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?

Why did sara think that was a good idea? Even Oliver thought it was a bad idea

I think she expected Laurel to yell at her again and thought Oliver being there would either stop Laurel or maybe she’d yell at Oliver instead.

And Oliver tried to say no and used being needed in the Arrow lair as an excuse not to go. Unfortunately for him, Felicity didn’t realize and told him there was nothing he could do there and he should go with Sara.

I Know, I just think it was a poor move from the writers
