Arrow Season 2 Spoilers on 'Deathstroke' episode
Season 2 of the CW's Arrow is in full swing, and next week's episode entitled "Deathstroke" will be about, who else, Slade Wilson (Manu Bennett). But what's in store for Oliver and his friends in the installment?
Executive producer Marc Guggenheim told the following to TVLine, which posted the news in its "Ask Ausiello" column:
"EP Marc Guggenheim told Matt Mitovich that next week's episode is titled 'Deathstroke' because it revolves around 'the first huge move that Slade Wilson is going to make in his plan to exact revenge.' He also said that as the last episode leading into a brief spring break, it ends on a 'bittersweet' - and 'very messy' - note."
In a previous edition of "Ask Ausiello," Bennett discussed Slade's son, Joe, and his effect on the character:
"Question: I'm a big Arrow fan and was wondering if you could find something out for me. Doesn't Slade Wilson have a son named Joe? Will we get to find out what happened to him?
Though Joe has only been alluded to on occasion on the CW series, Manu Bennett mentions that relationship when discussing why Slade took Shado's death so hard. 'You have to remember, Slade Wilson has also got an ex-partnership and a son out in the world there somewhere. And the son's potentially got siblings in some scenario that hasn't yet evolved into the storyline,' he says. 'People have to think about more than the layers of what is being shown in each episode. They have to find clues in the DC Comics history, to maybe even piece together more of what Slade is festering upon.'"
Bennett does not mention if fans would ever see Joe on the show, but he certainly raises some interesting points about the son's influence on the father.
