They are Oliver Queen's (Stephen Amell) biggest target this season. Incidentally, a show boss at "Arrow" has denied that Darhk is Felicity's father, but executive producer Wendy Mericle told ComicBook.com Felicity's father is also a villain. TV Guide raises the possibility that this week's villain, The Calculator, is Felicity Smoak's father.
According to a separate "Arrow" Season 4 synopsis, Nyssa and Laurel (Katie Cassidy) would be having a heart-to-heart discussion. Fans are guessing it could be about Laurel's sister Sara, who is now time travelling in the spinoff series "Legends of Tomorrow" with Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill). Could this episode be about Nyssa's quest to reunite with Sara? Perhaps they would be talking about other things, too. In the same TV Guide report, Law seems to hint that she would first have to deal with Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman), who is the new Ra's al Ghul. The "move" in the "Unchained" synopsis is linked to her quest for vengeance. After getting thrown in a dungeon, Nyssa is now unchained, unleashing her warrior self again.
