As far as the finale goes, this is the big talking point: the return of Slade Wilson.

After a will he/won't he, he is/no he's not back-and-forth regarding Manu Bennett's involvement, Deathstroke is definitely back for the finale, with Oliver bringing back the show's best villain to help stop the most dangerous he's faced since.

This could be used to put a final nail in the Deathstroke coffin, and end further calls for his return. But given how personal the rivalry is between Slade and Oliver, it'd be better served if his death was more centred around just the two of them, rather than for Prometheus' arc. A big cliffhanger has been teased for the finale, and a good bet could be Slade Wilson escaping Lian Yu.
