In Episodes 7, 8 and 9 of _Maria-sama ga Miteru (Maria Watches Over Us)_ ,
they are set around Valentines Day. it's stated that at around this time Rosa
Chinensis (Yōko Mizuno), Rosa Gigantea (Sei Satō) and Rosa Foetida (Eriko
Torii) took their final exams and were waiting on their university selections
which Sei got hers first and got her first choice and their graduations
approching.

In Episodes 10 and 11 the events are set during Christmas where Sei's and
Shiori Kubo relationship is revealed. in one scene Sei's and her petite sœur
Shimako Tōdō are talking about Christmas and Sei makes reference to the
upcoming exams.

When i saw the preview for Episode 12 it seems to carry on from the last part
of Episode 9 with Yumi Fukuzawa and Sachiko Ogasawara are going on their date
they had planned after Valentines Day.

I am wondering, what exactly is the timeline?

question

What is the timeline for the first Season of Maria Watches Over Us?


The episode numbers relate to the order they were broadcast. chronologically
speaking in the series Episodes 7, 8 and 9 occur after Episodes 10 and 11 with
Episode 12 occurring after 9.

According to the linear notes in the bonus menu of the RightStuf DVD (Disk 3),
the Valentines Day Episodes were aired earlier as the initial broadcast date
for Episode 7 fell on/around February 14 which is Valentines Day.

Because the 3 Valentines Day Episodes are tightly connected together in terms
of plot they couldn't just broadcast episode 7 and be done with it so the 3
episodes was broadcast in sequence and 10 and 11 broadcast after before the
conclusion of the first season.
