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

3. What's Going On With Sara (And How Long Will It Last)?

As mentioned before, when Malcolm Merlyn says something is a bad idea, you know it's an absolutely terrible one. And when Malcolm Merlyn then agrees to do something, you know it's probably not going to go well. Both cases are proved here. Sara Lance is back from the dead, but as predicted by everyone (yet still Laurel wouldn't listen), she's rather different. It reminded me a bit of when Buffy was brought back in Season 6, only with more of a thirst for blood. More specifically, Thea's blood. Merlyn told his daughter that the only way to truly cure herself was to kill the person responsible for her going in the Pit in the first place, which she can't do since Ra's is dead. Now he's brought Sara back, and since Thea is the one who killed her, she's very much a target as things stand. Obviously these are some major side-effects that come with being brought back from the dead, but what exactly is going on with Sara? As it stands she just seems possessed, so is she even aware of herself and the others around her, or does she just see Thea and the need to kill her? It presumably can't be long before that's resolved, with John Constantine set to show up pretty soon as well.
