On her deathbed, Laurel Lance made Oliver promise her something. It's been kept a secret so far, but in Season 5 - the first episode, no less - we're going to find out just what she asked of him.

While the trailers have suggested it's about him not going it alone, the promise has been built into something bigger than that. It's been said that it's something he must do, and something he mustn't.

That could still just be not going it alone, but the way they've teased the promise and final words, I'd like to think there's a little bit more to it. I'm going to be disappointed, aren't I?
