#since jacob's actor confirmed he isn't getting a serious love interest this season and is working more on himself

[notmoreflippingelves]

I see you, Abbot Elementary. Having Mr. Morton show up in-person for the very first time this entire season and immediately establish that 1) Morton's Hershey Park marriage is in the process of ending AND 2) Morton's very existence still pushes Jacob's buttons like nothing else.

I've read enough "enemies-to-lovers" fanfiction to know exactly where this is going. And I want to say that I am delighted and that I called this from Morton's very first episode.

#abbott elementary #jacob x morton #joseph morton #jacob hill #mr. morton #abbot elementary spoilers #sadly i think it's gonna be a next season thing if not a VERY slow burn over multiple ones #since jacob's actor confirmed he isn't getting a serious love interest this season and is working more on himself #anyway i am so glad mr. morton has finally returned from the war; i've been waiting for him #the way that Jacob aggressively growled Morton's last name over the book club thing was so “enemies to lovers” rom-com coded
