The strict equality operator is actually testing to see if they are the same object, which they are not. For the strict equality operator to show that two object are equal, they must both either be references to the same string OR both be primitive strings. (The array is storing a String object and not a primitive string.) You can learn more about this here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Comparison_Operators, but that might be beyond your scope at this point. For now, try changing the === to == and see if that helps. If it doesn't, let me know and I'll see if I can look over it again. :)
