Why Black Siren Still Deserves Redemption After Killing Vince on 'Arrow'
Black Siren's possible redemption has kept viewers enthralled in her journey throughout Arrow season 6, but the latest episode called into question whether she deserves the effort from Quentin and the rest of Laurel's friends and family to try to redeem her. Even after killing Vince, though, Black Siren still deserves the chance to live a better life and become a hero, just like Oliver Queen and anyone else who has killed on this show.
Following Orders
While Black Siren did follow Cayden's orders and take out Vince, much to Dinah's chagrin, it was obviously clear she did not want to take another life. She killed Vince because a powerful man with the ability to take her out ordered her to do so. But Vince was also responsible for many deaths, too, as he was working for the villains alongside Black Siren, so how is it any different from Oliver Queen killing bad guys?

We don't know what Cayden is holding over Black Siren or why she's part of this team (other than him saving her from the exploding Lian Yu), but we've seen many glimpses to another side of Black Siren proving she's attempting to make her life right and get back on track, maybe even following in the footsteps of her late Earth-1 counterpart. Before crucifying her for following Cayden's orders, we need to know what exactly is being held over her to keep her on the team she doesn't want to be on.

Redemption Is for Everyone on Arrow
It wouldn't make sense for everyone in Star City to give up on Black Siren after one mistake -- even though that mistake was killing a man. First of all, how many of the characters we follow have killed someone for any reason? How many have killed bad guys as vigilantes? Right away, Oliver, Dinah, Thea, Felicity and Diggle are on that list. So why would Black Siren not be granted the same opportunity for redemption as all of them?
Not only the main characters, but villains who have tormented Oliver and his friends/family (and have even killed some of them) have had their chance at redemption and an open space in Oliver's life. Malcolm literally killed his own son in his plan to destroy the Glades, yet was welcomed back eventually as Thea's father and granted access to their lives. Slade killed Oliver's mother, yet Oliver still went out of his way to help Slade with his son during this season.

Black Siren killed Vince, which Dinah is furious and murderous about, but it's not like she killed Thea or Felicity. Vince's death doesn't affect any of them besides Dinah, so why would Thea and Quentin suddenly question Black Siren's potential redemption because of this? There's still hope for her, as we saw from the heartbreaking scene of Quentin showing Black Siren clips of Laurel and how she silently protested against Cayden's plans, and she hasn't done anything worse than Malcolm or Slade. She still deserves a chance to make up for the terrible things she's done, just like Oliver was given.

Well, it looks like what Marc said in interviews last year is coming true and Black Siren is going to become good this season and I remember reading there is going to be an episode which is going to have flashbacks of Black Siren's time on Earth 2 and explain why she become a villain in the first place and by the end of the episode everybody's opinions about her would be changed and she would be seen as a far more sympathetic character and I am not sure what happened to her to make her the way she is but it looks like that episode is going to be the next episode we see with Quinton kidnapping Black Siren and she will tell him her life story. By the way, is it just me or does Quinton kidnapping Black Siren make him look like he has gone insane? He keeps calling her his daughter and Laurel and it is like grief has gotten the best of him and he has become obsessed with Black Siren 'cause she looks like his deceased daughter.
