Hot Bench is a courtroom reality television show that features a three-judge panel comprised of Judge Patricia DiMango, Judge Tanya Acker, and Judge Michael Corriero.

In this episode, Zumba Dance Class Catfight!; Wedding Dress Pain and Suffering!, Judge DiMango presides over two cases while Judge Acker and Judge Corriero render their verdicts.

In the first case, two women who attend the same Zumba dance class are at odds over a classmate's phone usage during their class. The plaintiff claims that the defendant was on her phone throughout the entire class, blocking the plaintiff's view of the instructor and disrupting her ability to follow along with the movements. The plaintiff is seeking $700 for the cost of her Zumba classes, which she claims were ruined by the defendant's inconsiderate behavior. The defendant argues that she was only on her phone for a few moments during class and did not disrupt anyone's experience. She believes that the plaintiff is overreacting and seeking to make a big deal out of nothing. Judge DiMango listens closely to both sides of the story and ultimately renders a verdict that surprises everyone involved.

The second case involves a bridal shop that failed to deliver a wedding dress on time for the plaintiff's big day. The plaintiff claims that she repeatedly contacted the bridal shop to inquire about the status of her dress, but received no response. She is seeking $5,000 in damages for the emotional distress and financial cost she experienced as a result of not having a dress to wear on her wedding day. The defendant initially argues that the plaintiff did not provide enough notice about the deadline for the dress, but later admits fault when it is revealed that the dress was never even shipped to the plaintiff. Judge Acker and Judge Corriero consider the evidence presented by both sides and come to a decision that they believe is fair and just.
