This week, Arrow brings us a twist that wasn’t entirely unexpected, a second twist that’s certainly another ruse, and signs that Thea may become the Arrow’s Speedy.

Arrow Review: “Al Sah-Him”
FELICITY: He’s out of town and how did you get in here?
THEA: My dad’s a super villain and you left your doors unlocked.
The man who was Oliver Queen takes on his former associates.
Arrow Discussion: “The Fallen”
Oliver Queen accepts Ra’s’s offer to stand apart from society and become the heir to the demon.
For some, the episode may resurrect interest in the show….
Arrow Discussion: “Broken Arrow”
A horribly convoluted plot might convince the world that Ollie is not the Arrow, but makes us wonder how the Arrow can ever return. Meanwhile, the Arrow turns to the Atom to help with a metahuman villain– one who apparently wasn’t created by the Central City particle accelerator. Cisco Ramon makes an appearance, and Ra’s Al Ghul makes a deadly move.
The episode asks one lingering question (how do the metahumans feed and so forth in the pipeline?) and poses another: is Arrow broken?
Neither receives an answer this week.
Arrow Discussion: “Public Enemy”
Ra’s’ League and the Starling City Police both hunt down Ollie’s warriors, and a team member falls on his arrow– a little too late to undo the damage. It seems unlikely Ollie can ever have a secret identity again, unless the Flash shows up to mess with time again, and that would really, really annoy me.
Since it wouldn’t be Arrow without soap operatics, someone has a hitherto unrevealed twin.
Arrow Review: “Suicidal Tendencies”
I wasn’t always me, either.
–Deadshot
Team Arrow battles Ollie’s doppelganger while Diggle and Lyla spend their honeymoon on a Suicide Squad mission.
Arrow Review: “The Offer”
“It’s the League of Assassins: that is not the name of a nice group.”
Arrow returns, with Ollie’s answer. Is Ra’s accepting it?
Arrow Review: “Nanda Parbat”
Fight choreography, Costumed Vigilante Angst, torture, and a monumental decision for Ollie dominate this week’s Arrow
Meanwhile, Ray Palmer works hard to complete his Atom suit before Ant-man gets released—only to realize it’s all for naught, because the show, having already turned Palmer into an imitation Tony Stark, has decided to cast the Atom in the mold of Iron Man.
Arrow Discussion: “The Return”
In the present, the Arrow returns to a familiar place and encounters Deathstroke. In the flashbacks (of a flashback-heavy episode) Ollie returns to Starling City– but it’s not the return we saw in the first season.
Arrow Discussion: “Left Behind”
When the Rapture imagined by evangelical Christians actually occurs, our heroes in Starling City must…
No, not really. But Arrow has returned, with the support team scrambling to work without Ollie. We see more flashbacks, and a little bit of the future Atom. Just as Team Arrow accepts Ollie’s death, we learn that….
That’s not the real twist, of course– though we all saw the other one coming, too.
Thoughts?
