"Fire"[1] is the fifteenth episode of the second season and the twenty-eighth episode overall of the American sitcom television series Abbott Elementary. It was written by Ava Coleman, and was directed by Jen Colette. It premiered on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) in the United States on February 15, 2023.[2]
Plot
When a small fire breaks out in the teachers lounge, school principal Ava Coleman (Janelle James) rushes out of the school in a panic, abandoning everyone there. Second grade teacher Gregory Eddie (Tyler James Williams) steps in as acting-principal and invites a district therapist to speak with the students and teachers. After speaking with every teacher, the therapist suggests to Gregory that Barbara Howard (Sheryl Lee Ralph) is struggling to process the fire, as she’s the one who accidentally started it with her candle.
Later, when a fire marshal arrives, he instructs a fire safety meeting, to which he bans open flames on school grounds after the teachers refuse to take him seriously. Barbara takes offense to the demand and goes off on the marshal, noting all of the careless things other teachers at the school have done without consequences. After being reconciled by Melissa Schemmenti (Lisa Ann Walter), Barbara reveals that her husband Gerald had a health scare not long before the fire; and while he is currently fine, the fire struck a nerve and caused Barbara to break. The therapist advises Barbara see a therapist and take a day off from work.
Elsewhere, Melissa lives out her childhood dream as a firefighter, much to the boredom of her students and annoyance of the fire crew. Jacob Hill (Chris Perfetti) brings carrot cookies to school, however no one eats them as they are visually unappealing. Melissa later eats one out of curiosity away from Jacob, and finds out they are delicious.
