When she notices a picture of Hope Shlottman with a friend, Jones decides to give the friend a visit. At Hope Shlottman's Apartment, Jones has a talk with Mei, while her new roommate films it.

* Whilst investigating Janice Robbins (AKA Agent Rebecca Stevens, former agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.), the team find many images of the symbols. Jemma Simmons performs an autopsy on the deceased woman. Both the victim and the killer had/have GH.325 in their blood, which eventually turned the killer into a psychopath.
* Trish Walker sets up an interview on her talk show for Hope Shlottman.
* Coulson believes the only way to get the answers they seek is to put him in the memory machine to the point where the memories that were taken from him return, despite the pain it will cause him.
* After being placed in the memory machine, Coulson sees himself in the interrogation room at the Guest House. He can see a few agents who were used as test subjects for the GH.325 formula, all seeming to be in decent shape at first. Then everything changes; they all go start to go mad as he interrogates them, save one, Derik, who just wants to know when he can get out of there. However, when Coulson pins him down and rolls up his sleeve, he sees cuts on his arm of the Words of Creation, proving that Derik is even more crazy than the others, but trying to pretend he is not.
* Coulson argues to shut down the rejuvenation program and destroy the host. The only hope at curing the patients is to erase their memories; so reluctantly, that is what they do. Coulson manages to state the names of the patients in his vision to Skye before being pulled out of the machine.
* They research the people and discover that Robbins' killer is Sebastian Derik, who is targeting those who went through Project T.A.H.I.T.I., and the only patient that he has not yet killed is a man named Hank Thompson.
* Skye discourages Coulson from getting involved, but he temporarily traps her in Ward's empty cell, telling her that he wants to take care of Derik personally.
* Coulson finds Hank Thompson and warns that his life is in danger, but before he can act, Derik knocks him out from behind.
* **Attack on Hank Thompson**:
	+ Thompson is bound and gagged in his workshop, and his wife and son are locked in a closet. Coulson is also tied up. Derik lets him know that pain gives him back his memories, which is how he found all the others from Project T.A.H.I.T.I. He wants to know what the alien writings mean, and is willing to do whatever it takes to find out.
	+ Thompson escapes from his bindings, and some deep-rooted training helps him assist Coulson in breaking free as well. Thompson rushes his family to safety while Coulson momentarily neutralizes Derik and a difficult struggle ensues. Skye and Alphonso Mackenzie arrive, threatening to shoot Coulson, who has Derik trapped by the neck, believing that he is out of his mind. However, Coulson is not trying to kill him; he is trying to get him to look down at the massive toy train design Hank Thompson had constructed below them. From above, it looks like the alien writing; it looks like a three-dimensional city. Feeling a sense of fulfillment, Derik loses his aggression and is turned over to the authorities.
* To get rid of the people following him, Ward tells Sunil Bakshi that he will make a deal with him. However, he is luring Bakshi into a trap, and binds and gags him, then delivers him to Melinda May, Bobbi Morse, Antoine Triplett and Lance Hunter, to their surprise.
* Cage and Jones sleep together again.

#### 17th

* In the Playground, Coulson tells Hank Thompson that they could use a super spy like him. Thompson refuses the offer, as he is happy being the family man he is now. He thanks Coulson for his second chance and gives him his business card. He has also now found his peace, and so has Coulson; the compulsion to carve is gone. Now all he has to do is figure out why the alien was so determined to get to that city.
* In her radio program, Walker holds the interview for Shlottman so that all the listeners can hear her experiences with Kilgrave. During the interview, Jeri Hogarth speaks as if Shlottman is insane, but Walker defends the girl, citing that in a world that has the Avengers, the idea of a man with telepathy is not that far-fetched. Walker begins to insult Kilgrave, much to Jones' anxiety. When Walker takes callers' questions, Kilgrave himself calls in, questioning Walker's decision to taunt such a powerful man. Jones and Walker quickly exit the radio station to go to Walker's apartment.
* Coulson vows that they will find Ward eventually. In the meantime, they will take advantage of his gift of Bakshi. Coulson addresses his team to assure them that he is not crazy. He has been trying to solve the puzzle of the writing, just like HYDRA. Coulson says their job is to find the mystery city before anyone else.
* Jones uses Malcolm Ducasse as a distraction to infiltrate a hospital and steal some vials of anesthesia.
* **Attack on Trish Walker**:
	+ Kilgrave finds Will Simpson, enthralls him and sends him to kill Trish Walker for insulting him.
	+ Simpson arrives at Walker's apartment and attacks her. She tries to take him down but fails, and Simpson starts to strangle her. Fortunately, Jessica Jones arrives and temporarily subdues Simpson by throwing him against the wall, knocking him out.
	+ To stop him from attacking Walker, and seeing an opportunity to find Kilgrave, Jones injects Walker with a sedative, rendering her unconscious. When Simpson wakes and sees Walker's inanimate body, he is convinced that he has accomplished his mission to kill her and proceeds to report back to Kilgrave, with Jones following him.
* Ward makes a call to Bakshi's phone, knowing that Skye would answer. He promises to keep sending "gifts" from time to time, then informs her that he has work to do, and says goodbye, while looking at the previous Monday's Global USA's front-page report on his brother, Christian's vow to bring him to justice.
* In his new residence, Kilgrave orders Simpson to commit suicide by jumping from a balcony; Jones stops him but is discovered by Kilgrave. After knocking Simpson unconscious again so as to stop his repeated attempts at suicide, Jones pursues Kilgrave, but as he runs away, different residents in Kilgrave's apartment start to defend their master. Kilgrave escapes.
* Jones discovers a room covered wall-to-wall with pictures of her, and she sees a picture with writing stating simply: “see you later”.

