Nakia Bahadir starts wearing a Hijab, hoping that it will get the people who say she is too white or too ethnic to stop bothering her. It causes her parents to begin struggling to accept her. She comes to realize she feels like herself when wearing it, and that other people's opinions do not matter.[4][5]
Talos puts out a call for the remaining Skrulls in need of a home to find a home on Earth, hoping for Skrulls and humans to be able to coexist. Every single Skrull who does not already live in Dro'ge's colony answers the call. As a result, one million Skrulls live on Earth.[10][11]
Lopez arrives and feels the vibrations caused by the massacre. She looks through the window, witnessing Ronin using his sword to kill a man. She ducks down and watches as Ronin kills two more people.[2][29]
Lopez kicks down the door and walks into the repair shop, where she sees Ronin driving his sword into William Lopez' chest. As Ronin escapes through the window, Maya sits next to her father and holds onto him in his final moments. William begs Maya to run away and get to safety before dying in his daughter's arms, but Maya refuses to leave. William tells her to fly away and cups his daughter's cheek as he dies. Maya hugs her father and cries.[2][29]
Maya Lopez stands over her father's grave when she gets a text from cousin, Bonnie, telling her she does not need to go through her pain alone. Lopez ignores this and walks away.[19][29]
August[]
Nakia Bahadir begins puberty and starts developing breasts, furthering her parents' struggle to accept her.[4][31]
Maya Lopez breaks into the MM Motorcycle Showroom and attempts to steal one of the motorcycles as the alarms blare. She notices the flashing lights of New York City Police Department cars behind her and stops, turning around to face them. She calmly takes out her hair tie and wraps it around the handle of the motorcycle. Once she removes her hands, the motorcycle drives forward, crashing through the window and into a police car. The officers run to her, ordering her to get on the ground.[19][29]
Hearing of Lopez's arrest, Kingpin gets driven to the crime scene and steps out. He then walks towards Lopez, where he is told by an officer to step back. However, Kingpin keeps walking as another officer asks his colleague if he knows who it is. Fisk then grabs Lopez and takes her away from police custody as the officers stand and watch.[19][29]
In the car, Fisk tells Lopez that he is growing concerned for her. Lopez is fed his words through an American Sign Language translator. Fisk remarks that they all mourn her father and he understands her rage. Lopez questions Fisk, who reveals that when he was twelve, his father was killed. He asks her to let him help release her rage in a more constructive way by having her work for him.[19][29]
15th[]
Knowing of a meeting between criminals, Daredevil begins staking out of a facility.[19][29]
Maya Lopez walks into a warehouse where employees are cleaning up the remnants of a party. She then approaches Davy, who talks to Edgar about how he is annoyed they have to babysit Lopez. The trio walk towards a security guard, saying that they are there for the meeting. The guard is skeptical, but lets them through after checking for weapons. While checking Lopez, he starts groping her, prompting Lopez to lash out and pin him to the wall. The trio then go to the meeting.[19][29]
Now in the hallway, Edgar tries to explain how they are going to take care of the gangs moving in on Fisk's territories. When Edgar realizes that Lopez is deaf, he simply uses hand motions to say that they are going in, killing, and leaving.[19][29]
Responding to Edgar's knock, the two guards behind the door see Edgar telling them that Kingpin thanks one for their loyalty. The loyal guard promptly kills the other and lets them through, giving Edgar his gun. Edgar goes left while Lopez and Davy follow the guard on the right. As they approach the meeting, the guard tells them that he has two more. The man at the door gets confused before Edgar kills him, allowing Davy a clear shot to jump into the door, knocking it down. A fight then ensues[19][29]
At first, Lopez watches as the groups tussle. Then one enemy charges at Lopez, tackling her. Lopez gains the upper hand and snaps the man's neck before fully joining the fight. She kicks a chair at a guard before taking care of two more at once. Lopez is suddenly picked up by the legs and tackled by the guard who groped her. Lopez acknowledges the man before easily taking care of him. Davy compliments her.[19][29]
