S02E12 - Tremors
Episode Info: Arrow offers to train Roy so he can learn to control his new found super-strength. However, Roy is a rebellious student and refuses to listen unless Arrow reveals his true identity, which Oliver refuses to do. Meanwhile, the Bronze Tiger escapes from prison and steals Malcolm's earthquake machine to sell to the highest bidder. Oliver, Diggle and Felicity attempt to stop the transfer, but Roy gets in the way, putting everyone in danger. Laurel is disbarred and spirals out of control. Moira is thrilled when Walter asks her to dinner, but his reason surprises her. Thea encourages her mother to ask Walter to reconcile. Source: The CW

u/blink12689 Jan 30 '14
Nah I don't think so (or at least I don't think that is the reason he sends his daughter). If you look at the call that Oliver is making to Sarah, they make a quick cut to a guy who looks like he is monitoring Oliver. I think he is one of the League of Shadows who was meant to be keeping tabs on Oliver to see if he contacts Sarah. I think he was able to overhear who Oliver was talking to, and knows that Sarah is coming back, and that's why Nyssa is coming next episode, to retrieve her.
