The holidays are stressful enough without a fake murder turning real, right? But that’s exactly the eggnog-spiked chaos brewing in the upcoming “Feliz Navidead” episode of Night Court. Abby Stone, ever the optimist, has her festive plans laid out, probably involving copious amounts of tinsel and questionable carols. But a murder mystery performer at the courthouse has a different kind of performance in mind – one that involves an actual dead body. So much for courtroom carols, we’re now knee-deep in a holiday homicide.
While Abby grapples with the case of the not-so-merry murder, Gurgs and Wyatt wage their own war on decorum. Their clash over appropriate office behavior is the kind of petty squabble that fuels sitcom gold, especially when holiday stress magnifies every minor annoyance into a full-blown yuletide feud. One can only imagine the passive-aggressive tree decorating and the cutthroat competition for the last sugar cookie.
So, if you’re looking for a dose of holiday cheer mixed with a dash of homicide, Night Court has you covered. Just try not to choke on your gingerbread while witnessing the courtroom shenanigans.
Night Court airs Tuesdays at 8:30 PM on NBC.
