for all the shows, especially when you've got a big bad that's being introduced in the first episode," he explained. "How do you strike that balance between it becoming the Prometheus show and becoming incredibly repetitive and teasing it out? 506 felt very right to us, because 505 feels like the end of a chapter, as it often is on Arrow. 506 kicks things into another gear."
Keep tuning in to "Arrow" season 5 airing every Wednesday night at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.
