Episode Summary
It’s time for Abbott Elementary’s annual Field Day. With several of the staff members experiencing this tradition for the first time at Abbott and with an enticing prize from Ava on the line, they’re all set on making it memorable. Janine’s long-time boyfriend, Tariq, is a volunteer and is looking forward to reliving some of his glory days with Janine through the various events. In a similar vein, Jacob isn’t too shy about flexing his skills as a former high school athlete, despite everyone’s disbelief. As the day proceeds, it becomes pretty clear who is and isn’t the most athletically-inclined. Athletic ability may not be as crucial as team work, though and the ability to work well with each other could carry more weight in the long run.
