Abbott, USAFri Jan 17 2025
Abbott Elementary's latest episode, Season 4, Episode 10, takes a break from big plot movements, focusing instead on the challenges of education. It's a light-hearted episode that highlights the struggles teachers face in keeping students engaged. Jacob, a dedicated educator, tries to find an after-school activity that will spark RJ's interest. RJ, a student with a history of absenteeism and a tough home life, shows little enthusiasm for the activities Jacob suggests. Finally, they discover that RJ loves nature and joining Gregory's Garden Goofballs club seems to be just the right fit. Meanwhile, Janine faces her own challenge. She's determined to improve her students' practice test scores but struggles when they perform poorly. With help from her colleagues, she realizes her teaching style might not be the best fit for her current class and adjusts her methods. Ava and O'Shon's relationship also gets a nod. Ava seeks advice from Janine and Gregory about dating someone who isn't as wealthy. They share their experiences, and Ava realizes that money isn't everything in a relationship. The episode introduces Eric Andre as Cedric, a new janitor sent to train under Mr. Johnson. Mr. Johnson, a veteran janitor, takes Cedric under his wing, teaching him the ropes.
