Maybe then we could've taken out the time needed to explain the whole scheme was a trick and reinstate Oliver as mayor. ...I don't get you. What's to explain? The Oliver that got shot was a decoy. It was his job to get shot and make the enemies think they got the real one. That's how it goes. That's why presidents get multiple "President cars" in a convoy, or in case of Putin, multiple convoys, to make sure the enemies take out the wrong one, make their next move, only for the real one to come out of hiding and close the lid on the case.

Oliver's explanation: ACU got a lead that Mayor Queen was going to be attacked by Church's gang, sent a decoy to pose as the Mayor while real Oliver was in hiding, then followed and defeated Church's gang, who, thinking that the Mayor was taken out, proceeded with their scheme.
