Faculty is nearly again in session on the 2025 TV schedule, and we’re getting near returning to Abbott Elementary for Season 5. Meaning extra shenanigans from the workers and massive life developments outdoors the classroom that affect the work contained in the partitions of Abbott. Now, Quinta Brunson has confirmed that this 12 months’s Christmas episode might be “a recreation changer,” and that’s left me guessing about why.
What Quinta Brunson Stated About Abbott Elementary’s Upcoming Christmas Episode
Abbott Elementary loves a vacation episode, that’s no secret, and Brunson confirmed that that may proceed in Season 5. She additionally specified throughout an interview with EW that the Halloween and Christmas episodes might be large this 12 months. Whereas the October vacation will take them out of faculty, the Janine actress mentioned there might be a couple of purpose to rejoice when Christmas comes, saying:
For the Christmas episode, we’re celebrating a couple of factor on Christmas. Our Christmas episode goes to be a recreation changer. Lots’s gonna change after this Christmas episode.
Now, what might be so large that it’s thought of a game-changer? Nicely, I’ve a few wild guesses that should do with Gregory and Janine’s relationship, and I can’t assist however surprise if I’m on to one thing right here.
May Janine And Gregory Get Engaged?
After sharing a kiss in Season 2, Gregory and Janine formally turned an merchandise on the finish of Season 3 and had been a strong and HR official couple for all of Season 4 (to recap all that, you’ll be able to stream the present with a Hulu subscription). Brunson has mentioned her and Tyler James Williams’ characters might be having large conversations this season with out essentially preventing, in order that makes me assume they’re endgame and leads me to my first (and wildest) guess. What if Gregory and Janine get engaged over Christmas?
Give it some thought, it’d make sense for it to occur when faculty isn’t in session, and by that time, they’ll have been collectively for a season and a half. It appears like they’re endgame, and Gregory (and even Janine) popping the query doesn’t really feel out of the query. Whereas it’s nonetheless sort of early of their relationship (which is why this feels a bit loopy), if we want one thing large that adjustments the dynamic on the present, this might definitely do it.
To me, it’d be a welcome game-changer, and actually, I hope it occurs.
May Janine And Gregory Transfer In Collectively?
Considering extra realistically, however nonetheless on the planet of Gregory and Janine’s relationship, possibly the vacation season will mark the time they transfer in collectively. That feels extra possible, and it’d be candy to possibly see Tyler James Williams’ character reward Quinta Brunson’s character a key to his dwelling for Christmas.
It looks like a pure step of their relationship, and it’d current new challenges and highlights for the couple that will possible have an effect on how they work, too. Whereas it wouldn’t bear practically as large as an engagement, it may additionally function one thing value celebrating that might change Abbott Elementary going into the again half of Season 5.
May The ‘Recreation Changer’ Have Nothing To Do With Them, And Have The whole lot To Do With The Faculty?
After all, I might be utterly off base right here, and this factor that Burnson is speaking about may don’t have anything to do with Abbott’s energy couple. We have seen loads of game-changing and unpredictable moments on the present of each the constructive and damaging selection. I imply, final season, Ava acquired fired, and the repercussions of that induced ripples and questions for Janine, Gregory and all the opposite characters.
So, no matter occurs at Christmas might be associated to the varsity or one of many characters’ jobs. It may additionally contain one other instructor’s private life. Nevertheless, we do know that no matter occurs, it’ll be value celebrating, and that makes me very completely satisfied and excited to see what they’ve cooked up for the vacation season.
Nevertheless, now we have a variety of faculty to get by way of earlier than we get to that time. So, be sure that to tune into Season 5 of Abbott Elementary when it premieres on ABC on Wednesday, October 1, at 8:30 p.m. ET.
