Arrow Season 4: 18 WTF Moments From 'Unchained'

3. The Reveal

During this season€™s Lian Yu flashbacks, Oliver has been plagued by guilt over the fact that he killed Taiana€™s brother, Vlad. We knew that he€™d have to tell her at some point, and Unchained proved to be just that point. Whilst revealing the truth to Taiana was a WTF moment in itself, what was even more crazy about the situation was that Oliver did so based upon a hallucination of a long-dead pal. Yeah, good logic, sir. Sure, Oliver and Shado struck up quite the bond during their time together on the island, but you know things aren€™t going well when you€™re reduced to taking advice from the tripped-out ghost of the person whose death drove your €˜brother€™ to go insane and turn into a supervillain.
