Arrow Season 4: 16 WTF Moments From 'Beacon Of Hope'

by Andrew Pollard

1. Andy Diggle!

In likely the biggest shocker of Beacon of Hope, the show€™s closing moments revealed a new ally of Malcom Merlyn€™s. That man, surprisingly, is Andy Diggle. Now, this could all prove to be a cunning ruse on the part of Team Arrow, but it was nonetheless a big WTF moment to end this latest episode on. John Diggle€™s brother was brought back from the dead earlier this season, with it revealed that he never actually died and that he was instead a criminal working for Damien Darhk and H.I.V.E. After a stint in an Arrowcave cage, Andy seemingly eventually saw the error of his ways and made peace with his broski and new pals. So, it was a huge shocker to see him apparently in the pocket of Merlyn here. Could he really have turned his back on his brother again? Was he merely just playing John along all of this time? Or could it be that Andy is really setting Merlyn up for a mighty fall? We€™ll have to wait and see. Agree with these WTF moments or have some of your own?
