Summary
With time, Dinah can feel herself becoming less of a stranger in her own life. It’s just like old times, except that it isn’t at all. Because Laurel is here. Laurel is here, and she fits into Dinah’s life almost seamlessly. She doesn’t even notice they’re becoming friends until they already are.
or: After the death of her boyfriend, Dinah returns to her hometown of Star City only to find that nothing has changed. Nothing, that is, save for the attitude of the city's former mean girl, Laurel, in whom Dinah finds an unexpected ally. And maybe more.

Summary
“I just got the best idea.”

Summary
Laurel isn’t jealous in the slightest.
Maybe she’s a little envious that Vanessa’s on a date with the one person Laurel’s had her eye on for years. Maybe she’s a little bitter, but that’s just because Dinah is on a date with someone who looks remarkably similar to Laurel, down to the sharp jaw, short hair, and dangerous scowl.
But jealous?
Laurel’s not jealous.

Summary
“This one seems like the right shape for our living room. What do you think?”
The question hits like a freight train. Dinah is looking at Laurel with softness, a gentle questioning which implores Laurel’s thought on the tree. It’s not the way Dinah asks for her opinion that has Laurel this warm, it's the phrasing. It's the words 'our living room'.
or
Dinah and Laurel celebrate their first Christmas together in 2040. Featuring Christmas tree decorating, Laurel having feelings, and Dinah wanting nothing but the best for Laurel (because they're in love, obviously)

Summary
The corner of Dinah’s mouth twitches when she hears Laurel’s voice, but she quickly schools her face into one more disapproving, like she doesn’t want to be caught smiling at anything Laurel says.
Dinah fails though. There’s a hint of a smirk as she replies, “Well, I have to keep up appearances. Especially now that I have this lousy scar.”
Or: an episode tag to 07x13, where Laurel visits Dinah in the hospital after her throat is slit
