In a recent interview, executive producer Marc Guggenheim spoke about Thea's (Willa Holland) character arc in season 3 of Arrow, specifically addressing her confession to Nyssa al Ghul (Katrina Law).

Speaking to E!Online, Guggenheim stated that although Thea had been "acting out" and put herself in the way of harm at the hands of Nyssa, she will eventually be working to look for closure in another way in the upcoming episodes.

"We're working towards telling a different story with Thea, it won't always be just her acting out," Guggenheim said. "She's processing a huge amount of guilt and regret. At the end of [episode] 15, she's essentially attempting suicide by Nyssa. It's a continuing progression. It won't just be a repitition of her acting out. In [episode] 16, she looks for closure in another way because spoiler alert, Nyssa's not going to kill [Thea]."

In another interview with TVLine, Guggenheim deliberated upon the possibility of Ra's al Ghul's dissapproval of Nyssa's relationship with Sara being the cause of his depriving her of her birthright. 

"It is subtle. I think there's a scene in [episode] sixteen between Nyssa and Ra's that definitely addresses that," Guggenheim said. "I think the best way to answer your question is that from Nyssa's perspective, it has everything to do with Sara. From Ra's' perspective, maybe... maybe not."

Producer Andrew Kresiberg also added that this will make Nyssa relook at her life and explore a different realm.

"The best part of Nyssa for this season is seeing somebody who, unlike all these other people who had normal lives and tragedy turned them into what they were, she was turned into what she is from birth," Kresiberg said. "She's actually going on a different trajectory where she's seeing what kindness looks like for the first time and she's seeing what normal people look like for the first time. Especially with what she considers to be her inheritance is taken away from her, it sends her on a completely different journey."

The Offer will air on March 18.
