The heat is on for Team Green Arrow as they struggle to stay united amidst situations that may tear them apart. Recently, the CW series' showrunner made mention of Oliver's plan to rescue Diggle and Felicity's secrets that may impact the team in "Arrow" Season 5.

"Arrow" Season 5 episode 3 featured Felicity's (Emily Bett Rickards) admission of her involvement in Haven Rock's bombing to Rory (Joe DiNicol). Aired on Oct. 9, Wednesday, the said episode titled "A Matter of Trust" included Felicity's teary confession, the appearance of a "Suicide Squad" character and more. Despite her confession, Team Green Arrow's tech genius is still harboring a few secrets from Oliver (Stephen Amell) and her loved ones.

In a press event, showrunner Guggenheim made mention of Felicity's dilemma and other interesting details that viewers will see in upcoming episodes.
