This had been previously suggested as well, as reports suggested that Palmer might very well be Felicity's new love interest on the CW show. But it is well known that Oliver (Stephen Amell) will be more forthcoming about his feelings toward Felicity. Seems like Palmer will be giving Oliver plenty grief as the tech-powered superhero will also be bidding for ownership for Queen Consolidated.

Amell also gave E!Online a spoiler in this relation, revealing that Palmer will gain power in the board room.

"We both bid for Queen Consolidated in the season premiere," Amell said. "Spoiler alert: He gets it."

Here's the official synopsis for episode 2:

"Lance (Paul Blackthorne) calls the Arrow (Stephen Amell) when another archer appears in town and starts skewering businessmen. Diggle (David Ramsey) uses A.R.G.U.S. to find the archer's identity; he is a man named Simon Lacroix (guest star Matt Ward), who goes by the codename Komodo. However, the team hits a rough patch with the mission and gets help from a surprising source - Laurel (Katie Cassidy). Meanwhile, Oliver begins to worry that he hasn't heard from Thea (Willa Holland), which forces Roy (Colton Haynes) to tell him the truth about why she left town.  Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh) pursues Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards). In the flashback, Maseo (guest star Karl Yune) tells Oliver that Amanda Waller has ordered his first kill. As Oliver looks down the scope of the rifle, he sees the target is his best friend, Tommy (guest star Colin Donnell).  Despite her promise to her sister, Laurel debates sharing a secret about Sara (Caity Lotz) with Lance. Wendey Stanzler directed the episode written by Jake Coburn & Keto Shimizu (#302)."

The finale of season 2 of Arrow aired on May 14 on the CW. Season 3 premieres on October 8 on The CW.
