With an icy heart like that, you’re probably a manhunter yourself

John Stewart is flexing his phone muscles in this episode. I hope we finally have enough exposition.

Zoe/Manhunter killed people. The aliens who told John they'd nuke the town if they weren't told were the manhunter was killed people. John killed Zoe. Hal spent the episode trying to save people. Everyone in the show thinks Hal is the bad guy and clearly the showrunners do too but I don't see it.

Hal didn't directly kill people, but he got people killed. He deliberately engineered the armed confrontation at the Macon ranch. He knew the group of murderous aliens were extremely dangerous and capable of suicide bombings, falsely told them that Macon was the Manhunter, and sent them directly at the ranch so their attack would occupy Macon’s militia while Hal went after the real Manhunter. This helped precipitate the battle that devastated Rushville. Not to mention straight-up leaving John Stewart to die. He was overwhelmed with insecurity and paranoia, obsessed with feeling old and useless and like the ring is what defines his value. Sinestro got in his head.
The people of Rushville hate Hal's guts and think he's a bad person for what he did but I think the way the show itself treats him is much more nuanced. One of my favorite things about this last episode was the small ways in which the remnants of his goodness and humanity were displayed (by constantly trying to help people in the face of hostility and derision, and his lovey-dovey voice note to sheriff Kane)
Good ep, good show
