3. Malcolm Merlyn Is Alive

Arrow Laurel Lance

From the very beginning, Malcolm Merlyn stole every scene he was in. The good man, turned evil attempted to destroy the Glades in Starling City as revenge for the murder of his wife. After seemingly being killed by The Hood we thought he was dead, only for us to be proven wrong.

Malcolm played a role in getting Moira Queen acquitted from her role in the Undertaking, and made his presence known. The episode “State vs Queen” saw the return of The Count as well, but seeing Malcolm appear from the shadows to confront Moira was something else.

We had no idea what he wanted, or what his plans were. The season seemed to be leading to Brother Blood as the main villain, so what would Malcom do?

We got that answer very clearly, as he dropped a major bombshell on us. Not only was alive, but Thea was his daughter.
