How could seasons work on satellites?

This is a followup to my previous question concerning the potential orbits. I've decided on a barycenter with each body in its own orbit--the primary planet having the center orbit, the first moon having the second outermost orbit, and the second having the farthest orbit; none of them form an eccentric orbit. With that established:

Each moon has its own respective properties: one takes four 40-day months (one month per season) to complete a full orbit and is tidally locked, while the other has twelve 40-day months (three months per season) and is not tidally locked. I'm unsure about how exactly the "dark sides" work, but is this setup plausible? If so, can both moons have seasons based on their phases?
