The episode revolves around a complex and emotionally charged case between two individuals, Harvey and Jett, who met on a dating site and quickly moved in together. Their relationship was intense, with Jett claiming they had sex every day. However, the relationship took a turn when Jett discovered she was pregnant and moved back to Orlando. Harvey denies this and claims Jett demanded baby supplies. Harvey says, “After she found out she was pregnant, we stopped talking, she moved back to Orlando, she wrote… Why’d you stop talking? Because he was so sexually active with other women. He was cheating on me.”
Jett, in response to Harvey’s suit, petitioned the court for the results of a paternity test. She argues that she will finally prove that Harvey is Noelani’s biological father and says it’s time he steps up and acts like a man. Jett says, “I was asking him months, and months and months, can he get this, can he get that? And he say, “No, I’m not getting you anything… Until the baby is born.”
The case takes a turn when Harvey presents evidence of a Facebook post where Jett tagged another man in a picture of the baby. Harvey says, “She tagged another guy, and says she doesn’t know who the guy is. Well, why the picture still stayed on your Facebook? Your Honor. And my family had to tell me, “Oh, you know, she tagged another dude name in the picture.”
The results of a DNA test are revealed, showing that Harvey is not the father of Noelani. Judge Lake announces, “In the case of Harvey v. Jett, pertaining to four-month-old Noelani Harvey. Mr. Harvey. You… Are not her father.” The judge criticizes Jett for lying and being dishonest throughout the case. The court ruled that the defendant is entitled to $496.52 for expenses related to a child who was determined not to be their biological daughter. The plaintiff had demanded an itemized list of expenses, which the defendant provided. The court adjourned and the audience applauded.
