In which two episodes of a series, usually (but not always) right next to each other in broadcast order, are shown by overlapping scenes to occur at the same time. At times has subtle differences based on which character is the focus in which episode, relating it to The Rashomon. Compare Arbitrarily Serialized Simultaneous Adventures, a Video Game-specific subtrope where the player can decide in which order to play through the synchronous levels. A more precise version of Simultaneous Arcs, as while that trope simply requires two stories to take place at the same time chronologically, this trope has said stories share the same scenes and/or related driving forces. Basically, a Simultaneous Arc story will have Alice and Bob doing something at the same time, but a Synchronous Episode story has things happen to either Alice or Bob based on the actions of the other (for example, Alice's plot is a Babysitting Episode with Bob's baby cousin, because Bob's plot has him too busy with important job interview that day to watch him). |

The Swamp Camp section in Dreamfall: The Longest Journey is seen through the eyes of all three protagonists, who arrive at different times but all come together by the time the Azadi troopers storm the camp. The visual clue and the synchronization point is the flare signal seen by every protagonist as they approach the pier. | |

Thomas & Friends: In Series 1, we first meet Toby the Tram Engine working on his branch line before it closes, then he gets a letter from Sir Topham Hatt. The next episode after this shows at the same time, Thomas was not allowed on the quarry tramroad because he doesn't have a cowcatcher nor sideplates, prompting Sir Topham Hatt to write said letter to him. In Series 19, despite airing in Anachronic Order, "No Help at All" indicates that it takes place at the same time as three other episodes: Salty is on loan to a dockyard on the mainland ("Salty All at Sea"). Mavis is under repairs at the Dieselworks, and Den is taking her place at the quarry ("Den & Dart"). Emily is under repair at the Steamworks ("Best Engine Ever"). |

There Was Once an Avenger From Krypton: Chapters 18 and 19 of Changing of the Guard and Chapter 28 of The Girl Who Could Knock Out The Hulk take place at the same time, covering Vilgax's invasion of Arcadia. The former is from the POV of Ben and his friends, while the latter is from the POV of the Avengers, even sharing some scenes and dialogue from different perspectives. Meanwhile, the first chapter of From His Vantage Upon the Moon shows Strange and Thor's meeting with the Olympians that they were tied up with while the Avengers were first setting out for California, and the fourth chapter shows Charlie and Bumblebee's group's reactions to the attack on the town. | |

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003) had a five-part storyline that focused on the turtles being sent to other realities that took place at the same time, with each episode spotlighting one turtle and the reality he'd been sent to. The first four even had the same opening scene, but taking place from the viewpoint of that episode's spotlight Turtle. The first focused on Michelangelo, the second on Raphael, the third on Donatello, and the fourth on Leonardo, with the fifth and final one showing the foursome getting back together and returning to their reality. | |

The spinoff Torchwood gets into the act as well, with "End of Days" leading directly into the Doctor Who episode "Utopia", and a flashback scene in "Fragments" taking place simultaneously with the 1996 Doctor Who TV movie. Also, there were three simultaneous Jack Harknesses in the UK at a few pointsnote 2006 Jack, dead 2009 Jack, and Ninth Doctor companion Jack in "Boom Town"; 1941 Jack, 2006 Jack, and dead 2009 Jack in "Captain Jack Harkness", but sadly we never see Jack interact with himself because 21st century Jack is aware of the implications of meeting his past self. | |

Iron Man 2: Scenes from The Incredible Hulk (2008) can be seen on a TV news report. This establishes that the events of the two films take place during roughly the same time frame. The post credits scene places the first Act of Thor as happening at the same time as both of the aforementioned films. |

The New Adventures of Invader Zim: Episode 7 of Season 1 is about Dib and Steve investigating a crashed Meekrob ship and fighting the Irkens for control of it, while Viera stays behind to hold down the fort. Episode 8 shows what she was up to during that time (mainly getting into a rivalry with Gaz). Episodes 8 and 9 of Season 2 are stated to take place at the same time, the latter showing what Dib and his friends got up to on Earth while Gaz and Nyx were on their road trip in space. |

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: The Grand Finale Siege of Mandalore arc ("Old Friends Not Forgotten", "The Phantom Apprentice", "Shattered", and "Victory and Death") overlaps with Revenge of the Sith. This is shown in the first episode by Anakin and Obi-Wan being called away to participate in the movie's opening battle over Coruscant and further demonstrated by Obi-Wan giving Ahsoka a sit-rep regarding what's happening on Coruscant, Ahsoka dropping in on a Jedi Council meeting, and — of course — "Execute Order 66". | |