Eastman explains that "gifted people" caused the death of her mother in "the incident". She then shoots Jones in her arm as a threat.
	+ Jones complains that she too lost family members in an accident, but she doesn't blame anyone else for what happened. She tells the Eastmans that she has ninety-nine gifted friends who will hurt them if they do not leave New York City. The Eastmans flee.

Having heard him talk numerous times during the operation about the fact that when he returns, the first thing his family will do the next day will be to visit the Central Park carousel around midday, the Cerberus leaders plan an attack for April 4th, the day after Castle returns from his current military service. Russo refuses to take part himself, having been close with the Castle family, but lets the operation go ahead nonetheless.
* Schoonover uses his drug lord alias of the "Blacksmith" to arrange a fake drug deal in Central Park on April 4th, planning to initiate a gunfight which will be targeted by the men of his who will be present to catch the Castle family in its crossfire. Having also heard of an undercover officer infiltrating one of the three gangs of the Kitchen Irish, the Mexican Cartel, or the Dogs of Hell, he decides to organize for those three to be the gangs involved in the deal, assuming that through the undercover officer, Samantha Reyes will learn of the deal and attempt a sting, and that he can therefore cover the massacre by making it appear to the police like a sting gone wrong.
* Jane Foster gives a presentation at a college.

	+ Jones, Simpson and Walker find Kilgrave and initiate the plan to capture him. Kilgrave spots Will Simpson, but before he can run away he is distracted by Jessica Jones. Simpson shoots the anesthesia dart to leave him unconscious.

* Jones goes to Malcolm Ducasse's Apartment, and Ducasse honestly admits that he had been betraying Jones to be supplied by Kilgrave with the drugs he was addicted to; not really because he was under his control.

* **Hijacking of the Kaena Point Air Force Base and Infiltration into Laura Creek Station**:
	+ Melinda May is left in charge of the Playground as Phil Coulson takes Leo Fitz, Antoine Triplett and Skye to Hawaii. He gives each a particular mission, then he has the Bus take them to Australia. At Laura Creek, there is a satellite relaying station that is easier to infiltrate than the Kaena Point Air Force Base in Oahu.
	+ The strange assignments that Coulson had given earlier were in preparation to cause an EMP blackout at the base which would cause the station at Laura Creek to be used as back-up. Coulson wants to hack their satellites so that he can find the city that matches the Words of Creation map.
	+ Coulson's team is ambushed by HYDRA and Triplett is seriously injured.
	+ It turns out that HYDRA are there under Skye's Father’s lead, seeking the city himself. As he is a doctor, Triplett's injury gave him an opportunity to meet Coulson personally. He is very surprised that Coulson knew about the city, since Whitehall had to be told by him about its existence. He explains to Coulson about the Diviner, then tells Coulson that the moment he lets go of Triplett's artery, he will bleed out, unless Coulson administers a clotting agent. He gives Coulson the clotting agent and uses Coulson's distraction of saving Triplett to escape.

