@USer 102030 That's what I was thinking as well. Oliver tries to help Laurel-2 and maybe if they develop an affection it isn't realized until late season 6 then it starts from then and continues on into the following seasons.

@Xandermcc Just because Helena didn't want to reform doesn't mean Laurel-2 won't want to. She is from another world where she loved that Oliver Queen so interacting with this one could make her conflicted enough to at least hear him out. I also don't think Oliver could stand to protect a city where a heroic Laurel dies and the villainous Laurel lives, and he believes helping Laurel-2 reform is the only way to forgive himself for Laurel-1.

BTW Smallville was awesome.