Suddenly, a billy club flies in out of nowhere, knocking Davy down. Daredevil then reveals himself, jumping down to fight Edgar. Once he is disposed of, Daredevil attacks Lopez. He walks over to her, talking about how he was watching all night and they ruined his efforts. The two fight as Daredevil is able to dislodge Lopez's prosthetic leg. Lopez then uses the whiplash caused by popping it back in to kick Daredevil.[19][29]
They fight some more until Edgar appears, attacking Daredevil. Using this window of opportunity, Lopez grabs a shotgun and shoots at Daredevil, who dodges the blast with a spin. Daredevil then jumps through a shelf and uses his billy club to disarm Lopez. They continue some more until Daredevil drops a shelf on her and leaves. Lopez breaks free and grabs a gun, only to find that Daredevil is gone.[19][29]
At Wilson Fisk's Penthouse, he talks to Lopez, applauding her for keeping up with Daredevil. He then asks if Lopez felt good, being able to let go of her anger. She says it helped immensely. Fisk tells her she now has a place and purpose with him as they are family no matter what. Lopez thanks the man she sees as her uncle.[19][29]
Kingpin tells Maya Lopez how he exercised all of his assets to bring Ronin to justice. Lopez tells him that when he finds Ronin, he is hers. Fisk agrees.[19][29]
November[]
28th[]
At dinner with Maya Lopez, Wilson Fisk holds up his glass, toasting to Lopez's final lesson, confusing Lopez. Speaking through an American Sign Language interpreter Fisk tells her that although they will still have their Sunday dinners, her tutelage has come to an end and she is ready to move from the theoretical to the practical. Fisk then says that they can only trust each other and that that is her final lesson.[30][29]
Fisk then dismisses the ASL interpreter. The interpreter walks into a hallway to find the walls draped with covering. She pleads for her life, but is executed. Meanwhile, Fisk eats his dinner as if nothing is wrong.[30][29]
30th[]
Chula Battiest brings her sewing machine to Skully's Pawn Shop. Skully cleans and oils the sewing machine, but suspects that Battiest would return for it. So, he wraps the machine in a blanket and decides not to sell it.[35][36]
↑ 1.01.11.21.31.41.51.61.71.8Sometimes the Marvel Cinematic Universe alludes to events that happened in our world, and it is assumed they happen on the same dates in the universe, for timeline purposes.
↑In Crushed, Nakia Bahadir says, "Between the hijab and the girlies, my parents can barely make eye contact with me anymore." The order in which Bahadir says the problems makes it appear as though Bahadir started wearing the hijab before she started puberty. With that event approximated to August 2021 (see other references), Bahadir can be taken to have started wearing the hijab within the year leading up to them, the midpoint of which is February 2021.
↑In The Daily Bugle, Cammie Conroy says that she was watching the second Extreme Measures movie during the Snap on May 31, 2018 (see 2018 references) and that the fourth movie was playing when she reappeared in the Blip on October 17, 2023 (see 2023 references). The third movie was likely released during this time, so the midpoint can be taken. With most movies being released on a Friday, the release can be moved to the nearest Friday: February 5, 2021.
↑In New World Order, Sam Wilson says that Sarah Wilson "tangled the house into [their financial struggles] when you took those loans." This was a decision made without Sam, so it likely happened during the five years in which Sam was a victim of the Snap. With Sam's death dated to May 31, 2018 (see 2018 references), and his return dated to October 17, 2023 (see 2023 references), this decision can be approximated to the middle of these dates, February 6, 2021.
↑In Promises, Fury suggests that Talos did not contact Fury following the Blip "because you didn't want me to know" about the million Skrulls living on Earth. This suggests that Talos sent out the call during the five years between the Snap on May 31, 2018 (see 2018 references) and the Blip (see 2023 references). The midpoint of these dates, February 6, 2021, can be approximated as when Talos sent out the call.
