After seeing how significantly it helped him, the doctor made it available for some of her other suffering patients. As Bull and his team prepare for this new development, the prosecutor leaks information to Child Protective Services that leads to the son being forcibly hospitalized. The son's new doctor concludes that CBD was the best available treatment, and Bull gets him to testify to this in court. Bull then has Benny craft a unique closing argument based on the concepts of personal opinions, conflicting state laws, and how each juror's opinion matters. ||||||||

| Kate Martin, an abused wife, shoots her English professor husband in the back while he sleeps. Bull's old friend from a battered women's clinic convinces him to help on the case, which is not difficult given that Bull's late sister was also an abuse victim. Bull opts for an all-or-nothing defense, Murder 1 or acquittal, with no lesser charges being considered. Bull is convinced that, although her husband was sleeping at the time she killed him, Kate felt her life and that of her unborn child threatened on a daily basis. This becomes difficult to prove, given that Kate rarely told anyone about the abuse and made only one trip to the emergency room, where she checked in under a false name. Danny and Cable are finally able to locate a teaching assistant that the husband cheated with. While the young woman was not abused herself, she did listen from another room as the husband fought with Kate and made threats. Elsewhere, Chunk confronts one of his law school professors who failed him in a class, convinced it was due to bias. ||||||||

While in jail awaiting bail, Bull meets a mute man who is kind to him. Bull then learns after being released that the man is Elliott Miles, the prime suspect in a rape-murder-arson case. Bull takes Miles' risky case, and begins annoying his team with his tunnel vision. He ignores Marissa's advice on a juror, and later makes trial decisions without consulting Benny. Benny is able to refute one eyewitness's testimony, but the prosecution then brings in Elliott's pseudo-girlfriend to testify that he came home later than she originally told police. Though it is revealed the prosecution made a deal with the girlfriend, the judge refuses to call for a mistrial. Bull tells Benny and Chunk he needs a drink, ending the episode on a cliffhanger. ||||||||

| Bull is awakened by Marissa on his office couch after a night of drinking, wherein he has dreamed about Izzy taking him back. Marissa visits a therapist about her possible co-dependency relationship with Bull. Elliott Miles is convicted of murder and faces a possible death sentence. New evidence arises that points to the crime being committed by a serial killer, causing Benny to try and sneak it in during the sentencing hearings without being held in contempt. Chunk reluctantly asks the law professor that failed him to testify that Miles does not fit the profile of the killer. After Danny and Cable do some legwork to narrow down the list of people who are likely the serial killer, Bull visits the prime suspect's wife, surmising she already knows the things her husband has done. The next day in court, an FBI agent visits the prosecutor's table, and the prosecutor then asks the judge that all charges against Miles be dropped. A relieved but exhausted Bull walks outside and lays down on the courthouse steps. He dials 9-1-1 and says he thinks he is having a heart attack. ||||||||

Even after learning that TAC is courting Alexander as a client, Taylor is not deterred, causing Bull to be furious when she deliberately exposes Benny to Lee before he meets with Alexander. Bull eventually sees things Taylor's way, and takes up Lee's case. The case proves difficult, as there is no video evidence, no physical evidence (Lee waited three days to report the incident to police), and Alexander has paid off all the previous victims that Danny can find.

The team grow concerned when they find evidence that Rachel has been acting emotionless and out of character, including going to work the day she reported Peter missing and suffering from lapses of memory. It is revealed Rachel has early-onset Alzheimer's disease, which triggered her memory loss and abnormal behaviour. The team finds previously overlooked evidence and a witness who testifies that Peter tried to kill Rachel by suffocating her, and she killed him in self-defense.

Eric swears on the stand that he fired six shots and the gun was empty.

After confirming attorney-client privilege, Charlie admits to Bull that he put the bullet in the gun. However, Bull and Benny share this with the prosecution to get Eric's charges dropped, stating Charlie committed perjury earlier in the trial which voids privilege.

