Synopsis
Abbott Elementary Season 2 deepens its exploration of underfunded education through the teachers’ personal and professional struggles. Janine Teagues (Quinta Brunson) navigates her lingering feelings for Gregory Eddie (Tyler James Williams), whose unrequited crush becomes a recurring tension after a drunken kiss.

Ava Coleman (Janelle James) remains a chaotic force, hosting a festival to rally against charter school threats while exploiting students’ sales tactics. Meanwhile, Melissa Schemmenti (Lisa Ann Walter) clashes with her new aide and rekindles a childhood dream of firefighting
