Katie Cassidy is back as Earth-2 Laurel Lance a.k.a. Black Siren and we’ll see a lot of her which I’m excited for. I have enjoyed her villainous journey so far and look forward to more.

But something that we haven’t seen a lot of in the Arrowverse in general is villains being redeemed. Laurel of Earth-2 wasn’t born evil as she went down a dark path after she lost her Oliver Queen and after she got her powers.

I love seeing Cassidy in heroic and villainous roles because she kicks ass with both types. Seeing a Laurel from another universe getting a redemption arc would make Arrow stand out from the other DC shows.

Arrow may not deal with the fantastical or time traveling elements that Supergirl, Legends and Flash do. But redeeming a villain who looks like one of their fallen heroes would make Arrow unique on that front.

It would even be empowering if Dinah Drake was part of saving Laurel, not just Oliver. In the comics Dinah Drake is actually Dinah Laurel Lance’s mother. So while I don’t expect a mother-daughter dynamic, I would love to see the one Canary try to save another one.
