* WhatAnIdiot: Donna pleading to Lance to admit that he knew Laurel was the Black Canary because lying is wrong, rationalizing that there's 'no small lies'. Its an idiotically self-righteous sentiment given the fact that he's only lying so he can get his badge back-something he needs to help the city, the fact that Laurel lied to protect her secret while she was alive (and Quinten lied to protect hers too), and all it does is give an excuse for romantic drama between the two. [[SarcasmMode Because, the one thing Arrow needed was more romantic drama]].

** Felicity is forced to relocate the nuke's target thirty miles to the west, and ends up accidentally wiping out a small town. But if the warhead had gone to the ''east'', according to the map, it would have landed in the Potomac River, with ''zero'' casualties. Obviously, there would be issues with a nuke going off in a major river like the Potomac, but it makes one wonder why Felicity didn't quicky check to see if there was anywhere else she could change the targeting system to.

If the show doesn't treat it as bad then it's Not That Trope.


* DesignatedEvil:
** Quentin lying that he didn't know Laurel was the Black Canary in order to get his job as cop back. Nevermind that he'd be lying about a matter that was no longer important since Laurel died, he wouldn't cause any harm by this lie, that this show being about a group of vigilantes lies are pretty much a constant and he needed his job back to do some good. Donna insists that "there are no small lies" and the show apparently agrees, since Quentin changes his mind.
** Felicity openly loathes Denis for throwing her out of the company, but he actually has multiple valid reasons for doing so. The show, however, seems to consider it a case of RealityEnsues and doesn't depict Denis as openly malicious.

is this supposed to be on Donna's side or writer's side or both? Either way i think there are more fitting tropes for that situation.
