Or arrogant enough to think she just wouldn't get hacked.

I think its going to be more about alliances coming to bite them in the ass...... maybe Felicity with Helix, maybe Oliver and Bratva, maybe Tahlia comes back or flashback related with her, maybe all of it, maybe none of it Or, all of the above.

Oliver has issues with telling secrets ...... the only thing that I could think of is that he might be worried that they might be worried about him renewing his ties to Bratva, and the moral ambiguity of not just flirting but sleeping with a woman to get close to her for the Bratva. Maybe what he was secretly really worried about was that they did exactly what he was trying to avoid. He would have known that if he asked FS to hack her computer it was have been cleaner, easier, and less vial. However, if the Bratva knew what Felicity was really capable of, they might find more and more need to Oliver to do favors that Felicity could handle to get Felicity under their thumb and he wanted Thea and Felicity far away from Bratva. *Most of the time I feel like I'm actually putting out prompts for good fanfiction, instead of Arrow speculation.....because lets be honest.....TPTB wouldn't have thought that up

Maybe Anatoly had asked him to deal with Susan...and Thea screwed that up because he already had a plan.

Yes it is actually a book turned into a movie.... that book was also the basis for Cruel Intentions 'Published in 1782, just years before the French Revolution, Les Liaisons Dangereuses is a disturbing and ultimately damning portrayal of a decadent society. At its centre are two aristocrats, former lovers, who embark on a sophisticated game of seduction and manipulation to bring amusement to their jaded existences. While the Marquise de Merteuil challenges the Vicomte de Valmont to seduce an innocent convent girl, the Vicomte is also occupied with the conquest of a virtuous married woman. But as their intrigues become more duplicitous and they find their human pawns responding in ways they could not have predicted, the consequences prove to be more serious, and deadly, than Merteuil and Valmont could have guessed. '

Have we gotten the title for 519? Nevermind.....Dangerous liasons....got it

Maybe Oliver's limo crashes and because he is Mayor he has to go the hospital. Susan rushes to the hospital worried, after finding out that her leaked info nearly got him killed, only to walk in and Felicity already there with Oliver and by his side. So it occurs to her that FS was former CEO of PT and knew her way around computers. So she slowly walks away, no longer worried about Oliver, but renewed with anger because she thinks FS did this to get Oliver back.

This is typical OQ behavior though....... He is blind until he is forced to see that one of the women in his life did something bad. He refused to believe that Moira was up to anything in s1 He refused to think Thea was capable of killing anyone. Refused anything that was outside of the box with LL. So now he is doing it with Rita Skeeter......this is really typical Oliver behavior for the women in his life

If by some chance she believed Oliver when he said he didn't know, then she knows whoever did this would be someone close to him who he would have told and who had the capabilities.......If you rewatch the scene in 509 where they meet It's very clear that Felicity and Oliver are still in contact regularly and that they are being paralleled to Oliver, like eventually he will have to choose between them or they will be pitted against each other at one point. Susan also was kind of side eyeing Felicity.

There are a few people I know that follow him doggedly.....they mostly think he is as sick with the writing and the plot as everyone else......If you listen to him, when he really lights up his fave times are when its just OTA.... So one might suspect that he is just as fed up as we are, and just trying to hid it. I could see this, TBH, its really only a tiny leap to realize that the only person Oliver knows who is capable of hacking her computer is Felicity. If Susan goes out to destroy Felicity and ends up getting her arrested or hurt, then Thea might feel responsible and that might be why she chooses to leave for awile to reevaluate her life again, or decide to put the suit back on.

Well, I'm wondering if Prometheus will put Susan onto FS's path since everything else so far has not usurped FS from being OQ's right hand woman.

One: Susan isn't going to want to take the man back that may or may not be the cause of her unemployablity. Two: I always expected her to be back after they broke up. I assumed it would be a redemption arc, but now she has a need to clear her name and a vendetta against Oliver because she believes he is the reason for it all.

I feel like that must had rearranged parts of 514-516 to fit their needs......maybe in 515 the team finds out about Helix and keep it from Oliver......... or maybe they are spoiler shit they keeping leaving on the cutting room floor like some sick joke. Well..... at least Oliver had the sense to see things a little more clearly by the end, and was more worried than angry about Thea.......although conveniently over looking that Reeta Skeeter outed herself as writing a story about him.

I think she is angry and she will set out to see who around Oliver was capable of doing that to her, and she will end linking Felicity to it. So my guess is that we will see her go after Felicity, and Oliver will have to choose who to stand by. His ex whom he's still in love with, or the girl he was beginning to care about who clearly was out to get him. Some how, I'm gonna guess that this will happen around the time Olicity has their 'adult' conversation. However, I do think Reportiver is over. Odd thought....what if the Vigilante isn't attacking the Mayor but its Chase and he is trying to protect him because he knows its his fault?

The thing is Susan essentially outed herself as writing a story on him and he don't even seem to care, just that Thea got her fired.

so he don't even care that she had all that info....just that Thea got her fired?

The gorgeous Kit Harrington in a commercial made tonights episode of Arrow nice though....

that was really dumb as pur usual...they have too many chips that they put up, and need to fall so their all falling WAY TO FAST in this ep that none are making an impact.

So....now I think Oliver will figure it out on his own that Susan is bad news.... also that jail break totally set up

Probably not.....I certainly would not hold me breath

Exactly! For FS to just walk away, was OOC. Also I am not saying someone should stay in a relationship with someone that is bad for them just because they knew going in. I'm saying that there was no fighting for their relationship, their bond, their love....anything from either of them.....they both just gave up..... My mom's point was that, that's not an option in marriage, if you want your marriage to work you have to try to make it work not just give up and walk away. To me....the thing that sat more unsettling with me was how fast she forgave her mom. Her mom lied to her for 20 years. She believed that her father left her. She told her father she believed she was UNLOVABLE because he had left her. She admitted that she had self esteem problems, relationship problems....because she thought she wasn't good enough. Her mother did that, and never stepped forward and said anything. But she forgave her mother, because she understood her mother meant well and was trying to protect her. ...........But she ....called off her wedding and left Oliver and the team because he kept a secret for 3 months, thinking he was doing the right thing and was protecting his son. Also....I'm not blaming FS..........I'm blaming writers for making her OOC to fit their story. Regardless...........we are circling the drain.....we should change the subject.

The point.....Her walking out on him over him.....essentially 'being him' .............just didn't make sense....... The first words out of my mouth were, "What? Like you didn't know who you were marrying? Getting a ring doesn't magically change who he is." The first words out of my mom's mouth was, "That's not how relationship's work. That's not how marriage works. ALL spouses will make mistakes and keep secrets. What makes a marriage work is that don't bail, but you work through it. You ain't perfect either. I mean really, he may have done wrong but he honestly just wanted a chance to get to know his son. How can you leave him for that?" That's the answer he gives when he is lying threw his teeth but knows he cant say what he really feels.

Well...that depends on what you consider mature...... Felicity knew who she was dating and got engaged to...he didn't magically change just because he wanted to get married. She walked away at the first reminder that this was the man she was with, like she didn't't know before. She didn't give him a chance to explain, she didn't give him a chance to try to make it right, and she just up and walked away from him and the team(temporarily) because she had a reminder of who he is. Which really really made her a hypocrite for forgiving her mother for choosing to lie to her for 20 years in a way that led to a lot of emotional and relationship issues for her for years.

My problem comes with the fact that clearly for a group of 40+ married men they don't understand mature relationships or the word mature at all.

They did, and I was at the con where SA grudgingly repeated what TPTB had said about that it would be handled with maturity.....you could tell he hated the way it was handled.
