Arrow Season 4: 12 Questions We're Asking After 'Legends Of Yesterday'

5. What€™s Happening With Flashback Oliver?

In a season full of flashbacks with Oliver learning about magic back on Lian Yu, few people likely expected the flashbacks to take such a radically different form this week. Seeing Chay-Ara, Khufu and Savage in Ancient Egypt was a cool detour, but it was extremely out of place for Arrow and it already feels as if they need to return to the standard flashback format. But it€™s been a while since the younger Oliver was seen and, with so much going on in the present, it€™s almost hard to remember what he was up to. To recap, Oliver seems to be gaining Reiter€™s trust after he performed some sort of magical test to determine that he was telling the truth. Furthermore, Oliver now has a plan of action: acquire a survey map as a means to find what Reiter is searching for. When we pick back up, will things have progressed further? Could Oliver be in a higher position of command, or even ready to steal the map? Or maybe it€™ll pick up exactly where it left off, there€™s only one way to get answers and that€™s a return to the flashbacks.
