Her death was suspiciously filmed in first place, there's no need for Flashpoint to bring her back. We are still not shown the "promise" Oliver made to her that was outright cut to the next scene, after which she lost pulse despite the doctors' saying that "she is fine". And then the scene in the morgue, where the doctor leaves Oliver alone with the body, he hears "Oliver", turns around, then it cuts to flashback. The promise scene was said to be revealed in the future, yet it didn't happen in the finale. What does that all mean?

That Laurel's "death" was probably faked by her and Oliver, and her return will be Season 5's big twist in its first half. Just like Sara died in Season 3, and returned in the first half of Season 4. Patterns of writing and all that, we had:

1: Sara "dies" early, Merlyn "dies" in the end. 2: Sara comes back early, Merlyn comes back in the end 3: Sara dies early, Thea dies and is resurrected, Oliver "dies for real" (per Marc Guggenheim at that time). 4: Sara comes back early, Laurel dies in the end.

Yeah, someone's gonna come back, and later someone else dies dramatically.
