Yes he is, in that replay comes post bomb. A few things too remember about the stages are that they don't go 2,3,4,5 they can repeat themselves or happen two or three at a time. Also the timeline in HB's posting have nothing to do with reality. She was totally guessing when she wrote down each time.
My point is that the can move past replay and then go back into it, which is the "scary part"
