* 8:48 PM - The trio finally meet up and manage to get into Charles' phone to listen to the recording.

*Note: There is a major inaccuracy in the timeline here. Although the date on Charles' phone should be Monday, February 8th, it is in fact visible in this screenshot as Sunday, March 8th, (which was not the correct date for 2021 - the 8th of both February and March was a Monday.) The screenshot is very low quality and difficult to see as the image is only on the screen for a few seconds, but the month is definitely given as March. This is problematic for the previous timeline, but makes much more sense for the timeline for Season 2.*

## Notes and Trivia

1. ↑ Thirty (2023): Season 3, Episode 9. Mabel has a nightmare she's giving birth in a hospital and on her medical bracelet, it lists her date of birth as, 04/04/1993.
2. ↑ Open and Shut (2021): Season 1, Episode 10. Jan says that "the day before" they broke up (which was 2 days before Tim's death), she found the ring in his apartment.
3. ↑ The date on the cheque is 31st January 2021.
4. ↑ Fan Fiction (2022): Season 1, Episode 8. The date submitted is seen on the tox report.
5. ↑ Fan Fiction (2021): Season 1, Episode 8. Oliver references that they spent a "night in the truck", hence the funeral and subsequent kidnapping was two days before the podcast release on 5th February.
6. ↑ Fan Fiction (2021): Season 1, Episode 8. The date is visible on Williams' email.
7. ↑ The eviction notice is dated the 7th of February. Oliver has gone out to collect the merch, so presumably she put it on his door between him leaving and returning. Hence, the date of this shot is probably the 7th of February. This forms the basis for the next part of the timeline.
