Laurel was standing in shock, she hadn't seen her mom in a year, and suddenly she was right in front of her. "What are you doing here?" Laurel asked.

"I can't just come to visit my family?" She asks.

"You haven't visited any of us in a year," Laurel said.

"I know, I'm sorry" Dinah sighed, "I had a plan originally, do some stuff on my own, visit you, girls, maybe take us on a weekend away, but I got sidetracked and now I have something, something that can help your father"

"Help dad do what exactly?" Sara asked.

"Move up in ranks, become a top player in the mob," Dinah said.

"Well, Laurel has that covered" Veronica crossed her arms. Dinah looked at Laurel confused.

"I'm engaged to Malcolm and Slade, mom" Laurel said.

"Guess that means your my new grandma" Tommy said. Laurel threw her hand back and slapped his chest.

"You're marrying the kings of Merlyn?" Dinah asked, looking at her other two daughters for confirmation.

"They asked me 2 nights ago," Laurel said.

"Oh" Dinah was taken back, "Can I talk to them?"

"They should be done with Reale by the time we get down there," Frost said.

"Let's go then," Laurel said. The Lance woman got into the elevator, Frost and Tommy right behind them.

"Where's Oliver and Thea?" Dinah asked.

"Oliver got married, he's on his honeymoon," Tommy said, "Thea is... wait..."

"She said she was going to grab some food from the kitchen," Veronica said, "She's only been down there for a few minutes"

"Guess we're making a small detour then," Laurel said. The elevator door opened and they began making their way to the kitchen, Thea was in there reading a cake magazine. "Thea"

"Huh?" She looked up, "Oh, hey, I was just looking at cake ideas"

"That's great, but we all need to go talk with your father and Slade," Laurel said. Thea began following.

"What's wro- Mrs. Lance?" Thea asked.

"Hello, Thea" Dinah smiled. "Are you helping Laurel plan the wedding?"

"Uh, yea," Thea said, still taken back. They made their way down the hall to Malcolm's office, passing by a few guys carrying a bloody Reale.

"Bitch" He whispered. Everyone stopped, Laurel took the guy by the collar.

"My fiance's were the good cops in this situation, you really want to meet the bad cop?" Laurel tilted her head. The guy tried to keep his straight face as he shook his head. "Get him out of my sight"

The 2 men took his arm and dragged him away, the others in the hallway just went back to their business while Laurel continued down the hall to Malcolm's office. She opened the doors, Slade was cleaning his knuckles while Malcolm was going over some of the same papers Laurel had gone over earlier.

"Hello," Laurel said, they both looked up and smiled.

"Reale gave us all the information he had" Malcolm smirked.

"Good" Laurel smiled, She quickly kissed Slade before going over and kissing Malcolm and standing next to him, "You guys remember my mom"

"Dinah" Malcolm straightened up. "It's good to see you again"

"Good to see you as well, Malcolm, Slade" Dinah smiled, "I wanted to talk to you about information"

"Information?" Slade asked.

"Yes," Dinah said, "I got information while I was on sabbatical"

"Oh," Malcolm said, he looked at Tommy and Frost who ushered Veronica, Sara, and Thea out. "We're listening"

"The Darhks have an ally, one of your greatest enemies," She says.

"Who?" Laurel asked.

"Max Lord," Dinah said.

"Max Lord? We're allies with him through marriage now" Malcolm said, "Laurel, call Alex and get answers for us"

Laurel grabbed the phone Malcolm used to call other mobs and stepping into Slade's room, calling Alex. "Danvers" Alex answered.

"We need to talk about your allies in Monument" Laurel stated.

"What about them?" Alex asked.

"Apparently, Max Lord as aligned himself with the Darhks" I said.

"What!? No, I pulled them out of the ditch they would never do this" Alex said, "Unless..."

"Unless what?" I asked.

"Lena's kids, their not biologically his," Alex said, "Plus being hung up on Lucy"

"Terrific" I sighed, Slade came in, "If you find out something else, tell us immediately, thanks"

"What is it?" Slade asked as Malcolm came in.

"Max's kids are biologically James' and he is still hung up on Lucy" I stated, "He's betraying the Danvers"

"Which means he's betraying us twice over," Malcolm said.

"We can't react until we have concrete proof, or else the Diggles well cut contact, we'll lose half our allies," Slade said.

"I can get the proof," I said.

"How?" Malcolm asked.

"That's for me to know, and you to wonder" Laurel smirked, "I should go spend time with my mother, she'll want to help with wedding details"

Laurel kissed both of their cheeks before walking out. Malcolm looked at Slade and sighed, "We sure did pick a good one"
