They're pretty much done with establishing Prometheus as a threat (though I'd like more talk on his shaky motives, why care so much for a dad that never even adopted him?) AND also showing the limits of his power. Frankly, Oliver and Co. could have taken him done in this ep already, except we needed to send Dig away and allow Talia to win.

Really, with how effective Felicity and Helix are at finding people, I don't think it would have been much of a problem to kill Simon right in that parking lot. Though one could argue that in this scenario Talia would have killed Susan in Simon's stead.

Simon Morrison. Simon Hurt and Prometheus, both created by Morrison.

So he is a composite character of: 1) Adrian Chase (who's also decomposite with the Vigilante as a separate guy) 2) Prometheus 3) Simon Hurt Yeah, now that Susan is safe and all the only thing keeping Simon from being exposed is his having Oliver captive. On the other hand, if Prometheus is taken down, no one but Oliver and maybe Curtis has any idea that Talia even exists so she could very easily continue Simon's vengeance. I wonder if during Oliver's torturing next week they'll find a way to have him say "Simon" and "hurt" consecutively lol Oliver: This hurts Simon!
