Oliver starts to have flashes of the real world where he is Arrow. The Hood is John Diggle in Oliver’s dream world. Ray Palmer and Sara Lance are in the dream world as well.

Malcolm Merlyn is also there for the wedding. Tommy Merlyn is still alive. Felicity and Ray are engaged. Thea does not want to leave the dream world, and Oliver is not able to convince her to leave with them. Finally, Thea changes her mind, and then John, Sara, Ray, Oliver, and Thea fight with Deathstroke, Damien Darhk, Malcolm Merlyn, and another bad guy from their past.

Next, the group prepares to make their way back to the real world. They wake up and find out they are in space on an alien ship, and then Felicity is able to figure out where they are and now the question is how to get them back.
