Wasn't she engaged to Tommy before he died? Maybe they get their happy ending
Why would somebody want to be with a guy who was secretly banging their sister (and knocked up another chick too!) while dating them, when they could be with a cute billionaire who was totally devoted to them and wasn't super emo and damaged?
She wasn't in love with Tommy, she was settling with Tommy. She wouldn't move on with him because she kept seeing hope with Oliver. You can't control who you are in love with. A life with Oliver would be toxic if he didn't change, which most people don't, but he did. He treated her like crap because he was trying to push her away towards Tommy because he wanted them to be happy but they never would have been because she would be settling and he knows she is in love with Oliver -

We are going to have to agree to disagree about Tommy. I am of the opinion that Laurel was actually in love with Tommy and didn't realize that he was the one until it was too late. She outright said she regrettted sleeping with Oliver and Tommy is the one who ditched her. Her decent into alcoholism was a direct result of losing him, and I don't think it was just guilt, I think she really missed him.
Laurel's feelings for Oliver were very conflicted (for obv reasons) and she had a lot of unresolved issues regarding how she felt about him, and I think that confused her. But, she didn't really know new Oliver at all. And he didn't know new her. And they were toxic five years earlier even when they were supposed to be this great couple. He was a really bad boyfriend.
I think what they felt was genuine affection and the ghost of the love they used to feel way back when, but not an active love. I think he wanted to cling to some scrap of who he used to be through her and she wanted a redux because she regretted the way things ended.
But, she seemed WAY happier with Tommy, no? They had great wall sex and liked to do the same things and wanted the same kind of lifestyle. And they were supportive of each other, he 'got' her and had an adult relationship, which is not something Laurel ever had with Oliver bc he wasn't capable until very recently.
I think lust and love are easy to confuse, especially when there's a lot of intensity, but I really don't think Laurel's love for Oliver was more than her love for Tommy, and I was kind of annoyed by the whole death bed speech Laurel gave, because it was so out of nowhere and made it look like she was secretly pining for him, when they didn't show that at all. -

Is this from
Arrow
or
Legends of Tomorrow
?
I hope it's Tommy she's marrying. I know they can't get Colin back because he's contracted to
Chicago Med
, so it would be nice to have a little reference to him. Besides, isn't Oliver dead on Earth 2? It would be interesting if Laurel and Tommy, who are both dead on Earth 1, actually have a happily ever after in an alternate universe.
Also, it's probably just the photo, but Sara looks about ready to straight-up murder her sister!
Little people? Who decides they are so unimportant? -

That's one of the things telling the husband is Oliver. We won't be seeing Tommy this episode, but we'll be seeing Moira and Robert, and they were filming in the Queen's mansion.
My bet is that this is an alternate reality where Oliver didn't have the accident in the boat and didn't spend "five years in hell". A few years later, back in Star City, he and Laurel get married and, of course, Sara is not amused. I don't know if Oliver will have cheated on Laurel with Sara or not, but either way, judging by the picture, Sara won't be happy for Laurel. -

That's what I posted too. I want Laurel and Tommy to be happy somewhere on some alt earth or in another timeline. They were always a way better couple than Laurel x Oliver. I will never understand why Laurel fans would ever want Lauriver together. Maybe in the comic, but on the show, the whole past affair overlap thing with Sara/Laurel/Oliver/Oliver's baby mama was so toxic and gross I just wanted Laurel to run. Olivers fine now, but a relationship can't come back from that. It's amazing they could even be friends.

I mean, I'm kind of lukewarm on Olicity. I'm not invested either way. I don't have hate goggles on for Felicity (I recognize she's annoying, but I don't actually see what people are talking about when they say she's a bad person), so it wouldn't bother me if they ended up together if that's what made them both happy. I do think the writers are lazy as hell for stretching it out bc they can't figure out how to write a happy couple.
That said, the Oliver that Felicity got is not the one Laurel got. If Laurel didn't have that disgusting history with Oliver I might have shipped them, but I couldn't stomach it bc what he did in the past was so gross I just couldn't get over it. And it wasn't even in the past - he was literally still dating her sister once he got back! Like - why did that need to happen and why would either of them have though it was a kind thing to do, regardless of what Laurel said? I like Sara, but she's kind of a terrible sister.
I wanted Laurel with Tommy and I could've gotten on board with Nyssa x Laurel, after Sara 'died'. -

I do think it is an Oliver and Laurel wedding, probably from Earth-2
If you look close enough in the BTS photo by Stephen Amell (see link) which he took with Katie, you can see the wedding dress under the bathrobe Katie is wearing. I would say, they've put a green jumper over Stephen's tux.

I really don't think this is an Earth-2 thing, but it's pretty clear by now that we'll be seeing them getting married. Marc also said that this episode will be like it came straight from the comic books, and that it will be more like an episode of a comic book than of a tv show, whatever that's supposed to mean. I think this will have to do with the whole alien thing, Oliver will probably be hallucinating or something and he'll see what his life could have been or something of the sort. I mean, there's a lot they could do. Oliver could be somehow watching it, or he could be living it, completely conscious that this isn't his reality but torn between staying in it or waking up, but I really don't think they'd waste time with e-2 flashbacks.
Like I said before, I'm afraid this whole thing will mess with Lauriver even more, but I'm confident it will have nothing to do with Felicity/Olicity (at least not directly). -

It could be some kind of vision/hallucination/augmented reality Oliver is subjected to.
I've always been curious about the idea of them doing an 'Arrow' version of the old Batman cartoon episode 'Perchance to Dream' - Oliver finding himself in a reality where he never went on the yacht, never became the Arrow, and how his life would have been in such a world.
Alternatively, E2 Laurel AKA Black Siren could be introduced in this episode, and this might be a flashback to her backstory.
My guess is that on E2, perhaps Laurel did plan an early marriage with Oliver. But then Oliver ran off with Sara on the yacht and they both died. The dual deaths/betrayal psychologically damaged Laurel and set her down the dark path that culminated in her being a metahuman terrorist working for Zoom.