* **Search for the Kree City**: Meanwhile, Coulson prepares his agents to find the hidden city. When Billy Koenig informs him that Raina was in trouble, Coulson decides to separate his agents into two teams: one to enter the city under San Juan, the other to protect Raina in Canada.
* At the Vancouver S.H.I.E.L.D. Safe House, Skye is forced to fight Agent 33 and Lance Hunter helps her to subdue the HYDRA operative. While awaiting Melinda May to extract them, Raina tells Skye that she believes she would be able to touch the Diviner without dying. When Skye reveals to her that Whitehall has the artifact, Raina realizes that he wants her alive, and suddenly tries to surrender, but is stopped when May arrives.
* The team with Coulson (Leo Fitz, Jemma Simmons, Bobbi Morse and Alphonso Mackenzie) enter the Castillo San Cristóbal, a garrison that was built above the hidden city, but their guide will not enter because of stories of it being haunted and that those who entered did not return.
* On the Bus, Raina tells Skye the stories that her grandmother told her of the Kree and their desire to destroy humanity, except the chosen few selected by the Diviner. She lets her know that she is fond of Skye's Father because he found Raina in Thailand and sheltered her. Raina then debunks Skye's notion that she may be alien.
* During the conversation, Raina reveals that if the unworthy enter the temple, they would die. Before Skye can warn Coulson's team, four HYDRA Quinjets surround the plane.
* Coulson's team find a hundred-foot shaft leading to the temple. When Fitz sends D.W.A.R.F.s into the hole they lose their signal, so Alphonso Mackenzie is sent inside to investigate. When he finds the inactive drones, his hand touches the ground, which then glows with the Words of Creation. His hand then becomes tattooed with the same symbols and he screams in pain.
* Mackenzie is hoisted up, his eyes turning red as he tells Coulson to run, before losing control and slapping him away. Bobbi Morse fights the super-strong Mackenzie hand-to-hand until she can get to her battle staves, but her blows are ineffective.
* Mack fights against Coulson's team, but even being shot by an I.C.E.R. has no effect on to the crazed man, as Phil Coulson struggles to keep Simmons from falling into the shaft. Mack approaches Coulson and Simmons but is electrocuted by Morse. Stunned, he falls back into the shaft. When Morse asks if they can save their friend, Coulson replies that "that was not Mack".
* **Kidnapping of Raina and Skye**:
	+ Grant Ward, who was on board one of the HYDRA Quinjets, had traced the signal from Raina's tracker previously placed by Hunter, and boarded the Bus to collect her.
	+ Ward finds himself surrounded by May's team. He predicts that all of them would die if a fire fight started. Skye, remembering that Sunil Bakshi was captured because of him, tells Ward to pick a side; he assures her that he has. Ward promises that HYDRA will not attack if Raina and Skye are relinquished to him; the two women leave with him.
	+ Elsewhere, Agent 33 reports to Daniel Whitehall that Ward was successful in obtaining Raina, but that he has also captured Skye, and promised not to attack S.H.I.E.L.D. in return. Whitehall tells her that Ward was not authorized to make such a promise, and commands her to order an attack on the Bus.

#### 31st

* *Star Wars Doodles* is released.
* The HYDRA planes turn around on Daniel Whitehall and Agent 33's order to shoot down the Bus. The agents on board follow Melinda May's orders as she cleverly maneuvers the Bus away from the locked-on missiles; she flies low enough to get out of HYDRA's clear sight, then fires shrapnel to explode the missiles, while they cloak the Bus to make it seem like the Bus has been blown up.
* Phil Coulson and Melinda May's groups land their vehicles and re-group. They discuss what to do next, and what might have happened to Alphonso Mackenzie. Bobbi Morse states that once this whole ordeal is over, she thinks she will cry for about a week.

* Due to his suspicions that Skye is special like her mother, Whitehall forces her to touch the Diviner, and to her surprise, it does not affect her, but glows in her hands, confirming that she is special. She then turns and attacks a few nearby agents with the Diviner, turning them to stone, but is restrained. Whitehall threatens that he will make Johnson watch as he experiments on his daughter, the way he experimented on his wife. Raina explains to him that Ward has taken Skye to him for his own purposes, and he therefore realizes that he shouldn't trust Ward either, then orders Skye, Johnson, and Ward to be taken off and bound, while he prepares to enter the city.
* **Battle for the Kree City**:
	+ After Cal Johnson, Skye, and Grant Ward escape their bonds, Skye shoots Ward when he turns his back on her. He survives, due to wearing a Bulletproof Vest.
	+ Raina goes into the Kree City with the Diviner, knowing Skye will follow. Johnson goes looking for Daniel Whitehall.
	+ When he finds him, Whitehall turns to shoot Johnson, but Phil Coulson kills him first from behind. Unexpectedly however, Johnson gets angry at Coulson for robbing him of his revenge.
	+ As he attacks Coulson, Skye convinces him to stop, and he leaves, telling her he will be there for her after she changes. Skye, learning that Raina has gone into the city, goes after her, with Coulson following behind.
	+ Learning that they are still in the city, Antoine Triplett, after just finishing laying the bombs, jumps into the city to defuse them, then goes after Skye. Meanwhile, Agent 33 is confused as to what to do now that Whitehall is dead, so she finds Ward and drags him out of the base to safety. Triplett arrives at the temple in the center of the city as Raina lets the Diviner open to reveal Terrigen Crystals.
	+ The doors close around Skye, Triplett, and Raina, trapping them in. The crystals unleash the Terrigen Mist, unlocking Skye and Raina's Inhuman abilities. Triplett tries to destroy the Diviner, but gets a shard in his side, killing him as it turns him to stone.
	+ As Skye comes out of Terrigenesis, she sees Triplett die, and breaks down, accidentally causing an earthquake, which causes his stone figure to crumble to pieces. The team find Skye unharmed at the epicenter and save her, but cannot find Raina. Jemma Simmons and her team begin work on the city before they intend to flood it.

