Arrow Season 4: 12 Questions We're Asking After 'Code Of Silence'

11. Why Hasn't Merlyn Told Darhk That Oliver Is The Green Arrow?

Last week, after Oliver helped take the League of Assassins from Malcolm Merlyn, the former Ra's al Ghul promised him pain worse than death, and then told Damien Darhk about William, Oliver's son. That pays off this week, but the interesting thing is that Merlyn hasn't told Darhk the other secret he knows about Oliver: namely, that he is the Green Arrow. Darhk is (somehow) still clueless about this, but knowing it would give him a huge advantage. Given Merlyn wants to do that, why hasn't he told him?
