There's no possible way there could be a 6 month gap between those episodes.

Actually, they do use the Gregorian calendar, according to the novels "Red's Untold Tale" and "Regina Rising" – but that doesn't mean their calendar coincides with our calendar. As for a 6 months gap, it is perfectly possible: Kathryn disappears sometime after Valentine's Day ("Skin Deep") in "What Happened to Frederick" and returns after a week in "The Stable Boy", according to a title card. "The Return" begins the day after Kathryn was found, but it is never stated how much time passed between "The Return" and the following episode, "The Stranger". In "The Stranger", Mary Margaret goes back to teaching at school and is not entirely implausible that she could have waited several months to do so; she went through a horrible experience, which must have taken quite a toll on her. Also, in "Child of the Moon", David says to Ruby, "A few months ago, everyone thought Mary Margaret was guilty of murder", which suggests that several months have passed since Mary Margaret's ordeal.
