Arrow Season 4: 11 Big Questions We're Asking After 'Genesis'

7. What Happens With Taiana

Green Arrow Oliver Eyes

There are no flashbacks for Arrow this week, making this episode something of a rarity, and also suggesting that the writers themselves are aware they've really worn the Baron Reiter plot as thin as they can.

Still, there are a few loose ends that need tying up on Lian Yu, and one of them is Taiana. The main presence of the island in this episode comes in a quick shot we see of her as Oliver battles with the demons of his past, and she has the yellow eyes that he himself will possess later in the episode.

Does this mean that, in the flashbacks, it's Taiana who channels this magic and ultimately defeats Reiter, allowing Oliver to escape? Is there maybe more to Taiana than we've seen? The assumption is that she'll die, but it might just be she goes down a hero.
