Everyone in the team tells Laurel that they love her and Oliver is left to speak to his "home." Laurel tells him to get some rest but he says there is no chance. He says he will stay there with her. She asks him to bring her something from her pouch. It's the photo that he had with him on Lian Yu.

She says it's a reminder of when things were simpler. She says she really loves that he found Felicity and he hopes he finds his way back to her.

However, he will always be the love of her life. She tells him that she is saying this because anything can happen, then asks him to promise her something.

Suddenly back in the room something goes wrong and Laurel begins going into shock. The whole team is in the room as the doctors try to bring her back. Laurel flatlines and it appears as if Laurel, the Black canary has died.

The team falls apart in the room as the time of death 11:59 is announced. Oliver leaves the room and sobs in the hallway.

Lance walks around the corner and the looks they exchange alone says it all. Lance falls to the floor in shock and Oliver is at a loss for words.
