Arrow Season 5: 10 Questions We're Asking After 'A Matter Of Trust' 

2. How Will Quentin Handle Being Deputy Mayor?

While Susan Williams' story looked like it might scupper Quentin's move to becoming Deputy Mayor, Oliver chooses to go ahead and confirm the appointment.

It's a smart move from Ollie, because of Quentin's experience, and from the show, as it gives the character a clear reason to stick around (and stay sober).

That last part may be the crux of the issue with him having this new role, and whether he can stay off the drink now that he's in office. I'm not sure we need to see him go through so many struggles again.