The "zapping" system in Resident Evil 2 utilized this. Scenario A for Leon and Claire has them as Schrödinger's Player Character, where each goes through an exclusive series of events starting from the same pathway to the Police Station's front entrance, while the character not chosen takes an alternate route and is occasionally encountered throughout by the player. Once you've beaten Scenario A, Scenario B is unlocked for the character you didn't pick, and you get to play through what they were experiencing at the same time (i.e. Claire finds Leon walking out from a dead-end hallway in her Scenario A, while his Scenario B shows that he had just watched Sherry escape through a crawlspace in that corridor right before Claire entered the room). | |

Pretty much all over the place in Resident Evil 6 as some of the character stories take place at the same time with some of the characters running into each other during their missions. For example: Chris and Piers are on a mission in a European country dealing with bio-hazards and run into Sherry and Jake who are in the area trying to escape some pursuers, the latter offering some aid in fighting a monster. Later in the games Chris and Leon get into a little scuffle while trying to pursue who they think is Ada before being forced to split up. This is even shown from a gameplay perspective in whichever character's story you choose (which sadly is not skippable in certain gameplay parts). | |

Arthur: "Arthur's Baby" and "D.W.'s Baby" are paired episodes that both focus on Kate's 1st birthday. In "Arthur's Baby", Arthur recalls how he thought having a baby sister around would be a pain but grew to like Kate, and "D.W.'s Baby" is a flashback where D.W. feels that Kate is getting more attention than her. Consecutive season 3 episodes "Sue Ellen and the Brainasaurus" and "Arthur Goes Crosswire" both take place on the same day at school, where two classmates are paired to work together on a project about an animal. "Arthur Goes Crosswire" focuses on Arthur beginning to act conceited like Muffy after spending so much time with her, and "Sue Ellen and the Brainasaurus" is about Brain fearing any grade lower than an A and insisting to do all the work himself, refusing to let Sue Ellen help on what is supposed to be a group project. |

Phineas and Ferb has done a few episodes like this: In "Unfair Science Fair", Phineas and Ferb help Baljeet build a working portal to Mars for a science fair. In "Unfair Science Fair Redux", Candace walks through the portal while the boys are testing it and accidentally gets stranded when the portal breaks, forcing the boys to rescue her. "Bubble Boys" revolves around Phineas and Ferb making a super-durable bubble in which they and their friends can fly around, while "Isabella and the Temple of Sap" shows the crazy misadventures the Fireside Girls went through to get one of the ingredients for the bubble formula. "Bee Day" and "Bee Story" both take place at the same time, but the former mostly focuses on Dr. Doofenshmirtz's plot to control all the bees in the Tri-State Area, while the latter focuses on the Fireside Girls, who are off doing their own thing while Phineas and Ferb do their big project of the day. |

Two issues of Invincible depict Omni-Man telling his son about where he came from. The first time, he'd lied to him, and said his home planet Viltrum was a peaceful place, and that he'd been sent to keep order on Earth. The second time, he told the truth: He's a Galactic Conqueror, just one of millions in the Viltrumite horde. They both show the same setting (scenes on Viltrum share the same characters, but while they were all talking joyfully in the first story, they were fighting for supremacy in the second, etc.). In a neat bit of work with the medium, the second story is shown using basically the same page layouts as the first as well, making the distorted echo effect even more obvious. | |

Star vs. the Forces of Evil: "Starsitting" and "On the Job". The former recounts Star's adventures in babysitting for Buff Frog, while the latter shows what Buff Frog is up to in the meantime. "The Bogbeast of Boggabah" and "Total Eclipsa the Moon"; the former is purely comedic story that follows Star and her father King River on a hunting trip, while the latter has Queen Moon back at the castle following up on Star's wild claims about Miss Heinous being Queen Eclipsa's long-lost daughter Meteora. |

The two Lexx episodes "The Web" and "The Net" are particularly ingenious/egregious examples of this. The first episode sets up a mystery that's explained in the second, but in the process roughly 75% of the second episode consists of Stock Footage from the first. | |

The first few episodes of season 2 of Lost did this, with Jack, Kate, and Locke's entrances into the hatch playing out over the course of three episodes. Other episodes focus on the goings-on at certain parts of the island, with adjacent episodes showing the same time periods in different locales. The flashbacks of "House of the Rising Sun" and "...In Translation" are also synchronous. Those episodes aired half a season apart. Been happening a lot during Season 5 with its Time Travelling. Specifically in 'The Little Prince' and 'Do No Harm/Deus Ex Machina'. Recently 'Because You Left' and 'Follow the Leader' had the same scene from different perspectives too. |

