Yeah, I WANT Shado to be alive and coming back, but she’s a girl, so part of me really expects her to stay dead, and thinks that Sara’s line was the writers flubbing up. (I have a theory, based on what interviews said about Shado and Slade versus what happened, that how and which episode Shado died in was a last minute decision.)

That Felicity has always told Oliver the truth and truths he doesn’t want to admit/acknowledge is one of the reasons that I ship them, and I’m really glad that even though the writers are putting more emphis on that ship, they’re showing that Felicity has a spine of steel.
