The Arrow lair is looking pretty empty now, with Thea and Diggle heading off to pastures new on soul-searching missions. However, there's no way they aren't going to return, so it's just a matter of when, and why?

Unlike with Oliver at the beginning of this year, there's no necessary rush to bring them back, so the show could (and maybe should) take a little bit of time in having them come back to Star City, just so their absence can truly be felt.

But when they do come back, surely it's got to be for something important, as opposed to 'ok I'm all better now'. The synopsis for the upcoming season refers to "sinister players with a connection to Oliver’s past will push the team to its breaking point, threatening everything Oliver’s worked for and his legacy as the Green Arrow.”

Who could they be (something to do with Russia, maybe, given where the flashbacks seem to be headed?), and will they be what prompts the others to return?
