## Recap

A successful surgeon is being sued. She’s being sued by her late patient’s daughter. The daughter blames Dr. Adrienne for her mother’s death and she’s suing her for malpractice. But Adrienne isn’t going down without a fight. She knows she did everything possible to save her patient’s life. Its what she normally does and so she was fighting the charges. She didn’t just want to settle. Adrienne’s hospital was footing the bill and they hired a lawyer for her. His name is Bryan Vincent. He was a big deal in the Medical Malpractice field. All the big hospitals have hired his firm and Bull was on the case as a consultant. Adrienne brought him in to help navigate the case for her. And he was doing everything he could make things easy.

But the lawyer was a pain. He was horrible in trial prep. He even told them that he was going to attack the daughter’s character and Bull tried to talk him out it. Bull believed that by attacking the daughter they were leaving themselves open to being called “cold-hearted” or worse “unfeeling”. Adrienne couldn’t be seen victimizing a traumatized daughter. He said as much to Vincent. Vincent seemed to ignore him. Vincent was doing that a lot and everyone thought it was going to be worse in court only something else happened. Vincent didn’t need Bull’s help after all. He was actually quite good in court.

Vincent was a completely different person. He was charismatic. He was funny. He managed to get the jury to trust him within moments and he picked out a jury that was perfect for their goal. People who understood risks. People who understood that the surgery was the mother’s choice. Not the daughters. the daughter blaming Adrienne was just horrible. The other side even brought in a nurse who was in the OR that day and the nurse said that Adrienne’s hand trembled. Now, that was a serious allegation. Adrienne could never operate again if her hand was trembling and so she naturally denied the allegations.

Vincent didn’t think they could win over the judge after that allegation. He said it was now a losing case and he suggested that they reach a settlement. Bull disagreed with him. He fired Vincent. He got Chunk as Adrienne’s lawyer. Bull was so sure that Adrienne didn’t tremor that it surprised to walk in on her hands shaking. She was just drinking a glass when her began trembling. Bull witnessed it. He knew that Adrienne has a tremor and he asked her if she did that in surgery. she denied that she did. She said the tremor only came on recently because of stress and the pandemic. And that she was otherwise fine.

Adrienne was assessed. She was seen by a doctor and he couldn’t find anything wrong with her. Not that they would be able to sell that to the judge because Bull has seen the tremor for himself. He couldn’t let Adrienne lie on the stand. They instead had to come at it with a different angle. Like the nurse that saw the tremor. Adrienne swears it didn’t happen in surgery and so Bull and his team looked into the nurse. The nurse was woefully incompetent. She got yelled at by Adrienne the other day. The team dug into her and they found out that she has been transferred three times in a short timespan because she was constantly making mistakes.

Most of her mistakes came right after someone died under her care. The nurse was an angel of mercy. She killed sick people she thought were suffering and in truth she was actually a serial killer. Now, getting her to admit so on the stand had been difficult. Bull got some help from Vincent and he and Chunk rearranged their case. They later confronted the killer nurse. They got her to admit that she was killing people. She was doing so because her victims had been left alone at the hospital with no one to care for them. Not even their families. The nurse confessed everything once she had been confronted with the evidence that Bull’s team gathered.

The nurse was going down. Everyone could see it. The victim’s daughter later dropped the malpractice suit. She knows now that Adrienne didn’t kill her mother and so she asked Adrienne’s team for help in building a case for the NYPD. The nurse did kill someone after all.

And Taylor ran a background check on Marissa’s new boyfriend, but things didn’t go well once she told Marissa that Henri is married.
