You do know Oliver has tried to give even Malcolm chances to reform right? He still resented him for killing Tommy but he is also Thea's father, and he has actually saved Oliver quite a few times. And what Malcolm did as terrible as it was honestly not that far removed from what Oliver was doing in the first season. Oliver was killing criminals to clean up the city and Malcolm's aid was to kill all the lowlives in the Glades, but he didn't care if a few innocent people had to die. And again you say Arrow isn't about redemption hello that's one of the series driving plots particuarly with Oliver believing he needs to be redeemed for everything he's done. If he helps Laurel-2 maybe he'll finally come to terms with himself once and for all if he helps someone who he himself could easily become.
