I don't think he would have been able to respond to a male stalker the same way.

Jealousy like that often doesn't make sense, so I'm okay with the writers going that direction.

To show how truly cold Waller is, that she'll make your first assassination target your best friend.

Most of those similarities don't matter though. Also, she has other friends.

Even if he's not Pied Piper, he could be Discord, or any of the other sound villains I can't remember at the moment.

I've really liked all the banter between Bobbi and her ex. It's funny, and they've done a good job of showing that they care for each other, yet explaining their (quite reasonable) reasons why it didn't work before.

When Tripp was shot this week, my reaction was "They better not be removing him to bring Ward back, especially not like that"

Good point, but killing people who arguably deserve it, and killing a cop just trying to do his job just isn't the same

1. She's canon
2. Not all of the women are crazy
3. Women aren't the only crazies (see Deathstroke, Brother Blood, Count Vertigo, etc)

I didn't see this notification until after I tried to sign in and it wouldn't let me. I may have changed my password (but I'm not sure, since it didn't send me the confirmation email either)…

Isn't that pure speculation? Couldn't anyone make the same guess?

I'm not interested in Olicity, but Ray is super creepo at times.

If they play up that angle, it could go a long way to fixing things.

Yeah, but there's a mystery to solve here. Plus, everything was going crazy then, with the whole Brother Blood/Deathstroke story ramping up. This episode, nothing particularly major happened.

Yeah, there was. I seem to even vaguely remember him having long blond hair, but I could be remembering wrong.

I'm not seeing the Laurel thing at all. Laurel has a more angular face, they have different hair styles, and Iris wears a lot more casual clothes.

Either that, or he mysteriously disappears, never to be heard from again…

I agree. I also think that she can see past the creepy stuff, and knows he's genuinely a good person who just has some boundary issues.

On the other hand, maybe this is all a setup so she runs Queen Consolidated? Ray goes and does his own thing, she's been the #2 and proves that unlike Oli, she can handle the job.

Hasn't Oli been single for almost this entire season so far? Of course, it's the whole "tortured/love triangle single", but he's single.
