Nothing says be my Valentine like a gleaming Telfar bag with a bow on top — well, maybe not for Abbott Elementary's Janine.

Yep, the beloved Bushwick Birkin made a cameo in this week's episode of Abbott Elementary, the hit mockumentary series created by actress-comedian Quinta Brunson.

For Valentine's Day, Maurice (Vince Staples) gifted Janine (Brunson) with a medium-sized silver Telfar bag, to which Janine hilariously looked inside the coveted tote for her "real" gift (obviously, she isn't hip to the brand's cult status).

In addition to chaotically dumping ink pins in the bag, Janine even mispronounced the New York label's name, calling it "Teflon."

It was a very on-character reaction for the young teacher, who's hopelessly out of touch and would much rather enjoy Gregory's gift to Amber: Lego flowers.

The 14th episode of season two not only advanced the Janine and Gregory's simmering romance (much to my impatience) but also raised eyebrows regarding a potential romance between their respective partners.

Even Amber knew: Maurice gets it. I mean, it's a Telfar shopping bag, for crying out loud — these aren't easy cops nowadays.

Amber much preferred the Telfar bag over the Lego flower kit, which she comically assumed was a gift for her kids (though sweet Gregory got it because she's allergic to real flowers).

Not to mention, I also caught how Maurice complimented Amber's nails. Now, he's paying attention to her little details? Hmmm, I'm on to you, Miss Brunson.

With eight more episodes to go, let's hope our burning questions will be finally answered — and Janine does her Telfar research.

Who knows? Perhaps, she'll discover that Telfar's Pill or wallets are a little more her speed.
