Arrow Season 4: 12 Big Questions We're Asking After 'Broken Hearts'

2. How Does Felicity Fit Into The Show Now?

If it's unclear how Oliver moves forward, that probably does doubly so for Felicity. She's ended her romantic relationship with him, and now it looks as though she's walking away from Team Arrow as well. 

She still has Palmer Tech, but that's not going to be enough to sustain her as a key character, so she'll have to be brought back into the fold someway, especially since she definitely isn't the one being killed off. 

Hopefully when that happens, they can bring back the proper Felicity. She's one of the show's best characters, which is why she was the breakout fan-favourite who ended up staying much longer than anticipated, and once upon a time was really fun. There were signs of her getting back to that in Season 4, but the past few weeks have served to undo it, and now she's a character that half the fanbase can't stand. 

I'm still a big fan, but she's been badly served by the writers. Hopefully however they move forward with her character, whether she's with Oliver or not, they can get back to what made the character so great in the first place.