Bull finds a way to pressure the insurance rep into settling with the boy's family while protecting the restaurant owners. ||||||||

The trial judge openly dislikes Bull due to a previous case, and forbids him from being in the courtroom. This forces Bull and Marissa to switch places. During the trial, the state tries to prove that the woman was actually the stalker. Taylor finds the man's cell phone and computers to be strangely clean, but after she and Danny find a hidden passage to the man's basement, they discover a high-tech gadget used to block outgoing signals. This turns the case in favor of the defense. Meanwhile, Taylor fears she is being ghosted by a man she recently dated. ||||||||

| Marissa's friend Stephen (Aaron Dean Eisenberg), whose younger brother has just committed suicide, wants to sue notable philanthropic businessman Peter Maybrook (Kevin Kilner) for abusing that brother in the early 1990s when he was a child. While New York has passed a law removing the statute of limitations on sexual abuse cases during a certain window, Bull and Benny say they cannot sue on behalf of the deceased. Stephen then reveals that he also was abused by Maybrook two years before his brother, and proposes to sue the billionaire himself. Bull looks to select jurors who can empathize with an individual's need for personal privacy, but the trial ultimately turns on evidence from digital cameras that the brother stole from the defendant. ||||||||

| Chunk's friend Reggie from his private high school days, who is now a counselor, asks if Chunk can meet with the parents of Antonio Garcia, a 16-year old who collapsed and died while training to make weight for a wrestling match. When Bull and Benny go to see them, the parents decide to reject a $500,000 settlement and sue the school and coach for wrongful death, mainly because the mother wants to know why her son died. The defense points to enrollment paperwork and contends that Antonio's parents failed to disclose a heart condition he had as an infant, but the mother contends that doctors told them the condition was gone by the time Antonio was five years old. Knowing the defense paid a medical expert well known for appearing in court cases, Bull and the team look for any occasions where she testified that an infant mitral valve condition cannot cause a heart attack in teens. However, the expert crosses them up by testifying she found evidence that Antonio was taking amphetamines before his death. Chunk finds an email trail leading him to discover that Antonio confided with Reggie about his amphetamine use. Reggie says Antonio did not want him to reveal his secret, but then says he did tell one person: Antonio's coach. ||||||||

| A white couple is left confused after the wife gives birth to a brown baby. The wife, an old friend of Taylor's, requests TAC's help, as the fertility clinic they used made a mistake with the sperm. Bull rejects the $40,000 settlement offer from the clinic and negotiates for $1,000,000 for the couple, but they soon learn that the black man whose sample the clinic used is requesting custody of his biological son for him and his wife. In court, Benny states that the wealthy black couple work long hours and have been looking for nannies, while the black couple's lawyer points out that the white husband attends therapy weekly to seek help from his abusive childhood. When divorce papers the white wife filed a year prior come to light, she defends herself saying she was suffering from hormones and mood swings during her pregnancy, while the opposing lawyer interjects that the wife had dropped the divorce solely upon learning of her pregnancy. Finally, Danny researches the black couple and finds out that the black wife is in remission from cancer. A compassionate Bull comes up with a solution: the white wife gives one of her eggs to the black couple for their fertility treatment in exchange for both couples being given visitation time with each other's children. ||||||||

| Dr. Samir Shadid, a successful heart surgeon who has saved numerous lives, is arrested and accused of knowing that his father paid a large sum to get him admitted to an exclusive university over ten years ago. Bull looks for jurors who believe in second chances, but the TAC team is forced to use their last available discretionary pick to choose between two jurors they don't want. Samir claims he was unaware of what his now-deceased father did. The middleman (actually a woman) who worked with the corrupt admissions officer claims Samir was present when his father made the payment, but Samir's mother swears on the stand that her son had no idea. During the trial, Bull is forced to leave when an overdue Izzy has pains, but it is false labor. The TAC team learns of a bribe being paid to a juror, which turns out to be from a lawyer who had also been accused of paying the same middleman and has an interest in the outcome. Bull shares this information with the prosecutor, and encourages her to drop the current case. As the court case closes, Izzy goes into labor for real, and gives birth to a daughter. ||||||||

