When Ryan, Maria, and Eric are appointed justices for student court, Ryan must make a tough decision when Nicky and Katie try to take advantage of their friendship to get out of punishment for gambling in school.
Mr. Belding appoints Maria and Eric justices for student court and Ryan chief justice to teach them a lesson about responsibility. They initially take advantage of the position, using it to leverage a winning position for their team in the upcoming rainy day sports competition in order to win a trip to Catalina. But when Mr. Belding catches Nicky and Katie gambling on school property, Ryan is pressured to go light on them and must choose whether to give them a punishment that will mean they can't participate in the competition, or abuse his position to let them off the hook.—Chris the Geek
