## Synopsis

Bobby attends some disputes as the street's elder in a courtroom held in the park's gazebo.

## Plot

The episode begins with Gerald narrating, saying that when the Harvey Street kids have a dispute, they turn to Bobby the elder. Where the latter welcomes a program called "The elder's court", located in the gazebo of park, where there are seats placed as if those involved were in court. Gerald introduces him and Bobby asks about the cases.

### Fredo v. Sues

The first case is Fredo vs Sues, where the last one gave him a board game in a bad state, Sues defends herself saying that he asked for it. Fredo recounts the dispute by saying he was looking for a game called "Secret Zombie: Brainfest", which was in its thirtieth anniversary explaining why they released a special edition. However, it was nowhere to be found and The Bow takes advantage of scamming him by changing his cell phone for a worm made bow. Fredo finds out that Sues got one and exchanges it for numerous sweets, however, when he went to play with Tiny and Todd, he notices that several cards were bitten. Fredo talks to her again, but was ambushed by his raccoon friends where they damaged his cape. He sues her for a refund and extra payments for the cape, where he shows the evidence. Sues, asks for a translator, where Lotta is offered. Sues for her part tells a twisted version where Fredo damaged the cards and the cape herself. Fredo responds by saying that Sues is acting like a jerk and asks Audrey to testify against her.

Audrey mentions that Sues is a problem, where she doesn't care about other people's property. Next, Sues is seen attacking Audrey on different occasions while she respectively carried a paddle, a giant doll version of herself and a boba tea, whose conflict continues in a cartoony dust cloud fight that ends with Sues winning every opportunity. Audrey presumes to have retrieved her sliding whistle, but Sues proves she has it and this is triggered in another cartoonish fight. Fredo, for his part, shows that the marks Sues left on Audrey's clothing after their conflict, that coincides with the bites on his cape. Bobby for his part, excuses Sues by saying that the exchange was done outside the trade tree, and therefore it is outside his jurisdiction. After seeing Fredo cry, Greald suspects Bobby and at the same time it is implied that Sues bribed him to favor her.

### Lucretia v. Maria

Lucretia sues Maria for a bad video. She explains that she was going to do a premiere night for Dollcretia's rap musical on the founder of the street. Where she performs alongside Lotta's rabbits and Billy. Lucretia explains with a VHS that she needed someone to record the performance reel of Dollcretia. So she turns to Maria since she says she makes the best dance videos. Below is one of the videos, in which Melvin is seen dancing with SheBra. Lucretia says the show was great, where Dollcretia showed off. However, Maria was distracted and decided to focus on a squirrel, presumably Joel; she also records Sues biting Audrey's stuffed toy; and Melvin dancing as previously shown. Maria excuses herself saying that she was bored. Lucretia says she did the job wrong on purpose and that she wanted to ruin her from the start.

Lucretia calls Melvin to justify, where he says that Maria not only annoys people, but sees others as mere objects to annoy. Melvin quotes a lie she told him about being born with a twin around his neck, which was removed and sent to the basement of his house, awaiting revenge. In passing, she admits that she offered to record to annoy her. Bobby favors Maria by saying that Lucretia only asked her for a video, without describing details and then hints that he favored her to tag him in one of her photos on RightNow-O-Gram to ensure popularity with older children.

### Dot v. Bobby

Dot sues Bobby for corruption, where he tries to cancel the case, but is scared by the public. Dot says it was fair before, but then he bet on favoring whoever bribed him. Dot cites a case against Count Laugh-ula, where he stole a joke from her, Bobby favored him, and the latter appeared as a guest on his stream. Another case was Audrey v. Zoe, where she favored Zoe by saying that she "hit herself" since he was bribed with a lipstick of hers. Other cases were Tiny vs Hawk, Dap-O-Tron vs Chevron, Diaper Ducky vs Children from the block who read their comics and had nightmares, so that his pockets has been growing with every bribe. Bobby feeling cornered and threatened by the public, says she has no evidence, only to show all the things he has accidentally obtained. He tries to defend himself by calling Gerald, however when he sees Fredo worried next to Zoe and Maria making fun of what happened, he tells the truth.

Commenting that he became wise because he loves the block, but he has been tempted with office work, he reverses the judgments and hugs with his friend Gerald. Then the viewer sees a scene as if someone was recording where Dollcretia can be seen saying that she still has tickets for her show and that she can continue with her life, Gerald comments that he is open to a possible show, Fredo and Suse become friends, and Maria continues to act apathetic, where it is revealed that she was filming this segment.
