Why would it matter? Thea's fine. It's not something to get emotional over. But Laurel's emotions in that scene weren't about being seen as an equal. It was about Sara, what she's doing and that Oliver kept from her what happened because he doesn't view her as an equal. It was all of that.That scene, and the scene in the Hospital. Like I said in the other Thread, if there was one moment where I would have been ok with Laurel getting all emotional again, it should have been when she saw what happened to Thea. And not being strangely calm like she was. But Thea nearly getting killed by Sara is apparently not that big a deal. A much bigger deal is that Oliver doesn't view her as an equal.
God bless you! God bless your family and everyone else in your life!
