Arrow Season 4: 12 Questions We're Asking After The Mid-Season Finale

6. What About Oliver And His Son?

Last week's 'Flarrow' crossover episodes gave us, among the more action-packed and fan-pleasing moments, the reveal of Oliver finally finding out about his son. While viewers have known this information for a while, it was a shock to Oliver, and a surprise to see the show introduce this element at this stage, with many other wheels spinning. Those wheels keep on spinning this week, while the subplot about Ollie's son isn't mentioned, and it's going to be interesting to see just how much of that story the show is able to fit in, and whether it does just become more of an afterthought. When it does actually appear, it's intriguing how Oliver is going to play it, because at some point that secret is going to come out, but I don't think the show (or Oliver) are ready for him to take on full parental responsibilities.
