'Arrow' Season 4 Spoilers: Felicity Is Alive, But Is Their Engagement Over?
"Arrow" fans breathed a collective sigh of relief on Wednesday night upon finding out that Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards) is still alive. The midseason premiere of "Arrow" Season 4 aired on Wednesday with "Blood Debts," and in it, viewers discovered that Oliver Queen's/Green Arrow's (Stephen Amell) fiancee, who was shot by Damien Darhk's (Neal McDonough) minions in the midseason finale of "Arrow," was not the person in the Mystery Grave seen in the teaser trailer for Season 4B.
The back half of the fourth season, which picked up four months from the fall finale, shows Felicity alive but paralyzed. But though Felicity survived the shooting, did her relationship with Oliver make it through as well?
Those who watched "Blood Debts" may have noticed some tension between Felicity and Oliver in the scene where they are sitting beside each other in a limo. "I definitely think there is some tension and we're actually very intrigued to see if fans pick up on a very big clue about where they are at that point in their relationship," "Arrow" executive producer Wendy Mericle told TVLine. "It's in the scene, and it's a visual clue."

As TVLine points out, there is a blatantly obvious visual clue in the said scene: the fact that Felicity is not wearing her engagement ring.
Does this mean that things between Felicity and Oliver aren't going so well? What does this potential relationship trouble mean for Green Arrow in Season 4B?
"He's also going to be focused on helping Felicity," the "Arrow" boss said. She added: "I mean, that relationship is key to him, it is key to his character this season, so he's going to be there for her. He learned his lesson after 410."
The next episode of "Arrow," "A.W.O.L.," airs Wednesday, Jan. 27, at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.