| Vivian Cahill (Anna Wood), an old college friend of Bull, is accused of murdering her verbally-abusive father, Terrence, in their home. Bull accepts the case, but complications arise when Benny suffers from a bursted appendix during the early stages of the trial. Chunk stands in as Vivian's legal representative with Benny serving as his remote supervisor. The TAC team learn through their investigation that the culprit was not a debt collector harassing Vivian, but an illegitimate son of Terrence who accidentally killed him in a fit of rage. ||||||||

| FBI agents arrest Elena Smith for kidnapping her 3-year old niece, Sarah Cooper, 12 years ago because of overwhelming evidence that Sarah's father, Jim Cooper, was abusing both Sarah and his now-deceased wife (Elena's sister). Sarah, now 15 and known by the name Chloe Smith, has been raised by Elena as her daughter. Bull and Benny anticipate a difficult trial, given that there is no doubt Elena is guilty of the crime, so Bull hopes to select jurors who will see the act as a rescue instead of a kidnapping. Marissa proposes that Jim, now living in Florida with a new wife and 2-year old son, could still be abusive, so Danny goes to investigate. Danny finds evidence from the son's preschool that he has been abused, but the judge will not let Benny call any witnesses who did not see Jim abuse his wife or son first-hand. Danny locates the wife, Sofia, and coaxes her to appear as a witness, which turns the case around. ||||||||

| Due to a previous pro bono agreement that TAC is required to honor, they defend Dr. Natalie Reznick, who is accused of sending anthrax-laden cards to multiple people, two of whom died from the substance. The letters were sent shortly after federal funding was cut for the research Reznick's department conducts. While it's widely believed she sent the cards to prove that anthrax is still a threat, Reznick insists she's been framed. During the trial, which is not going well, Marissa opens a card with Taylor nearby and a powdery substance explodes out, potentially contaminating both. It turns out to be powdered sugar, likely sent by someone who is angry with TAC for defending "Dr. Anthrax". Danny and Taylor ultimately construct video evidence from a series of cameras that show Reznick's supervisor mailing letters within the opportune time window. ||||||||

| On a snowy evening, train pilot Walter Mora (Craig muMs Grant) sees a green signal but his train crashes into a parked train, killing four passengers and injuring several more. Mora awakes from his own injuries six days later with no recollection of the incident. TAC takes the case, defending Mora against the train company which has ruled pilot error, but Bull quickly notices that Mora is depressed and seems unwilling to fight. Danny interviews a potential witness, another train pilot who was fired for saying a signal was green when it should have been red, but he could see the idle train in the distance and was able to stop. After that witness is ruled out because there is no proof to support his claims, Taylor works all night to uncover anomalies in the train company's maintenance records that support intermittently malfunctioning signals. Meanwhile, Benny presses Bull to get his daughter baptized, while Bull is refusing because Izzy will not marry him for a second time. ||||||||

| Idealistic Judge Duggan (Kelcy Griffin) is arrested for obstructing the FBI when they show up in her courtroom to arrest a witness, a nurse who helped a doctor in an assisted suicide. Duggan had allowed the witness to leave out the back door of the court so she could meet with lawyers before being arrested. The FBI claims they are within their rights to arrest anyone on a Federal crime, but Duggan contests witnesses who make deals should not feel threatened by another agency. Bull instructs Benny that they want jurors who can see not just the letter of the law, but also the intent of the law. Benny seems to be making headway in the hearing, when the prosecution calls a rebuttal witness to the stand. The witness says Duggan had lunch with him twice to discuss the possibility of a daytime courtroom show. Though Duggan says she made no deal with the witness, the jury is affected and finds her guilty. As a last-ditch effort, Bull and Benny find a way to appeal to the acting judge (Xander Berkeley) in Duggan's case during the sentencing phase. ||||||||

