The episode is written by Kate Peterman.
What happened in Abbott Elementary season 2 episode 15?
The previous episode of Abbott Elementary, titled Fire, was directed by Jennifer Celotta and written by Ava Coleman.
In the latest episode, viewers saw a different version of Barbara, who is usually calm and methodical, under a lot of stress. Viewers also saw a fire break out in the school building and an alarm set off, instructing the staff and students. Meanwhile, Melissa saw a firetruck outside the school, which excited her because she had always wanted to be a firefighter growing up. Ava skipped school at the very beginning of the episode, so Gregory took care of the day's responsibilities.
It was soon revealed that the fire was caused by Barbara, who had previously lit a candle in the break room. Despite everyone gradually getting over the incident, Barbara continued to feel guilty about her mistake. The counselor instantly figured this out and raised concerns about it. Melissa, on the other hand, hilariously kept irritating the firefighters.
Barbara then revealed that the stress was not because of the fire but because her husband was ill, although he thankfully out of danger. In the end, Mellisa was allowed to live her dream as a firefighter for a day. It was also revealed that an uncle of hers was a famous firefighter in the 90s.
The official synopsis of the episode read,
"Barbara's candle accidentally starts a small fire in the teacher's lounge, and a counselor suggests that she might not be handling the aftermath well; Melissa rekindles her childhood dream of being a firefighter."
Season 2 episode 16 of Abbott Elementary will be released on Wednesday, February 22, 2023, at approximately 9 pm (ET) / Thursday at 1 am (GMT) on AMC.
