Arrow Season 4: 13 Big Questions After 'Sins Of The Father'

4. Would They Really Kill Off William?

This episode very much paints a target over William, given we already know that someone is going to be killed, and it'll someone very close to Oliver. That knowledge, combined with Malcolm selling William out to Damien Darhk, posits him as one of the favourites to be in the grave, even more so than he was already. It's a plausible theory, because it would be a tragic death, one that would motivate Oliver to kill again, and also get the show out of a possible scenario of him having to be a full-time father. But on the other hand, are they really going to go down the route of having the title character's young son killed off? Not just dying, but actually, intentionally murdered? That's dark, even for Arrow. Will they do it, or is this just another deliberate attempt at misleading us all? You can read my thoughts on who's in the grave (written before this episode) here.
