The final scene in Smash the Mirror, with the Apprentice operning the door, happens quite some time after the rest of the episode. So, Lacey may very well be 2-4 years before the curse This still does not make sense. If Belle moves into Rumpel's castle four years before the curse, that means she lives with him for alost 3 years. This also means Snow spends at least 3 years running from Regina. Based on the story I assumed she was only running for a few months, unless there's a huge time gap between "Child of the Moon" and "Snow Falls". Well, I've always been under the impression that Regina threw Snow out of the Palace while Snow was still 16-18. If Snow really is Emma's age like we've heard throughout the show (29 as of 4B) then that would mean that Regina was chasing Snow for 8 years as a bandit and in the span of four years, she met Charming, led a resistance and dethroned Regina, after which Regina cast the Curse.
