* MoodWhiplash: While Oliver and Felicity celebrate in the limo, they're suddenly stopped by a duo of jeeps...driven by Ghosts. As they begin to unload their guns into Oliver's ride, we cut to a scene of Darhk sneaking quietly into another person's home, just as Oliver manages to push his dead driver aside and take the wheel. Once he exits and takes Felicity, her body looks riddled and [[BloodFromTheMouth a small streak of blood comes from her mouth]]...then cut back to Darhk, who was sneaking into his ''own'' home and happily greets his wife and child, putting the star on their Christmas tree. '''END MID SEASON FINALE.''' As noted below, the whiplash is made even more apparent by the SoundtrackDissonance, with ''frickin' Little Drummer Boy'' playing in the background!.
