Night Court Season 3 Plot Synopsis – Spoilers Ahead

The series follows Judge Abby Stone, daughter of the late Judge Harry Stone. She takes the job as magistrate for the night shift at Manhattan Criminal Court. Like her father, she likes to view the defenders as people, and she is interested in taking the time to administer justice. She recruits Dan Fielding, Harry’s old friend, as a new public prosecutor after the assigned public defender quit on her first day in court. The story focuses on workplace dynamics, and throughout the season, the staff in the court have to deal with many odd characters while maintaining a mutual understanding.

In the finale of the second season, at the wedding reception, Abby and Jake try hard to keep their growing attraction casual, but the ambiance of the wedding makes them closer. Jake then introduces Abby to his mother, and she reveals to Abby about her past short relationship with someone who worked at the courthouse, which leads Abby to suspicious that Dan might be Jake’s father.

Considering the plot of the third season, nothing has been revealed. It will probably focus more on Abby’s love relationship. It will also resolve the question of whether Dan is Jake’s father.
