Abbott Elementary” Season 3 is breaking some hearts so far.

ABC’s award-winning sitcom hit has been hinting at a romance between Janine (Quinta Brunson) and Gregory (Tyler James Williams) since their very first meet-cute in Season 1. So when the duo shared a kiss during the Season 2 episode “Teacher’s Conference,” audiences rejoiced and thought they might finally be entering the “will” phase of their “will they/won’t they” relationship.

But “Abbott Elementary” hit the brakes on their romance after Janine realized she wasn’t ready for a relationship. And they did it again at the start of Season 3. In a moment caught on Ava’s (Janelle James) candid camera, Janine tried to rekindle their romance, but Gregory shut it down, saying he put a “period” on that in his mind.
