What happened in Abbott Elementary Season 4, Episode 19?
In the previous episode of Abbott Elementary Season 4, Ava adjusted to her new life following her departure from the school, while the rest of the staff struggled due to her absence. Gregory took over as interim principal, a job he had always dreamt of having.
However, he realized reality was different than what he expected. His organized nature clashed with the disorder Ava left behind, especially when he struggled to understand her confusing filing system. Melissa helped him, and their attempt to decode Ava’s strange labels, based on pop culture references, led them to a fun detour into reality TV history.
Meanwhile, Barbara faced a different challenge as she took charge of the music class. She was used to working with younger kids, so she had a hard time connecting with an older group more interested in social media than in learning music.
In the end, she used their interests to teach them and helped them improve their viral video while still keeping her own teaching style. Meanwhile, Janine refuses to believe that Ava was gone from the school for good. She looked for a way to fix the issue and even found a chance to appeal.
But Ava, who had already started a new career as a public speaker, was not in a hurry to fight for her old job. She gave a successful seminar with a massive crowd, leaving her future in the school uncertain.
