The following timeline provides a chronological list of each of the flashbacks from the of Forever Knight, with a few additional dates for which there is evidence. While most screenshots in the timeline below will clearly illustrate the approximate date in question, some cannot because the dates are merely referenced in the course of characters conversing. When no associated flashback screenshot clearly demonstrates the date in question, preference has been given to a screenshot in the episode where the date is mentioned in conversation.
