Meanwhile, Jacob’s boyfriend teaches the kids carols.

Holiday Break

Since this is Janine’s first single Christmas, Erica is straightening her hair, dressing her up in some new clothes, and taking her out to meet some guys who need something to rub up on. They’re headed out to a hookah lounge after school, and Erica claims they’re going to “hoe.”

After Mr. Johnson announces her, Ava enters the teacher’s lounge holiday exchange in a hot Santa outfit. Janine got Mr. Johnson a bust of his face, while he got Melissa Dallas Cowboy Bobbleheads to destroy. Multiple people got Ava, who didn’t want to risk getting a cheap gift.

Melissa and Barbara have an annual holiday party after school with wine and cheese. Since Jacob’s staying home he’d like to join them, but Melissa pulls Barbara away before she can invite him. Janine leaves the party early and admits that she’ll miss Gregory over the break.

Scrooge & Santa Baby

At Melissa and Barbara’s after-school celebration, Melissa is annoyed to see that Barbara’s invited Jacob against her wishes. Meanwhile, in line for the hookah bar, Janine runs into Gregory, his friends, and Ava, who bypasses the line they’re in with her bougie friends.

At the hookah bar, Erica is up and dancing to the DJ’s trap Christmas playlist, while Janine feels like she can’t let loose since her coworkers and boss are here. Erica reminds her that it isn’t a big deal, and points out that Ava is already throwing it down on the dance floor with a hottie.

Gregory feels awkward when his friend wants to hit on Janine, and also encourages him not to hit on Ava. When he sees Janine sitting by herself, Gregory tries to make conversation but ends up making it worse by talking about Amber. Eventually, he asks her to go dance.

Back at school, Melissa is frustrated that Jacob has crashed their private tradition, especially with his long-winded explanations of the origins of the holiday. Once Mr. Johnson arrives, Melissa makes an excuse and escapes outside with Barbara, trapping the janitor with Jacob.

Under the (Club) Lights

Back at the lounge, Janine and Gregory make seriously stilted conversation on the dance floor until Erica rescues her. Erica reminds Janine she’s a single woman who needs to shake some ass, and Janine promises to try since she’s been working up to going out single for months.

While Barbara and Melissa are out of the room, Mr. Johnson questions Jacob’s Christmas spirit. Jacob admits that he doesn’t have a lot of positive Christmas memories, and Mr. Johnson tells him he still has a chance to make one if he’ll stop being such a grinch about everything.

On the dancefloor, Gregory and Janine get closer and closer until they’re dancing on each other, and Ava notices. After doing a spit take when she sees her work husband dancing on her work nemesis, Ava interrupts Gregory and Janine while they’re grinding together.

Feeling embarrassed, both Gregory and Janine go outside to get some fresh air. Out on the street, it begins to snow and Gregory tells Janine she’s beautiful, even if she doesn’t realize it. They start to get closer and almost kiss when Gregory gets a call from Amber and has to go.

So Close

Jacob, who felt bad about ragging on Melissa and Barbara’s tradition, brings scratchers, candy, and other sweets to both of them. He opens up about his negative Christmas memories, and Melissa and Barbara embrace him and thank him for thinking of them.

Alone on the street, Janine runs into Gregory’s goofy friend Maurice, and they hit it off. Jacob decides to call Zach and tell him he wants to fly to Pittsburgh to be with his family, and Janine gets an invite from Ava to go to another bar with her and her boyfriend.
