Arrow Season 2 Spoilers: Finale will conclude three-part war between Oliver and Slade

The Season 2 finale of the CW's Arrow is fast approaching and May 14 will be here before fans know it. The show has been building to a showdown between Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Slade (Manu Bennett) for much of the season, and it looks as though the final few episodes will play out the battle.

TV Guide posted the following description of the season finale as part of its series on upcoming television finales. Executive producer Andrew Kreisberg also offers a preview of the final episode:

"Oliver and Slade's ultimate showdown will be a three-part affair starting with the April 30 episode - and the final hour will take place in 24-style real time. With Roy more dangerous than ever and Laurel in the know about Oliver's secret, the Arrow's life is slowly crumbling around him in what executive producer Andrew Kreisberg calls 'some of the darkest stuff we've ever done.' Several familiar faces will return to help in the final fight for Starling City, but what happens in town is only half of it. 'There's a couple of massive surprises for the island,' Kreisberg says, hinting that there could be a death before the season is up. 'The gloves are off and anybody can die at any minute.'"