When Caroline doesn’t make it through surgery, leaving her 12 year old son orphaned, Taylor wants to take the matter to court. Although the immunity agreement prohibits a manslaughter trial, TAC is able to bring a civil suit. During the investigation, it becomes evident the diplomat's daughter is protecting her friend who was actually driving and does not have the same privileges of diplomatic immunity. ||||||||

| As the COVID-19 lockdown becomes prolonged and jury trials continue to be postponed, Bull begins to worry if he can pay his staff and keep his office open any longer. An opportunity arises when a representative from LDI, a company that uses software to assist landlords in background checks for potential tenants, says they are being sued by multiple people who were denied apartments because others with the same or similar names had background issues. Desperate for a paying client, Bull takes the case, but soon learns the jury will be remote and TAC can only hear them, not see them. Bull becomes convinced that a juror Marissa does not want is the key to winning the case, but he cannot explain why. After the case seems unwinnable and is sure to go to a settlement, Bull insists he wants to meet that juror. When he does, the juror looks just like Izzy. Bull then awakes from a five-day slumber, having recovered from his own bout with COVID-19, and realizes the entire LDI trial was a dream. When Benny enters the room, he tells Bull that New York will be resuming jury trials. Bull immediately asks about jurors, and learns they will be present in the courtroom, wearing masks and sitting at least six feet apart. The episode ends with the main cast doing a lip dub to "How Can I Be Sure" by The Young Rascals as the sets are dismantled to show how the series is being produced during the COVID-19 pandemic. ||||||||

| Chunk agrees to defend Lily Knowles, who is being sued for wrongful death in a case brought by the wealthy Evelyn Waters. Waters' daughter Claire and her boyfriend were killed by a collapsed beam in a dilapidated building used by struggling artists as a place to squat and work. Lily is accused of encouraging artists to stay there, despite being told that the building was unsafe. As Chunk is surveying the building with Lily, Benny shows up with Evelyn. They bring the conflict of interest concerns to Bull, who initially says TAC must defend Lily because Chunk was first to line up his client. Benny argues that Chunk's client is pro bono while Evelyn can pay, and TAC desperately needs a paying case. Bull then says they must try to get the judge to agree to TAC representing both sides, which she does after accepting their terms. Benny has Danny and Marissa work for him, while Bull and Taylor work for Chunk. As the case moves along, Chunk confides to Bull how much he needs to learn from Benny, whose tactics appear to be working. The jury indeed finds Lily responsible for the two deaths, but they award damages of only one dollar. As the episode closes, Benny is approached by an ADA, who tells him the current District Attorney is embroiled in controversy and will be stepping down. He wants Benny to run for DA in a special April election. ||||||||

| When her transport van is pulled over in an area off the beaten path, prisoner Ronnie Vincent escapes into the brush, causing guard Roland Terrell to accidentally shoot and kill his partner who chased after Ronnie. TAC represents Ronnie, with Chunk believing her claim that Terrell was preparing to rape her. TAC looks for jurors that may distrust authority figures, but their final selection turns out to be someone Marissa knows from high school. When she joins a classmates website to look him up, the man makes contact with her via text. This gets the juror thrown out, and the only alternate is a juror that TAC strongly avoided. During the case, Chunk points out that Ronnie had no incentive to escape with her sentence on jewelry theft ending in six months. The prosecutor brings evidence that the other thief involved is getting out three months earlier than Ronnie, and there was about $300,000 in jewelry never recovered. Terrell owes the van being pulled over to recurring mechanical issues, which the police motor pool representative seems to confirm. However, Danny learns of one van that was never checked for evidence because it had recently been decommissioned. That van turns out to have Terrell's semen in it, showing a pattern of raping female prisoners. Meanwhile, Benny and Izzy wonder why Bull has not given his blessing for Benny to run for DA. Bull says he is worried about the dirty nature of politics, but ultimately assures Benny he will support him. ||||||||

