** Oliver's masquerade doesn't hold up much if anybody decides to dig a little deeper.
** Similiarly, someone who has been publicly accused of being a vigilante more than once will eventually end up having people like the FBI looking into the situation.
** What does Anatoly do when Oliver shows up with an antidote? Kill his hostage of course.
** Diggle's tremors were going to get someone in trouble eventually; Dinah almost gets garroted when he can't take a shot.
