Oh, wow, those were both things I didn't even notice. Now I might have to go back to Netflix and watch. But a bus? Pish posh!
I know that Chuck had his dad send a helicopter (another reason why Serena won't want to strangle him as much). Which, speaking of, I'm not sure who's 'in charge' of Bart but was there any mention of whether Lily and/or Eric were with him?
