Arrow Season 5: 10 Things You Need To Know
10. Where We'll Find Diggle, Thea, And Felicity
At the end of Season 4, Team Arrow was a pretty disparate group. Diggle left to go back in the army and hopefully find himself, Thea was hanging up the Speedy outfit and leaving vigilantism behind, and Felicity was the only one left besides Oliver in the Arrowcave, but their relationship was fractured, and she herself had yet to process the emotional trauma of all those nuke deaths.
For Thea, she hasn't left Star City completely. Instead, she'll be turning her focus to Oliver's Mayoral duties. Unsurprisingly, he's not a great Mayor (running around at night as the Green Arrow probably doesn't help), but Thea is said to have a real knack for it, and we'll be seeing her essentially running the office this year.
Dig will be in Chechyna with the Special Forces, still trying to deal with the deaths of his brother and Laurel, and his part in them, although he will be back at some point - with a new helmet designed by Cisco - and have to deal with all the new members of the team.
For Felicity, it's going to be about trying to continue working for Oliver while still coming to terms with the amount of people she inadvertently killed, which given it was around 2000 may take some time. There's also apparently going to be a new boyfriend for her, which could either significantly reduce or increase all of the 'Olicity' drama this year.
