‘Abbott Elementary’: Janine & Gregory Take Major Relationship Step in Valentine’s Day Episode

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Abbott Elementary Season 5 Episode 13, “Candygrams.”]

Abbott Elementary embraced the season of love with its latest Valentine’s Day entry, “Candygrams,” as it explored the next step in Janine (Quinta Brunson) and Gregory’s (Tyler James Williams) relationship.

While the pair have been on solid footing since making their relationship official at the start of Season 4, they accelerated their forward momentum as they decided to move in together. The choice was sparked when Gregory learned his rent was going up and he couldn’t cover it alone anymore, so Janine invited him to move in with her.

Although Gregory seemed amenable to the idea at first, it became clear quite quickly that he wanted something a little different, especially as Janine’s ex, Tariq (Zack Fox), continued to loom over their lives, both at school and in Janine’s apartment, with visible evidence of his former life with her there.
