True life: The upcoming 23 hours between the end of The Flash half of the second epic Flash-Arrow crossover and the subsequent Arrow conclusion is going to be torture. We know this. So while you wait, please enjoy these tidbits executive producer Andrew Kreisberg and stars Falk Hentschel (Hawkman) and Teddy Sears (Jay Garrick) spilled about some of the developments in Flarrow part one.

Yes, Hawkman and Hawkgirl's love story is just like The Vow.

Things aren't looking good for poor Cisco, whose new lady just found out she's one half of a reincarnated 4,000-year-old couple destined to wind up together. But Kendra (Ciara Renee), a.k.a. Hawkgirl, doesn't actually remember anything about her eternal flame just yet.

"There was that Channing Tatum movie where his wife got knocked in the head and she didn't remember their lives. That's what it always sort of reminds me of," Kreisberg says. Carter (Hentschel) has to remain patient because she'll eventually regain her memories, but it's difficult. "It's gonna come but there's a sadness about the whole thing, because he knows how great it can be and how sad it is for him to look at her looking at him like he's a stranger."

Jay might've saved Earth-2 Wells' life, but he still doesn't trust the dude.

"Jay is still very dubious of wells and the carnage he's created on Earth-2," Sears says, but that icy vibe might be melting a bit. "There is a growing understanding, respect. There is a nice—I don't want to call it a shift, but these two will begin to work side-by-side as members of Team STAR Labs, going forward and fighting metahumans. They're not going to be buddies or great friends, but something does happen for the good after that."

Things with Patty are going to become even more complicated now that she knows something's up.

"A little bit of Barry's storyline this year is Patty," says Kreisberg, "and can he actually have a relationship with somebody and what does having a relationship with somebody mean?"

As we know, Barry didn't exactly handle the whole Flash reveal very well with Iris, who will remind him of that fact. "Iris is telling him, you know, I'm telling you as your friend that the way you handled things last year was terrible, and you caused a lot of unnecessary hurt and you caused people to be in danger and you have to do things differently if you really care about this girl," Kreisberg adds. But Barry will hear the opposite from Wells, who wants him to keep Patty at arm's length to protect her from Zoom. "Barry is really wrestling with those two things moving forward."

OMG, Oliver knows he has a son!

Well he suspects it, at least, 'cause he's not an idiot. You'll have to wait to see how that plays out tomorrow when the gang heads over to Central City, but know that it will be addressed.

Arrow airs Wednesday night at 8 p.m. on the CW.