She questions whether Miller is being paid by someone to lie, as Donovan removes her from the room.
* Dillard sits outside in the precinct, when Knight confronts her, telling her that she now finds her a top suspect. Knight says that the wounds showed that the attacker was close to Cottonmouth, having attacked with passion, and that Dillard is still a little damp from having likely taken a shower. She is defiant, however. When Priscilla Ridley comes to the corridor, she greets Dillard, having previously been a soror of hers, and lets her go.

It can therefore be approximated that Magnum got lost on the midpoint of these dates, January 2015.

There are undetermined spans of time between *Heavy is the Head* and *Making Friends and Influencing People*, between *Making Friends and Influencing People* and *Face My Enemy*, and mostly undetermined between *A Hen in the Wolf House* and *A Fractured House* - other than that when *A Fractured House* picks up, it does not seem that Morse and Hunter have been reunited for long. A weighted (2 : 2 : 1) distribution of these episodes' events places 107 days between the events of *Heavy is the Head* and *Making Friends and Influencing People*, a further 107 days between *Making Friends and Influencing People* and *Face My Enemy*, and 53 days between *A Hen in the Wolf House* and *A Fractured House* to stretch the first set of episodes to fill out the span of time reasonably. From this, *Making Friends and Influencing People* falls in September 2014, also fitting Brett Dalton's statement that "Ward had a hell of a time in the cage by himself for 6 months [until] he makes a promise; to reunite Skye with her dad," with Ward being put in his cell in March 2014 (see other references).
15. ↑ In *Face My Enemy*, Skye jokingly states that "[May] just said more words than I've heard her say in a year", implying that she has known May for over a year.

48. ↑ Carl Lucas escaped prison on January 20, 2014 (see 2014 references). However, in *Can't Front on Me*, Shades says, "My last year in Seagate, me and Comanche got paid by this juiced-in-guard, Rackham, to beat the shit out of some guy named Carl Lucas." In *Code of the Streets*, in November 2015 (see other references), Shades says, "I just got home [...] Three years this time, Seagate," suggesting he was released in late 2015, so his "last year in Seagate" would start in late 2014, but Cage is already out and Connors is already dead by then. If Shades is taken to be very loosely meaning "just" when he says "just got home", you could maybe take it that he got home a little earlier in 2015, but still, this does not work, with Cage escaping absolutely no later than January 2014. At a stretch, it can be taken that Shades is referring to the calendar year of 2014 as his last year at Seagate, released in the first half of 2015, so only a few months in and with 2015 not counting as his last "year" - and he is also only meaning "just" loosely, back for about half a year. Placing greater weight on the attack being during his last year, a weighted calculation places Shades' release on March 3, 2015.

However, his hair is shown to be significantly shorter than it is at the time of the trial, the aftermath of which is shown in *Lead Horse Back to Stable* (the same length as his present day haircut in Season 2). With a minimum of 3 weeks of hair growth, placing it before March 27, 2015 but as close as possible, the duel can be approximated to March 6, 2015.

64. ↑ While there is an undetermined period of time gap, *The Writing on the Wall* picks up shortly after *A Fractured House*, with the team hunting Ward after his escape, and Ward just starting to enact his own plans. The assigned span of a week is the longest realistically possible gap.
65. ↑ 65.0 65.1 In *The Things We Bury*, Mackenzie says on the reasoned date of March 29th that the Attack on Hank Thompson was "last week." With March 29, 2015 being a Sunday, the earliest possible date for the attack is Monday March 16, 2015. Time gaps need to be as long as possible in Season 2 (see other references), so this is the assigned date.
66. ↑ In *The Writing on the Wall*, Coulson says, "The writing's coming more and more frequently. Used to be two, three times a month. Then once a week. Now it's every day, every night." In *Heavy is the Head*, it was overdue at 18 days – so approximately every 2 weeks, about twice a month. From that point, over the following months it would have progressed to 2 or 3 times a month, then once a week, then every day, up to this point – the implication from that is that it has been several months since *Heavy is the Head*. As well as this, when addressing the agents, he says, "I know in the past few months, it may have seemed like I was leading you on some fool's errand, chasing after strange carvings and artifacts." Again, it has been months. The timeline works out as 9½ months.

68. ↑ *Hawkeye: 1.01: Never Meet Your Heroes*
69. ↑ The opening credits of *Never Meet Your Heroes* shows a montage of events in Kate Bishop's life. These events are:

