What to expect from Abbott Elementary Season 5 Episode 5?

The upcoming episode is titled Camping. It is going to be a Halloween special. ABC has released an official logline for the episode, which reveals that Barbara will be taking the older kids of the school for a Halloween camping trip. The synopsis reads:

“Barbara organizes a Halloween camping trip for older kids.”

Meanwhile, in the previous episode titled Game Night, Janine, Jacob, Erika, Elijah, and Simon gathered at Gregory’s home for a board game. Janine knew that Gregory was not exactly known for his party skills, and she was soon proven right.

On the other hand, Mr. Johnson went to the DMV to get his ID and was joined by Barbara, Ava, and Melissa. After a day of mishaps, Mr. Johnson’s old friend helped him get the ID. Meanwhile, the game night went on at Gregory’s place.

Gregory’s had a unique setup for the night that included gym equipment in place of chairs and mellow music instead of upbeat tracks. As the guests arrived, the energy was painfully dull until a pigeon flew into the apartment and caused chaos. Janine later took charge of the situation and brought her own supplies to save the night.

Created by Quinta Brunson, Abbott Elementary Season 5 stars her as Janine Teagues, along with Tyler James Williams as Gregory Eddie, Sheryl Lee Ralph as Barbara Howard, William Stanford Davis as Mr. Johnson, Chris Perfetti as Jacob Hill, Lisa Ann Walter as Melissa Schemmenti, Courtney Taylor as Erika, Benjamin Norris as Simon, and Jaboukie Young-White as Elijah.
