## Notes

1. ↑ It is presumable that *Lost & Found Music Studios* is set in Toronto, where *The Next Step* is set. John has been seen driving before (in the episode, "Invincible"); and, in Toronto, to drive, one must be at least sixteen years old, meaning that 16 is the minimum age that John could be. In a synopsis of the show, it states that the Lost & Found Music Studios musicians are in high school, in which people are between 14 and 18 years old, meaning that this is the maximum age that John, a Lost & Found Music Studios member, could be.
