Arrow Season 3 Spoilers: More Information on Felicity Episode

Fans of the CW's Arrow will get a more in-depth look at Felicity Smoak when the plucky blonde gets her own episode, "The Secret Origin of Felicity Smoak," early in Season 3. But what exactly will we learn about her past?

The "Spoiler Room" column at EW.com has the answer directly from Emily Bett Rickards. "We're actually going to see a whole new side to Felicity in the episode. 'She hadn't found who she was yet,' Emily Bett Rickards says. 'We get to see her in her college years, so she hadn't stepped into the Felicity we see now. She was still trying to hide.' In present day, Felicity's mom (Charlotte Ross) will appear at pretty much the worst time possible. 'Her mom proves to be a distraction,' Rickards adds. 'Keeping secrets becomes a burden for her in that episode.'"

In case you missed it, here is the official episode description for the episode. "CHARLOTTE ROSS (NYPD BLUE) STARS AS FELICITY'S MOTHER - When a cyber attack brings Starling City to its knees, Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) are pushed to their limits to contain the destruction. Life gets even more complicated for Felicity when her mother, Donna (guest star Charlotte Ross), stops by for a surprise visit. Meanwhile, Ted Grant (guest star JR Ramirez) questions Laurel's (Katie Cassidy) motives, and Thea (Willa Holland) buys an apartment with Malcolm's (John Barrowman) 'estate' money, which infuriates Oliver. Nolan Funk guest stars as Felicity's ex-boyfriend. Michael Schultz directed the episode written by Ben Sokolowski & Brian Ford Sullivan (#305)."
