Ironically, this may lead to Diggs greatest fear - losing his family in the same way Oliver lost his - coming true, as he and Oliver have come to consider each other brothers.Perhaps the biggest shocks came in the episodes first and last scenes, which respectively revealed the identity of the new Green Arrow as Oliver Queens half-sister.
This led to an odd situation where Oliver Queen was recruited by Captain Dinah Drake to clear the name of the Green Arrow who had replaced him, despite the objections of Star Citys new mayor. By the end of Arrow s midseason finale, Oliver had been hired on to aid the Star City Police Department in some official capacity, but his life is still in upheaval despite having found a way to legally save his city. Olivers relationship with his wife, Felicity, is on the rocks in the face of the changes Felicity has undergone in his absence and now John Diggle is working with Ricardo Diaz behind their backs to track the source of a mysterious and sinister financial organization. Our heroes made contact with the woman known as Blackstar, who claimed that her dealings with Felicity were limited to selling her bomb parts. This was later determined to be a lie, but left William with no further avenues for information apart from Zoes father, the former Wild Dog, Rene Ramirez, who is implied to have changed heavily over the last 20 years. Here are nine of the big questions fans are asking after the midseason finale. ![]() The final scene of the episode shows the same woman talking to a tombstone and addressing her father, with the camera panning around to reveal the tombstone is that of Robert Queen, Oliver Queens father. It remains to be seen why this new Green Arrow adopted Oliver Queens mantle, but in the comics, Emiko was originally determined to replace Oliver as Green Arrow. ![]() Oliver proving to be more like Robert Queen than she thought. Lyla Michaels determined that multiple terrorist organizations, including Kobra, Basilisk and the Third World Liberation Army, were all using the painting of Dante as an identifier. Cross-referencing the name Dante with the financial records she had retrieved from a Swiss bank known to be a front for several criminal organizations led her to a bank account and five transactions between Dante and a consulting firm named Rubrum, Silentsim Ursa - a front for The Longbow Hunters. The primary villains of Benjamin Percys run on the Green Arrow comic book, the Ninth Circle were a cabal of corrupt executives and bankers who financed various criminal enterprises in secret. Led by the mysterious figure known only as Dante, the Ninth Circle also ran a number of profitable illegal enterprises, such as human trafficking, while offering white-collar criminals a place to safely deposit their holdings. While the name of Dante may be a coincidence, a body like the Ninth Circle would certainly be capable of all the financial misdeeds ARGUS is investigating in Arrow. So long as Oliver is working alongside the police in an official capacity, it does not count as vigilantism. This begs the question as to what Olivers official status with the SCPD is. Deputy Special Agent Or is he, as he said earlier in the episode, a Consultant, akin to that most famous of Police Consultants, the consulting detective Sherlock Holmes. ![]() While Oliver says he wants to get to know the new Felicity and see how much the woman he married is still there, Felicity confesses that what is best for her right now might not be the same thing that is best for them as a couple. It remains to be seen if the two might be able to readjust how they view one another but the future of Star City 2038 suggests that they are destined to fail. Diggle tells Lyla directly that there is no way they can ever let Oliver or Felicity know that theyve elected to try and work with the man who ruined their lives and tore their family apart. Given Team Arrows track-record for keeping secrets, this means that the two will almost certainly find out and that their already strained friendships may finally break for good.
