Titles have been posted for the remaining episodes of 'Watchtower.' Check out the title cards and limited spoilers below: Episode #5-18: "Atonement" Written by: Jack Malone Produced by: The VPN UPDATED 12/10/2022 - Episode title revealed as 'Atonement.' - VSGuide has learned that the eighteenth episode will offer a resolution to the season-long storyline for Oliver (Justin Hartley) that has involved the ongoing feud, and later war, between him and Thomas Bolt (Jay Hernandez). - Mia Dearden (Elise Gatien), who most recently was caught in the crossfire of this conflict, will play a key role in this episode. "She's still suffering the consequences of Oliver's actions in many ways — she was arrested, the plan to rescue her only made things worse, and she's now left to rot in prison until a trial is set," Malone reminded of the character's circumstance, "She becomes a huge part of concluding this story, not just for Oliver's journey, or Archer's, but there's ramifications for her own 'Watchtower' journey, too." - It is expected that Alaina Huffman will return as Dinah Lance / Black Canary. Episode #5-19: "Ritual" Written by: Jack Malone Produced by: The VPN UPDATED 12/10/2022 - Episode title revealed as 'Ritual.' - VSGuide has learned that this episode will explore Dusan's (Bryan Greenberg) ultimate and final plan to fulfill the 'one will rise, the rest will fall' prophecy that has been an ongoing storyline since Season 3, and will see the entire Al Ghul family come together in a climactic battle for their own preservation and reign of power. - Stana Katic reprises her role as Talia Al Ghul. While a part of the Al Ghul family, "Talia remains the sole objector to her brother's plans, which not only seeks to fulfill a doomsday prophecy, but to resurrect Ra's in the process," series creator Jack Malone teases. "She is more concerned with keeping the family's claws out of her son, and doing what she can to keep his soul pure." - Yvonne Strahovski will also appear in this episode. - This episode is expected to be a huge one for Damian Wayne (Asa Butterfield), whose existence was introduced at the end of Season 4, but made their first appearance in the seventh episode of the season, 'Guidance.' Malone told VSGuide, "the plan was to always have Damian orbit this space in the background with appearances few and far between until we reached this exact point of the season where things finally became clear to the audience of what he's been up to and what role he truly plays in Bruce's story, and in this final season."
Episode #5-20: "Signal" Written by: Jack Malone Produced by: The VPN UPDATED 12/10/2022 - Episode title revealed as 'Signal.' - Producers described the twentieth episode of the season as "our long overdue 'Chlollie' episode." It is expected to primarily focus on the relationship between Chloe (Allison Mack) and Oliver (Justin Hartley), in both past and present timelines. - A flashback story will explore how Oliver and Chloe found their way back to each other - the untold story between seeing Oliver ride off into the sunset with Dinah (Alaina Huffman) in Season 4, to being revealed as Chloe's husband in the closing minutes of that finale two years later. Episode #5-21: "Beyond"Written by: Jack Malone Produced by: The VPN UPDATED 12/10/2022 - Episode title revealed as 'Beyond.' - VSGuide has learned exclusively that the penultimate episode of the season will explore a future beyond the year 2028, in which audiences will be introduced to a much older Archer in a post-No-Mans-Land world. - Charlie Hunnam has been cast as future Archer Sullivan-Queen. Following additions include Natalie Dormer as future Suzanne 'Cissie' King-Jones, and Justin Bartha as future Brady Chambers. - Kristen Bell reprises her role as Hope Sullivan-Queen, also known as Doctor Fate. - Terry McGinnis (Kian Talan), who was introduced in 'Purgatory,' and Carrie Kelley (Liv Hewson), who was introduced in 'Robin,' will also appear in the episode.
Episode #5-22: "Legacy" (Series Finale) Written by: Jack Malone Produced by: The VPN UPDATED 12/10/2022 - Episode title revealed as 'Legacy.' - This episode marks the series' one hundredth episode milestone (excluding Christmas Specials) and will serve as the series finale.

Just finished writing the penultimate episode of the season, and I'm about to begin working on the final episode of the series. Not sure it's quite hit me yet - I'm both really excited to close the story out, and also nervous on delivering a satisfying ending. More than anything, though, I'm pretty keen to have all the major characters back in some capacity for the end and get to write for characters I've left in the past. As for a release date, I hope to start releasing episodes 16 through to 22 soon! Just want to make sure everything is edited and ready to go.

Wow. Okay, so it's official. I've finally finished writing 'Watchtower.' It's been a long-ass journey, and I'm really proud of finally finishing this series that has given me a massive creative outlet to focus on when I want to switch off from the rest of the world for a bit. I've landed on a July release date, with the final two episodes releasing in August. The series finale is a little jumbo sized—it runs like a normal episode, but the epilogue just holds a LOT more and runs more like a whole ACT on it's own. I'm still not sure if a few more edits will cut it down, but I'm really happy with everything in there and it's the final episode so I'm okay with it running a little longer. Anyway, here are the official episode descriptions for the FINAL seven episodes of 'Watchtower' ever:
