William's mother hasn't been on the show much, but she has long been a major presence lurking in the background, a part of Oliver's life that could totally change his life as both Oliver Queen and Green Arrow.

The end of Season 5 put a renewed focus on Oliver as a father, making a big deal of the lengths he'd go to in order to protect William. That could be hinting they're getting ready for him to make the step-up to more full-time parenthood in Season 6, and a way to do that would be to kill of Samantha. Having Oliver become a dad proper is a risk for the show, and one they might not want to take, but the finale does seem to be leaning that way.

Prediction: Very good chance of dying.
