Ep 21. How to Dodge a Bullet

Bull season 1 episode 21, titled "How to Dodge a Bullet," opens with the team at TAC taking on the case of a young woman named Abby who is being sued by a pharmaceutical company. Abby is a blogger who wrote an article about a drug that caused her to have serious side effects. The company claims that her article caused them to lose millions of dollars and they are suing her for libel.

As the team prepares for trial, they realize that the case might not be as cut and dry as they had initially thought. The drug company's lawyers are highly skilled and their case is strong. Bull (played by Michael Weatherly) and his team know they need to do something different if they want to win this case.

Meanwhile, Marissa (played by Geneva Carr) is dealing with her ex-husband, Greg, who has been released from prison and is now trying to reconnect with her. Marissa is hesitant to let him back into her life, especially when she discovers that he has been keeping tabs on her by following her social media accounts.

As the trial begins, the team is confident in their case. However, things start to go wrong when the pharmaceutical company's lawyers begin to attack Abby's credibility. They bring up her past mistakes and try to make her out to be a liar. The jury starts to doubt her testimony and it looks like the team might lose the case.

Bull realizes that they need to change their strategy if they want to win. He decides to put Abby on the stand one more time, but this time he has a plan. He has her tell her story in a different way, focusing on the pain and suffering she went through as a result of the drug. This new approach helps the jury emotionally connect with Abby and they start to believe her.

As the trial comes to a close, it's clear that the team's strategy paid off. The jury finds Abby not guilty of libel, and the pharmaceutical company is forced to pay her a settlement. The team celebrates their victory, but Bull is still dealing with his own personal issues.

In the final scene of the episode, Bull is seen having a conversation with his ex-wife Isabella (played by Yara Martinez). Isabella reveals that she has been offered a job in Chicago and is considering taking it. Bull is devastated by the news and doesn't want her to leave.

Overall, Bull season 1 episode 21 is an intense courtroom drama that keeps viewers on the edge of their seat. The episode deals with themes of credibility, emotional connection, and personal issues. The characters are well-developed and the acting is strong. This is a must-watch episode for fans of legal dramas.
