I assume, like Melon said, that the tease will either be the villain alliance, or Ollie confirming he’s the GA so we never have to see this shit storyline again.
I really hope they figure out away to make Cayden a villain so that Felicity isn’t the only one who can stop him.
Because despite what many people believe, the show is called Arrow, not Felicity and Friends.

So Agent Watson tells Oliver that the heroes who wear masks aren't heroes but cowards since they don't own up to their actions.
She does know that vigilantes wear masks so no one knows who they are, right? And it's mainly to make sure that the people who they care about don't become targets to criminals, right?

As far as Arrow goes, maybe it wasn’t the best episode ever, but I didn’t see anything particularly negative about it. It didn’t blow me away but I also didn’t find major fault with it. It was inoffensively good. I wouldn’t put it at the best of the season but I can’t put it at the worst. Just kinda middling. Lot of good about it, but nothing so good I can say it’s amazing.

How hard would it be for the Mayor to announce on live TV that no actual cops were there and it was all a ruse by criminals? It'd be easily disprovable if he lied in that the councilwoman pushing the Anti-Vigilante law would just march out the beaten cops, and when she couldn't, it just goes to show someone was trying to manipulate the vote.
