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

6. What's Oliver's Plan In The Flashbacks?

You know it's a good episode of Arrow when you aren't annoyed at the flashbacks interrupting the present day storyline, so it's safe to say this was definitely a very good episode. The flashbacks did what they're supposed to do, being somewhat entertaining in their own right, while serving as a parallel to the modern stuff. It's still not amazing, but it's better than the Hong Kong stuff from last year, and at least a little intriguing to see where it's headed. Oliver here is doing his best to work as a double agent, though you'd imagine he'll get caught out at some point. His true purpose for being back on the island still isn't particularly clear, and it remains to be seen just what's going to happen with Baron Reiter and the Shadowspire organisation.
