The third season of NBC’s “Night Court” continues its streak of workplace shenanigans and burgeoning romantic tension. In “The Jakeout,” airing Tuesday, January 21 at 8:30 PM Eastern Time, the focus shifts to the perpetually single Jake. Abby, with her signature mix of curiosity and questionable judgment, decides to take on the role of amateur relationship therapist, much to Jake’s probable chagrin.

Meanwhile, Dan Fielding, the courtroom’s resident silver fox, continues his awkward dance with Julianne. The two deny any romantic feelings, the kind of denial that usually precedes a drunken confession at the office holiday party. While their predictable back-and-forth offers some comedic relief, one wonders how long the writers can sustain this particular will-they-won’t-they dynamic.
