Arrow Season 4: Things That Need To Happen Before The Mid-Season Break

7. Reveal More Of Reiter's Plan

The flashbacks this year, often the most boring element of the show (especially in Season 3), have actually been pretty interesting. Not amazing, but generally solid enough to be worth investing some time in every episode. Part of that has been the dynamic between Oliver and Conklin, with the latter coming very close to catching out the former, but it's also the whole mystery surrounding Baron Reiter's activity on Lian Yu that is proving to be quite intriguing. It's clear by this stage that it's not just drugs he's after, and that's serving as a front for his real goal. What that is remains unknown, but it would appear to involve the 'magic and mysticism' that has played such a big part in Season 4 already, and getting to know a bit more about it (and Reiter himself) would be a good way to position the flashbacks heading into the break.
