but if she was coming back why would she make that dramatic speech about being a killer and needing to go away? that doesnt exactly resonate as someone whos just going to get help and will be right back. looked like she was riding off into the distance

My biggest problem with the theory that she has left and isn't planning on coming back is that she knows how much danger Slade poses for everyone she cares about. She knows Oliver can't fight him alone. That's been made evident by there many conversations about Slade this season. So why would she just up and leave knowing that Slade could possibly be targeting everyone she cares about including Laural?

Also I think her words to Sin about needing to go find someone kind of leads me to think she has decided to go find someone to help. Heck, I've been wrong about the plot directions many times with this show, so it wouldn't surpise me that you are right. But I just don't see how she could abandon everyone right when she is needed the most to help take out Slade.
