## Recap

Bull and Chunk arrived at a military base. Bull was called by his psychiatrist friend Colonel Taggart. A soldier named Carter was accused of murdering his best friend and fellow soldier Nathan. Carter also confessed to killing his buddy and Bull was confused about how he could help Taggart. Soon after, Chunk and Bull met with Carter who revealed that a car backfired while he was drinking with Nathan. He confessed to having taken Nathan’s gun and shot him. However, he did not remember any other details about why and how it happened.

Elsewhere, Chuck has breakfast with his journalist daughter Anna. She told him that she was covering the military murder. Chunk knew Anna’s editor put her on the case because she was Chunk’s daughter. The duo decided to keep their business to themselves. Moreover, Marissa’s French friend delivered her a painting at the office. But Taylor and Danni were curious who the man was. Marissa told them that she was helping him deal with an issue with the auction house.

At the court, Nathan’s wife confessed to seeing Nathan and Carter fighting outside the house. She saw the two friends arguing in the driveway for hours. Later, Carter told Bull and Chunk that Nathan wanted to go on another tour but he was not in the right state. Marissa tried to help her friend at the auction house, but, the personnel figured that Marissa was not a lawyer. And Taggart told Bull that he could not be a witness in the case as the military did not allow him. So, the team tried to devise a strategy to save Carter even without Taggart.

Danny went to a local shooting range to meet with some soldiers from Carter’s base. She tried to have a conversation about the recent murder and PTSD. One of the soldiers knew Carter and showed Danny a video of Carter blacking out during a birthday party. Bull and the team decided to focus on the PTSD argument. However, they had to drop the idea when Anna broke a story about Carter’s affair with Nathan’s wife.

Meanwhile, Carter did not want Nathan’s wife to suffer more and decided to plead guilty. Marissa bluffed the auction house in her friend’s favor while Danni found footage of Carter giving Nathan CPR. Carter revealed that Nathan tried to kill himself and he tried to cover his PTSD for years. And he kept lying so everyone would see Nathan as a hero. Next, Bull proved Carter was not guilty, using the videos while Marissa went on a date with her French friend. Chunk apologized to his daughter for lashing out as they headed for lunch.
