Arrow Season 4 SPOILERS: Is Oliver Queen/Felicity Smoak Olicity Relationship In "Dark Place?"

The CW Network continues Season 4 of Arrow. In the fight against Damien Dhark (Neal McDonough), is Oliver Queen aka The Green Arrow (Stephen Amell) and Felicity Smoak  (Emily Bett Rickards)'s Olicity relationship heading towards a "dark place?"

In our previous recap, Diggle (David Ramsay) and the Green Arrow were betrayed by Andy as Damien Dhark (Neal McDonough) set up the prison riot. Using his mystery powers, Damien forced the Green Arrow to watch as he stabbed Laurel Lance aka Black Canary (Katie Cassidy) to death. Laurel proclaimed her love for Oliver before she passed away, leaving her father, Captain Lance (Paul Blackthorne) truly alone.

In our recent recap, Captain Lance (Paul Blackthorne) struggled to accept that his daughter was actually dead as a new Black Canary surfaced. Oliver tried to keep his team together as Diggle went after The Mayor to find his missing brother. At her funeral, Oliver remembered in flashbacks how much they loved each other after Tommy's death. After Laurel's funeral, Oliver knew he had to stop Damien once and for all. Though she was against killing from the start, Felicity asked Oliver finish Damien and take his life; as if she were giving him her permission.

In an interview with TV Line, showrunner Wendy Mericle explains that the story arc coming up before the fourth season finale, ""was less about plot and more about unanswered questions about character stuff. We're going to take the team to a pretty dark place [so] it's much more about, 'Where are we going to pick these guys up?' [in the fall]."

Mericle adds, "The character arcs that we built this season, we knew exactly where we wanted every character to end, and it was in a very sort of morally grey place. So they're asking themselves some pretty profound questions."
