'Arrow' Season 3 Spoilers on Team Dynamic Through Finale

Season 3 of the CW's Arrow has just two episodes remaining, and the last episode showed that Oliver Queen is firmly entrenched as Al Sah-Him inside Nanda Parbat. So what will the Team Arrow dynamic look like in these final few episodes?

The "Ask Ausiello" column at TVLine has some answers directly from showrunner Marc Guggenheim:

"Question: What is Arrow the show going to look like now that Oliver is staying in Nanda Parbat? —Amir
Ausiello: For one, don’t worry about a rehash of the midseason arc that robbed Starling City of its hero. 'The tricky thing about [the next episode] is making it different from… when Oliver was missing and presumed dead,' says showrunner Marc Guggenheim. 'One of the things we talked about is, How is Team Arrow functioning post-Oliver? We didn’t want to get into ‘crime on the rise,’ because I felt like we did that with Brick, but you’ll see with [the next two episodes] what Team Arrow is up to and how they’re working to continue to protect the city.' And no, that doesn’t mean the Atom will simply step in to fill the void. As Guggenheim notes, 'Every time Ray interacts with or allies himself with Team Arrow, there’s a story reason behind it, as opposed to just the assumption that, ‘OK, he’s part of the team now.’ [This week] is a very Team Arrow-centric episode, and Ray, for all of his charms and for all of the help he can provide, is not a member of Team Arrow.'”

In related news, a new international promo for next week's episode of, entitled "This Is Your Sword," has made its way online, and it shows a bit more footage of the upcoming wedding. Ra's al Ghul has set Oliver aka Al Sah-Him to marry his daughter, Nyssa al Ghul. But will Felicity or someone else stop the wedding?
