Season 3 is now out on Netflix and the Family Channel app. (Family Channel won't be airing it until Monday, don't know about ABC Australia yet, while NickNight in German speaking countries is still on season 13 or 14)

A LOT happens in 10 episodes. We also get one cameo from previous seasons. The aftermath of last season's finale is done in the first minute of the premiere via a montage of social media posts.

There's also a lot of rehashes of previous plots/scenes that The N was famous for editing out, but taking it much further. (Tents, spots, chicken, termination)

(On a side note, has anyone figured out what year we're in, with all the doubling up from previous years, shouldn't it be like 2010 or something before Syrian refugees and #BlackLivesMatter was a thing)
