Abbott Elementary season 3 episode 3 recap

Episode 3 of the season, titled Gregory's Garden Goofballs, saw Gregory (Tyler James Williams) deal with taking on additional responsibility as a teacher. He does not understand why children not from his class go over to him during lunch breaks, before other teachers bring to his attention that he is viewed as a "cool teacher" by them.

Gregory is first reluctant to accept his role as the "Cool Teacher," but his coworkers Jacob (Chris Perfetti) and Mr. Johnson (William Stanford Davis) persuade him to do so because it offers him influence and the chance to constructively guide pupils.

The show follows Gregory's journey from a temporary instructor to a well-respected member of the school community, all while highlighting Tyler James Williams' comic skill with nuanced yet hilarious performances.

The episode also saw the return of Janine's ex-boyfriend Tariq (Zack Fox). Tariq is trying to establish a close relationship with one of the children in Mrs. Howard's (Sheryl Lee Ralph) class, as he is dating the child's mother.

Meanwhile, Janine's absence from the school is felt deeply, as she struggles to arrange an ASL interpreter for Jacob's class as a part of the Philadelphia School district.
