Yup, I agree with most of what you said. Your theories are actually pretty close to my own. I'm not sure whether this 2016 plot line will last the entire season or just the first half, but I think it will go for at least the first half, and probably longer. Whether or not the timeshift is permanent, it is still a critical part of the season. And it could go both ways, too, depending on what Weisman and Vietti are trying to do. But like you, I am certain that this time-jump is not here to stay.
