Oliver's life might be peaceful now that he's with Felicity, but Damien Darhk is doing what he can to disrupt it.

Oliver is watching over the festivities, apparently to clean up Starling Bay, as promised. No doubt he will be poking at the hornet's nest called Damien Darhk!

Laurel and Felicity are sharing stories with the children of Star City. Maybe they're talking about the history of the city.

3. Under Attack - Arrow Season 4 Episode 9

The city is under attack again! One minute it was story telling time and the next everyone was running for cover. Oliver is going to be very angry.

4. Always Protecting - Arrow Season 4 Episode 9

Laurel always thinks of the children, this time taking one with her and protecting her during what appears to be a HIVE attack, or an attack of the "ghosts" controlled by Damien Darhk.

5. On the Move - Arrow Season 4 Episode 9

Oliver is on the move, ready to act to protect his people. This is his project. He threw down the gauntlet, wanting to fight in the open. This is the response.

6. Fielding Questions - Arrow Season 4 Episode 9

Mayoral Candidate Oliver Queen has to field questions from the press about what's next. He promised to fight in the light. Is this how it will always be?

7. Overwhelmed - Arrow Season 4 Episode 9

How often do we see Oliver Queen overwhelmed? Not very often. But when you're doing good for your city and your biggest enemy chooses then to attack, all bets are off.

8. Pensive Thea - Arrow Season 4 Episode 9

Thea is pensive as she and Laurel stand in the wake of the horrible attack upon the city at Starling Bay. What will they do? What will Oliver to do in his bold move against HIVE?

9. Unamused - Arrow Season 4 Episode 9

Laurel isn't amused about what's happening with HIVE either. How many attacks will it take before one side gives in? How far can two teams stretch the city?

10. Behind Cover - Arrow Season 4 Episode 9

Diggle is on hand to help provide cover once the Bay is under attack. How many will be harmed? How far will Damien Darhk take it to provoke Oliver Queen?

Again, it's our guess this is Curtis and his husband speaking with Felicity at the holiday party. Things are going to go awry, but how far?

15. Flying Solo - Arrow Season 4 Episode 9

Is Diggle flying solo tonight? Where is his lovely wife Lyla? Although they're married, they don't spend nearly enough on screen time together, agree?

Felicity is smiling cheerfully at the party. How long before the terror hits is this moment? What will be the last happy time she has?

Oliver and Felicity getting in some couple time, some happy time, during the party. It doesn't look like they are in the least bit expecting any trouble at the party.

18. All This?! - Arrow Season 4 Episode 9

Damien seems to be taunting Oliver here, doesn't he? We'll have to wait to see what he has to say, but it's not going to be anything good. After all, it's the midseason finale!!
