🚨 There are obviously MASSIVE spoilers ahead for Abbott Elementary Season 2, Episode 16! 🚨
So it's no secret that Abbott Elementary is one of the best TV shows right now. The show has won countless awards already, and while it's only on Season 2, it's quickly becoming a beloved comedy series.
Every single character on the show is superb, but I think it's safe to say all of us have a special place in our hearts for Janine (Quinta Brunson) and Gregory (Tyler James Williams).
Janine and Gregory's will-they-or-won't-they, slow burn romance is beautifully put together and is another one of the many reasons Abbott Elementary is so good. I miss these kinds of romances, and I feel like we don't get a good slow burn a lot of times when it comes to streaming shows.
This is all to say that in the last few episodes, Janine and Gregory's romance has really hit a peak, with them dancing together at a club and then Janine finding out that Gregory likes her.
Everything came to a head in this week's episode, titled "Teacher Conference," where all of the Abbott teachers headed to the Pennsylvania Educational Conference for the Southeast Area, aka PECSA, and so much happened.
While Gregory was originally not going to attend because he was going away on a romantic vacation with Amber (Naté Jones), he then shows up and tells Janine that Amber dumped him.
Then, after a few drinks, Janine and Gregory sneak into the living classroom exhibit, and that's where they FINALLY SHARE THEIR FIRST KISS.
Look how cute they are! THE WAY JANINE PULLS HIS LANYARD! I am so unwell!
Quinta knew exactly how we would react:
new Abbott Elementary tonight
Lisa warned us it would be an incredible episode, and she was right:
Told y’all. #AbbottElementary https://t.co/icmTQirqnJ
Meanwhile, Sheryl reacting to Janine and Gregory's first kiss is literally all of us:
My Mom watching Gregory and Janine kiss on #AbbottElementary 😂😂😂😂
By the end of the episode, Janine and Gregory had decided to pretend this kiss never happened — Janine is still dating Maurice (Vince Staples) — and I know this is only gonna add to the amazing moments these two already have.
Basically, everyone's in agreement that Abbott Elementary not only delivered a perfect episode overall but also gave us an incredible first kiss for Janine and Gregory. Below are some of the best reactions:

The fact that Janine and Gregory kissed in a flower exhibit too is so important to me like Gregory learned to love gardening again because of Abbott and his students and Janine loves what flowers represent such as growth 😭🫶🏽 #AbbottElementary

Honestly, I can't WAIT for the angst and awkward tension that are going to occur between Janine and Gregory for the rest of Season 2. I just know Abbott Elementary is gonna deliver some amazing moments for the two of them.
