When someone from Harry's past appears in court, it's not just for a friendly chat about our dear friend Harry! Let’s dive into this week's exciting episode of Night Court.
Things take a delightful turn when the court session begins, almost like a magic show! Starla the Great, Harry Stone's former magic assistant, dazzles everyone with amazing tricks, from Wyatt sneezing coins out of his nose to Abby coughing out an egg that hatched into a cute little chick. Although Abby isn’t a big fan of Starla, she receives a special gift from her: a magic box that once belonged to Abby's dad. As Abby and Dan begin to play with it, they discover they are trapped, with each hand trapped in the box.
When Abby and Dan ask for Starla's help, she will only assist if Abby gives her Harry's book of magic so she can become the magician she is destined to be. Naturally, Abby refuses to do this due to her jealousy and resentment toward Starla. However, when Dan finds the book and Abby tries to figure out how to get them out of the box, even as they resume their session in court, a familiar face appears—Mr. Danielson (also known as the man with the condition that makes him slow (watch Season 6 episode "Yet Another Day in the Life").
Just as they trap Starla in the office, Dan tries to make Abby and Starla take the time to discuss their differences openly. As the conversation unfolds, things take an unexpected turn. Before they know it, Abby and Dan find themselves free from the box after sharing a heartfelt moment of holding hands—almost like a little magic trick reminiscent of Harry Stone!
Meanwhile, Juannie struggles to understand Wyatt's new outlook on life and genuinely wants to help him. Despite her best efforts, things don't go as planned. After several tries, she feels a bit disheartened until she comes up with a clever idea: tricking Wyatt into enjoying a brownie that will leave him feeling on top of the world!
"Abracadabra Alaka-Dan" really shines, thanks to Abby and Dan! Their chemistry in this episode is a joy, especially since I wasn't as invested in the Juanne and Wyatt storyline. I've said it before, and I'll happily repeat it: the fantastic bond between Abby and Dan sets this series apart. When their connection leads to something special, it touches my heart and gives me all the feels! I simply adore it! And what a delightful surprise to see Mr. Danielson (also known as the Turtle Man) back in this episode! It’s a sweet callback to one of my all-time favorite episodes of "Yet Another Day in the Life," which they should revisit in this revival!
All in all, I give this episode an 8/10.
