She doesn't know where she is, where her allies are, where the enemies are, etc. Basically dumped into a bad situation where she can't really be of use at all.

Again, I'd be more impressed if Leafa didn't hang around letting herself be the victim of tentacle porn for minutes before realizing that maybe that woman was evil. I know her character is blonde in-game but doesn't need to play to a stereotype here . Since she doesn't know this scene is about letting the pig general have character development, there's no good reason to wait this long to do something. She didn't even need to kill her to escape...Which means she had no reason to hang there as long as she did.
I wouldn't say she can't be of use at all. I think she got two victories in her own corner that will payoff in the long run .

I mean, everyone's moving on foot in this fight other than Sinon so I guess you just have to make do. Maybe he would've found them a horse ?

I think there was just a bunch of stuff happening all at once that threw Leafa off and didn't give her a good opportunity to do anything until someone she spurred on through her treatment of them gave her an opportunity to cut loose. Hopefully now that she's free and Lilpilin can willingly just point her in the right direction she can more freely get into the action .

Good for the guy to get a character moment. But I'm not entirely sure every enemy general needs this 'rise against the system' character arc. All they need is enough of them to do so.
Two is better than one .

And it is nice that Leafa got to smite the woman. But it really doesn't salvage the scene. And still makes Leafa look stupid and incompetent. Not a good look for the first episode back for this series.
Well, she's competent enough to quickly kill off a major baddie when she finally gets free .

She wasn't handcuffed. I think she probably could have easily unbound herself and get right to the action had she not been swarmed by a bunch of leeches (as soon as Dee Eye Ell let her go she seemed to be able to get the ropes off). Heck, even with her hands tied up she could probably still have wielded her sword because her sword style is two-handed.

Lilpilin seemed so thrown off by her not resisting that he didn't seem to even bother taking her sword off of her.
