Yeah, I think I did a silent dance of joy in my chair when he entered quoting (iirc) the caterpillar.

I ask because in the party episode, Bayville students "Risty" and "Arcade" see pics of the new recruits when Webber hacks Cerebro, and they don't recognise them. (Meanwhile, they're all at the party upstairs.) It struck me as weird.

eta: I'll add this to my OP, too, but in "African Storm" it's pretty sure that at that point the new kids are at the Institute while the others are at school.
