Abbott Elementary Fans Are Losing Their Minds Over This Gregory And Janine Scene In Season 2 Episode 6
There's a lot to love about "Abbott Elementary" — the acclaimed ABC sitcom, created by Quinta Brunson, about a group of employees at an underfunded elementary school — including the will-they-won't-they couple, Janine (Brunson) and Gregory (Tyler James Williams). In Season 1, we saw Gregory develop feelings for Janine despite the fact that she was in a long-term relationship with Tariq (Zack Fox). However, Janine and Tariq broke up at the end of the season — right as Gregory started dating Barbara's (Sheryl Lee Ralph) daughter Taylor (Iyana Halley). Luckily for fans, though, Gregory's fling with Taylor didn't last long, making way for Janine and Gregory to get together potentially.
This week's episode, "Candy Zombies," gave fans of the potential couple plenty of exciting moments to talk about — for one, Janine gets jealous when a mom of one of her students gives her number to Gregory. But it was a scene toward the end of the episode that really got friends talking.
After Janine decides to go to a Halloween party that an old high school friend invited her to, she decides to ditch her basketball player costume for something cuter; Ava (Janelle James) steps in to help, lending Janine her Marilyn Monroe costume. And when Gregory sees Janine in the Marilyn costume, he is clearly stunned and can't stop staring. When Ava tells Gregory to tell Janine she looks good, Gregory stammers, "Yeah, yeah, no you look, um, it looks great. Really form-fitting."
Naturally, fans are loving the moment — here's what they're saying about it.

One fan, @shaw_2_raw, lightheartedly teased Gregory, writing, "He said it's very 'form fitting' lol."
Additionally, @lasciviouscraft praised the show as a whole for being so heartwarming. And @Joyful44 focused on Janine, writing, "Not Ava giving Janine Props! Not Gregory being speechless!
