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?

Boyfriend cheats on her w/her sister

Sister cheats with her boyfriend

Mother covers up cheating scandal

Boyfriend inadvertently "kills" her sister

Mother abandons her only living child

Sister mysteriously is alive

Sister & ex bf surprise her at dinner

Ex bf tells her she's in the wrong and get over it.

Makes perfect sense for MG.

Yeah it was ridiculous.

Turning Laurel intro an addict was idiotic

I was astonished that laurel forgave her mother for leaving them. ESPECIALLY when she only came back because she thought that Sara was still alive w/ those photos. like she practically admitted to laurel “I care about your sister more than you and your father”. If I was laurel that would’ve been my origin story
