** Dinah, of all people. One would think that the woman who just lost the man she loves would be the most sympathetic person in the episode. Yet, she constantly chooses killing Laurel over helping save the city, and willingly believes a blatant lie to justify it later on. Also, she attacks Quentin multiple times without remorse, and blames Oliver for Vincent's death. Weirdly, the person who is really to blame for what happened, Cayden James, manages to evade her wrath.
