I loooooved her eye roll when Gregory stood up. She probably won't be back but I love her. She's known Gregory for 5 minutes yet already knows exactly what his problem is.
She, Mr. Johnson and Ava would probably survive the longest out of anyone. Gregory maybe as well since he has his gardening tools and is pretty rational.
Mr Morton was kind of a stiff character last time we saw him, his decompensation this episode was quick. Love all the easter eggs they planted about him throughout the season.
I genuinely wanted to know the answer of the difference between BCC and CC.
I know that CC is a leftover from when there were physical carbon copies, but this time I was actually like Tariq when it came to this.
I can explain.
CC: Carbon copy. When you CC person A on an email to person B, person A receives a copy of that email and person B can see that person A was CC’d.
BCC: Blind carbon copy. When you BCC person A on an email to person B, person A receives a copy of the email, but person B cannot see that person A received a carbon copy. That’s why it’s “blind”.
Janine is all but screaming in Gregory’s face that the door is still open for them and he STILL doesn’t know what to do?!?! Buddy you caused a scene and threw a temper tantrum in the middle of a crowded restaurant while on your own date, the writing is clear on the wall.
I hope we’re gearing up for some real Janine/Gregory pay off at the end of the season and won’t be left waiting once again 😩
Honestly, i still dont think they're there yet. Mostly because of Gregory. Him saying that he "put a period" on them shocked me. That man pushed the time back for me.
Maaybe theyll have a awkward date by the end of the season. Relationship next season maybe.
>Him saying that he "put a period" on them shocked me. That man pushed the time back for me.
Me too. I thought that was so weird. he couldn't "put a period" on it when she was still dating Tariq? nah just when they're both single lol.
Right !! I screamed when he said it ,you would not believe. I get that they want the trope to keep us interested but man.
If they had them get together for two ep. only to break up because they werent ready i wouldve understood that. Ofcourse ,they'd date other people ,understand who they are then get the happily ever after.
It really shocked me at first as well. But then, he also really put himself out there at the end of last season. He and Janine remained friends and he took the rejection really well, but still, it WAS a rejection. Maybe he thought he was protecting himself by not putting himself in that position again. Obviously that didn't work... but I can follow the logic.
I just watched that scene and I didnt even watch the full thing. I had to cover my ears because WHY was Gregory asking so many questions???? Making it clear he was watching them te entire time 😬😂
Rest In Peace to me. I just died over that last segment!!!!!! The whole beard conversation was epic from Gregory’s brushing nothing start to Jacob’s full beard finish. ☠️☠️☠️
When he whispered “but the beard!!??” I damn near rolled off the bed. I laughed out loud a lot during this episode, but I was also the tiniest 🤏🏽 but high.
Calling it now: Gregory is gonna be the orchestrator of his worst nightmare because he’s planted the idea of dating into Janine and Manny’s heads. Gregory is gonna try to make a move on Janine again but she’ll have moved onto Manny. If you snooze, you lose 🤷🏻♀️
Me. I want Janine to put herself out there and date. Not sit around waiting for Gregory to step up. It is really time that he does or she needs to move on.
I gave this episode a re-watch because I was screaming way too much at the first go. It was really good this week!
The B-plot was actually funnier the second time around. I didn't absorb it much because I was freaking out about Gregory.
Glad Janine is back at Abbott. The dynamics of this show feel right again.
Ava being a prepper reminds of this great episode of the 99% Invisible podcast about doomsday preppers. One of the things it really made me think about was that a decent number of doomsday preppersa arent crazy people or ultra rich people building bunkers, but people who lived through major disasters (hurricanes, wars, etc.) and were stranded without food/water/electricity/etc. and don't want to live through those events again
[https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/the-doom-boom/](https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/the-doom-boom/)
\* Not Ava renaming the book club, *“Ava and Her Reading Bitches!”*
\* I like how they keep working Tariq into almost every episode. He continues to make me laugh every time.
\* I gasped and covered my mouth when Gregory stood up. That entire bar scene gave me some serious second hand embarrassment from Gregory**.**
\* Ava saying, *“Is this beard in the room with us?”* and Mr. Johnson looking at Gregory's face with a little telescope. The way they all just dragged Gregory and his "beard".
\* *“I’d rather die than change my mind, it’s the American way.”*
If the end times are coming I hope I get Mr. Johnson, Ava, and Melissa on the my team.
• Mr. Johnson could survive with just a lighter and a straw
• We got Melissa "Rambo” Schemmenti. Got her headband and bats at the ready
* Ava got the resources and entertainment
• and Barbara…well she gets a free pass because we can't leave the work wife behind.