| Marissa is awakened early in the morning by FBI agents and hauled downtown, where she sees her estranged husband, Greg. Agents state that Douglas Scott, who owns a third of Greg's restaurant, is a drug dealer that has been laundering money through the establishment. They accuse Marissa and Greg, who still co-own the other two-thirds, of being complicit. Greg tells Marissa that he knew something smelled, but he chose to look the other way because it meant he could keep the restaurant open. TAC represents both Marissa and Greg, but on the day of Marissa's testimony, Bull advises her to be completely honest, even if it hurts Greg. Marissa does imply on the stand that Greg knew Scott's money could have been dirty. Greg then flees the court before his turn to take the stand. The next day, the federal prosecutor tells the judge they have accepted a plea: Greg will serve a reduced sentence of no more than 36 months in exchange for having the charges against Marissa dropped and cooperating in the case against Scott. On the courthouse steps, Marissa thanks Greg and invites him to Christmas dinner. Meanwhile, Bull is conflicted over giving Izzy an engagement ring for Christmas, wary following her two failed marriages, including the first one to him. Two days before Christmas, Izzy gives Bull an engagement ring and pops the question. ||||||||

| TAC defends Rey Lucas (Liam Wright), a prominent religious leader with a large following who is accused of killing his wife, Olivia. The pastor's credibility is challenged when it's revealed he had a secret gay lover, which he kept hidden from his parishioners as well as thousands of readers who bought his book about marital success. The pastor insists Olivia knew about his sexuality, and in fact she had a lesbian lover, but they stayed married for their mutual benefit. The case is further complicated when the wife's lover testifies that she was pressuring Olivia to end her marriage. A later revelation that Olivia also handled finances for the church points to another motive and another suspect. ||||||||
| 93 | 6 | "To Save a Life" | Bethany Rooney | Chamblee Smith | January 18, 2021 (2021-01-18) | 506 | 4.68 |
| TAC defends Dr. Kinsey, who is being sued for malpractice after a patient, one of several mass shooting victims in the ER on the fateful day, dies while under her care. Kinsey was forced to make a choice between two victims, and chose to use a non-authorized REBOA procedure to stabilize a male patient while attending to a female patient whose condition was worse than initially thought. The male patient, Watkins, died after Kinsey's life-saving efforts on the female patient took too long. Bull assigns Chunk to try the case, over the client's initial objections. The prosecution argues that the procedure and Kinsey's neglect caused Watkins' death, and testimony from a nurse (whom Kinsey scolded that day) and the supervising surgeon Dr. Park seem to back up the charges. Chunk ignores Bull's request to call for a recess at a critical point, explaining that he thought the jury needed to hear his cross-examination immediately. Bull angrily says Chunk got lucky, and insists he obey his instructions next time. Prior to the last day in court, Chunk sees something on hospital video that turns the case in Kinsey's favor. Afterward, Chunk tells Benny of the rush he feels by helping a client win, and Benny responds that it's one thing he will miss if he becomes District Attorney. ||||||||
| 94 | 7 | "The Head of the Goat" | Mike Smith | Sarah H. Haught | January 25, 2021 (2021-01-25) | 507 | 5.38 |
| TAC is contacted to provide defense in a federal case wherein Alicia Doherty, a wife and mother, is accused of assisting her husband who blew up an ATF agent's vehicle with the agent and his two young sons inside. The accused husband was soon shot dead by FBI agents, who then arrested Alicia. Bull and Benny face significant circumstantial evidence and even some physical evidence when Alicia's fingerprints are found on some of the bomb materials, but she testifies her husband asked her to buy the circuit board and wiring under the guise that he was building a computer. Benny faces concerns from his campaign team and Izzy that defending a possible domestic terrorist won't play well in his run for DA, but Benny insists his loyalty to TAC won't be compromised. Benny recalls an FBI witness after TAC discovers he was undercover in an anti-government chat room with the bomber, getting the witness to admit the man's posts gave him no reason to know he would go that far, and thus he could not arrest the culprit before the incident. A reporter from a prominent newspaper sees Benny's cross examination and passionate closing argument, and tells him that the paper will be endorsing him for DA. ||||||||

