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...
Season 7 heads the viewers into new, fascinating directions. . Wow! is the word that came into mind. It has a whole new feel to the show. Let's say, it's not the Arrow we used to know.

We find this to be Oliver's nightmare, as we see Diaz shoot Felicity. I also think that this might be a foreshadowing of the part William plays in future events. Flash Forward: Instead of flashback...
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. ...
It was pretty interesting. Can't wait to see it. I hope it's good.
