"Duke Time" is the eleventh episode of the third season and the fifty-first overall of LEGO City Adventures. It first aired on April 16, 2021 in Canada.
Synopsis[]
When an exhausted Duke Detain makes an uncharacteristic mistake on duty, he volunteers to take his first-ever day off.
Plot[]
The episode begins at night, where Duke DeTain is patrolling the city. Chief Wheeler encourages Duke to call it a night due to Duke doing his (and everybody else's) double shifts along with there being no crimes around. Duke spots what he believes is a 3378.2, Frankie Lupelli walking down the street with a stolen painting. However, upon arresting Frankie, it turns out to be a 5563.7, Frankie Lupelli innocently walking with a gift for his grandmother. Guilt-ridden over arresting someone who turned to be innocent, Duke finally bites the bullet and agrees to take tomorrow off.
Come next day, Duke discovers that for him, resting is harder than it seems. He decides to approach his day off like a police officer and starts with making breakfast, only to find that he has no food or fridge. He visits Shifty, who claims not to have any fridges, but after Duke leaves, he tries to sell some. Duke then visits Mr. Producé for food, but ends up accidentally destroying his stand. While walking, Duke witnesses a bank robbery in process, but when he goes to stop Ice, Cream, and Truck, the other officers have already nabbed them.
Later in the evening, Duke decides to rethink his approach while strolling in the park. After witnessing a beautiful view of the city, he encounters Frankie, who is painting a portrait of the city. Frankie explains that today is his day off from crime and this is how he unwinds. Duke then returns to his apartment and tries painting and finds it relaxing. The episode ends with him getting back into action as the day ends.
