Plus, 209 takes place less than a year after 101, because of the title card I mentioned. Technically wasn't the missing year only like 9 months? Based on the Snow pregancy stuff.

No. The missing year breaks down as follows:


 * Season 3A: One year before 3B (not part of the missing year but I'm including it nevertheless)
 * "New York City Serenade" flashback: One year before 3B
 * "Witch Hunt" flashback: One year before 3B
 * "Quiet Minds" flashback: One year before 3B
 * "The Tower" opening scene (where Snow tells David that she's pregnant): 9 months before 3B
 * "The Jolly Roger" flashback: 9 months before 3B
 * "A Curious Thing" opening scene (where Zelena announces her plans for Snow and David's child, and Belle returns to the others): 8 months before 3B
 * The rest of "The Tower" flashback (Charming's quest/ meeting with Rapunzel): Sometime between the opening scene of "A Curios Thing" and the casting of the second curse in the same episode (that is never stated on-screen, but Belle is back with the others, meaning that Charming's quest must take place after she returns on the opening scene of "A Curious Thing").
 * The rest of the "A Curious Thing" flashback, where Snow casts the new curse and brings everyone back to Storybrooke: 8 months after the opening scene and therefore 0 months before 3B.
