I think that was probably supposed to be 10, haha.

He did, but as far as we know Chase is the only one who had evidence of Green Arrow killing Billy. He's the only dot connector that we know of so far, so I just figured that somehow he'd be the one to connect those dots for her. I suppose Prometheus could randomly leave proof for her to find, but going after Oliver hasn't really been his MO so far, unless he's looking to destroy Oliver's relationship with Susan, which...LOL. I guess she could get to one of the cops on the scene or the coroner that Chase said he was "taking care of." Last ep showed that Chase doesn't seem to trust Susie all that much so he'd probably be reluctant to help her out with any investigation unless there was some mutually beneficial information shared. It would make sense if Chase went after Oliver after finding out he was Bratva if something tragic happened to his family because of them - it would also fit the vengeance-because-of-the-death-of-a-loved-one MO this show loves so well. And would also be one hell of a coincidence, and this show loves those too!

Maybe Oliver inspires him to find another way?!!!1! There's still an extra chair or two at the bunker's conference room table. He can join the team too.

I guess it could have something to do with the shooting and Oliver's stance on guns (considering it seems like he says his office's position on gun control is 'complicated' in the preview - if that's not a creative cut). But then why he'd go after Green Arrow first instead of Oliver is kinda a mystery. Unless it's because it seems like based on the description that Green Arrow doesn't do anything the attack at all. I suppose Chase would see both Oliver and Green Arrow as useless in that case? Maybe someone close to Chase gets hurt in the attack so that makes it extra personal, so he decides to go after Oliver on both fronts? *this is assuming Chase actually IS Vigilante at this point.

It looks like a random shooter - Chase is in the room when a gunman shows up (based on the extended preview).

Since Chase is the only one who knew that Green Arrow killed Billy, I'm guessing Susie is going to wind up talking to him when she's researching her piece on the Mayo Murder. What if Susie's article doesn't wind up outing Green Arrow/Oliver, but her investigation does? Like, she either purposely mentions Oliver being Green Arrow to Chase, or inadvertently gives him the clues that allow him to put that together. Then Chase - who said he destroyed (or hid, I can't remember) the Mayo Murder evidence not only sics the cops on Green Arrow, but (possibly because they haven't caught him in 14) then goes after Oliver as mayor the next ep. There are plot holes, like, why would Chase have the cops go after Green Arrow when he could just out Oliver and be done with it. And this, of course, wouldn't really make Susie fully shady...so...IDK. Just trying to figure it out.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that pic.

The only thing I can speculate on based on that summary is that Green Arrow is still wanted since Diggle leads the team in taking down Vigilante. Either that or Oliver gets hurt in the attack.

An "adult conversation" + "surprising reaction" means it's gonna be NBD I guess? Maybe Oliver will encourage her to use it more (although that wouldn't match with the speech he gave her and Diggle this week, but what is consistency?).

He's been hanging out with Wendy.

It is my greatest wish.

Glad the director got it in a completely unnecessary shot then!

I think she played his girlfriend? and yeah, looks like it.

Yeah, that seems to be the likely direction. Otherwise there's no motive for them to give her Pandora and encourage her to keep using it, unless they need a particular skill set of hers that they want enough intel on her to be able to blackmail her into using. But that group has been able to get things that Felicity couldn't, so it seems as if she's the lower hacker on the totem pole there.

MG posted a floor plan for it last season - O/F's bedroom was above the kitchen - the second bedroom was on the other side of the loft directly across from it.

Yeah, that looks like Digg's fugitive shack.

OMG will we have to go through this again next season?

What happens in Hub City stays in Hub City!

I want to watch it just because it seems like they're tying Wild Dog's tragic past to gun violence and I want to see how they do that considering he's a present-day Shootout McGee.

No, you're right. That was the reason why she decided to give him a 30-day expose reprieve - because he told her he wanted to do some good for the city.

If her story is what tips off the cops then she'd have to publish it, wouldn't she? Unless she just goes digging and talks to the wrong people at the SCPD who put 2+2 together? The only problem is that Chase is the only one who knows that the Green Arrow killed Billy, and he said he destroyed the evidence. Unless I guess maybe he didn't and in some weird rage-filled episode he gives that evidence to Susan for her report? Or maybe Prometheus had a recording and he gives it to her. In which case she still publishes it with malice knowing that Oliver either is or could be the Green Arrow. And in that case...regardless of what Oliver thinks when he finds out she's been investigating him, why on earth would she want to stay with a guy who murdered a cop? I guess maybe she could plan on reporting it and have all of her information collected and then it could get released anyway, but that doesn't make much sense because the only person who would release it is Prometheus, and he already knows that Oliver killed Billy - there's no need to bring the reporter into it and then release something without her knowledge. None of this is making a whole lot of sense, so...it's just a wait and see, I guess.

Also - why are they calling Dinah "Backstop" in the field? I mean the show gave away that they were looking for a new canary so it's not like that reveal is gonna be a surprise. Are they just incorporating everything right away EXCEPT the name for whatever idiot reason? Are they going to have a naming ceremony for her? Will someone crack a bottle of champagne over her ass when she puts on the costume for the first time? Makes no sense.

If her story is what makes the cops go after Oliver, then I guess that's her point. Although if she knows Oliver is or could be the Green Arrow and still publishes it then...feelings didn't stop her from doing a damn thing.

Yeah, he wrote that they don't reveal who Prometheus is.

I don't think she's working with Prometheus, but who knows with this show and its "gotchas."
