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

2. Will Oliver Kill Malcolm?

No. Ok, I'll flesh that out a bit more (could've made a *hilarious* NOOOOO joke here, but I'll rise above it...). Oliver has a no kill rule. We know he's going to break it at some point, but that's going to be for whoever puts the mystery person in the grave in a few months. Most likely, that will be Damien Darhk, and the person in the grave will probably be Quentin Lance or Donna Smoak. Now, admittedly it could be Malcolm Merlyn responsible, and Thea is pretty high on the list of contenders to die, but even then that's some way off, so Nyssa's request here doesn't fit that timeframe. There's also the fact that Thea's bloodlust isn't really Malcolm's fault - unless you go all the way back to Sara's death - so that doesn't really fit either, and based on that grave scene and what we know of Oliver, he hasn't killed in a long time, so it's hugely unlikely he'll have killed Malcolm before then. Should've just stuck with the word 'no'.
