ABC released a handful of stills from Abbott Elementary’s highly anticipated Halloween episode earlier this week—but don’t get your hopes up too soon. Halloween is still over three weeks away! This week’s episode involved neither Janine’s (Quinta Brunson) James Harden costume nor Barbara’s (Sheryl Lee Ralph) spelling bee get-up. But it did feature costumes of a different sort.
The so-called “Story Samurai” paid Abbott a visit in the third episode of Season 2, gracing the students with play performances based on their own ideas. The whole Abbott faculty revels in the cheesiness of the visiting glorified improv troupe, excited to laugh at their wonky representations of Meek Mill and Malcolm X.
