Arrow Season 4: 10 Questions We're Asking After Restoration

10. Why Does Laurel Want To Bring Sara Back Now?

Had Laurel done something crazy to try and bring Sara back in the first half of Season 3, then it would've made a lot of sense. That Laurel was in a dark place, consumed with grief, and her digging up her sister's corpse would've been an understandable decision (although still a totally gross one). However, the rest of her arc last year revolved around her moving on. She accepted that Sara had been killed, and was honouring her memory by becoming the Black Canary. There was some solid development on that front, and a lot of time and some emotional moments given over to it. The Laurel we've seen recently isn't crazed or desperate with grief, but her actions here suggest otherwise. As if digging up the body wasn't bad enough, she persists with throwing her into the Pit even when Nyssa and Malcolm Merlyn advise her not to. And when Malcolm Merlyn says something's a bad idea, you know it must be. Laurel has often been a problem character for the show, and it's made her so again here, purely because they need to bring her sister back for Legends of Tomorrow (which, y'know, yay and stuff, but it's still a weird move on Laurel's part).
