NBC's comedy-drama series Night Court, a revival of the 1980s series of the same name, premiered its Season 3 Episode 16 on April 29, 2025.

With the two-part Season 3 finale set to debut on May 6, 2025, Episode 16 was the penultimate episode, which chronicled an absurd night shift at the Manhattan Criminal Court.

With a blood moon night that resulted in chaos at the courthouse, Julianne found unexpected love.

Here is the complete recap of Night Court Season 3 Episode 16.

Night Court Season 3 Episode 16: Dan's fake injury and the blood moon night bingo

With only two episodes left for the Night Court Season 3 finale, Episode 16 was a maddening ride. It was the Blood Moon night at the Manhattan Court's night shift, which is Donna's favorite because the people of the city are crazier than usual on this occasion.

Her enthusiasm and general declaration set the tone for this absurd episode, and she then reveals a blood moon night tradition. All the courthouse staff members play blood night bingo, competing to spot the strangest occurrences during the night.

Soon, we meet Dan Fielding limping to the court with a cane. In Night Court Season 3's latest episode, he reveals how he was trampled by a herd of Pomeranians in his building and got injured. But when Abby catches his lie, he reveals the ulterior motive behind his fake injury.

He wants to use his fake injury to pressurize and possibly sue the co-op president of his building to introduce the new pet-friendly policy. Since he does not like animals and doesn't want them around him, his injury is a facade to make him reverse the policy.

Since Abby caught Dan lying, she asked him to either work or find a replacement within 10 minutes since it would be a long night. Dan convinces Wyatt Shaw, the court clerk, to work on his new case and be Dan's replacement for the night.

While Wyatt is nervous and underconfident about his new case about identical twins, he manages to outsmart them by deceiving and forcing them to reveal the truth. Wyatt's triumph in Night Court Season 3 Episode 16 proves great for his confidence, and Dan even appreciates him.

An unusual love story in Night Court Season 3 Episode 16

Amidst the Blood Moon night madness, Night Court Season 3 Episode 16 featured an unusual love story for Julianne. Earlier in the episode, she saw a man following her in a tracksuit. While everyone around her was concerned for her safety and thought it was the mob, the stalker Carl revealed that he was in love with Julianne.

This created a dilemma for Julianne because she cannot be associated with a criminal as a district attorney. But to find some middle ground, she talks with Carl's boss, who tells her he is free to go. While the couple finally acknowledged their feelings for one another, they parted ways in the end because Carl was still a criminal and they had no future together.
