Jacob takes the roll and one of his students answers in gibberish. He assumes its a language he doesn't know but theu quickyly iform him that it is a new sock puppet show thats on-trend. He doesn't know anything about it, but Mr. Johnson cmoes by and reveals that he follows all the trends and is fluent in sock language.

At an assembly, the teachers wait to hear what the subject is. Janine awkwardly asks Gregory can she sit next to him. She reveals to the camera that at the teacher's conference, she and Gregory got caught up in the moment, but it's not weird at all now.

She sits down next to him and Ava introduces an organization called Mural Arts Philadelphia.  Jacob tells the camera that he's been petitioning for this a long time.

Ava suggests the mural artist paint her apartment.

Janine's friend, Erica, comes to pick up her nephew and gossip and Janie tells her she's going to break up with Maurice. Janine feels if she truly cared for Mo, then she wouldn't have kissed Gregory. She feels she owes him an explanation but Erica tells her she does not because he's not her husband.

Melissa approaches Barbara and tells her that someone is planning on turning Abbott into a Charter school. Barbara calls the information line with a Jamaican accent to get information and it is confirmed.

Jacob rushes into the break room with exciting news, His students are currently working with Mural Arts to design the mural.

He removed himself so he wouldn't influence their decision. Mr. Johnson mentions that he is on the Wall of Flame at a local chicken restaurant.

The kids announce their decision and they want to paint the sock puppets -- in lieu of Philly legends, like Will Smith or himself.

Jacob speaks with the artist and said they were most engaged with the sock puppet idea.

Barbara and Melissa talk strategy about how to fight back against becoming a charter school.  Ava asks if they are sure they want to fight this. They begin to list all the ways Charter schools are detrimental. Ava is not convinced.

Maurice comes by the school to surprise Janine with lunch and has an awkward exchange with Gregory.

She sees Gregory walk by and agrees to a date with Mo. He told her he wants to go Bonetown -- a rib joint with her. She agrees and says she needs to talk to him privately.

Jacob tries to persuade his kids to change their mind about the mural. When they don't agree, he demands they change it. They protest in sock language.

Gregory and Janine talk about the kiss. She tells him shes going to break up with him. Gregory says he will tell him about the kiss. They argue briefly about who will tell Maurice and then decide to do it together at Bonetown.

Ava and the Mural Arts artist meet with Jacob and he announces the design he chose. The kids are miserable about the choice and the Mural Arts artists says the kids have to design it and they will have to reapply next year since it's too late to redesign.

Jacob talks to Melissa about the balance of leading the children and letting them have their individuality.

A former student was put out of Addington and Ava welcomes him back with open arms. And then she decides to join Melissa and Barbara to fight against turning charter.

Janine and Gregory speak to Maurice about their kiss at Bonetown. They tell him it meant nothing and he is not affected, but when she breaks up with him, he gets angry and asks them to leave.

Jacob reveals the mural to the staff and students and it's a painting of the sock puppets but with each student choosing a segment to showcase their future goals. One student is the first black female astronaut president, one is a doctor and one is a teacher like Jacob.

The teachers all gather in the breakroom and take an online quiz to reveal their sock puppet character. They all reveal that they watch and love the show. Gregory refuses to take the quiz but protests his result when Janine puts his information in.