↑In Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Nicodemus West says "While I was gone, thank you for asking, I lost both my cats... and my brother." This presents the brother's death as having been after the cats' deaths. The second cat's death is approximated to June 10, 2018 (see 2018 references), and West was resurrected in the Blip on October 17, 2023 (see 2023 references). West's brother's death can be approximated to the midpoint of these dates, February 11, 2021.
↑In Partners, Am I Right?, a flashback is shown to Ronin killing several people near a car. Clint Barton's time operating as Ronin can be approximated to have started after Thanos was killed in June 2018 (see 2018 references) and ended when he was recruited by Natasha Romanoff to help with the Time Heist on October 11, 2023 (see 2023 references). The Ronin attack shown in Partners, Am I Right? can be approximated to the midpoint of this time, February 14, 2021.
↑In Destined, Carrelli says on October 1, 2025 (see 2025 references) that he read a paper by Erik Selvig. The paper being published is approximated to November 21, 2016 (see 2016 references). Carrelli reading the paper can therefore be approximated to the midpoint of these dates, April 27, 2021.
↑In Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Chen is described as "a valet driver with an honors degree from Berkeley." Xu Shang-Chi is shown wearing a shirt saying "CLASS OF '17," which means that Chen would have graduated college in 2021. In 2021, University of California, Berkeley held their graduation on May 15. It can therefore be taken that Chen graduated on May 15, 2021.
↑In What We're Fighting For, flashbacks are shown of Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons' life following their move to Theta Serpentis on July 4, 2019 (see 2019 references). They spent 4 years together, suggesting they jumped back in time around July 2023. It can be taken as a specific 4 years, so roughly July 4, 2023, or a more general "2023 - 2019 = 4", so any time in 2023 (approximating with mid-year). Putting more weight on the more specific, it can be approximated to July 3, 2023. This is suitable, given Leo and Simmons have been celebrating Alya's birthday, and if they have traveled a near exact number of years, this means Alya's birthday aligns closely with the date on which she becomes a year older, simplifying her birthday. Harlow Happy Hexum was 4 years and 10 months old during filming, suggesting Alya is around 4 in the 2023 and returned-to-2019 scenes, and 5 in the following 2020 epilogue scene. However, Alya was conceived no earlier than July 2019, meaning she was born no earlier than early 2020, thus maximum 3. So, for her to be as close as realistically possible to 4, she should indeed be born in early/mid-2020. On average, a pregnant woman finds out they are pregnant about 245 days days before birth. In Brand New Day, a flashback is shown to just after Simmons has found out she is pregnant, and is implied to have been a while after they began their work. Assuming it is at least 3 months, but taking it as no more than 3 months due to wanting to maximize Alya's age, that scene may be approximated to October 4, 2019, and thus Simmons finding out her pregnancy around October 1, 2019, finally therefore meaning Alya was born around early June 2020 (roughly June 2nd). This is suitable, as in What We're Fighting For it is seemingly implied in July that her birthday has been in recent month. It can be assumed that Fitz starting to study the Time Stream is July 5, 2019, and then the scenes of the montage shown between then and the scene approximated to October 4, 2019 can be evenly distributed to July 23rd, August 10th, August 29th, and September 16th. At some point between July 5, 2019 and July 3, 2023 during the studying of the Time Stream, Fitz finds out about Kora's importance and the team being together for the final time in the speakeasy. This may be approximated to the midpoint, July 2021. Simmons appears to be about a month from birth when Leo makes her the tea, so roughly May 2, 2020. Alya appears to be about 4 months old as the family watch a film, suggesting it is around October 2-November 1, 2020, so October 17, 2020. She is about the same age when they look at the stars together as when they time travel back to 2019, so this can be taken to be shortly before in 2023 - around a week prior, so June 26, 2023.
