About This Program ✦
The programme is a stand‑alone episode that follows a courtroom showdown between two former partners. After first linking up on a dating website, they've ended up on opposite sides of a legal dispute. The episode tracks how their online connection eventually leads to a formal battle in a judge's chambers. Having initially met through the dating site, the two become ex‑lovers before their relationship dissolves. The breakdown culminates in a court appearance where they argue over who should retain the engagement ring that was originally presented as a token of commitment. Simultaneously, they're disputing responsibility for a series of unpaid credit‑card charges incurred while together. The courtroom drama centres on the question of ownership of the ring, with each side presenting evidence that they are the rightful holder. Both parties maintain that the ring belongs to them despite the breakup, turning a personal memento into a contested piece of property. The judge must weigh these claims carefully. In addition to the ring, the dispute extends to unpaid credit‑card balances that were accrued during their time together. The court must decide how these financial obligations are to be divided between the former couple. By the episode's end, the legal process provides a definitive resolution to both the jewellery and the outstanding debts.
