Oliver has a habit of letting his emotions get clouded when it comes to family and while E2-Laurel isn't the woman he loved he believes there must be some level of his Laurel's heart within her and yes she may have killed a lot of people but Oliver has killed a lot of criminals too. Not like they didn't deserve it but he still has a lot of blood on his hands so I could see him trying to sympathize with her in regards to this. While Felicity won't die in 6x01 I'm hoping these wedding teases are secretly because she's gonna die later instead and I could see Oliver realizing that E2-Laurel could be his second chance as he lost Laurel while spending years trying to be with Felicity which got him nowhere. As for E2-Laurel herself I don't expect her to redeem in 5x10 as she only just met E1-Oliver and has probably been a criminal so long she doesn't know how to be anything else. But I think if she continually interacts with Oliver this season if she plays some kinda anti-hero role it might make her unintentionally grow fonder of him so she has a reason to want to reform.
