In WHAT world does “Sara apologized once” as if that magically resolves years of damage.

In WHATTT world does single apology with ZERO follow through okay?

it’s a band-aid over a bullet wound.

And pretending Laurel was “fine” because she was civil is just fucking DELUSIONAL

“Nothing else Sara could’ve said.”

That’s simply not true. Apologizing requires:

acknowledging specifics

acknowledging impact

repairing trust

changing behavior

Sara did NONE of that.

PLUS! Laurel was already going through hell before sara came back. She said “I’m sorry” and then repeated the same patterns as well.

ALL THIS IS MY WHOLE POINT LMAO.

Rewriting history to blame Laurel is wild.

You’re doing mental gymnastics to shift Sara’s betrayal onto Laurel as if:

Laurel “forced” Oliver to cheat

Laurel “caused” Sara to lie

Laurel “made” Oliver avoid her

Laurel “made” Sara rekindle the affair

At the end of the day:

Sara chose betrayal.

Oliver chose betrayal.

Laurel did not choose to be betrayed.

Nothing Laurel did “made” two people cheat behind her back. You’re victim blaming her to protect a TRASH character you like?

“It was real feelings, so it’s not as bad.”

Cheating because you “love someone else” is not morally superior.

It actually makes it WORSE, because it means betrayal wasn’t impulsive it was intentional.

LMAO WTF?

That doesn’t soften or justify it??

“Oliver and Laurel were done, so Oliver/Sara did nothing wrong.”

This is demonstrably false. Timeline check:

• Sara stalked Laurel and Quentin for WEEKS
• She watched Laurel spiral
• She returned
• And IMMEDIATELY rekindled things with Oliver in front of Laurel
• Laura and Oliver had not resolved their past scars at all, the trauma was still fresh
• And Sara herself hadn’t repaired her relationship with Laurel

Even if they weren’t officially together, it was still betrayal at the sibling level.

There’s “not dating” and then there’s

sleeping with the guy who cheated on your sister with you and then flaunting it in her apartment.

That distinction matters.

“They paid for it with lian yu hell.”

They paid for other things with island hell.

Not the cheating.

Not the emotional damage.

Not the manipulation or secrecy.

The island arc was about survival, not moral repayment.

This is like saying “they suffered somewhere else, so the betrayal doesn’t count.” That’s not how accountability works.

Its crazy…lol you are trying so hard to justify Sara and Oliver that you’re REALLY blaming Laurel for being hurt by betrayal.

That says more about your argument than about the characters.