	* Eleanor Bishop giving Kate a bow and arrow
	* Eleanor watching as Kate fires and hits a target twice
	* Kate placing a picture of her and Derek on a shelf
	* Kate placing a trophy on a shelf
	* Kate firing three arrows at two targets
	* Kate eating dinner with Eleanor at a young age
	* Kate eating dinner with Eleanor while older
	* Kate firing an arrow
	* Kate achieving third place in a fencing tournament
	* Seventeen ribbons and trophies sitting on Kate's shelf
	* Eleanor placing her hand on Kate's shoulder as Kate fires an arrow
	* Kate achieving second place in a fencing tournament
	* Kate as a yellow belt fighting a black belt in karate
	* Kate losing a fencing match
	* Kate touching her opponent in a fencing tournament
	* Kate as a black belt
	* Kate doing a flip on a bar
	* Kate firing three arrows at three different targets
	* Kate making first place in a fencing tournament
	* Kate standing on a balance beam on one foot
	* Kate standing on the roof of a building on one foot and jumping onto another building
Kate is shown asking Eleanor for a bow and arrow is dated to May 9, 2012 (see other references), so her receiving the bow, which is shown to be soon after, can be taken to be the next day. Since the montage details Kate's training, it can also be understood that the first scene of Kate firing her bow and arrow is meant to be the first time she used it, placing that scene on May 10, 2012 as well.
In *Never Meet Your Heroes*, Eleanor says to Kate, "I still remember when you got your black belt at 15." This event is dated to December 15, 2017 (see 2017 references). It takes approximately 54 months to earn a black belt. However, in *Hide and Seek*, Kate says, "I, uh, started martial arts training when I was five." It must therefore be taken that she started at five, but did not take it seriously until after she decided she would protect her family in 2012. Using 54 months prior to when she earned her black belt, June 2013, as a starting point, Kate would have earned her yellow belt at the 3 month mark, in September 2013. She would have earned her orange belt, therefore ending her time as a yellow belt, that December. This fight can therefore be approximated to the midpoint of these dates, October 15, 2013. The scenes preceding this scene can therefore be evenly distributed between May 10, 2012 and October 15, 2013. Similarly, the scenes that follow this scene can be evenly distributed between October 15, 2013, and the start of the present day events, December 19, 2024 (see 2024 references), while keeping events clear of events given more specific dates.

71. ↑ In *AKA The Sandwich Saved Me*, it is shown on screen that Jones met Kilgrave "18 months ago". The date of the bus crash incident which ended their time together is definitively shown in *AKA Crush Syndrome* to be "January 20, 2014", and they were together for a few months, meaning they cannot have realistically met any later than September 2013. In *AKA Sin Bin*, Kilgrave says "it was a cold, clear night" when he met Jones, meaning it could not be realistically earlier than September 2013. The reasoned date for this onscreen writing is March 25, 2015, and 18 months prior to this is September 2013, which works well for the dates both ways.

73. ↑ 73.0 73.1 In the comics, Danny Rand fights Shou-Lao roughly a year before he travels from K'un-Lun back to his old home. With the date of him travelling being February 6, 2016, a year prior would be roughly March 2015.
74. ↑ *Iron Fist: 1.13: Dragon Plays with Fire*
75. ↑ *Iron Fist: 1.11: Lead Horse Back to Stable*
76. ↑ In *A Duel of Iron*, Davos is shown helping Danny Rand after he has faced Shou-Lao, and lighting the Iron Fist for seemingly the first time. However, *Lead Horse Back to Stable* showed Davos finding Rand after the trial and lighting the fist for the first time, and with longer hair than in the *A Duel of Iron* scene. So, the scene must just be shortly after the trial, with Rand still weakened and getting used to the Iron Fist - just not the first time he has used it - and after Rand has, for some reason, had a haircut very shortly after the trial. So, the scene can be placed on the day of the trial, March 27, 2015 (see other references), some short time after the trial.

78. ↑ 78.0 78.1 78.2 78.3 78.4 78.5 78.6 78.7 78.8 Throughout *The Punisher*: Season 1, it is stated in November and December 2016 that David Lieberman was almost killed "a year" ago. In *Kandahar*, it is made clear that the attack was at Halloween, so October 31, 2015.
Operation Cerberus finding out about the video of the assassination either came from Gunner Henderson sending the disc to Micro or Micro sending the video to Dinah Madani. The massacre at Central Park following them finding out is firmly dated to April 4, 2015 (see other references), so with Micro sending the video to Madani being October 30, 2015, this means that they must have found out from Henderson sending Micro the disc, which has to have been before April 4, 2015, meaning Micro had the disc for approximately 7 months before making a decision on how to act.
It can be estimated that Henderson sent the video and Cerberus found out around a week before the massacre, to set up the deal but not leave enough time for suspicions to be aroused. Therefore, this was approximately March 28, 2015.

89. ↑ 89.0 89.1 In *Who You Are*, May states "Last week, we took [Skye] to that city." The reasoned date for her saying this is April 10th, so the earliest date she can be referring to, for the longest gap possible, is Monday, March 30th. However, for the events the day before to coincide better with Easter Week, it works better as March 31st.

Castle must have got back on a Friday, as it was a school day, but no school the next day as he took his family to Central Park at midday, making the date of the massacre April 4, 2015. Ellison wrote the article on April 13, 2015, 9 days later, which fits with "a week".
93. ↑ When *Aftershocks* picks up, the team are still fresh off the incidents in the Kree City – grieving the loss of Triplett, and getting ready to flood the city. Skye refers to "every time [she wakes] up," so it has been at least a few days, but Raina has not eaten or drank since her Terrigenesis, so it cannot be more than 3 days since the battle.

