So in the very beginning of Arrow season 1 (episode 1x02 I believe?) when Oliver brings Laurel ice cream, he says "This place hasn't changed a bit in five years," to which Laurel responds "Yeah well I haven't had a ton of time to redecorate." (or something along those lines)

I just have one issue with this: as we see in a flashback at some point (I honestly don't remember when but I believe it was sometime in season 1), when Laurel finds out about Oliver's death, she's at Quentin's house helping make dinner and talking about how she and Oliver are looking for apartments. She then sees the news and drops the plates.

So, if this is correct, that would mean Laurel bought her apartment after Oliver disappeared, so after his return should've been the first time Oliver was ever in the apartment.

The only instance I can think of is that he snuck in at some point while he was in Star City during the five years he was "dead". However, even if that was the case, Laurel shouldn't have known he was there, so she should've at least raised an eyebrow when he made that comment.

I hope you enjoy your stay
