The Sin Eater brings back three formidable female foes: China White, Carrie Cutter, and Liza Warner. All three of these foes appeared in seasons one and two of Arrow. This whole season has referred back to the first two seasons. I had forgotten about Liza Warner, until the brief flashback reminded me of who she was. The theme for last night's episode addresed the question, Can you take on the responsibility of someone else's sins? Antaoly , in the Russia flashback, tells Oliver that he is a sin eater by wanting to take on other's sin. This is something Oliver has done for all 5 episodes, isn't it? Wasn't he trying to make up for his father's sins by crossing off names on a list? Oliver helped Anatoly in the hospital. I am guessing that in the next episode we shall find that Oliver killed Gregor before Gregor could kill Anatoly. Quintin Lance feels guilt over Liza Warner, because Liza heard in prison that Lance worked with Damien Dah...
Many blogs posts state that Tommy Merlyn is Prometheus. They have some plausible reasons for the suggestion. In summary: Tommy Merlyn was a huge part of season 1, and the showrunners say this season goes back to season 1, and if I remember correctly would be an original character from season 1. Malcolm could easily have put Tommy in the Lazarus pit. He could have seen the terrible results of doing so, because those who go in come out completely different. He was adamant about not wanting Thea put in the pit. Was it because of what it did to Tommy? Malcolm could easily have satisfied Tommy's blood lust, as he tried to do for Thea. Tommy would have a reason to come back to Starling City, when he found out that Laurel had been killed, and he believes Oliver killed Laurel, hence he wants revenge. Tommy knew about the book of names Robert gave Oliver and Felicity and Diggle being an important part of Oliver's life. ...
The next episode of Arrow is the penultimate episode that marks the rush towards the end of the season. These are often the most exciting episodes of the season, and this one looks no different. Oliver and Felicity have kept a cordial coolness towards each other. We have seen glimmers of hope between them: a look here, a touch there, but there is an edge to their relationship. Felicity is clearly upset over what Chase has done to Oliver, and she is determined to bring Chase down by any means she can using Helix. Helix willingly let her, but now will ask something very illegal and dangerous of her. Oliver asks her not to do this, and Felicity challenges him by saying, "You'll have to stop me." I am pretty sure that Oliver will stop her, and that at the end of the episode we will find them ready to face the demons they both have held inside. It's an interesting dynamic to have these two face off like ...