| Dr. Edwin Pruitt is arrested after stealing his own research material from his employer, Bressadyne Labs, and trying to carry the material onto a plane bound for the United Arab Emirates. Pruitt says he made a breakthrough in developing a cure for Parkinson's disease, but Bressadyne shut it down and stripped his funding soon after. He is sure they did so because the firm would make more money treating Parkinson's than curing it. In court, the prosecution says the stolen material contains viruses that could be weaponized by a foreign entity. Pruitt claims he only chose the UAE after they promised the most funding and support. Bull tasks Taylor with trying to hack Bressadyne to see if they left anything out of discovery. Although Bressadyne's systems fought back almost immediately after the firewall breach, Taylor was able to grab a screen shot showing the file size of a key meeting minutes document. She notices the file size in the screen shot is larger than the file Bressadyne provided in discovery. Knowing none of the management will testify to what is left out of the minutes, Danny seeks out the administrative assistant who actually took the minutes and gets her to testify. Pruitt is found not guilty and freed, but angrily asks when he will get his research back. Bull assures him that when this case hits the press, Bressadyne will surely let him continue his research at another lab, rather than be known as the company the killed the Parkinson's cure. Meanwhile, Taylor has concerns about leaving her son with her ex-husband after seeing he has a new, younger girlfriend that she knows nothing about. ||||||||

| Legal TV personality Madeline McBride (Callie Thorne) is convinced that Jeremy Brennan is guilty of raping and murdering his preteen stepdaughter, Kaylee, though police have not made an arrest. Madeline's claims cause Jeremy to be constantly harassed, leading to a lawsuit brought by him and his wife, Kaylee's mother. TAC wants to convince the jury that McBride has first amendment protection, but Bull and Benny are taken aback when McBride continues to target Brennan on her show while on trial. Even worse, Brennan commits suicide, with a witness later testifying that he suffered from depression. The defense is further weakened when another man confesses to the rape and murder. Despite TAC's best efforts, McBride is found guilty and ordered to pay damages of $2.5 million. McBride is also fired by her network, but assures Bull and Benny that the publicity generated by the trial will easily land her a broadcasting job somewhere else. Meanwhile, Danny learns that not only has her estranged father passed away, but also that he moved back to New York a few years ago without telling her. ||||||||

| Following the funeral for her best friend Miriam, Izzy is approached by Miriam's youngest son, Taj, who suspects his mother's death was not accidental. The reason: Taj found his mother's earring in her upstairs bedroom, which he's certain she wore when visiting him at school earlier on the day she died. Police had reported she fell off a ladder on the lower floor of the house. Over objections from Taj's father and older brother, Miriam's body is exhumed, and evidence points to a skull fracture inconsistent with a fall onto a flat surface. After one day at trial, Taj's brother Arin approaches Bull and Benny, pleading with them to stop the trial before Taj, who has a history of drug abuse, is put on the stand. However, it later becomes clear why Arin wanted the trial stopped. ||||||||

