The continuity on this series is horrible. They tend to reboot canon and retcon characters every volume, so just jump right in wherever you are. It won't make any more or less sense to you than to the rest of us.

Did you have your hair up or down? I want to be able to spot you, but I need a visual cue. I actually failed to recognize my own father once on one of those car shows on TLC, and he was in a good-sized interview segment where he was square on camera and talking and everything, and I even knew he was going to be in it. ::is oblivious::
