Day 16 of Wilson v. Karev and Stevens began under the same storm of media frenzy that had accompanied each day of this extraordinary trial. The legal showdown had grown increasingly chaotic, with accusations flying faster and further from relevance, yet capturing the attention of millions around the globe. As the sun rose over the courthouse, Jo Wilson arrived with a look of determination, while Alex Karev's demeanor teetered between agitation and smugness. Annalise Keating and Connor Walsh prepared themselves for yet another round of relentless courtroom drama.

The gallery was packed with journalists, fans, and curious onlookers as Judge Martha Wallace entered and brought the room to order. "Court is now in session. I expect all parties to focus on the issues at hand and refrain from unnecessary theatrics. Ms. Keating, you may proceed."

Annalise rose and prepared to call her next witness, but before she could, Alex Karev raised his hand, his expression one of barely concealed annoyance. "Your Honor, I'd like to address something before we begin."

Judge Wallace raised an eyebrow but motioned for him to continue. "Dr. Karev, this had better be relevant."

Alex stood, his voice dripping with sarcasm as he glanced toward Jo. "I'd like to bring up the fact that Dr. Wilson has a habit of leaving her car keys in surgery rooms. It's happened multiple times, and it's not only irresponsible but also dangerous."

The courtroom fell silent for a moment before murmurs erupted in the gallery. Jo's jaw dropped, her face a mixture of shock and disbelief. Judge Wallace banged her gavel. "Order! Dr. Karev, are you seriously claiming this as evidence?"

Connor Walsh stood, his face pinched with irritation. "Your Honor, I'd like to remind my client to focus on matters relevant to this case."

Jo couldn't hold back any longer. She stood, her voice shaking with a mixture of anger and incredulity. "Are you kidding me, Alex? My car keys? That's the best you've got? You're standing here, trying to ruin my life, and you're grasping at straws about my car keys?"

Alex shrugged, his smirk widening. "It's not just about the keys, Jo. It's about how careless you are. You don't think about the consequences of your actions, and that's the point."

Jo threw her hands up in exasperation and turned to Judge Wallace. "Your Honor, this is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Can we please move on to something that actually matters?"

Judge Wallace sighed, clearly losing patience. "Dr. Karev, unless you have something substantive to add, I suggest you let your counsel handle your defense."

Alex sat down, muttering under his breath, while Jo took her seat, still shaking her head in disbelief. Annalise whispered something to her, and Jo nodded, visibly trying to regain her composure.

As the day dragged on, the courtroom slogged through more testimony, cross-examinations, and heated exchanges. But just as the court prepared to wrap up for the day, Alex stood again, his expression smug.

"Your Honor, there's one more thing I need to address," Alex announced, drawing collective groans from the gallery.

Judge Wallace looked as though she might throw her gavel at him. "Dr. Karev, this had better be important."

Alex straightened, his tone dripping with mock seriousness. "Jo stole my telescope. It was a gift from my dad, and she took it when she moved out."

The courtroom erupted in laughter and incredulous murmurs. Judge Wallace banged her gavel furiously. "Order! Dr. Karev, this is not a forum for petty grievances."

Jo stood, her face incredulous but oddly amused. "Your telescope? Seriously, Alex? First my car keys, and now your telescope? What's next, my Netflix password?"

Alex glared at her. "It's not just a telescope—it's sentimental. But of course, you wouldn't understand that."

Jo rolled her eyes, then turned to Judge Wallace. "Your Honor, can we please address how ridiculous this is? He's trying to derail this entire case because he knows he's losing."

Judge Wallace sighed heavily. "Dr. Karev, unless you have concrete evidence or relevant claims, I will not entertain any further interruptions. This court will adjourn for the day."

As the gavel fell, Jo stood and turned to Alex, her eyes blazing. "You're unbelievable, Alex. First my car keys, now a telescope? You're acting like a child."

Alex smirked. "At least I'm not the one flipping out over everything."

Jo took a deep breath, clearly trying to keep her temper in check. Then, she straightened and addressed Judge Wallace. "Your Honor, before I leave, I'd like to formally request a restart of this trial. I have something important to say, and it needs to be heard."

Judge Wallace looked at her skeptically. "Dr. Wilson, a restart is highly irregular and unlikely to be granted. What exactly do you have to say?"

Jo shook her head, her voice calm but resolute. "I'll save it for the next session. I just wanted to make my intentions clear."

With that, she grabbed her bag and strode toward the exit. But just as she reached the door, she turned back and flipped Alex the middle finger, her expression triumphant. The courtroom erupted in gasps and whispers as Alex's face turned red with fury.

Judge Wallace banged her gavel one last time. "Dr. Wilson! That is highly inappropriate! Court is adjourned."

Jo walked out without looking back, leaving the courtroom buzzing with shocked amusement. Outside, reporters clamored for her attention, but she ignored them, her head held high. Inside, Alex sat fuming while Connor rubbed his temples, clearly at his wit's end.

Day 16 had taken the trial to new heights of absurdity, leaving the world eager to see what fresh chaos the next day would bring. One thing was certain: the feud between Jo Wilson and Alex Karev was far from over, and the courtroom drama was only just beginning.
