6. Rocky Road
https://youtu.be/47W6U-hWD-o Ah, the early days of Season 1. It seems so long ago now, even if it was just three years. Oliver was killing people, Tommy was alive, and Olicity wasn't a thing anyone had started to ship. Instead, the couple people were rooting for was Laurel and Oliver (or, er, Lauriver?). There's a couple of deleted scenes that showcase their relationship, but it's the one above - coming in just the second episode - the highlights the chemistry between the two in the beginning of the show. It displays just how well Laurel really knows Oliver, conveying the sense of history between them, and what's more Laurel - who became one of the most disliked non-villainous characters on TV in Season 2 - comes across as rather likeable, telling Ollie that when he's ready to admit the truth, to show up at her place with ice cream. Rocky Road.
