Go Behind the Scenes of the Arrow Mid-Season Finale

Tonight The CW will bring us the mid-season finale of “Arrow,” which is set to feature a duel between Ra’s al Ghul and our hero Oliver Queen. In anticipation of the episode, The CW has released a behind-the-scenes featurette as well as the first clip from the episode, both of which you can check out in the video below. Titled “The Climb,” the episode is officially described as follows:

“Nyssa returns to Starling City and tells Oliver that her father, Ra’s al Ghul has given Oliver 48 hours to find Sara’s killer or the League of Assassins will start killing the citizens of Starling City. Laurel is stunned when her father delivers a very special Christmas gift – her mother, Dinah. Meanwhile, Ray tries to make amends with Felicity and Oliver sets a meeting with Ra’s al Ghul.”

Guest starring Katrina Law as Nyssa and Matt Nable as Ra’s al Ghul, “The Climb” is directed by Thor Freudenthal and written by Jake Coburn and Keto Shimizu. It is set to air this Wednesday, December 10th at 8:00pm ET/PT on The CW.
