Episodes unknowingly taking place during another

[FirePuppy 739]

Anyone know of any episodes that may potentially take place during another one at the same time? Usually, it can happen if all the characters in one episode DON'T appear in the other.

 

Now, technically, there aren't any in the first era (Seasons 1-4) because in that era, the Mane Six made a lot more screen time than in the new era (Season 5 onwards). I know Season 3's Just for Sidekicks and Games Ponies Play won't count because we know those two episodes took place at the same time.

 

The Gift of the Maud Pie and On Your Marks could've been a good example if Sweetie Belle hadn't mentioned Rarity too much, but still, it wouldn't count anyways.

 

One possible good example would be The Times They Are a Changeling and Buckball Season, as there are no background ponies in the Changeling episode, and Twilight was the only Mane Six pony there.

I've been trying to put the 1st 3 season episodes in chronological order.  Hasbro says they take place over 1 year & that is a lot easier if you assume most of the CMC episodes take place while something else is going on.  For example, Ponyville Confidential covers many issues of the school paper.  It's probably a weekly newspaper & covers 2 months.  There are probably several ep​isodes that take place during that time.

You forget "Made in Manehatten" and "Brotherhooves Social" also take place at the same time.

I think that was mentioned in the opening post but I did forget that one.
