SPOILERS: Tonight's Episode Of ARROW Featured A Shocking Return No One Saw Coming

Well, I think it's fair to say we didn't expect that! Tonight's episode of Arrow featured a major casualty, some big twists, and the return of a big fan-favourite. Hit the jump for the scoop...

Laurel Lance is back! It's currently unclear whether she's back as a result of Flashpoint, a hallucination (seriously?), or somehow resurrected, but it looks like we'll have to wait until Arrow returns next year to learn more. With Artemis no longer part of Team Arrow, there's definitely a place for Black Canary anyway. However, the cliffhanger ending was far from the only shocking twist this episode delivered. 

Prometheus - who may be the son of a criminal killed by Oliver Queen during season one - managed to trick the Emerald Archer into killing Felicity's boyfriend Malone by disguising him in his costume. That didn't lead to Felicity leaving the team, but here's hoping it hasn't opened the door to, ugh, Olicity! 

Finally, after receiving a call from Lyla, Diggle found himself surrounded by a SWAT team who want to take him in, so things aren't looking to good for him either as of right now. What do you guys think about Laurel's return? As always, be sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments section, and check out what Amell had to say about the midseason finale in a Facebook Live post below.

- Prometheus and Oliver were trained by Talia al Ghul.
- Laurel is back.
- Prometheus isn't Malone.
- The whole wild goose chase tonight was just to screw with Oliver and let him know that he knows everything.
- Susan Williams, the reporter, is working for Prometheus. (I think she's the pharmaceutical guy's illegitimate daughter. The Baby photo they found.)

I really hope that Tommy is Prometheus. It would make the most emotional reveal.

Plus, Prometheus dismissed Oliver killing the pharmaceutical guy because it isn't about revenge, which would be the motive if it really was his child.

@BlackStar25 - If it's Tommy, just imagine Thea's reaction to finding out her brother is alive, but he doesn't know that he's her brother. Imagine Malcolm's reaction.

The possibilities of Tommy coming back are just too damn great for it not to be him.

@Kr08 - They are definitely leading us to believe it's the guy that works for Oliver.

@Buckster10 - What guy?

Buckster10 - 12/7/2016, 7:22 PM
@Kr08 - Forgot his name but they showed him tonight to remind us he's there.

@Buckster10 - Isn't he Vigilante tho??????

@Buckster10 - District Attorney Adrian Chase is actually Vigilante. They showed him tonight because they're dropping hints about him and his hatred for what's happening to the city. The same hatred Vigilante has displayed.

Also, Chase is Vigilante in the comics.

@BlackStar25 - Crap, I forgot about that already! Good call. As a side note, I remember reading the Vigilante mini when I was a kid. Loved the violence and the story pulled no punches. He even killed himself at the end. Heavy stuff.

@Kr08 - Yeah forgot about that already. I think the guy who plays Tommy is on another show so I'm actually stumped here.

@Kr08 - is it at all possible that reporter chick is Prometheus ?

Prometheus is terrifying as hell. He killed how many men just to set up a crime scene similar to the one The Hood left behind. He's almost up there with Slade Wilson with the level of crazy.

This season is great so far. If it continues this way, then it'll be up there with season 2.
