Apple's new mystery thriller series Disclaimer is told over several overlapping timelines that combine into one overarching story. Cate Blanchett leads a talented ensemble cast of Disclaimer as Catherine Ravenscroft, a hard-working and acclaimed television documentary journalist out of London, England. Catherine's world unravels once a mysterious novel titled The Perfect Stranger arrives at her doorstep, bringing up memories of one of her deepest and darkest secrets.

The first two episodes of Disclaimer show how Catherine spots Jonathan snapping photos of her at the beach while also revealing where Jonathan's roll of film ended up going after the beach encounter in Italy. Jonathan is mesmerized by Catherine but works up the courage to run after her and a 4-year-old Nicholas as they leave the beach.

This scene clearly takes place after Jonathan's death but still long before the main events of the series since it is established that Nancy died nine years before the present-day timeline. This scene could have taken place just a few years after Jonathan's funeral or potentially as many as 10 years since Nancy is dying from cancer but still wrapped in grief about her son.

Stephen begins to plot out his revenge against Catherine after discovering the manuscript for The Perfect Stranger and the photographs of Young Catherine Jonathan had taken nearly two decades before. Because of how much emphasis Nancy places on Catherine for Jonathan's death, and how adamant Stephen is about exacting his revenge against Catherine, it's reasonable to infer that Jonathan never made it home from Italy and that Catherine could have been the last person to see him alive.
