"Arrow" Season 5 Episode 4 could find Oliver Queen going up against some unusual opponents: his new recruits. It certainly looks like Team Arrow has to iron out their differences in "Penance".
But will John Diggle and Lyla Michaels also come across a heartbreaking discovery? Will Digs and Lyla finally learn about the daughter they had before "Flashpoint" happened in "Arrow" Season 5 Episode 4?
Oliver Queen Takes On New Team Arrow Recruits In 'Arrow' Season 5 Episode 4
It looks like Oliver Queen needs to get used to having allies who are just as hard-headed as he is. The promo for "Arrow" Season 5 Episode 4 opens with Oliver announcing that Team Arrow is going to get John Diggle out of prison. However, the new recruits aren't having any of it, insisting that they will not let him do so. It certainly looks like Team Arrow could be in major trouble with each other in "Penance".
Unfortunately, the Team Arrow disagreement is not the only thing that will make things more difficult for Oliver Queen. "Arrow" Season 5 Episode 4 will show the dark side of Chad L. Coleman's villain, and it looks like the newbies might be the ones who have to take him on.
"When Tobias Church launches a deadly assault against the city, Felicity must decide if she wants to send the recruits out sans the Green Arrow," an excerpt of the "Arrow" Season 5 Episode 4 "Penance" synopsis reads. In addition to that, John Diggle and Lyla Michaels might finally realize they had a daughter before "Flashpoint" happened (thanks a lot, Barry Allen).

The consequences of Barry Allen's actions in "The Flash" Season 2 finale have also affected the characters in "Arrow" Season 5 Episode 4, especially because John Diggle and Lyla Michaels now have a little boy. However, it is possible that the couple will find out that they actually had a daughter before "Flashpoint".
Executive producer Marc Guggenheim teased on the possibility that the discovery will happen soon, saying that "there is no secret that doesn't eventually get discovered" (via Collider). "Arrow" Season 5 Episode 4 ("Penance") will air on The CW on October 26.
