“I’m aware.”
Janine (Quinta Brunson) stands in the fluorescent-lit supply closet, holding a single glue stick like a holy relic. The shelf behind her is bare save for a dead roach and a copy of Vocabulary Workshop from 1994.
Gregory (Tyler James Williams) walks in holding a hand-crank pencil sharpener that has smoke coming out of it.
Janine decides not to bribe parents. Instead, she posts the video of the fake leak (without crying) and writes an honest caption: “We need glue. Also, our ceiling is fine. But we’re really poor.”
