Things are looking pretty intense in the upcoming finale of "Arrow" season 4, based on the description of actress Emily Bett Rickards.

The actress revealed during a recent online Q&A with her best friend and "The Talk" co-host Aisha Tyler that "Arrow" season 4 finale will feature "absolute destruction, devastation." The actress did not reveal the plot details for the episode, but it could mean that something big that is about to happen can have a huge effect on Team Arrow.

In the previous episode, everyone on the team was deeply devastated with the death of Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy) at the hands of Damien Darhk (Neal McDonough). John Diggle (David Ramsey) was particularly affected, because he felt that it was his fault that Laurel died. He thought she died because he decided to trusted his brother Andy (Eugene Byrd) since he helped restore Darhk's powers.

The next episode, titled "Canary Cry" and airing on April 27, will feature the repercussions of Laurel's death.

According to the episode's synopsis, "Oliver and the team struggle to come to terms with Laurel's death, especially Diggle who is overwhelmed with guilt for choosing to believe Andy had changed. Meanwhile, Lance refuses to believe his daughter is really gone and asks Nyssa to help bring her back. A recent Black Canary sighting in Star City only seems to prove his theory that Laurel isn't actually dead."

Could this mean that there is a chance that Laurel is still alive? Or will she be resurrected like her sister Sara Lance (Caity Lotz) using the Lazarus Pit? But since the Pit has already been destroyed, it could mean that Nyssa al Ghul (Katrina Law) will use other ways to bring Laurel back from the dead.

Also, fans of the series are interested to know if Rickards's character Felicity Smoak and the Green Arrow (Stephen Amell) will get back together after breaking off their engagement.
