Abbott Elementary episode synopsis

The upcoming episode, titled Work Family, will deal with Janine's, played by Quinta Brunson, realization that she does not know her colleagues well. This will prompt her to try and get to know everyone better. As admirable as Janine is, it is also a fact that she can be a bit too much at times, even when she means good.

This week too, you will see a new crisis arise due to Janine's need to do everything perfectly. The official synopsis, released by ABC, reads:

"After Jacob reveals a detail about his personal life, Janine realizes she doesn't know the other teachers as well as she thought; Gregory's stern teaching approach is causing his whole class to underperform."

The synopsis states that Janine's realization will come from Jacob Hill, played by Chris Perfetti. Another crisis in this workplace comedy will be dealing with Gregory Eddie's, played by Tyler James Williams, teaching methods. You can also expect another great round of comic relief moments from principal Ava Coleman, played by Jannelle James.
