Judge Faith Season 3 Episode 44 Animal House; Biking with Benefits

In this episode of Judge Faith, titled "Animal House; Biking with Benefits," two separate cases are brought before the judge for resolution.

The first case, "Animal House," involves a dispute between two former roommates over unpaid pet-related expenses. Plaintiff Sarah claims that she and her former roommate, Mary, agreed to split the costs associated with caring for Sarah's three dogs and one cat while they lived together. Sarah claims that Mary failed to pay her share of these expenses, leaving her with a significant financial burden. Mary, on the other hand, argues that she was not responsible for these expenses, as Sarah was the primary caregiver for the animals. The judge must determine whether Mary owes Sarah money for these expenses, and if so, how much.

The second case, "Biking with Benefits," centers around a disagreement between two former romantic partners over the ownership of a bicycle. Plaintiff Jack claims that he purchased the bike during his relationship with defendant Brittany, and that it was a gift to her. However, Jack now wants the bike back, as he claims that Brittany has failed to pay him back for other expenses he incurred while they were together. Brittany, on the other hand, argues that the bike was a gift to her, and that Jack has no right to demand it back. The judge must decide who rightfully owns the bicycle in question.

Throughout the episode, Judge Faith interviews each of the parties involved in each case, allowing them to present their side of the story and any evidence they may have to support their claims. She asks probing questions and ensures that each party has a fair chance to make their case. Ultimately, she must weigh the facts presented and make a decision about how to resolve each dispute.
