Trivia[]

  • This is the final episode of Arrow to feature Willa Holland (Thea Queen) as a series regular.
  • The title of this episode comes from the name of another group of League of Assassins, which was led by Malcolm until Athena took charge.
    • "Thanatos" is the Greek word for "Death", aligning with Malcolm's goal to cheat death.
  • Going to look for Malcolm's map, Felicity asks whether the traps laid around the location housing it are more comparable to "Raiders or Temple of Doom", referencing two films in the Indiana Jones franchise.
    • Thea later tells Felicity that it's more like Raiders, before triggering a trap that shoots arrows, similar to a scene in the aforementioned film.
  • The cap Roy wears is a callback to him wearing a cap in the New 52 Red Hood and the Outlaws series, and the DC Rebirth comics.
  • Felicity makes a reference to the Hellraiser franchise due to the map's box's resemblance to the Lament Configuration.
  • Curtis mentions that Dinah's murder board is making him feel "very Alan J. Pakula", referencing the notable film director, writer, and producer.
  • When Roy and Felicity are trying to figure out how to defuse the bomb, Roy suggests, "I can freeze it, I've done that before". This is a reference to the episode "The Calm" where Roy freezes a bomb that's about to detonate underneath Rockets Arena, as per Felicity's instructions.
