As was the case in The Demon, this surprise shouldve been evident.
Of course, this big reveal raises questions: What does she want?
Where has she been all this time?
DC Comics’ Green Arrow Vol. 5, #32.DC Comics
If she hasnt been in Star City, why does she care about saving it?
Also, is secret love child the soapiest CW reveal the show has pulled off in a while?
The first time Oliver meets his half-sister, shes trying to kill him.
They eventually work past that and she becomes Olivers sidekick, but the personality she developed under Komodo remains.
END ASIDE)
Arrowis already putting its own spin on the character.
For one, the shows version of Emiko is much older than her comic book counterpart.
Clearly, sticking too close to Emikos comic book origins would lead to some weird stuff.
Whoever her mother is, though, it makes sense that Robert would have a secret child.
(She does know how to workout!).
Their investigation eventually clears NGAs name, but raise more questions.
But theres the little problem that he just got out of prison and vigilantes have been outlawed.
Dinah, however, comes up with a solution and hires him to work with the SCPD.
Olivers life isnt completely back to normal, though.
Unfortunately, this isnt something the couple will easily get past.
Theres just way too much mystery and not enough concrete information to make me invested.
