Last Wednesday, Golden Globe Award-winning actor Taraji P. Henson appeared on “Abbott Elementary” as Vanetta, Janine’s (Quinta Brunson’s) mom. During the episode titled “Mom”, Janine planned to enjoy a solo trip during Memorial Day weekend. However, her holiday plans come to an abrupt end after her mother arrived unexpectedly and asked for help. Prior to the episode airing, Abbott Elementary uploaded a preview trailer to its official Facebook page and Taraji’s shared a glimpse during her interview on “The View.”
In the clip, Janine spoke with her class and was interrupted by the sounds of familiar footsteps. As the sounds of high heels inched closer, a student pointed to the classroom doorway and asked, “Who’s that?”
Vanetta made a fabulous entrance, green mink coat and all, and made it known that Janine’s students “have the greatest teacher in the world” because “she learned from the best.”
Vanetta’s unannounced visit ensued because Janine missed her phone call. While Janine sorted out her mommy issues, Gregory noticed his colleagues were great at small talk and realized he needed to brush up on his social skills.
It was surely a must-see episode, and the finale will be too! We invite viewers to tune in on ABC 4 West Michigan.