Star Wars Resistance: The last four episodes of Season 1 — "The Disappeared", "Descent", "No Escape, Part I", "No Escape, Part II" — overlap with the events of The Force Awakens. At one point, Kaz and Torra spy on some stormtroopers watching a broadcast of the speech General Hux gives in the movie before Starkiller Base fires on the Hosnian System. The first episodes of Season 2, starting with "Into the Unknown", overlap with the Sequel Trilogy as well, continuing into the timeframe of The Last Jedi. "A Quick Salvage Run" has the Colossus arrive at D'Qar and find the wreckage of the battle that opens the movie. |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Two books — A Feast For Crows and the first volume of A Dance with Dragons — overlap in time, each following half of the POV character cast. George Martin initially drafted them as one single book but then it occurred to him he had written far too much for a single book; the two books are divided not chronologically but geographically. An author's note reveals that a less dramatic version of this was also the case with the second book, A Clash of Kings, and the third, A Storm of Swords: the beginning of Storm overlaps with the end of Clash. |

The Leverage episodes "The Girls' Night Out Job" and "The Boys' Night Out Job" happen simultaneously, the former following Sophie, Parker, and Tara as they investigate a thief who's trying to steal secrets from the Venezuelan government and sell them to the highest bidder, the latter following Nathan, Hardison, and Eliot as they try to help out a former mark turned good who's inadvertently gotten roped into what appears to be a drug smuggling plot (again). The finale season also included a pair of episodes where Elliot, Hardison, and Parker get drawn into foiling a terrorist plot in D.C. while Nate and Sophie are off taking care of some personal business (and end up having to match wits with Sterling again). |

SpongeBob SquarePants: Done in season 12 episodes "Swamp Mates" and "One Trick Sponge." "Swamp Mates" has a scene with Bubble Bass and Patrick trying to escape from a pack of gators, while sister episode "One Trick Sponge" shows Sandy in an alternate dimension investigating the very same swamp, complete with Bubble Bass and Patrick in the background being chased. "Swamp Mates" was a dream that was also in a storybook, so the alternate dimension Sandy was exploring must have been some kind of 'dream' dimension. | |

The former has Spike trying to watch the Mane Six's pets, while latter covers what the girls where doing at that time (going to the Crystal Empire to check on preparations for the Equestria Games). Happened again in season 5, with "Made in Manehattan" and "Brotherhooves Social". In the former, Applejack and Rarity are called to Manehattan and as such neither pony can take part in the Sisterhooves Social with their little sisters. The latter episode shows what happened during the Sisterhooves Social while Applejack and Rarity were absent. |

Doctor Who, being a time travel series, occasionally has the TARDIS land in a time period the audience has already seen it land in before. A famous early example is "The War Machines" and "The Faceless Ones" both taking place in London on the same day. The spinoff Torchwood gets into the act as well, with "End of Days" leading directly into the Doctor Who episode "Utopia", and a flashback scene in "Fragments" taking place simultaneously with the 1996 Doctor Who TV movie. Also, there were three simultaneous Jack Harknesses in the UK at a few pointsnote 2006 Jack, dead 2009 Jack, and Ninth Doctor companion Jack in "Boom Town"; 1941 Jack, 2006 Jack, and dead 2009 Jack in "Captain Jack Harkness", but sadly we never see Jack interact with himself because 21st century Jack is aware of the implications of meeting his past self. In the other spinoff Class (2016), the episodes "Detained" and "The Metaphysical Engine, or What Quill Did" happen simultaneously, with the first following all the regular characters other than Quill and the second only featuring her. |

EastEnders once depicted a two-hander featuring Peggy and Pat at Pat's house which ended with their fight being interrupted by a ringing doorbell. The following episode was another two-hander featuring Pat's husband Roy and Peggy's fiance Frank (who was also Pat's ex husband). The plots of the two episodes came together at the end when Frank and Roy returned to Pat's house and and rang the doorbell just as Peggy and Pat's fight from the previous episode was in full flow. | |

The next episode takes place at the exact same time, but from the perspective of the people on the Basestar. Notably, we see the aftermath of the Battle of the Resurrection Hub before we see the actual battle. The movies. Razor shows what the Pegasus crew were doing between the Cylon attack and meeting up with Galactica. The Plan shows the first two seasons from the perspective of the Cylons. Both movies and the series show different parts of the Cylon attack. |

The Book of Boba Fett juggles two timelines. Flashbacks show Boba escaping from the Sarlaac Pit and befriending the Tuskens of the Dune Sea, making it synchronous with the events of Return of the Jedi. The present day events take place after he recovers his armor from Din in the first season of The Mandalorian and appears to overlap significantly with the second season of the latter show. The second half of the former essentially becomes season 2.5 of the latter. | |

