Where are my 2022 gridgate bylers at? yall remember this?

This is what the writers posted when they were beginning the writing process and they went on to fill in the squares later. Now that we're after ep 4, I'm wondering if that double line between 4 and 5 does mean something, other than the break between volumes? I guess that's all it might signify. But could it be something else? could we be getting something IN BETWEEN the volumes?

Or, could it signify that we're getting some flashback scenes before Episode 5? Flashback to somewhere in the 18 month time jump to show us what the fuck Mike did? Or all the way back to the end of S4 to show a break up of a certain couple that has already happened, but they haven't shown us, the audience yet?

We have had so many byler gates that I’ve lost count, so could you people help me?

Flickergate (Byler kiss in UD, when lights flickered in wheeler’s garage in s1)

Birthdaygate (the theories about Will’s birthday)

Twelvegate (Will being 012)

Scriptgate (August 5th you will always be famous but I hope you weren’t)

Mikhailgate (Enzo’s son being shipped with Will)

Gridgate (The smudge in the s5 whiteboard)

Pocketgate (Mike’s pocket that looked like an envelope)

Lettergate (Mike’s unsent letter(s) to Will)

Mattduffersbasementgate (Noah and Finn being held there so they wouldn’t spoil byler endgame)

What did I forget?

[nowmemories]

ok so here's my little analysis

first, I tried to identify what looked the most like drawings instead of words or phrases

OPEN THE PICS FOR A BETTER QUALITY

then I wrote some key words to find

and I separated the grid pic in parts so it would be easier to look

the words between () are key names and words from the list

episodes 3-6

episodes 7-8

the way almost all of episode 7 was previously censored means that there's something huge in there. It's definitely the most important episode of the season. It was a seven.

episodes 1-3 (second half)

there's no way I could analyse the first half of episodes 1-3 so it's up to you

funfact: There's no phrase that looks like "mike and el" lmao
