Today in the courtroom of Judge Bex, two tasty cases stand trial.

First, Arabella takes her dad to court, accusing him of smuggling – and eating –her precious American snacks. Can Dad Chris wiggle out of the charge or will Judge Bex tax him harder than 1773?

Then, it’s a battle of the sauces as Alistair’s love for ketchup frustrates his mum, who’s desperate to serve up healthy meals not drowned in red stuff. Is there a way for everyone to keep their cool – or at least their condiments?

Plus: Connor and Lauren do their best to unpick Judge Bex’s meaty sentences and try to keep up with ketchup chaos.

Meanwhile, sibling duo Frederick and Florence charge their dad with the heinous crime of switching off Fun Kids radio in favour of… country music! Yuck!

Do Ethan and Marcus do too much around the house while mum and dad relax – or is there more to the story? From filling water bottles and feeding the cat, to tackling the most boring task of all (the dishwasher), the boys say the list never ends! Mum Claire and Dad Alex argue back, but Judge Bex has a twist in store: a star chart for the parents, proof of chores, and extra screen time for completed tasks. 

Meanwhile, Mummy's snoring is so powerful, Penny claims she can't sleep! After an award-worthy snoring impression, all eyes turn to mum, who admits the issue – sometimes even waking herself up!

Penny wants earplugs, mum gets stitched up with a case out of left field, and Judge Bex lays down a surprising and sweet judgment.

Bonus: what should happen if mum wakes Penny multiple times in one night?

Sean has had enough! Every time he wins, receives, or buys treats like marshmallows and Toblerone, Dad just can’t resist. Is it a harmless household sharing culture, or a serious case of snack theft? Dad Adrian says he just couldn’t help it but Sean wants justice… and his chocolate back.

Meanwhile, Billy just wants to hang out and play Pokémon with his big brother Alexander – but Alexander would rather read or play chess than another round of battles. Is it fair for Billy to keep asking? Should Alexander be forced to play Pokémon if he’s not feeling it?  

Lauren and Connor reflect on the cases. Should treats always be shared? Is Judge Bex's suggestion of a "supermarket sweep" a fair price for snack theft? Is it a big sibling’s duty to entertain a younger one?

Baird is frustrated – his parents have been to lots of places, but he’s only ever been to London. Dad  says many trips were before Baird was born. What can be done? Turns out, even a Holiday Inn sounds fun! 

Meanwhile, Sisters Elsie and Isabel are at odds. Elsie is a prolific letter-writer, sliding up to 100 notes under Isabel’s door, despite their rooms being three meters apart! Isabel’s complaint: It’s repetitive, distracting, and sometimes she just bins the notes. But maybe letter writing is also a handwriting helper?

Stefano doesn’t appreciate his mum Francesca’s jokes and wants them to stop. Francesca claims her humour is genetic and can’t help making cracks about lamb at Easter... Judge Bex prescribes a household stand-up comedy competition with the fate of joke-telling hanging in the balance. 

Meanwhile. Tess’s desk is an alleged disaster zone, but she claims it’s organised chaos. Mum insists on tidiness, but is her own “bench of clothes” setting the best example – if she’s expected to tidy, mum should practice what she preaches!

Is it ever okay for parents to make cringe jokes? Should 'messy desk, creative mind' override 'tidy house, tidy mind'?
