* BaseBreakingCharacter: Sara Lance. Some readers openly resent Sara for betraying Laurel again and letting Dinah trade her sister to the League for her freedom, and for her inability to accept fault for it from anyone except her sister and herself. Others sympathize with her, as the story makes it very clear that she only went along with it because Dinah convinced her to through using her trauma, and that she regretted it immediately after the decision was done and has been a wreck ever since. Notably, the narrative seems to agree with ''both'' sides of the argument -- while the narrative doesn't absolve Sara of the guilt of betraying Laurel twice, it openly acknowledges that the second betrayal was a complex situation that ended up destroying Sara as much as it did Laurel, and that the bulk of the blame lies with Dinah.

** Dinah Lance goes over the horizon twofold in the same incident. First, by trading Laurel to the League of Assassins for Sara's freedom, justifying it via BlamingTheVictim. Second, by bullying Sara into going along with it via manipulating Sara through her trauma, then leaving her to live with the guilt after her youngest daughter finally comprehended what happened. Everyone who finds out about her actions find them openly appalling, with Oliver even tempted to visit her as the Hood solely because of this.

** Ra's is already an unredeemable monster at the start of the flashbacks, but he sinks to a new low when he allows Dinah to trade Laurel for Sara's freedom, and then forces Laurel to comply and become a full-fledged assassin by holding ''her entire city'' hostage. Nyssa is so disgusted by his decision, she outright pledges to give Laurel her freedom the moment she succeeds her father as Ra's.
