I keep waiting for some shady shit to pop up, he gives off such a weird vibe
Missed that, but did like the main story this episode. The grandma was hilarious.
Janine seems like she might pump fake on the district job.
Can't say I'm surprised by Janine's decision.
Figured Ava wouldn't be lying 2 years in a row, lol.

The HR rep at the end of the episode hating on Janine was hilarious!
Glad to see Janine will be back. It felt so off with her working for the district for most of the season.

That was the best joke of the episode for me. Hating on Janine and knocking the nameplate off, all while maintaining the smile, perfect. Also, Tariq is moderating at City Hall now? Next time we see the man he'll be moderating a presidential debate lol.
I actually really disliked the direction the show went in this episode. It was so heavily telegraphed that she was missing being a teacher for a lot of the season. I would have preferred if they were teeing her up to learn that she could help way more kids if she kept advocating for them at the district level. The show kept crowbarring her into episodes so it's not like she was taking a job in another city or anything.
Heck, if she was going to end up back at Abbott, I would have preferred if her offer got revoked for breaking district policy to get that kid back to class.
I think it was exacerbated by my generally not liking the episode. The Bear parody was flimsy. Questlove bit was telegraphed. Melissa's bit almost killed the episode for me. I hope that never comes back.

I don't like the way they try to cram celeb guest spots. They're never characters, just celebrities as themselves and the characters in the show gushing over them.
Glad they're done with this district shit. Was useless from the start because we all knew it would be return to status quo by the end of the season. Bout as paint-by-numbers as it gets.

Yeah, felt like the whole district thing was a waste of time other than getting the Superintendent pissed at the school
Yeah, I thought the relay race aspect and feud with the other school was a lot of fun tonight.
Not so much the pump faking on the Gregory/Janine hookup, but the way Ava discouraged it was funny.

I'm not reading the thread, because Disney Plus in the UK only has the first seven episodes up so far. Does the Janine at the district thing resolve itself fast? It's an awful choice. She feels so shoehorned into storylines, and they're avoiding the Gregory thing so much, and it's annoying. (Feels very much like they watched The Office, when Jim went to the other branch, and went, oh let's try that, but without, you know, any of the tension of that situation). I just don't get it. Quite a weak season so far.
It resolves itself. I wouldn't say fast but also way faster than I wanted.
Same. Either do it or drop it. There's no reason this should be dragged out like this. They definitely don't have the chemistry of the sitcom greats so I do nothing but groan when this comes up. The field trip was annoying.
They had 5 seconds of chemistry in the dance club that one episode and since then it has been like a cringe competition to stretch out this whole thing. They clearly set out to do a Pam+Jim but the trajectory is closer to Erin+Andy.
