A young man sues his ex-convict mom for forging his name on a lease, leaving him stuck with a $10,000 debt and ruined credit. She denies responsibility, claiming he agreed to co-sign and blames him for the fallout.

The Judge rules on two cases in this episode. In the first, a man shoots what he thought was a menacing dog attacking livestock, only to discover it is a neighbor's visiting family pet. Next, a grandmother sues her ex-daughter-in-law for trip expenses after her grandson was pulled from a Japan vacation at the last minute. The mother, amid a custody dispute, says she never approved.