| 13 years ago, Detective Kaminsky arrests Arthur Craddick for the murder of drug dealer Ivan Kovolchuk and Ivan's infant son, whom he was carrying. Arthur's arrest is based solely on eyewitness testimony, and Bull, then a forensic psychologist, appears at trial as an expert witness to refute the validity of the testimony. Arthur is still convicted and given 25 years to life. Convinced that Arthur was convicted because he had the wrong jury, Bull is inspired to start TAC, seeking out Marissa for his first hire. In the present day, Arthur hires Bull to help with his motion for a retrial, based on a confession from mobster Kiril Sidorenko. On his deathbed due to cancer, Sidorenko confesses on webcam that he could never get over killing a baby. However, Arthur's motion for a retrial is denied when Sidorenko dies on the way to the hearing. Bull succeeds in getting Arthur's sentence reduced to 18 to 25 years, based on uncovering Sidorenko's confessions to several other unsolved murders. This makes Arthur eligible for parole, and the team is able to get his parole granted when the wife and mother of the victims, Zasha Kovolchuk, testifies under pressure after Taylor uncovers evidence that Zasha has received monthly payments from Sidorenko for years. Arthur and his son, Leo, are celebrating his release when police arrive and arrest Leo for the murder of Kaminsky, who failed to appear for the second day of the parole hearing. ||||||||

| As TAC defends Leo who is accused of murdering Kaminsky, several things are working against the defense, including multiple witnesses seeing Leo threaten Kaminsky, Leo's prominent work with Black Lives Matter and arrest during a protest, and the fact that Leo's handprint was found on Kaminsky's car. Also damaging, a jury member TAC strongly opposed was forced by the judge to be among the twelve after TAC had already dismissed too many white jurors for the judge's liking. As the trial seems to be headed toward a conviction, Arthur takes the stand and confesses to the murder, later telling TAC he knew from experience that Leo would probably lose. However, Danny and Taylor are able to uncover evidence that Kaminsky was killed by two fellow cops who were involved with him in an illegal prescription drug ring. Leo's trial is dismissed, and a judge decides to throw out Arthur's perjury charge, given that he already served 12 years for something he did not do. ||||||||

She then turns the gun on herself but is tackled by another attendee before pulling the trigger. She tells Bull and Benny that she wants to plead guilty and will gladly take her punishment, including the death penalty. After hearing her story and learning that Navarre preyed on several young women between ages 14 and 16, Bull and Benny eventually decide to enter a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity. They get an expert witness to testify that Holly was likely suffering from a form of PTSD, leading to her actions at the funeral. As a trial strategy, Bull asks some of Navarre's victims to sit in the gallery. These women stand up during closing arguments, each confessing to having some part in helping Holly kill Navarre, which leads to a mistrial. As ADA Conway is contemplating a retrial, Bull convinces her that she can make a name for herself by doing what she knows is the right thing. Conway holds a press conference, saying the state will not pursue another trial as long as Holly agrees to psychiatric treatment. ||||||||

Anna also tells her father that she is dating a man, Brooks, who is about ten years older. Callum, who had earlier reluctantly agreed to the crime via text, is told he can get leniency if he names his cohorts. Callum refuses, leaving TAC with an uphill battle at trial. Chunk becomes suspicious of Brooks' keen interest in Callum, and asks Taylor to covertly look into him. His suspicions seem to be confirmed when Taylor reveals large deposits appearing in Brooks' bank account. However, Brooks turns out to have legitimate reasons for the deposits, while Callum finally reveals his co-conspirators -- his girlfriend Vanessa and her older brother Victor, who was calling the shots. Meanwhile, Taylor reluctantly contacts her ex-husband's girlfriend, Rachel, to watch her son, after running out of options.

