Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) will be back together in "Arrow" Season 5, but only on the professional aspect. The two are the only ones who are left in the Team Arrow and it looks like they would do everything to work things out professionally.
Oliver, Felicity Back Together?
"They're both in crisis mode. Oliver's got two really big jobs, and [Felicity] is spinning out about Havenrock," Executive producer Wendy Mericle clarified to TVLine. "Until they've gotten some clarity for themselves, there's not much room for the relationship side of things." Evidently, Oliver will be seen in "Arrow" Season 2 balancing his life as the Green Arrow and the newly-elected mayor.
Felicity, on the other hand, still has to know how to handle things as she accidentally killed a thousand for detonating a nuclear bomb. To recall, the role of Emily Bett Rickards tried to save the Star City, but she had to place the bomb in another area, ending killing innocent people. In "Arrow" Season 5, Felicity will have to face the reality and fix her mess. Hence, the two will work out together professionally, setting aside any kind of romance they have.
