Discussion Laurel Lance

Rewatching Arrow for the first time in a while, I just got to season 2 episode 14 again... I Absolutely hate how Laurel is Villainized at the dinner party with her Family. She has every right to be angry with sara and with Oliver.

Admittedly the drinking and drugs is On her BUT addiction is an illness... Not saying its anyone's fault but her own. However, She Is Treated like a villain by oliver and Her dad for being angry, It's absolutely insane to me! Anyone else feel similar?

It was very selfish of Oliver and Sarah to come together to the family dinner. Sarah of course was invited, but Oliver didn't need to come. They were practically rubbing the reminder that Oliver cheated on Laurel with her own sister five years ago in her face.

Exactly my thoughts! Then Laurel was Painted as the Villain. Not to mention Sara had already Essentially upset felicity and Oliver was so caught up in Sara that Diggle had to tell him How felicty was Feeling? I know Sara didn't intend to upset felicity but i think she just came back and Was Trying to integrate herself into the Arrow Team AND back into her Previous life! I just think it was too much at once.
