I'm curious how the previous episode relates to this one in the timeline.

For those unsure about the timeline, I wrote about it on a previous thread.

According to the Konohagakure Chronology, the timeline goes like this:

2 years after the war: The events of The Last take place. 3 years after the war: Boruto is born late in the year. 4 years after the war: Sarada, Mitsuki, etc. are born. 12 years after the war: Chapter 700 takes place. 15 years after the war: The events of Scarlet Spring take place. 16 years after the war: The events of Boruto: The Movie take place.

Based on Iwabee's statement in Episode 2, the events of the Academy Arc (Episodes 1-16) occur "just 10 years" after the war.

The events of the previous episode could have basically occured at any time between the Academy Arc and this episode. The events of this episode take place shortly before Chapter 700, indicating that 2 years have passed since the Ghost Incident. We also know that the next episode will be a timeskip as well, since the events of Scarlet Spring occur shortly before graduation.