↑ 29.0029.0129.0229.0329.0429.0529.0629.0729.0829.0929.1029.1129.1229.1329.1429.1529.1629.1729.1829.1929.2029.21In Never Meet Your Heroes, on December 19, 2024 (see 2024 references), Pat Kiernan says, “This is the first potential sighting of the Ronin in years.” In Partners, Am I Right?, on December 22, 2024 (see 2024 references), Clint Barton says to Kazi Kazimierczak, “Look, you've been working under William Lopez as a lieutenant for, what, for four years? And now under Maya for a few more years.” “A few” means around three to four, but Barton's language implies Kazimierczak has been working for Maya for less time than he did with William, meaning ideally less than four years. So, Maya taking charge, and therefore her father's death, can be approximated to have happened ideally no more than 3.5 years before this line is said, so around June 2021, which fits with Kiernan's line about him not being in New York “in years” by December 2024. In Chafa and throughout the rest of Echo, several flashbacks are shown of Maya Lopez's life following the massacre, the last of which chronologically shows “2021” on-screen text at the start. In the flashback in which Lopez fights Daredevil, the song “Chitty Bang” by Leikeli47 plays, which first released on August 13, 2021, placing that flashback after August 13, 2021. In the flashback in which Lopez steals a motorcycle, Wilson Fisk claims that stealing was a pattern of behavior which Lopez had developed since her father's death, implying that some time has passed. Her fight with Daredevil is referred to as Lopez's first test, and her flashback in Taloa, with the on-screen text, is referred to as her last, implying considerable time between these scenes. It is also confirmed in this flashback that each dinner is on a Sunday. To allow for all this, including Barton's and Kiernan's lines, to be true, these events can be distributed so that the Massacre of the Tracksuit Mafia is as early as possible, July 10, 2021, placing the motorcycle theft through the fight with Daredevil on August 14-15, 2021, Lopez firing a gun at an airport on September 19, 2021, the second dinner scene in Chafa on October 24, 2021, and the Taloa dinner scene on November 28, 2021. Funerals happen on average five days after death, so William Lopez's funeral can be approximated to July 15, 2021.
↑In Crushed, Nakia Bahadir says, "Between the hijab and the girlies, my parents can barely make eye contact with me anymore." Girls in the United States tend to begin puberty at approximately 12.3 years old. Bahadir's birth is approximated to May 2009 (see 2000s references), placing this event in approximately August 2021.
↑In The Daily Bugle, Theo Boskowtiz says that his mother remarried during his father's time being dead due to Thanos' Snap on the reasoned date May 31, 2018 (see 2018 references). Allowing Boskowtiz's mother approximately one year to mourn her husband and find a new partner, they would have gotten married between May 31, 2019 and Boskowtiz's father's return on October 17, 2023 (see 2023 references). The wedding can therefore be taken to have occurred on the midpoint of these dates, August 2021.
↑In Spider-Man: Far From Home, the film The Snap is shown to exist by June 27, 2024 (see 2024 references). This would be made after the events of May 31, 2018 (see 2018 references). It would take at least half a year to have been released, meaning it was released between November 30, 2018 and June 27, 2024. So, its release may be approximated to the midpoint of September 13, 2021. With most films releasing on a Friday, it may be approximated to the nearest Friday: September 10, 2021.
↑In Maya, Chula Battiest says that she brought in her sewing machine "a few years" prior to May 17, 2025 (see 2025 references). "A few" typically refers to around three or four, so a weighted calculation would place the event on June 1 in either 2021 or 2022. The midpoint of these dates, November 30, 2021, can be approximated as when Battiest brought in the sewing machine.
↑In Chafa, Henry Lopez says about Vickie Tyson on May 8, 2025, "He's a pain my ass, but he's worked for me many years." The earliest Lopez could be referring to is July 16, 2021, when Lopez was forced to move back to Tamaha and work at his skate rink. The latest is exactly three years prior to Lopez's line being said, the absolute minimum that "many" can refer to, May 8, 2022. Taking the midpoint of these dates, Tyson can be approximated to have started working with Lopez on December 11, 2021.
