Hi everyone, who wants to chat a lil' bit about the timeline?

See, I've really enjoyed Season 7 this year, especially because it's seemed to be some kind of actual timeline in Seattle, just the way it used to in Storybrooke back in Season 1.

Now of course, "Is This Henry Mills?" reveals that the curse brought everyone from the New Enchanted Forest, years after Henry's departure from Storybrooke before he could enter college, back in time, in late October 2017. What's especially interesting tho with this episode, was that scene where Seattle!Henry calls his younger self, on a Friday night, as one was planning to go on a weekend trip with his family while the other was just about to leave home for his graduation party at Granny's.

But here's the thing: it just seems very unlikely that young Henry made it through an entire year (two semesters) for this last year. According to the timeline, Eloise was found on November 18th, then successively Victoria was arrested → Jacinda got Lucy's custody back → Lucy fell in a coma → Victoria and Andrea died → Hilda died a week later → Ivy and Ana left → Nick got killed → Gothel gathers her Coven... In a matter of a few weeks at most.

There's no way they could be in Spring 2018 already, more like in late December 2017. So I did some thinking, and then some digging and I realized (see what I did there?) that this would be fitting if Henry actually early graduated, at the end of the first semester. Basing my research on a few documents about Maine's scholar calendars (for this very year), it looks like a possibility.

Plus, a little detail: Henry's talking about a graduation party at Granny's for which he was trying his outfit right before he got the call. Shouldn't he have done it already if he had to go through a formal ceremony earlier?

Those are are just my thoughts. What would be yours?
