Clearly, there is only one gravestone manufacturer in Star(ling) City... Oliver Queen Sara Lance (notice how her grave appears to have changed location?) Tommy Merlyn Laurel Lance Rebecca Merlyn Also... 4 Graves on Lian Yu - Robert Queen, Yao Fei, Shado and maybe Taiana?

IIRC, Suzanne Gomez isn't exactly the biggest Olicity fan - and she's CW's Vice President, Primetime Publicity, for Arrow, Flash and LoT.

Looks like almost all of the superhero shows were down this week - Supergirl, Flash and AoS all hit their lowest demo ratings, while Gotham held steady...

I don't think Oliver & Felicity will get back together fully this season - maybe just taking steps in that direction. From the latest Spoiler tweets, we have Sara's gravestone, Rebecca Merlyn's gravestone (with fresh flowers!) and two identical Oliver Queen gravestones! I guess Laurel's gravestone must be on the LoT set. Maybe Oliver becomes Mayor and he's inspecting the local cemetery as part of the city's beautification efforts - you know, like maybe get rid of the old, obsolete headstones (like his and Sara's)? ;)