In *Seven Minutes in Heaven*, flashbacks are shown chronicling his time in prison between February 16th and November 17th. From Donovan telling Fisk his case is not going well to Fisk telling Donovan to help out Finney and the Valdezes' families seems to be not long after his imprisonment, due to his wounds having not healed too much. It is a slow, scarring heal though, as is evident from the remaining scar in November. It is shown that he has a notepad beginning on "10/12", and the next notepad has a "10/24" date on page 6. With the notepads approximately 20 pages long, this is 5 complete pages in, ¼, so 1¼ pads is about 12 days, meaning one pad is about 10 days.

Fisk is shown keeping his pads in stacks of four. About 13 pads can be seen in Fisk's cell, three stacks of 4 plus one he holds that he then puts on top. Where he's sitting, he appears to be obscuring another stack, and if not, there may well be another in his bedside cabinet, so he is roughly on his 17th pad on November 14th. So, a pad began on October 12th, meaning another around October 22nd, another around November 1st, and another, the 17th, around November 11th. Therefore, working backwards, the 1st pad began around June 4th.

With Donovan telling Fisk his case is not going well on Day 1 and Fisk telling Donovan to help out Finney and the Valdezes' families on Day 5, Day 3 can then be approximately placed halfway between February 16th and June 4th, around April 11th, meaning the scenes between those events are April 9th-13th. This is approximately 20% into the flashbacks, which makes sense in terms of the amount his cut has healed compared to the beginning and the end.

Fisk makes notes from June 4th to November 14th, when Finney approaches him to talk about the Punisher. In that scene, he also references learning about a deal made between Dutton's lieutenant and the Aryans on "the 22nd", assumed to refer to the most recent 22nd - October 22nd. This matches almost perfectly with the fact that the exact note can be seen in his notepad on "10/24" (assuming he just noted it 2 days later).

102. ↑ 102.0 102.1 In *Love in the Time of HYDRA*, Mackenzie says, "I spent the last 48 hours… keeping [Hunter] out of bar fights." The implication from this is that he claims to have travelled for a little while, before then spending 48 hours with him. This, coupled with it being stated he was off campus for "several days," works as 3 days since Mackenzie took Hunter. He says this on April 14th, having taken him on April 11th.

Zemo says he has spent "over a year" planning his revenge. This is on June 24, 2016, so the Battle of Sokovia being on May 6, 2015 works. It cannot be any later, as soon after, Simmons goes to Maveth, and 4,722 hours + 1 day later, Werner von Strucker enrolls onto Andrew Garner's course, where he is told he has "a few weeks" of catch-up work to do. At the earliest it is November, which is already around 10 weeks. It can be assumed that Garner is only giving him the most essential work, amounting to only "a few" weeks, but any later would push this beyond the point where it still fits. May also falls perfectly in-line with the real time release date of *Avengers: Age of Ultron*.