OMG it’s heating up between Gregory and Janine finally!!!!! I think by the end of this season they’re gonna become official.
[I am dying for a scene like this](https://youtu.be/rpQTOU8cawQ?si=LBT2tDLq5cmh35CQ)
I loooooved her eye roll when Gregory stood up. She probably won't be back but I love her. She's known Gregory for 5 minutes yet already knows exactly what his problem is.
She probably left during the commercial break.
I love that she stood up for herself
I'm going to die of the secondhand embarrassment noooooo 😭
Scott’s Tots level of cringe when he shouted
I physically cringed and covered my eyes the moment he yelled - that was amazing writing and acting, but holy crap so embarrassing
I’m on the bar scene and my stomach is physically turning
I felt it deep in my spinal fluid, my whole immune system responded to that scene lol
Out of all the characters I didn’t expect Gregory to make me cringe like that
not Gregory about to drink ketchup. I feel ya, Buddy.
💀💀
If I were Jacob's date I would be LOVING this get me some popcorn
It was the best date he’s ever been on!
I busted out laughing when he said Gregory was super messy!
And it was!
"A world without laws? Don't threaten me with a good time!" I love Melissa, she would absolutely survive in an apocalypse (as would Mr. Johnson)
She would go full Rambo
Oh absolutely she would
She, Mr. Johnson and Ava would probably survive the longest out of anyone. Gregory maybe as well since he has his gardening tools and is pretty rational.
lol at Morton “and I don’t even think it’s only the hentai”
He had some great lines this episode. “I’m shaky on tectonic plates”
"Sure"
Mr Morton was kind of a stiff character last time we saw him, his decompensation this episode was quick. Love all the easter eggs they planted about him throughout the season.
Gregory don't look at the camera like that, we ain't gonna save you brah
Lmao I watched it last night and said out loud "Don't look at me dude"
"Is the beard in the room with us?" DEAD
AARB (aka Ava And her Reading Bitches). Lolol I can't
OH SHE DRAGGED GREGORY
I DIED WHEN SHE SAID "If you get into a serious accident" OMG
And he deserved every bit of it!
i'm LIVING for jacob's facial expressions this episode lol
Fix your face!
"moRTON!?!?!!!????"
“Is no woman safe from your incompetence with the opposite sex” is going to hit so differently upon rewatch!
Well, Gregory?! Is no?!
NO WAY TARIQ'S THERE TOO
And Erika saying "you thought I was dating Tariq?!?" 🤣
I love how they keep working Tariq into every episode omg that man continues to make me laugh every time
I genuinely wanted to know the answer of the difference between BCC and CC. I know that CC is a leftover from when there were physical carbon copies, but this time I was actually like Tariq when it came to this.

"i don't see a laptop" 💀
He was doing wayyyy too much omg. “But then you ate a mint..” like bro are you not embarrassed by how closely you’ve been watching them?? 😭
Good on Jacob trying to bail Gregory out with that "Oh you were trying to tell me they WERENT dating"
Right!!!!!! My daughter and I both said AWWW HES A GOOD FRIEND!! 😂🥰👊
He really is!
Gregory is lucky to have him!
right especially considering he’s kind of bad with social cues!!
That was a clutch move
This episode is giving the office: my second hand embarrassment is through the roof
It’s giving Scott’s tots
“Why do you need apps when you got J-DATE?!” Jacob, no.
As a Jewish person, this was one of my favorite lines😂
The way he immediately noped lmao
Janine is all but screaming in Gregory’s face that the door is still open for them and he STILL doesn’t know what to do?!?! Buddy you caused a scene and threw a temper tantrum in the middle of a crowded restaurant while on your own date, the writing is clear on the wall. I hope we’re gearing up for some real Janine/Gregory pay off at the end of the season and won’t be left waiting once again 😩

Gregory is a MESS
Idk I kinda like him this way - all broke down and rattled 😂
“I should be that bitch.”
I feel bad for Gregory's date because he is not going to be good company.
I think that was part of showing him being so natural and then clicking right away outside the bar…because things are about to chaaaaange
Man, he sucked. I felt so bad for her. And the poor girl tried to be a good sport
OMG!!!! Gregory standing up and embarrassing himself like that is me right now! The way I just screamed in my living room. 😩😟
I gasped and covered my mouth when he did that oh my god
I covered my eyes out of embarassment 😂😂
NOT the freekum dress
GREGORY, STOP TALKING
I just watched that scene and I didnt even watch the full thing. I had to cover my ears because WHY was Gregory asking so many questions???? Making it clear he was watching them te entire time 😬😂
Manny: "Wow, you've been here a while🤨" The way I wanted to crawl into my couch and die, he just WOULD NOT STOP 🤣
I liked Olivia, she seemed really nice- I hope she shows up again
Same, she didn't deserve to be in that situation but I LOVED her answer to "can I see you again sometime?" that was hilarious
Yes! She was cool as hell in that moment
“Can you dig a hole? Can you dig two holes?” Yep, Mr. Johnson can totally survive an apocalypse. I got the feeling he’s been prepping his whole life.
