The kids are all over the place after so much deviation from the normal routines. In lieu of the “Kidz Bop beats” Janine picked, she turns on Jazmine Sullivan’s album Heaux Tales for the children and directs them to do their spelling test. Ava inserts the DVD into the player and watches Janine’s ridiculous video, telling the students, “If you’re watching this, it means it’s too late for me … to come in today.” Ava shuts it off, proclaiming that “nobody wants some creepy ghost Janine crawl through that screen,” and flips to the next most interesting step in the binder: to play Janine’s Creativity Mix while the students draw. Of course, Ava wouldn’t dare get her hands chalky so she skips to step two: Turn on the lights.

Not that we should expect Ava to read anything work-related. Venus reminds Ava that there’s a county-wide substitute shortage, something she should’ve known from the district’s memo last week. She treats it like she’s recruiting for her own Love Island episode, requesting that Venus, her secretary, find a six-foot-two Gregory Eddie type to fill in. Though she’s practically projectile vomiting, Ava tells Janine she’ll see her in an hour before succumbing to the idea that she needs to find a substitute.
