Gregory is thriving in his gardening era this season, and students are starting to take notice.
Abbott Elementary Season 3 Episode 3, “Gregory’s Garden Goofballs,” sees the kids flock to Gregory for advice because they see him as the “cool teacher” — a development that will likely destroy Jacob.
As these gardening goofballs assemble in Mr. Eddie’s classroom, the himbos (new and old) of this series join forces to wreak havoc on Janine’s double life.
While Janine and Jacob look to hire an ASL interpreter, Manny (Josh Segarra) and Simon (Benjamin Norris) stand eager to support their district girl with their cozy fits and gold chains.
However, unbeknownst to Janine, Tariq has returned to Abbott with shocking news — he is dating the mother of one of Barbara’s students.
This chaotic development can only mean bad things for Janine as she leaves the comfort of her new office to check-in. Fortunately for us, everything is better when her loveable ex comes to campus.
Check out the photos and promo video below for a preview!
