Well, actually it's "Women in Refrigerators". It's a plot device in which female characters get tortured/killed/depowered for the sole purpose of driving the male superhero's plot.

In Thea's case this is probably what's going to happen- She and Roy fall in love, Roy joins Arrow as his sidekick, they fail to save Thea, Roy calls himself "speedy" in her honor, and now not only does he have his comic book name, but he also gets a tragic backstory to make him angsty. YAY! (Not that angsty Colton is a bad thing....)
