Abbott Elementary Recap: The Gang Goes Back to School


The infamous owners of Philadelphia’s worst bar are lending their time as Abbott volunteers.

Everyone pairs up with their foil; Dee heads to Janine’s classroom; Mac assists Ava with her principal duties; Charlie fixes a vent in Jacob’s class; and Frank lends a hand with Gregory’s garden. They want to sprinkle chili and garlic powder in the compost to deter the pests, but Frank instead litters old batteries all over the garden, claiming they’re full of “rare earth metals.” Then he insists the only way to trap a raccoon is through intimidation, so they should use pelts with “alpha predator” urine to send a message. When he proudly shows off by reading one of the “hard” sentences in the back of the book about a protected endangered bird species in Pennsylvania called loggerhead shrikes, Ava gets an idea about how to finesse a new scoreboard for the school.
