lets see: I don’t see too much of a problem. Here are the events that must happen:
1. Cinderella meets the Prince.
@. Anastasia gets ejalous and meets will scarlet, lets say it was the same day.
3. Will finds the mirror and they travel to wonderland only to be stopped by Anastasia’s mother and Ella Ashely’s if you will’s step mother.
4. Anastasia becomes red queen we dont know how long this takes but we are being generous and say one month.
5. during this same month Will becomes the knave of Hearts and works for Cora.
6. We don’t know exactly when Alice met Anastasia and will but it could still be in this period.
7. Hook comes to wonderland and Hook and Cora create barrier before curse is inacted.
I see no timeline problems. We forget that nine months go by in the Cinderella episode or at least 6 or 7 months. Who knows maybe Thomas and Ella had a real courtship like snow and David did and we just did not see it. We skipped after the ball and the Prince finding through glass slipper after all.
We also do not know exactly how long Rumple was magically imprisonned but we know that that might be anywhere between one and nine months because we don’t know where in Rumple’s timeline and the curse’s timeline Snow gets pregnant. was she even pregnant during Price of Gold?
Magic always comes with a price, so I pay with visa.
