When the original art teacher for Abbott retires, Janine's (Quinta Brunson) college friend Sahar steps in and is hired as the school's new volunteer art teacher. Sahar and Melissa (Lisa Ann Walter) disagree over the latter's Peter Rabbit project, and though Janine agrees with Melissa, she finds it hard to turn down Sahar's ideas, as she looked up to her during their college days. When Sahar makes an impressive art piece using the books Melissa bought, Janine finally stands up to her and defends Melissa. Disappointed in the lack of vegetables in the school lunches, Jacob (Chris Perfetti) convinces a reluctant Barbara (Sheryl Lee Ralph) that they should start a school garden despite having little experience doing so. The cafeteria workers ultimately tell them that they cannot service food that was not prepared in the school kitchen. Experienced in landscaping, a frustrated Gregory (Tyler James Williams) secretly tends to their garden to make sure it can thrive. [4]
