"Mr. Queen, why are you being arrested again?"
"I have voluntarily, uh, handed myself over to the FBI."
"Can you comment any further?"
"Yes I can. I am the Green Arrow. I realize I've denied that claim with the same conviction with which I'm speaking now. I have let good people stand accused of things that I've done. Roy Harper is not the Green Arrow. Tommy Merlyn is most certainly not the Green Arrow. These are two names on a long list of people who have given so much and sacrificed everything in the name of my crusade. Some of them gave their lives in the pursuit of one simple objective: to save our city. Star City still needs saving. Last night, we dealt our enemy a critical blow, but there is still work to be done. So I'm looking to the people of this city. I'm looking to my allies, to my friends, my partners... and I'm asking them to continue. To keep fighting. I'm asking them to complete our mission: to save our city."

Trivia

  • In addition to Paul Blackthorne's final appearance, this episode marks the last to be written by Marc Guggenheim and Wendy Mericle at the time both of them stepped down from their duties as showrunners.
  • Quentin's death mirrors Laurel's Earth One counterpart from "Eleven-Fifty-Nine". Both Lances were sustained a mortal wound to the abdomen and died later after having an abrupt seizure in the hospital after a heartfelt talk with Oliver.
  • The title refers to Oliver serving life in prison.
  • Diaz references the 1957 film adaption of Old Yeller after he shoots Quentin, who took the bullet for Laurel. Laurel later mentions it by name when she knocks Diaz off of the roof.
  • Quentin mentions the time he interrogated Oliver in "Damaged".
  • The cast and Marc Guggenheim called this episode a game changer for the series filled with long-lasting ramifications and things that cannot be undone. According to the latter, it acts more of an unconventional kind of finale that still feels like a season finale.[2][3][4]
  • Stephen Amell jokingly hoped the finale is 3/10th's as good as Parenthood's series finale where the entire Braverman family appeared in the final scene of the series together except for Zeek.[5]
  • This is the first season finale where Willa Holland and John Barrowman do not appear as Thea Queen and Malcolm Merlyn, respectively.