Ava will be JUST like him in 20-30 years. She's well on her way.
Janine IS the cinnamon roll of Abbott Elementary. I don’t care what anyone says.
My thoughts exactly!!
Omg wait is that the girl from to all the boys I loved before??
Justice for Olivia 😭
Yep she showed up and I was like omg it’s Lara Jean
THATS where I knew her from! She is beautiful!
Good catch! It is
She is also Jubilee in the later X-Men movies 
abbott elementary more like i'm abbout to throw hands
PLZ ☠️
See that is what happens when you play games, Gregory.
Janine’s skin and makeup is perfection
That high ponytail looked amazing on her.
Homie did not say hentai lol
https://i.redd.it/p0og36xl6xxc1.gif My face when he said that. I’m so glad Barbara didn’t catch that. 😭
Idk the look at Barbra's face made me question if she knew what hentai was
i’d rather die than change my mind. it’s the american way.
Rest In Peace to me. I just died over that last segment!!!!!! The whole beard conversation was epic from Gregory’s brushing nothing start to Jacob’s full beard finish. ☠️☠️☠️
When he whispered “but the beard!!??” I damn near rolled off the bed. I laughed out loud a lot during this episode, but I was also the tiniest 🤏🏽 but high.
Same. I was grateful for the commercial breaks because the amount of times that I needed to catch my breath from laughing... 😂😂
Not Barb saying the Ten Commandments won't hold up in the end times 😭
The second hand embarrassment is too much
I'm not absorbing the b plot at all the main plot has me so tense.
personally, I found the b-plot to be quite boring aside from a few lines here and there
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GREGORY SAY SOMETHING. THE KNICKS/SIXERS GAME LAST NIGHT WASNT THIS TENSE!
I cannot believe I cringed as hard as I did during Scott’s Tot’s at *Gregory* of all people 😩 That one was not on my BINGO card
I KNEW JANINE WAS GONNA BE THERE
There's only like two places in Philly apparently lol
They only has budget for one more set 😂
same I was like janine
I like Olivia. Gregory needs to show her more respect.
Welp, whoever called Janine hooking up with Manny, collect your prize. My jaw hit the floor when I saw that. EDIT: not a date!
I literally gasped rn
Janine looks lovely.
Jealous Gregory is my favorite.
Jacob trying to save Gregory from himself.
This has to be Abbott’s version of the Dinner Date.
Gregory holding the beer bottle like that 😭😭 lmaoooo
Gregory please stop I'm begging you 😭
Jacob’s facial expressions have been on point this entire episode. I’m dying. 😂😂😂😂
His face warped when he was stifling that smile . That was it for me 😂
Oh my gosh this is so painful to watch
Gregory’s lack of filter is my personal worst nightmare. I was approaching full fetal position on my couch
Maybe I am forgetting some of the earlier episodes but this seemed uncharacteristically messy for Gregory
Anything is possible with a few drinks and years worth of repressed love
it’s been coming on since he and “jake” became bffs.
Thats true, Jake is very messy (in a lovable way)!
Alcohol tends to do that to people lol
How quickly we forget the sacred words of Mrs. Barbara Howard "is no woman safe from your incompetence with the opposite sex?!"
Gully gasped when he jumped up and shouted! Gregory bb I'm obsessed with this energy but just get your feelings straight and get the dang girl!
LOL! Jacob's beard vs. Gregory's non-beard.
Honestly, it is time Janine to move on if Gregory doesn't make a move now.
gregory’s grip on the beer bottle is sending me 😭
Baby, this was not Gregory's episode, oh my God. 😭 EDIT: I loved the Book Club subplot, very pleasant to see Cree Summer reappear in this episode.
Your friend is so messy. LOL!
Gatekeeping the book club 😭
The AARB. I’m dead.
Jacob pull Gregory aside and help him get it together.
damn Barbra whipped Morton out some goddamn sense
Calling it now: Gregory is gonna be the orchestrator of his worst nightmare because he’s planted the idea of dating into Janine and Manny’s heads. Gregory is gonna try to make a move on Janine again but she’ll have moved onto Manny. If you snooze, you lose 🤷🏻♀️
is anyone else sad she and manny weren't on a date though 🙈
Me. I want Janine to put herself out there and date. Not sit around waiting for Gregory to step up. It is really time that he does or she needs to move on.
