We know Skin Deep season 1 episode 12 happened Valentines day (though the episode actually aired 12 Feb not 14 so that’s not exactly same time). The Doctor season 2 episode 5 happened around Halloween because there were pumpkins around Granny’s Diner. So between February and October the events of 15 episodes need to occur. 15 episode events over the course of 9 months is possible especially if there are time jumps between events in Storybrooke where nothing was happening such as 2 weeks passing timewise between Graham’s death and Emma running for Sheriff.
However, Emma’s birthday has likely been skipped this season since Storybrooke is running in present day and Emma’s birthday is in October. October in Storybrooke was episode 5 of season 2.

Right. I think we can all assume that each episode roughly occurs around their respective airdates. I say roughly, because some episodes clearly do happen during the same day or the day after. However, there are several episodes where plenty of time could have already passed. For example, there could have been a gap between “The Miller’s Daughter” and “Welcome to Storybrooke.” In a way, it makes logical sense that the events of Storybrooke are happening alongside their airdates to make sense of the weather shown. Like how we see snow and use of warmer clothing during episodes that were produced during the winter.
Yeah but I think the gaps between episodes would lead you to think its not an exact timeline, including the whole summer break was about a 5 to 10 minute gap in the Storyline, I think first season might have lined up more but this season has been really condensed with Emma and Snow in FTL and what has occurred from episodes 2×10 to 2×16.
also henry could have had 11 candles and one for good luck on his cake

Perhaps this is a question someone needs to ask Adam on twitter. I do think it will be Henry’s 12th birthday, which does make sense if what I said is true. Henry was 10 in October 2011, which means he turned 11 last year, so his 11th birthday definitely already passed at least before October 2012. I don’t think they would be holding a really late birthday party. Yeah the timeline may not make sense as far as how events have lined up, but I think the writers are sticking to each episode roughly occurring in accordance to real time to make things simpler on themselves. We also don’t know how long Emma and Snow were really in FTL. There were definitely moments with them traveling, sleeping, etc. that we didn’t necessarily see. FTL is a big place, so it could have took quite some time to get from one place to another, especially on foot.
I heard Adam say or tweet recently that it has been “about a year” since Emma arrived in Storybrooke. Sorry I am not good at finding stuff like this.
A year would make sense since Henry is now 11 instead of 10 like he was in season 1. I agree with the theory that the birthday scene in Lacey is going to be someone’s dream.
They might not show Emma’s birthday every season especially if there is a lot going on like there currently is in season 2. However, perhap’s they’ll show Emma’s birthday next season and it’ll be a big family affair.
What if they leave showing Emma’s birthday until the series finale. Then they can bookend it with the beginning of the series. So in the Pilot, Emma is shown celebrating her birthday alone then in the series finale, Emma is shown celebrating her birthday with her family.

He said on twitter it’s been roughly a year. If you’re referring to how old Henry will be, let’s wait for the episode.

I personally would think the very first birthday she has family around will be a big one. The first time her parents get to celebrate the birth of their baby. It’s my personal headcanon that Emma turned 29 while she was in FTL with Snow and therefore didn’t have a celebration but her next one will be a big thing… and it’ll be her big 3-0!

I really like that idea and that would be the perfect ending and tie back to the pilot. Great idea! 😀
"We were happy."
"Because... it was born out of true love."If it has been one year it is more likely to be his 11th bday and if there are 12 candles we are counting there is just one for good luck. When I saw someone post that there were only 12 candles I thought, “Well so he is 11 then”.
Also maybe we will Emma’s bday mentioned or maybe we will get a modern time date which will clear so much up, maybe on Emma’s 29th or 30thKeeper of Swanfire's dream catcher, the Blue Fairy Plot Device, the contact name "Her", the lanyards, the trigger, the Netherworld room and necklace, Charming's quote on Thanksgiving, and PP's pic of Henry

I remember seeing this as well recently. He made a point to say the airdates don’t exactly match up with the episode timeline because it has only been about a year since she arrived.
I wish Twitter made it easier for tweets to be searched! It is really hard to find stuff like that.Keeper Nealfire's/Bae's scarf, Henry and Neal's bribery ice cream sundae, Baelfire's sword, the coconut map, and more.
