Daddy Lance figures it out pretty quickly that his daughter is Black Canary, which makes you wonder if he hasn’t just kept to himself that Oliver is the Arrow.

By this point: His contact to the Arrow is an Employee of Queen Consolidated, a former IT person who got promoted to Oliver Queen’s assistant.

Sara, who was on the same boat as Oliver came back as a crime fighting superhero

The Arrow started at the same time as Queen. sure it was “debunked” that Oliver was the Arrow thanks to Diggle donning the Hood when Oliver was under house arrest, but come on, you already know by this point

Laurel becoming the assistant counsel for the prosecution was well played despite the conflict of interest (and you know she had to be made lead counsel a couple of episodes down somehow because of course you want the drama)