156. ↑ Through *Runaways* it is said that PRIDE sacrificed someone to Jonah once a year for 15 years (*Fifteen*: "One a year for 15 years", *Hostile*: "You ever notice that every year one of your young parishioners goes missing?", "Same time of year, every year", *Last Rites*: "One a year"), resulting in fifteen sacrifices (*Fifteen*: fifteen names are listed, *Kingdom*: "Fifteen kids have died in this room", *Doomsday*: "How could you murder fifteen kids?", *Last Rites*: "Like you killed fifteen runaways"). Fifteen annual sacrifices would amount in fact to 14 years start to finish, and with the last one in December 2017 (see 2017 references), that would make the first sacrifice around 2003.
However, there is evidence for 15 + years of sacrifices, not 14 years. In *Fifteen*, it is said they have taken runaways for "over 15 years". In *Doomsday* it is said that PRIDE has had a grip on the parents' "lives for the last 15 years". As well as this, Season 3 suggests there was in fact a further sacrifice (*Smoke and Mirrors*: "I only sacrificed seventeen innocent kids" (including Andre Compton, which the previous counts did not), *Rite of Thunder*: "She helped murder seventeen teenagers", *Enter The Dreamland*: "We are the seventeen"). Plus "one a year for 15 years" could be taken as "one a year, and we've been doing that for 15 years" rather than "one a year fifteen times, amounting to 15 years". So, it would seem overall that yes, the sacrifices started around 15 years before 2017, not 14. This, then, would make the first sacrifice 2002.
However, in *Doomsday*, a flashback to "fifteen years ago" before December 2017, set shortly after the first sacrifice. While this would align with 2002, Nico Minoru is shown to be a baby only about 3-4 months old. With Nico born around January 2001 (see other references), this would make it roughly April-May 2001. Amy Minoru is also shown to be about 2½. With Amy born around December 1998 (see 1990s references), this would make it roughly mid-2001. Given this, and the lack of flexibility to the children's ages, particularly baby Nico, then the latest this scene can be is June 2001. So, taking this latest possible time, the "fifteen years ago" must be taken to be a rounding from 16 years, and the first sacrifice, Brooks Watten, must also be moved from 2002 to June 2001. With the *Metamorphosis* flashback to "fifteen years ago" of the Wilders getting their house set not long before this and particularly given it is also stretched already to 16 years prior, but enough time to get Brooks Watten, it can be assumed that Watten did not undergo 6 months at the Church of Gibborim like the other Runaways, and was procured in May 2001, with the house scene set that same month.
With it said in *Hostile* that the sacrifices are the "same time of year, every year", it should be assumed that almost all the sacrifices were in early December, like the one on December 4, 2015 (see other references) and the one on December 8, 2017 (see 2017 references), so likely the Friday closest to December 6th. With fourteen sacrifices prior to Destiny Gonzalez and not including Brooks Watten, the second sacrifice would therefore, however, be 14 years prior in December 2003, 2½ years after the first. Given Jonah deteriorates over a year, it should be taken that there were never two sacrifices more than 18 months apart. So, it may be taken that the second sacrifice was in fact December 2002, the third June 2004, and then the fourth December 2005, with the fourth to sixteenth (Gonzalez) all being annually in December from 2005 to 2017, and the first few negligible enough to be discounted in the statement of "same time of year, every year".
Fifteen names, up to and including Gonzalez, are shown in *Fifteen*, meaning there is a bonus sacrifice not listed on the computer somewhere between Brooks Watten and Destiny Gonzalez, making them between the second and fifteenth sacrifice, so it may be guessed that they were the eighth/ninth. To decide which, taking halfway between June 2001 and December 2017, it would have been roughly late 2009, making it closer to the eighth sacrifice than the ninth. So, it may have been taken to have been the eighth.
Therefore, overall, the sacrifices were: Brooks Watten June 2001, Adam Cooper December 6, 2002, Jamie Baxter June 8, 2004 (halfway between December 6, 2002 and December 9, 2005), Tim Bennett December 9, 2005, Xavier Marquez December 8, 2006, Karly Scolari December 7, 2007, James Braswyck December 5, 2008, unknown runaway December 4, 2009, Anthony Rocha December 3, 2010, Kim Hwang December 9, 2011, Bridget Bynum December 7, 2012, John Donahue December 6, 2013, Emily Wong December 5, 2014, Yvonne Taylor December 4, 2015, Brian Geparhart December 9, 2016, and finally Destiny Gonzalez (failed sacrifice) December 8, 2017 and Andre Compton December 11, 2017 (see 2017 references). Adam Cooper to Destiny Gonzalez would have been taken 6 months in advance.

158. ↑ In *Target: Iron Fist*, Misty Knight says on October 8, 2017 (see 2017 references) the task force was put together a "couple years back". "Couple" traditionally means a loose "2", "2, maybe a little more", but is often informally be used to mean "few". Overall, an estimate for a "couple years" is 2⅓ years, making the formation of the task force approximately June 8, 2015.

However, *Marvel Studios' The Marvel Cinematic Universe: An Official Timeline* places the epilogue of the movie, in which Nathaniel has been born, in "Spring 2015." WHiH Newsfront's Google+ Profile posted on May 31, 2015 that Thor is missing, though this is revealed in *Thor: Love and Thunder* to not have been the case since it showed that he regularly returned to Earth during his relationship with Jane Foster. To best satisfy all the evidence, it can be taken that the scene is set as late as possible, June 21, 2015.

At the end of *Avengers: Age of Ultron* on June 21, 2015 (see other references), the Compound is shown to have finished construction. The flashback in *Previously On* shows Maximoff still mourning the loss of her brother, so it must be set close to the Battle of Sokovia. *Marvel Studios' The Marvel Cinematic Universe: An Official Timeline* places the scene after the June 21 scene, so it can be taken that this is shortly after (on another bad day for her) to allow it to still be close to her brother's death, making it approximately June 22, 2015.

To appease both, the "6 months" is stretched to be as early as possible and still fit, in early December, with him being bitten on December 1, 2015, and there is a time jump of 4 months between Lang and van Dyne's kiss and Wilson looking for Lang.

There is little to place these scenes, and so they have been arbitrarily placed a year prior. They are both flashing back from August 30, 2016, suggesting approximately August 10.33333, 2015. A week has been placed between them to separate them, so the first is around August 6.83333 - August 7th, and the second August 13.83333 - August 14th.

The average amount of time passing between installments of the franchise is 983.5 days. The first installment of the franchise can therefore be taken to have been released 983.5 days before the second film's release, September 7, 2015. Since most movies are released on a Friday, the film's release can be taken to be on the nearest Friday, September 4, 2015.

