Chronology of events of season 1
I'll start with season 1 and post season 2 in a separate post, but I want to clarify something about season 1. There will be two dates for 2019 and 2020. The problem is that in the first season, if you look at the documents that were brought to the sheriff, then 2019 is indicated there, but already in the second season, JJ burned the year of John B’s “death” on the tree and this is 2020. because I understand the creators of the series decided to change the date from 2019 to 2020. Therefore, I will write here two dates 2019 and 2020. but you have to understand that the events of all 3 seasons took place in one year - 2020. There was no gap in years between the seasons. It was only in the finale of season 3 that there was a time skip of 18 months and season 4 is already taking place in 2022
can be usefull for understand what timeline in s4-5 So.

Conclusions that we can draw. It is said that Big John disappeared 9 months ago, which means that if you count from July a months ago, then John B's father disappeared somewhere in October or at the end of September. The birthday of Rafe, Sarah, Wheezie is exactly in the second half of the year. Moreover, we know that Kiara had a falling out with Sarah after Sarah's birthday, and from Pope's words, we learned that Kiara was still friends with the Kooks when Big John disappeared. So Sarah's bday was October - December.
