Oliver Queen's Mayoral Campaign Posters Revealed

In the clip she looks a bit unhinged, also saying that she doesn't think she is ready to come back to work just yet. Despite that, she is bothered by a call asking her to help with some coding work and she is seen not being able to figure things out, being thrown by all the data, and feeling the pressure.

Toward the end of the clip she is seen telling Oliver (Stephen Amell) something rather devastating: "I can no longer be a part of the team."

Showrunner Teases 'Real Game-Changer' In Upcoming Episode

We don't know what repercussions this will have not only on the team but also on her and Oliver's realtionship.

In fact in a recent interview with TVLine, Arrow's executive producer Wendy Mericle strongly hinted at troubled waters for the couple. In fact, TVLine also interpreted and solved the riddle posed to fans by Mericle; while there is no confirmation if they are right in their assessment, it seems a likely possibility. The publication cited a limo ride the two shared from the funeral in the midseason premiere, "Blood Debts," and what a small detail for the keen observer could imply.

"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," Mericle said. "It's in the scene, and it's a visual clue."

The next episode, titled "A.W.O.L," will air on January 27 on The CW.
