OnArrowthis week, nearly every major decision either implicitly or explicitly involved fathers.
That doesnt stop a little brotherly love from entering the picture, though.
At first, the team thinks Ollie should kill Merlyn, but instead he wants to broker peace.

But the deal is almost botched from the start.
But the bloodshed has begun, filling the streets of Star with the bodies of out-of-place assassins.
Again, Olivers teammates, this time Diggle, want him to kill Malcolm.
Again, Oliver says he wouldnt just accept this choice as an either/or, the kingdom or the family.
He would look for a third option, and he does so in a trial by combat.
Olivers crazy scheming doesnt stop there, though.
As her husband, he can step into the trial, fighting in her stead.
NEXT: Can Felicity trust her father?
He demands Malcolm give up the Ras name, but he will only do so if Oliver kills him.
Everyone agrees: Oliver must do it.
But the Queens arent the only ones embroiled in daddy issues.
Felicity is contending with the arrival of her father, who quickly cuts to the chase.
Felicity attempts to leave, but he promises hes there to make good.
Felicity decides to test him after verifying he is the man he claims to be.
He may still be the terrible man her mother warned her about.
So she calls the cops in on her father, a choice that clearly tested Felicity.
However, this surely is not the end of her renewed relationship with Papa Smoak.
The Baron has other plans in mind, though.
Specifically, he plans to dig for the heaven that he believes awaits him.
