The way they've made it sound is that the crossover event doesn't "cross over" quite as much into Arrow; it's more used as a narrative device to put the characters where they have to be for the hundredth epsiode.

"I do get to punch an alien, but not in the hundredth episode of Arrow," series star Stephen Amell told ComicBook.com this weekend at the Arrow 100 Episodes party in Vancouver.

With lots of returning guest stars and "no flashbacks" promised, it seems likely there's a pretty elaborate shell game going on here -- one that Amell doesn't help when he says that returning guest stars will return "in a very unexpected spot at a very, very retrospectively expected time."

That seems to be the rule of the day: there's going to be some stuff in this episode that you expect from Arrow, even if it's not coming at exactly the expected moment.

"The hundredth episode of Arrow begins in a very appropriate way: it begins with Oliver running," Amell revealed. "We've had him running into the premiere almost every year, we didn't have him running in this year, but we have him running in the hundredth episode."