Technically different shows, but one episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer showed Spike's victory over his first Slayer and Angel congratulating him. Then the episode of Angel shown immediately afterward revealed that Angel had his soul at the time, and the tone of his congratulation took on a very different interpretation. The same two episodes also showed the day Spike was first sired. In the Buffy episode after being humiliated minutes earlier a pre-vamped Spike was shown running into trio of strangers and bitterly told them to watch where they were going, and then the Angel one revealed it was Angelus, Darla, and Drusilla he had run across, and, as they have at that very moment just agreed to let Dru sire a companion for herself, she almost immediately chose to turn him (as Angel mocks her for picking literally the first idiot to bump into her as her eternal companion). |

The entire fourth disk of Wolf's Rain is just four recap episodes, each rehashing the plot up to that point, each from the point of view of a different character. There are a few additional or revised scenes, so watching those episodes might not be a complete waste of time... | |

The first chapter of Gears of War 3 is split into two segments that happen concurrently and focus around defeating a Lambent Leviathan. The first half is played by Marcus, Dom, Anya, and Jace as they defend the Raven's Nest and use it to push the Leviathan under a bridge. The second half is played by Cole, Baird, Clayton Carmine, and Sam as they locate and deploy a sufficient explosive at the Leviathan from atop the bridge to, as Cole puts it "blow its brains out its ass." | |

Code Prime - R2: Revolution does this a couple of times: The bulk of A Measure of Trust and Nerves of Steel (Chapters 2 and 3) happen simultaneously. Chapters 18 through 25 all take place at the same time, as the Autobots and Black Knights, and the Decepticons, divide their forces to search for the Iacon relics. |

Mekakucity Actors: Episodes 2 and 3 introduce and expand on the story of Shintaro's sister, Momo, and also explains the presence of Kano, Seto and Kido during the action sequence at the end of Episode 1. After they're both shown alive... briefly at the end of Episode 5, it becomes clear that the events surrounding Hibiya and Hiyori in Episode 4's second half are happening off-screen while Ene is telling everyone else her back story in Episodes 6 and 7. | |

Like most gaming groups on the site, the Whartson Hall Gamers at RPGMP3 usually play (and record for upload) one game at a time. However, they once played a pair of games (Cold City and Traveller) in two separate groups, with two separate recorders, in the same room. The games have nothing to do with each other, except for once in a while when an in-joke gets shouted across the room. | |

How I Met Your Mother does this a lot, but usually so subtly you don't catch it the first time. The most obvious is in season three with the episode "Ten Sessions" (with references to other episodes that already had or were going to happen during those ten weeks) but a particularly brilliant usage comes at the end of season two when Ted and Robin secretly break up three episodes before the wedding, but decide not to tell anyone until after the wedding. The story of the breakup is told in flashback, but is obviously happening at the same time as a previous episode, with many references back and forth. The season 1 episode Life Among the Gorillas ends with Robin giving Ted what amounts to a booty call. The next episode Nothing Good Happens After 2 A.M. starts with showing what she was up to during the previous episode, detailing the emotionally draining day (including coaching Ted on his girlfriend problems) that led to her making that call. Not actually different episodes, but there's one episode where the same central events are shown from the perspective of three different people in succession (in a non-"Rashomon"-Style way). They frequently intersect, but each portion gives a little more context to the overall story, so that in the third retelling it finally becomes clear why a man in a flaming beekeeper's outfit runs through the party (and who it is), and the story continues forward from there. |

ElfQuest does this with two entire subseries, Shards and the latter part of Hidden Years (featuring different characters and locations). The two series don't technically share scenes, but there is a lot of overlap, with characters in the one story learning about what happened to their friends in the other. In the European version, they were published together in extra thick comic books which contained one episode of each, happening simultaneously. | |

In The Moomins, the last two novels, Moominpappa At Sea and Moominvalley In November, take place simultaneously. The first has Moominpappa dragging the whole family away from their home to a lighthouse, while the second shows what happens in their usual neighbourhood when they aren't there. | |

Episodes of Sgt. Frog usually have two separate 11-minute stories, but episode 44 involved two concurrent stories. The first story has Keroro and Fuyuki competing in various winter sports while mysterious accidents occur, and the second shows that all the accidents were caused by Aki and Kululu testing out a giant robot. | |

In the Dragonriders of Pern series, Dragonsong and Dragonsinger, the first two books in the Harpers subseries, are set simultaneous with Dragonquest, the second book in the main series. Dragonsong shows the Hatching where Jaxon Impresses Ruth from Menolly's perspective, and Dragonsinger is connected to Dragonquest's climax. | |

The OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes episodes "Villains' Night Out" and "Villains' Night In" take place on the same night, with the beginning of the former and the ending of the latter tying the story together. "Villains' Night Out" is about Lord Boxman and Professor Venomous going to a party. "Villains' Night In" is about Darrell and Shannon, two of Lord Boxman's robot minions/children, babysitting Professor Venomous's minion/daughter, Fink, while Venomous and Boxman are at the party. | |