| TAC defends Hank Alston (Gino Anthony Pesi), a former Army Ranger who is now a freelance child recovery expert. Hank's latest client Heather Shaughnessy (Gillian Saker) is suing him for fraud after he failed to return her daughter from the Russian father who kidnapped her and took her to his home country. Hank has to not only prove that he left Heather's child in Russia for her own safety, but that he has had success recovering other children. This proves difficult because Hank's previous clients want to remain anonymous due to fears that their spouses will attempt another abduction. Danny is able to track down one mother whose two children Hank recovered, but she does not want to testify because her Brazilian ex-husband, Beto, is currently in town. TAC locates Beto and puts him on the stand, where he becomes a hostile witness and eventually admits it was Hank who took his children in Brazil. Elsewhere, Izzy and ADA Keihl drag a reluctant Benny into the world of negative campaigning, resulting in one of Benny's opponents dropping out of the New York DA race. ||||||||

| As Benny surges to a lead in the DA polls, Bull is approached by David Sherman, the DA who recently stepped down amid a campaign contribution scandal related to charges he dismissed following a deadly crane collapse. Bull reluctantly takes the case for TAC because he owes Sherman a favor from a time when he and Benny tried one of their first cases. Bull asks Benny to trust him, not indicating that Benny himself would be affected if he declines Sherman's request. Bull, Chunk and the team try to argue that the charges against Sherman are politically motivated, given that the Attorney General bringing the case was set to run against Sherman for an open Senate seat. TAC and Sherman seem destined for defeat, until Benny appears as a last minute witness after a conversation he had with ADA Kiehl, the man who encouraged him to run for DA. Benny says that not only is he withdrawing from the DA race, but that Sherman should be returned to the DA position. Following a successful verdict, Bull arrives home to find Judge Rand, who presided over the case, waiting in his apartment. However, Rand is there to marry Bull and Izzy, in front of Benny and the TAC team. ||||||||

Bull and TAC have to fight a likely tainted jury, the public and the media, while Jackson continues to maintain his innocence.

The next day the verdict is in, and the jury awards damages of over $100 million. However, Bull's celebration is short lived, as he is arrested for jury tampering.

Donaldson's youngest daughter is a lawyer whom Chunk knows, and TAC takes Donaldson's case. However, Bull is ordered to take a step back, as the defense feels his current tampering charge could bias the jury unfavorably.

| The jury tampering trial begins, as Bull and his attorney face difficulty, given that Bull was seen outside the home of juror Randall Hughes. Bull insists he was only there to go through Hughes' trash, which is perfectly legal, though he admits he thought about approaching the witness. Hughes says he accepted $50,000 from Izzy's account because his son requires a kidney transplant, and medical bills have been piling up. The TAC team tries to track down the CEO of Smokestack, the defendant in the lucrative class action case, certain that he is behind the money transfer. However, when they learn Hughes' son got a donor kidney despite being far down the candidate list, their suspicions take them in another direction and ultimately exonerate Bull. ||||||||

Bull hopes to gain a jury in the "Christmas spirit" just days before the holiday, but a snowstorm forces the jury to work into Christmas Eve. Danny postpones her own trip to Aruba to learn from the dealer who sold Clara the drugs that there was no fentanyl in his product. On the final day of testimony, Bull sees Dasha's teammate shaky and likely withdrawing, and TAC later learns she has a fentanyl prescription to treat an injury.

Although she has already settled with the NYPD, the financially well-off mother says she is using the money to make sure no other mothers share her pain. She wants to go after the facial recognition software company, hoping to get them to admit they knew about flaws in its product. Taylor gets involved with a hacker named Tidal, and the two ultimately dig up dirt on the company and its CEO. The company offers to settle even though they are winning the case, with Bull surmising it's because they knew they were hacked and that their shady financial dealings would become public. Meanwhile, Marissa accepts an offer to work for rival Bradley Lena. Bull seemingly wins her back by giving her a 20% raise and apologizing for not offering her Benny's office. But Lena makes one more move to secure Marissa: he offers her a full partnership and renames his company Lena-Morgan. ||||||||

She undergoes a very risky surgery to be deemed no longer a threat. Bull hires a well qualified man to replace Marissa, but later goes to her new office to make a plea for her to return. Marissa says she loves her new job and rejects Bull again. Later, Bull and Chunk meet with the FBI reps and Taylor to get her exonerated, stating she did nothing illegal and has no obligation to work with the Feds.
