The courtroom was buzzing with anticipation as Day 15 of Wilson v. Karev and Stevens began. The case had transcended being a simple legal battle and had become a cultural phenomenon, broadcast live to an international audience. Each day brought new allegations, fiery confrontations, and a level of drama that captivated millions. Today was no exception, with the tension between Jo Wilson and Alex Karev at an all-time high.

Jo Wilson sat at the plaintiff's table, her expression unreadable but her body language betraying the simmering anger beneath her calm exterior. Beside her, Annalise Keating exuded quiet authority, flipping through her notes with a sharp focus. Across the room, Alex Karev leaned back in his chair, his face a mask of defiance, while Connor Walsh whispered something to him in an urgent tone. Izzie Stevens was conspicuously absent once again, further fueling speculation about her relationship with Alex.

Judge Martha Wallace entered the courtroom and banged her gavel, immediately silencing the murmurs from the gallery. "Court is now in session. I remind all parties to remain professional and focused on the legal matters at hand. Ms. Keating, you may proceed."

Annalise Keating rose, her presence commanding as she addressed the judge. "Your Honor, today the plaintiff will present evidence that speaks to Dr. Karev's temperament and pattern of behavior. I'd like to recall Dr. Jo Wilson to the stand."

Jo stood, her posture confident as she made her way to the witness stand. After being sworn in, she sat down and folded her hands, ready to address the court.

Annalise approached her, her tone measured but firm. "Dr. Wilson, can you tell the court about an incident involving Dr. Karev that you believe highlights his inability to handle conflict appropriately?"

Jo nodded, her voice steady. "Yes. A few months before he left, Alex and I went shopping at Target. While we were there, he got into an argument with an employee over a return policy. He was yelling, being completely unreasonable, and acting entitled. He demanded to speak to a manager, and when the manager came over, Alex berated them too."

The courtroom murmured, and Judge Wallace banged her gavel. "Order!"

Annalise continued, her eyes narrowing slightly. "Dr. Wilson, do you have any evidence of this incident?"

Jo nodded again. "Yes. I recorded it on my phone because I was so embarrassed by his behavior."

Annalise turned to the judge. "Your Honor, I'd like to submit the video as evidence."

Connor immediately stood, his voice sharp. "Objection, Your Honor. This is irrelevant and prejudicial."

Annalise shot him a steely look. "Your Honor, this video speaks directly to Dr. Karev's character and his inability to manage conflict—a central issue in this case."

Judge Wallace sighed, clearly irritated by the constant interruptions. "Overruled. Proceed."

Annalise nodded and gestured to the court clerk, who played the video on a large screen for the courtroom to see. The footage showed Alex standing in the middle of a Target aisle, his voice raised as he argued with a young employee. His words were cutting and condescending, and he repeatedly demanded to speak to the manager. When the manager arrived, Alex's tone became even more hostile, berating them loudly enough to draw the attention of other shoppers.

The courtroom fell silent as the video played, the evidence of Alex's behavior undeniable. When it ended, Annalise turned back to Jo. "Dr. Wilson, how did this incident make you feel?"

Jo's voice wavered slightly but remained firm. "It was humiliating. I couldn't believe how he treated those people. It wasn't just about the return policy—it was about control and entitlement. It showed me a side of Alex I hadn't seen before."

Annalise nodded. "Thank you, Dr. Wilson. No further questions."

Connor rose from his seat, his face a mix of frustration and determination. He approached Jo with a feigned calmness, his tone laced with skepticism. "Dr. Wilson, you've provided a video that you claim illustrates my client's temperament. But isn't it possible that this video is taken out of context?"

Jo tilted her head slightly, her expression challenging. "What context could possibly justify yelling at a teenager over a return policy?"

Connor smirked faintly, as though he had anticipated her response. "Context matters, Dr. Wilson. For example, was my client under stress that day? Did something happen earlier that could have influenced his behavior?"

Jo's gaze hardened. "Stress doesn't excuse being rude and demeaning to people who are just doing their jobs."

Connor leaned in slightly, his voice turning sharper. "And yet, you chose to record this incident rather than step in to de-escalate it. Doesn't that suggest you were more interested in collecting ammunition against my client than resolving the situation?"

Jo's eyes flashed with anger. "I recorded it because I was shocked and embarrassed by how he was acting. And frankly, it wasn't my job to step in and fix Alex's behavior."

Connor straightened, his tone smug. "No further questions."

As the court wrapped up for the day, Judge Wallace reminded everyone to remain professional and adjourned the session. But as soon as the gavel fell, Jo and Alex were at each other's throats.

Jo stood, her voice rising as she pointed at Alex. "You're such a hypocrite, Alex! You act like you're the victim, but the truth is, you've been a walking disaster your whole life."

Alex scoffed, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "Oh, give me a break, Jo. You're just mad because I don't fall for your little 'woe is me' act anymore."

Jo's face turned red with fury, and she leaned across the table, her voice sharp and biting. "Don't be fucking rude, Alex! You're the one who's been dragging my name through the mud for weeks, and for what? To make yourself feel better?"

The courtroom staff froze, watching the explosive argument unfold. Alex smirked, clearly enjoying her reaction. "Looks like I hit a nerve."

Jo didn't back down. "No, you're just proving to everyone what I've known all along—you're a selfish, entitled asshole who can't handle anyone calling you out."

Annalise placed a hand on Jo's arm, trying to calm her down. "Save it for the stand, Jo. He's not worth it."

Jo took a deep breath, but her glare didn't waver as she turned and walked out of the courtroom. Alex watched her go, his smirk fading as the weight of the day's events settled over him.

Outside, reporters swarmed to capture every detail of the latest confrontation, their headlines practically writing themselves: "Karev's Karen Meltdown Shown in Court!" and "Jo Wilson Unleashes on Alex Karev in Explosive Showdown." The trial, now more personal than ever, had reached a fever pitch, leaving the world eager to see how it would all end.
