Previously on Abbott Elementary

Season 5, Episode 4, titled 'Game Night,' turned into a comedy of logistics. Janine had a water pipe leak at her place, so after some hemming and hawing, Gregory reluctantly agreed to host. When Janine showed up, she took one look at his apartment and decided it was not party-ready. He pushed back, she added some cushions anyway, and the vibe was already... tense. Once the games started, Gregory's perfectionist energy made everything extra awkward.

Meanwhile, Mr. Johnson was gearing up for a New Orleans vacation and needed a Real ID. That sent him, Ava, Barbara, and Melissa on a field trip to the DMV to renew their licenses. The episode wrapped with a very funny twist, because of course it did.

What the show is

'In this workplace comedy, a group of dedicated, passionate teachers — and a slightly tone-deaf principal — are brought together in a Philadelphia public school where, despite the odds stacked against them, they are determined to help their students succeed in life. Though these incredible public servants may be outnumbered and underfunded, they love what they do — even if they don’t love the school district’s less-than-stellar attitude toward educating children.'
