Arrow Season 4: 10 Questions We're Asking After Restoration

9. Is Thea 'Fixed'?

So far this season, Thea has been suffering from some delayed side-effects of her dip in the Lazarus Pit, with a tendency to go a little too far and try and kill people. So, who better to turn to for help than Malcolm Merlyn, the murderous psychopath who once forced her to kill someone? Shockingly, his advice is to give into the urge, and kill people. What else was he going to say, really? He even sets a couple of assassins on her while she's sleeping, so that her instincts take over and she winds up murdering them. While she doesn't want to give in, it's clearly a struggle. Thus Malcolm agrees to resurrect Sara, so that it will clear Thea's conscience. It doesn't look too good for the revived Lance sister, but what about Thea? Is she now 'fixed'? And at what cost? Seriously, Merlyn is probably the worst parent this show's had, and that's saying something.
