You mean the set dressing that was never supposed to be focused on? LOL Well then why does Heart Of Gold, which takes place just a week later at most, say Rumple is in the hospital on Christmas on his heart monitor? I personally don't put any stock in set dressing (like Regina calling her apples Honeycrisps, when they're actually Red Delicious), and will definitely take Adam's word over props that we weren't meant to focus on.

Actually, the form is seen in close-up, so we are clearly meant to focus on it. As for "Heart of Gold", we can assume that Gold and Robin Hood arrived in New York City a few weeks after they left - Gold does, after all, meet up with Ursula six weeks after he was banished, as seen in "Heroes and Villains".

Sunrose, you are free to believe whatever you want. But we will not add to the timeline that the story takes place in July 2013, just because Adam said so. The show clearly says something else. On this wiki, the show is the number one canon. When the writers or cast members say something that is contradicted by the show, we go with what the show says. The show trumps anything else. What you believe, is your business, but the wiki does not take Adam's word over the show. Period.
