Back for the Dead: Boomerang betrays Oliver and joins Prometheus and is quickly killed by a landmine courtesy of Malcolm Merlyn.The Atoner: Slade seems more than a little regretful for the horrible things he did and honestly wants to help Oliver, he even insists that nobody leaves the island without him.Agony of the Feet: Oliver fires an arrow into Chase's foot to disable him non-lethally at the end of the episode.You may not think of me as your father, Thea. I'm now a Harbinger of things to come.Malcolm: A child doesn't have to ask. Thankfully, there are still three more episodes before that has to happen, and we can stay in denial for a bit longer. Oliver saying goodbye to Diggle is almost like the fans saying goodbye to the show, and that is something no one is ready to do. You've always been my rock.ĭiggle: Don't you mean the best man you've ever known?

Oliver: I couldn't of done any of this, any of it, without you. They are brothers, through and through.ĭiggle: I'm gonna stick by your side, for as long as I can. However, Diggle was the first person Oliver trusted after his time on Lian Yu and was the first one who joined him on his so-called crusade. Of course, their goodbye would make anyone with a heart cry. William is his firstborn, and he has spent years loving him and wishing the best for him. The two most poignant conversations besides Oliver and Mia's were Oliver and Diggle's and Oliver and William's.įirst of all, Oliver's bond with William is one of the strongest on the show. Let us hope that Mia will never get to see that and that we will never have to watch Mia experience her father's death.Īlong with his talk with Mia, Oliver seemed to be making his round of goodbyes similar to how he did on Arrow Season 6 Episode 23 before he went to prison. Plus, his spirit will always survive through her as Yao Fai explained to Oliver, no matter how difficult his predicted death will be to watch.

It is not a secret that Mia has wanted to prevent her father's death in the Crisis, as growing up without him has left an irreversible scar on her.īut, Mia has come to understand that Oliver's heroism goes hand-in-hand with his parenting.

I just think about all the people that it took from me. Oliver: For a very long time, I have hated this place. Mia was finally able to accept that in their final moments on Lian Yu and father and daughter finally came to an understanding. What she failed to realize was that he chose to be a hero because he was her father.Įverything Oliver has done after he left Felicity and Mia in their cabin was in the name of protecting his family. Mia always thought that Oliver chose to be a hero instead of a father.