202. ↑ 202.0 202.1 Scott Derrickson said, "It's months that he's in recovery, I think it's between 3 and 6 months. Yeah, I think it's about 3 to 6 months. Somewhere in there [...] I think - gosh, don't hold me to this because again I haven't thought about this in a long time [...] but I think it's about a year from the beginning of the movie to his return to New York. And so, [...] I think it starts early fall, to late fall, so it's a little over a year, because I think it's like winter-y when he has the fight with Christine, it's like that cold, New York, really dark grey, nearly snowing kind of vibe."
On the day of Strange's car crash, he checks his watch and it says "TUE", "2016", "FEB", "2", making it Tuesday, February 2, 2016. While this does not fit with the fact that *WHiH World News* tweeted on May 2, 2016 and posted a video on May 3, 2016 (and *WHiH World News* is proven to be set in real time, (1, 2, 3, 4, and other dialogue in videos matching with dates given)) about Strange being a surgeon, Scott Derrickson tweeted to confirm the February 2nd date as well as retweeting another post about it.
With the beginning of the film in "early fall" and the end of the film in "late fall", "a little over a year" later, and the February 2016 car crash falling between the two, this would mean the film begins around early Fall 2015 and ends around late Fall 2016. However, Derrickson also says that Strange recovers for 3-6 months, and Mads Mikkelsen says Strange trains for "9 months" before his clash with Kaecilius, which overall would suggest the film ends 12-15 months after Strange's car crash, thus placing the ending around February-May 2017. This, in turn, using Derrickson's comment about "a little over a year" ("early" one season to "late" the same season a year later would mean 4⅔ seasons, so about 14 months), would, working backwards, place the opening of the film between December 2015 and February 2016 (the latest it can be, before Strange's car crash).
Overall, using weighted math from all the evidence available, the details of which can be seen here, the result is that the opening is October 13, 2015, the car crash February 2, 2016, the argument with Christine March 29, 2016, Strange's arrival in Kathmandu May 4, 2016, and the climax January 18-19, 2017.
This would put the opening still in the early part of fall (working with Derrickson's comment), the argument with Christine towards the end of the snowy period and a bit after winter, but enough time after Strange's crash and a good time for the heavy rain (a bit later than Derrickson's comment but realistic), his arrival in Kathmandu 3 months after his crash (just fitting inside Derrickson's 3-6 months comment), the climax another 8.5 months later (just fitting for Mikkelsen's "9 months" comment), and the climax a bit after Fall 2016, instead Winter 2016-17 (a bit later than Derrickson's comment) but fitting as "a little over a year" (15 months) after the opening (fitting reasonably with Derrickson's comment), a realistic time of year for the snowfall at the Ancient One's death, and working with the other comments just described. This also works fine considering Derrickson made it clear he did not want to be fully held to his comments.
The specific dates of smaller events in between can also be found here.

While the scene he describes does not occur, the overlap is clear from Temple quitting her job and very soon after visiting her mother. *Daredevil: Season 2*, however, cannot have too much gap between the Attack on the Hand and Christmas Day, as Murdock is still bruised. With *Luke Cage: Season 1* pretty set in stone as November-December, the events of *Daredevil: Season 2* are as late as possible to leave as small a gap as possible, with Temple visiting her mother the next day – which makes sense. This also works better for the weather, as a heatwave in early November is more plausible than December.

229. ↑ 229.0 229.1 229.2 229.3 229.4 229.5 229.6 229.7 In *Hostile*, it is stated that the P.R.I.D.E. sacrifices are the "same time of year, every year", suggesting that the 2015 sacrifice, coinciding with Amy Minoru's death, was almost exactly 2 years prior to December 8, 2015. It has to be no earlier than November 18, 2015, as Wilder and Minoru played *Star Wars Battlefront* for a while before Minoru's death, and that was released on November 17, 2015. It can be assumed that the annual sacrifice is usually on a Friday early in December, as it is in 2017, making it either Friday 4th or Friday 11th in 2015. When Wilder logs onto the PlayStation, it says that the last time Minoru played the game was "2 years ago". The system for such operating systems is to round to the nearest integer below the exact number of years it has been, which means that "2 years ago" means between 2.000 and 2.999 years, so the last time Minoru played was no later than December 7, 2015, meaning her death, being later that evening, cannot have been later than December 7, 2015. Therefore, the most fitting date for the sacrifice and Minoru's death is Friday, December 4, 2015.

240. ↑ Andrew Garner's beard in *Maveth* seems to indicate that he has been under HYDRA custody for around a month. The timeline works out as December 13, 2015 to January 24, 2016, which works sufficiently.
241. ↑ In *Principia (episode)*, on December 17, 2017 (see 2017 references), it is said that all the deaths were faked "within the past 2 years". This means that at the earliest, the faking began on December 17, 2015. However, it also suggests that the beginning of the faking was roughly "2 years" ago, and "2 years" before December 2017 most comfortably should be no later than December 31, 2015. Overall, Caine's work can be approximated as having begun around December 24, 2015.

243. ↑ At the end of *A Cold Day in Hell's Kitchen*, Ellison says that it is now "Christmas Eve", putting Page writing the article on December 24th. Murdock is still bruised from the Attack on the Hand, so it cannot have been more than a few weeks maximum, though still has to fit with the *Luke Cage: Season 1* overlap.
