In episode 63, scene 3, Allison visits Paul in the Hanley apartment over
the Pharmacy. This is the only scene where Paul appears to be living
in the apartment. Paul was in the process of going through Calvin's
things in episodes 49 and 50. He opens the trunk in episode 49 and in
episode 50, he finds Elizabeth's diary. Because of the hostility
between Calvin and Paul, there is no reason to believe that Paul lived
in the apartment with Calvin. He must have moved in temporarily after
his father's death.
