I liked seeing Laurel in court but it was unfortunately too obvious that she chose the wrong case to prosecute Darhk. She picked the one where the kidnap victim and his mother had both disappeared and there was no one to testify that Darhk was the kidnapper, instead of the one where he kidnapped Diggle, Thea and Felicity from the holiday party in front of a ton of witnesses, and where the three of them could easily testify to it. It also made no sense to dismiss the testimony of Diggle, a war hero with four tours of duty as a witness and take the word of a drug dealer who said he bought a ridiculous amount of drugs.
While not as cray-cray as Carrie, Oliver still has a lot of PTSD to content with. But he's not a candidate for talk therapy with a therapist, he would just clam up and then stop going. The established best treatment for someone like him would be taking to someone who has gone through the same experience (e.g. Diggle or Sara) and various exposures where's he's forced to learn new ways to function or sink.
As good as Paul Blackthorne was in those scenes, the machinations to get Quentin on the stand were ridiculous.
Felicity was the one who wanted to stay with the team when Oliver went off after season 3 to find himself so it makes sense that she would want to continue working with them. Yeah, she was snippy but she was still working with them, unlike Diggle who refused to work with Oliver at the start of this season.
The problem was that Oliver tried to manipulate her into getting back with him. He didn't tell the others that she had broken up with him, wouldn't cancel the venue (that she's presumably paying for since he doesn't have a job) and jumped on the idea of the fake wedding so that he could tell her his real vows (and failed to tell her that she would have to come up with some too).
When he assumed after her speech to Cupid that they would be getting back together now, Felicity realized that they couldn't work together on the team because he wasn't accepting that they were through.
