Unhappy cops are starting to find Wackner's court a viable alternative to the way too busy real court. Allegra Durado wants to do property law in space. Diane claims it's to appeal to people like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. Oscar Rivi is making a deal to sell marijuana; two of his street dealers are arrested and taken to Wackner's court. When they are released, it is discovered that a third has disappeared. Jay investigates and finds another amateur court.

Tropes:

  • Mistaken for Racist:
    • A potential business partner of Rivi's is concerned about Rivi's former cocaine dealing. Rivi accuses the man of this because Rivi is brown.
    • Exploited by Moyo and Rivi, who argue that the drug dealers shouldn't be punished for being black.
  • No, Except Yes: Mr. "Tire Iron" Clay is asked why he attacked an old Asian woman as he is seen doing on a security camera. Clay replies that he didn't do it, but that if he did it was because Asians took everything from him, including his job.
  • Obfuscating Insanity: Allegra straight-up tells David she uses this trope because the person in the middle always has the deciding vote.
  • The Reveal: There is a new fake court in the suburbs.
  • Shout-Out: Del tells Liz that sometimes you can't all get along, you have to say "fuck you, and you, and you and you and you...". Liz calls him Al Capone in return.
