I'm, at this point, certain he loves and wants to protect his son. This was shown multiple times in both episodes as well as the end of "Honor Thy Father". Also, she had her kidnapped to find out if Robert Queen told him anything about a certain, unspecified topic. Who knows, she may have become affiliated with the people due to just sabotage (as portrayed in episode 2) or something bigger, without being fully aware of their capabilities.....whoever she's affiliated with.
