Preview — Abbott Elementary Season 2 Episode 22: Franklin Institute
We’ve reached the end of Abbott Elementary’s season with the Season 2 finale Abbott Elementary Season 2 Episode 22, “Franklin Institute.”
Like the Season 1 s finale, Abbott Elementary Season 1 Episode 13, “Zoo Balloon,” Season 2 ends with a school field trip.
This time, the Abbott crew is taking their students to the Franklin Institute and not just for the day either. By the looks of the preview photos, this year’s big field trip is an overnight trip.
That certainly opens up the possibilities for all sorts of new and fun interactions between the staff, who we rarely see interact outside the school.
Viewers remembering the Season 1 finale might also remember that the field trip to the zoo ended with some big changes in Janine’s love life as she finally broke up with her longtime boyfriend, Tariq.
Will the Season 2 finale mirror Season 1 in that way too? The episode description and the significant number of preview photos with Gregory and Janine suggest it will be a big episode for the pair.
We’ll have to wait and see if any Gregory/Janine developments are ones that their shippers will like or not.
Elsewhere on the episode, Ava is causing disarray with her talk of aliens, leading to another situation that the teachers will no doubt have to clean up.
Whatever happens with Gregory and Janine on “Franklin Institute,” ending the season with Ava’s shenanigans is always a good choice.
Check out the photos below for a preview!
