Night Court launches its fifth season with the third episode of a four-part story arc, which began at the tail end of Season Four. As former public defender Christine Sullivan (Markie Post) battles an attack of nausea to assume her duties as night court judge, her predecessor Harry T. Stone is still AWOL, plotting the "ultimate prank" to get even with New York City for not reappointing him. Little does Harry know that Christine has arranged for him to be reinstated--and now a nervous Dan Fielding (John Larroquette) must vamp for time to avoid arousing the suspicions of an uptight mayoral aide (Richard Frank).
