Arrow Season 4: 12 Questions We're Asking After 'Code Of Silence'

5. Will Ollie Come Clean About His Son?

A lot of this episode is about keeping secrets, with the parallels being drawn between Oliver, keeping his son secret from everyone, and Quentin, who lies to Donna about the real reason he needs to put their relationship on the backburner for a few weeks. There were some good moments in here, such as the conversation between Thea and Oliver (it worked in terms of sibling bonding, even if it didn't make an awful lot of sense for Thea as a character), and some that basically screamed Oliver needed to come clean - Felicity talking to her mother about Quentin having a good reason to keep a secret, the detective telling Oliver that it was good he had a woman he didn't need to keep secrets from. Lance eventually tells Donna the truth, but Oliver is still keeping the secret about his son from Felicity, encouraged to do so by Thea. It's something he'll no doubt continue to struggle with, especially in light of events at the end of this episode, but can he continue to keep it from his friends? Will he even have a choice?
