Arrow Season 5: 8 Things That Must Happen Next

8. Thea Needs To Make Up Her Mind

At the end of the last season, Thea claimed that her Speedy days were behind her, instead vowing to save the city as Thea Queen, working to fight crime from the Mayor's office. It was a shame to see her hang up the Red Arrow suit, but it paved the way for a fresh start within the Arrow Cave, and Thea has been one of the strongest characters this season as a result.

She's often been the voice of reason, a wise head on young shoulders, and the way her experience has come full circle is a credit to the show. But if this is what you're going for, then commit. Thea has already worn the Speedy suit three times this year, and as long as there is a chance that she will return to Team Arrow, we will never fully invest in the new recruits.

Arrow is at its worst when it's toying with ideas, not sure if it's willing to go all in; Oliver and Felicity's relationship being the definitive example of this. Either have Thea commit to Team Arrow, or have her give up the suit for good. You can't just bring her back when the story needs another bow-and-arrowed character.
