Arrow Ep. 2.04 “Crucible” gives some much-needed texture to the Lance family
In season one, the Lance family was a drag. Laurel and Quentin fighting all the time, Quentin drinking and lamenting his broken life, Laurel crying a lot over it while she ran back and forth between Ollie and Tommy… it really was just a mess, although the show quickly found a way to make Quentin useful as a semi-antagonist to the Hood. “Crucible” does a lot to help change these circumstances, making most of the Lance family a lot more interesting than they once were – except for Laurel of course, who continues to suffer from being the most frustrating character in the Arrow world.
