I think I have a good idea of where the flashback belongs in the timeline. It is already confirmed that this episode takes place after Heart of Darkness. Regina is looking for Snow, but Charming is never mentioned. Snow also seems to be in hiding, not trying to take back the kingdom. I'm going to assume this episode takes place right before An Apple as Red as Blood. This also makes sense because Regina was unable to find Snow and had to kidnap Charming to lure her in.

However, in True North Regina was able to see Snow through her magic mirror. I wander why she couldn't use that here.
