Arrow Season 4: 17 WTF Moments From 'Code Of Silence'

Black Canary gets nailed!

With Code of Silence, Arrow again turned its attention to the day-to-day Oliver Queen whilst the Green Arrow side of the character took a bit of a backseat. This latest episode instead largely centred on Ollie€™s mayoral campaign as he looks to go up against Ruve Adams, the wife of uber-rogue Damien Darhk. New to the scene in order to help out Ruve are The Demolition Team, joining the show in order to help cause chaos and destruction in Star City. Whilst Team Arrow and Captain Lance do their best to take down this new threat, we also get brought up to speed with Damien as he now knows Oliver Queen€™s biggest secret: that he has a young son called William. Elsewhere, the Oliver and Felicity wedding looms large, whilst Quentin Lance and Donna Smoak€™s relationship hits some problems in a WTF-filled episode of Arrow. So, with that said, let€™s take a look back at Code of Silence€™s most shocking, surprising or downright random WTF moments.

17. Not Married?

Just to fully get over the fact that Ruve Adams is a no-good lying sort, the opening moments of this latest Arrow outing saw Oliver flat-out ask her about whether she€™s married. Of course, we all know that she€™s actually married to the monstrous Damien Darhk, but here she completely refutes the notion of her being married. Then again, you wouldn€™t openly admit that you have a supervillain as your life partner. What was the best part of this exchange was Ollie dropping in the line that Ruve is a €œdark horse€. Dark horse€ Darhk horse€ geddit?
