In an interview with TV Line, "Arrow" showrunner Wendy Mericle reveals that Laurel's return will be "a very welcome surprise" for Oliver. However, there is more than meets the eye.
"But there will be... whatever the reverse of a 'silver lining' is... when he finds out what's really going on. It will have a lot of emotional resonance, particularly for him and Felicity," Mericle said.
In addition, Malone's death will push Felicity to "a darker place." Meanwhile, Diggle is put in a prison again where he fights for his life. As per the showrunner, when Diggle comes out of the prison he will have bigger goals to achieve. He will go against Colonel Walker and he will also "grow closer to Adrian Chase."
