Thea Was Every Olicity Fan On Last Night's 'Arrow,' And It Was Amazing
This week's episode of "Arrow" was a bit light on the Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) moments. Totally understandable; it was Lance's moment to shine. Besides, we did get one AMAZING scene in particular to gush over...
The scene in question was great not just for the Olicity-ness of it all, but for the fact that it gave us an in-universe Olicity shipper in the form of one Thea Queen (Willa Holland).
When Thea hears Oliver has a big announcement for Team Arrow...
Her interest is immediately piqued...
Conclusion drawn: ENGAGEMENT. And, bless her Olicity-shipping heart, Thea will not rest until she sees that much elusive engagement ring...
Woman after our own hearts straight up POINTS TO HER FINGER, demanding answers about this long overdue proposal. Thea Queen is on the job. Luckily, she also happens to be immune to Oliver's Please Stop Talking Look...
She's spent years building up a tolerance, making her the perfect Olicity-shipping sleeper agent. One who at least has the graciousness to look a little sorry that she almost ruined Oliver's proposal suprise. (But not that sorry.)
And, seriously, how is it even a secret at this point? Oliver busts the engagement ring out at well-lit brunches when Felicity has only popped into the kitchen for a second.
He hides the thing in decorative glass bowls filled with transparent beads.
TBH, Ollie needs Thea's guidance bad. The man is obviously dying to propose to Felicity and, from the looks of this scene, Thea knows about the ring. This means that Oliver had to mention it to her at some point, probably going every single souffle recipe ingredient as Thea played Supportive Sister...
So, rest easy, Olicity shippers. Thea Queen's got this.
