The more I think about it, the more I get annoyed at how they wrote Barry not realizing that "Check if the y chromosomes on these two things are the same" was a paternity test. I mean, has he EVER heard Oliver get that specific about science stuff? I'm pretty sure that Oliver would have no idea of anything that a test like that could be used for other than paternity, and Barry should have realized that, too.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I also really don't buy Felicity just losing her shit entirely and going from zero to break-up in 30 seconds when Ollie just had his life completely upended. Plus, it's really out of character for her to bust out with a trust = loyalty test (that's really just designed to be a gotcha).
Hurt, yes. Thrown for a serious loop, totally. But OMG WE ARE SO OVER YOU UNTRUSTING LIAR? Yeah, no.

I don't think Felicity was quite at break-up yet -- she was pissed, but if that timeline had continued, I think they would have cooled off and been able to discuss it. I think we're supposed to be seeing that she doesn't really believe that Oliver is going to stay.
And on that note, what on earth was preventing Oliver from lying to Samantha and telling the truth to Felicity, rather than the other way around? Tell Samantha, "I won't tell anyone," but then tell Felicity the whole thing. He's learned dozens of times by now that lying to loved ones never ends well, but he has no reason to keep a promise to Samantha, who's giving him an ultimatum.

Really? I took that as break-up (and, IIRC, so did Barry).

Seriously.

It seemed to me that it wasn't final. I'd have to watch it again, though.
Also, in that final scene, some of the glass on the floor was from that bowl where Oliver hid the ring, wasn't it? He's not stupid enough to have actually left the ring in there for months, is he?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Oliver? Yes, he is.

Any bets on how long Oliver can keep popping over to Central City for playdates with this kid before someone like Savage or the League of Assassins puts two and two together and fridges him?

I didn't get the promo for the next ep of Arrow last night, but it's available online nonetheless: [link]

Only a bit, because there were a bunch of interviews this summer where they said they weren't going to do that so much anymore.

Dang, maybe THAT'S who's in the grave. Would they do that? I mean, they killed Moira in front of Ollie, but a kid is a whole different level of horrificness.
