The “Night Court” crew is back in session this Tuesday, and if the episode title, “Hot to Trot,” is anything to go by, things are about to get a little… complicated. Abby finds herself in a classic sitcom predicament: her friendship with her ex-boyfriend’s mother takes a turn for the awkward, creating a ripple effect of romantic tension.
Meanwhile, the pursuit of cold hard cash takes center stage when Julianne’s wealthy aunt kicks the bucket. Cue the vultures – I mean, the Night Court gang – as they circle the potential inheritance. Expect some primetime hijinks as Dan Fielding dispenses his particular brand of wisdom, Gurgs offers unsolicited relationship advice, and the rest of the crew tries to position themselves as the rightful heir.
NBC’s reboot of the classic sitcom has found its footing, balancing the wacky with the heartwarming. While the quest for the inheritance is sure to bring the laughs, “Hot to Trot” might also give us a deeper look at the relationships between these quirky characters. Tune in Tuesday, April 1st at 8:30 PM ET/PT on NBC.
