The vigilantes can't testify. Someone other than them had to say where William was found. Which just brings it down to a word between an 8 year old and a billionaire, and frankly if the kid could pin this kidnapping on any billionaire it should be Trump.
Is William even going to be around to testify? That video message from Oliver certainly sounded like William was going into hiding with his Mother
Is anybody else concerned that Thea hasn't told the group that Merlyn is responsible for revealing William to Dahrk?
Nah, I'm not concerned. Characters keeping secrets from each has always worked out for the best on this show, hasn't it? 
William doesn't need to testify, because Darhk is in a cell on Lian Yu, trying to tap into the massive well of super natural energy under the island until his power level approachs that of Magneto.
(Using Submarines as flyswatters.)
It wasn't the best time to lay that on Oliver. If she's still keeping quiet beyond the next episode, then it will be troubling.
But she knew it since the last episode. It was information that Team Arrow might have been able to use.
She didn't know that, though.
And now everybody knows that, so I don't see the problem.
I'm probably not remembering clearly. I should probably go back and review that episode.
Besides, they probably guessed. Or should have, except the show keeps making them retards because of the magnificence of John Barrowman's trouser sausage.
"Oh, that guy who's always doing evil shit and betraying us? Yeah, he just did some evil shit and betrayed us. Who'd have thunk?"
"Yeah, I kinda figured that. I'll hate him for a few episodes, then team up to fight a common enemy. Then he'll hang around like he's part of the team for awhile before he betrays us again. It's a Team Arrow Trope(c)."
So let me get this straight. Samantha said she went upstairs and her son was gone. And Darhk said William believed he was friends with his mother. So how exactly did this work? Malcolm got into the house, through the window, from the roof, with only one hand, and told the kid to come with him? And he did so willingly?
Usually you do that at school, telling them their mother sends you. But in their own home? And it did not occur to him once to ask his mother if this man was right? Or scream for help?
And if Malcolm took him by force it does not add up either as in the last scene of the last episode William did not seem scared at all, and then the charade of Darhk being friends with his mother is not necessary at all, just put him into a cage and be done with it.
It's just that I can't picture the whole scene - which is probably why they didn't show it.

Did we ever find out what Malcolm was doing with the remains of Vandal Savage, anyways? I hope its not a dropped plot point.
Which became entirely unnecessary after we found out that it has to be Kendra with the special knife, or it's not a true death.
I just finished re-watching Season 2. My distant memory of the show was that I didn't like it until S3, but wow the ending of S2 was amazing! It was like a four episode long disaster of the city falling apart under the siege of an army of super powered soldiers, and they brought in all the characters together to fight it off... that was great stuff!
I agree. I gave up 2/3 through season one because Ollie was basically the Punisher with a bow and the show seemed to fit into DCs "grim-dark" approach to adapting super-heroes to the screen, which I find tiresome. With the debut of The Flash however, I went back and finished S1 and haven't looked back.
