Arrow 610 Divided

       One of  my readers wondered how Felicity could have missed the bug that Cayden James had Black Siren place in the Arrow lair. She also thought that Dinah, Curtis, and Rene, all leaving, was all a rouse to make it appear that they had left the team and that Felicity, John, and Oliver had to save the city alone.  That sounds very plausible, and it could very well be true.  Felicity with all her skill would surely know that a bug was there, because Oliver had picked up that Slade Wilson had planted bug in all areas of his mansion, so if Oliver could find it, surely Felicity with all her skill could find it. With Dinah, Rene, and Curtis all working separately, they could work behind the scenes and finally find ways to bring Cayden James down.  I truly like this scenario and hope this one turns out to be correct.

      That's one possible scenario. I am going to present another possible speculation that could  work as well.  Felicity is brilliant, and everyone knows this, but Cayden James has an equal brilliance.  After all he found a way for Felicity to leave her fingerprints that on that device, and as far as we know, she hasn't realized she left them behind.  So could James have fooled her? He could have.  Also, there has so far been no evidence shown that Dinah knows Vincent Sobel works for James.  The team being separate could have been a plan put into place by James to help bring Oliver down.  The team may want to prove to Oliver that they are every bit as good as OTA when it comes to solving crime, so they pit themselves again OTA to see who the better team is.  That could also make an interesting story line.  However, as angry as they may be, there is a part of them that does respect Oliver, and I think that Oliver will ask for their help when James releases his plan against Felicity.

        No matter if the team split is a rouse or real, it presents us with an interesting story line, and one that will prove a real challenge for OTA.  What do you think will happen?