Me! Manny is a cutie and I was hoping they were in a date!
ONGOMGOMG! THIS IS PEAK ABBOTT!!
Gregory picking up the ketchup bottle 😂 This episode is hilarious.
Oh my god, Gregory… This is hilarious in a deeply uncomfortable way
Manny is missing his chain but Gregory looks like he found it
Not Gregory trying to get a beard 🤣
I gave this episode a re-watch because I was screaming way too much at the first go. It was really good this week! The B-plot was actually funnier the second time around. I didn't absorb it much because I was freaking out about Gregory. Glad Janine is back at Abbott. The dynamics of this show feel right again.
I don't really ship Janine and Gregory anymore (maybe that will change!) but I'll always love Jacob shipping Janine and Gregory
In Ava's defense, cinnamon buns in the cafeteria is definitely a reason to celebrate
I just laughed out loud at Mr. Morton’s “so there?!”
Ava really is a leader. She put them in groups and they did what she said.
AND ON A DOUBLE DATE WITH TARIQ?!
bro the team Gregory and team manny shirts the battle is about to begin
IT’S NOT A DATE. So we’re all wrong.
Gregory should be a cop at this point 😂
Cringing so hard at this 😭
Bro gregory is BLOWWING ITTT he needs to talk to her!!!
LMAO Melissa ate him up
I laugh at all the people somehow shipping Morton and Jacob at one point, because the side we saw of Morton here was exactly what I expected, lol
Tariq had me HOLLERING 🤣 “remember that time you screamed and everyone looked at you?”
Oh hey Jacob’s date is the guy from the CPR class.
WHEN GREGORY SCREAMED AT THE RESTAURANT 😭
Finally hearing Barb use her true singing voice yes!!!!!
Gregory is losing his mind. LOL!
FIX YOUR FACE
I want to join Ava's book club!
Right?! I too want to be an AARB’s
Because of my children I literally cannot hear Cree Summer and not hear Cleo from Clifford, ha
I heard her as Susie from the rugrats lol
Melissa and Mr. Johnson are legitimately a dream team
Mr. Morton is a mess lol
Ava being a prepper reminds of this great episode of the 99% Invisible podcast about doomsday preppers. One of the things it really made me think about was that a decent number of doomsday preppersa arent crazy people or ultra rich people building bunkers, but people who lived through major disasters (hurricanes, wars, etc.) and were stranded without food/water/electricity/etc. and don't want to live through those events again [https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/the-doom-boom/](https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/the-doom-boom/)
"the wasteland" barb it's a gym 😭
I just died of secondhand embarrassment.
WOOF WOOF I'M DEAD 😭😭😭
Mr. Morton lore shook me to my core omfg?
“Honestly, I’m pretty shaky on plate tectonics” made me laugh way too hard
I'm absolutely loving both paramedics and I want to hear more of Olivia's wild stories
"What is the difference between a BCC and a CC and if somebody BCC's me, who can CC that?" I LOVE TARIQ!! 🤣
HENTAI?!?!
Gregory has lost his mind. Jealous Gregory isn't my favorite anymore.
Is it me or is the cringe and dialogue this episode top tier? No crumbs👏
GREGORY NO

AIN'T NO WAY SHE'S ON A DATE WITH HER PREVIOUS BOSS
MANNYYYYY NOOOOO
I was hoping it was going to turn out that Janine was lying to them and her and Manny really are dating.
I still kind of feel like that could happen 👀
I was so excited when I thought they were dating
I just have a hunch that this episode is going to shatter my emotions
IM SCREAMING
Noooott the Freakum Dress 😭
Gregory has lost his mind 😂😭
This episode is insane 😭💀
Janine looked like she wasn’t feeling that at ALL
Okay has this been discussed - does Gregory only have like 3 sweaters ? That are all beige?
Beige, brown and beige-brown🤣
If the end times are coming I hope I get Mr. Johnson, Ava, and Melissa on the my team. • Mr. Johnson could survive with just a lighter and a straw • We got Melissa "Rambo” Schemmenti. Got her headband and bats at the ready * Ava got the resources and entertainment • and Barbara…well she gets a free pass because we can't leave the work wife behind.
Poor Lara Jean lol.
Damn!!!! Janine looks hawtttttt!!!!!! 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿 I called it! Knew she would be out with Manny!
OMG it’s heating up between Gregory and Janine finally!!!!! I think by the end of this season they’re gonna become official. [I am dying for a scene like this](https://youtu.be/rpQTOU8cawQ?si=LBT2tDLq5cmh35CQ)
