* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** Given how base breaking it is that Felicity broke up with Oliver over him not telling her about his son, this episode hammers that it's not that he lied, but that she realized Oliver will ''always'' fall back on keeping secrets and he will ''always'' decide to work alone when he feels it is the best solution. While this isn't presented as unanimously wrong, it's a train of thought Felicity can't accept.
** While leaving the team, Felicity tells Oliver that since he hacked into Adam Hunt's bank account and stole back all the money he swindled from his victims (way back in the pilot), he isn't actually dependent on her hacking skills. Arguably, this is a response to criticism among some sections of the fanbase that Oliver no longer demonstrates some skills he used to have in early episodes in order to make him dependent on the team.

* LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt: Although the ending implies that Felicity may [[PutOnABus leave the show]] (as she IS leaving Team Arrow), the preview for [[Recap/ArrowS4E17BeaconOfHope next week's episode]], the [[Recap/ArrowS4E10BloodDebts flash-forward]], and the fact that she apparently [[Recap/LegendsOfTomorrowS1E6StarCity2046 sticks around for a few decades with her company until Grant Wilson seizes the city]] all shoot down this idea.

* MoralEventHorizon: While Cupid was already quite unhinged before, this episode really marks the point of no return for her.

It says quite clearly on the page for And The Fandom Rejoiced not to link to it. It is for in-universe examples and links from the descriptions at the beginning of related trope pages only.
