Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Highest HSQ of the season.

Did Daddy Merlyn actually say "Oh, no" at the end?

He did.
I couldn't figure that out. Given what he's done up until now, why would this particular development bother him?

Perhaps he does actually still possess some shred of conscience? And/or just feels bad that he almost killed his son's buddy/Moira's son?
Also, I am NOT ON BOARD with Ollie and Laurel.
And I remain, as always, a HUGE Felicity fangirl.

I concur...Tewltly.
The "I see what you did there" moment with Tommy made me groan out loud.
Cliche much, Show?
But, Felicity was awesome. It's too bad she did not see the tracking of her trojan horse. She was not paying attention!

DRAPES EXIST FOR A REASON, LAUREL.
I don't want Tommy to go bad, except he's kind of awesome no matter what.
I feel like Daddy Merlyn can't survive the season finale. He's a bad guy, and he knows the vigilante's identity now. I can't think of a way that works on an ongoing basis, narratively. Unless Ollie is totally outed in the finale. (Which I kind of think will happen, because it just seems like it's set up for A LOT of people to discover his identity: Thea and Roy, Moira, Cop Daddy, and Laurel. By the end of the episode, only Walter won't know Ollie is the vigilante. [Also: WALTER DON'T GO!])

AGAIN, I am totally with you.
Your thought about Daddy Merlyn was exactly my thought. That and, really, is that the best they can do with his hair?
Unless they work out some massive, spiritual/moral turn-around on DM's part...which, if they do, I'll have to quit the show.
Too bad for John Barrowman, but he'll land on his feet.
I'm crushed at the thought that Walter will actually leave and am hoping he somehow becomes part of the Scooby Gang. He's too awesome to lose.
I was relieved that Ollie finally knows all about Momma Queen's involvement and, what the undertaking is. That 'he nearly found out but missed it by thismuch' storyline was beginning to grate.
No LIE about the curtains! Who does that? And, what are the odds that he'd be standing outside at that precise moment?
I say again, WAY too cliche...besides, Shakespeare did it better. Retire that theme, writers!
