With Earth-1 Laurel Lance dead, this Earth-2 version is likely to be the only way for the character to continue in The CW's DC-universe (barring flashbacks, anyway).

The good news is that, while a villain, it was an effective take on the character, especially since it found a way of giving her the 'proper' canary cry. She's been locked up at STAR Labs, but is that the last we've seen of her?

She's alive, so the door is open for a return later down the line, and given how big a part of this world Laurel was you'd imagine it's something they'd be willing to consider. She could return as an antagonist, but there's also some slight suggestion that she isn't purely evil and could be turned - maybe we'll get to see Katie Cassidy as Black Canary again after all?
