Abbott Elementary Season 5 Episode 10 Preview: Mall Part 2

It’s back to the mall we go for Abbott Elementary Season 5 Episode 10, “Mall Part 2: Questions & Concerns.”

The crew’s new digs continue to be the center focus of these episodes as Abbott Elementary staff attempt to make the cold, capitalist hellscape into a warm and inviting space for learning.

The temporary move from the iconic school setting to this abandoned Philly mall is not without some harsh growing pains, however.

Meanwhile, Jacob and Melissa suspect Mr. Morton is up to something more sinister than setting up his new classroom. They decide to investigate and see what he is up to within the winding bowels of the mall.

Here’s everything you need to know about this episode, including the air date, cast, promo, and how to watch.
