January 2010
Edit
Soledad Marquesa begins his hunt for the Coins of Zakynthos. ("Three Coins in a Fuchsbau")
May 2011
Edit

September 10, 2011
Edit
"Pilot" begins during the school year.
September 12, 2011
Edit
Full moon. "Pilot" ends and "Bears Will Be Bears" begins.
September 15-22, 2011
Edit
Marie is buried on an unknown date, ending "Bears Will Be Bears".
"Beeware" and "Lonelyhearts" happen. In "Beeware", Melissa Wincroft warns that the reaper in "Lonelyhearts" will arrive soon. "Beeware" spans two full days (morning to evening). "Lonelyhearts" spans three days (evening to daylight), and the foreshadowed reaper arrives.
September 22-26, 2011
Edit
"Danse Macabre" spans five days (evening to evening), and the November 11th date is shown on a cell phone. Interestingly, however, September 22nd shows on Sarah's phone. Based on Wu's comment the following morning that the concert is scheduled for "Saturday" rather than "today", the November date is incorrect. Nick meets Bud. Renard gets Adalind to seduce Hank for the first time. The September 26th date is shown on a cell phone on the final evening. ("Danse Macabre")
October 11-13, 2011
Edit
"The Three Bad Wolves". Date given away by a full moon on October 12th.
December 8-11, 2011
Edit
"Let Your Hair Down" occurs before Christmas, as indicated by Monroe's decorating. We know Monroe celebrates Thanksgiving ("Bears Will Be Bears"), so this must be in December. The moon is full on the third night, which is December 10th. Bud and his friends spy on Nick's home on December 9th.
January-February 2012
Edit
"Game Ogre" spans three days (night to morning). "Of Mouse and Man" spans three (night to night). "Organ Grinder" spans four days (night to night). Lack of Christmas decoration in Monroe's home indicates it's no longer December.
February 10-13, 2012
Edit
"Tarantella". The date is shown on a security camera film.
Mid-February to Mid-July
Edit
"Last Grimm Standing" spans three days (night to night). Nick and Juliette celebrate their 3-year anniversary on the third evening, shortly after the end of the episode.
Late February 2012
Edit
The Dragon's Tongue stirs up trouble in Berlin. ("Woman in Black")
March 10-12, 2012
Edit
"Three Coins in a Fuchsbau" spans three days (night to night) 2.5 months before Kimura is found.
Between March 10 and July 2012
Edit
These episodes span under 2.5 months. ("Woman in Black")
Kimura wastes three days with Farley Kolt in Los Angeles. ("Woman in Black")
"Plumed Serpent" spans three days (night to night).
"Island of Dreams" spans three days (night to night).
"The Thing With Feathers" spans two days (Friday afternoon to Saturday night).
"Love Sick" spans at least three days (daylight to night).
"Cat and Mouse" spans three days (night to night).
"Leave It to Beavers", "Happily Ever Aftermath", and "Big Feet" also happen during this time period.
Mid July 2012
Edit
Season 2 begins. "Bad Teeth" begins, showing a ship parting from Port Havre on which a Mauvais Dentes stowed away to Portland. Episode cuts and picks up ten days later.
Late July 2012
Edit
"Woman in Black" begins. On the final of these three evenings, a massacre occurs on the ship, and then Kimura is apprehended. ("Bad Teeth") Season 1 ends.
"Bad Teeth" continues from a few minutes prior to the end of "Woman in Black", replaying the entire final scene in fast motion. In all, "Bad Teeth" spans 11 nonconsecutive days. Without the short scene at the beginning, the rest spans two days (late night to early evening).
"The Kiss" begins where "Bad Teeth" left off and spans two days (early evening to late evening).
August 1, 2012
Edit
"Bad Moon Rising" ends. Nick's dialogue with Juliette sets the date shy of a year after "Pilot", and the full-moon plot element sets the date with precision. This directly supports the dates in "Three Coins in a Fuchsbau" and the dialogue from "Woman in Black", confirming the chronological discontinuity of a prop from "Woman in Black".
April 19, 2013
Edit
"Volcanalis" starts. The date from the video Jill Prembrey made at Mount Hood sets the date.
Discontinuities
Edit
- A trailer released during the off-season indicates only six months occurred between "Pilot" and "Woman in Black".
- The intro to "Bad Teeth" indicates 8 months passed from "Pilot" to "Woman in Black".
- Dates shown on props throughout season 1 span 13 months, showing starting dates in September 2011 and ending dates in October 2012, though the dialogue and plot elements push the end date forward to a better-supported ending date in late July 2012. ("Three Coins in a Fuchsbau") ("Woman in Black") ("Bad Moon Rising")
- "Danse Macabre" shows a date in November followed by a date in September.
- "Woman in Black" shows October dates in July.
