Bull season 6 episode 6 is titled "Better Angels" and follows the story of a high-profile court case involving a young man who has been falsely accused of murder. The episode begins with the defense team, led by a young lawyer named Sarah, interviewing potential jurors for the case. As they begin to whittle down the candidates, they discover that one potential juror, a middle-aged woman named April, has a personal connection to the case: Her son was murdered several years ago.
Initially, Sarah is nervous about April potentially serving on the jury, fearing that her emotional involvement in the case will cloud her judgment. However, Bull is confident that he can use April's personal experiences to their advantage, and he convinces Sarah to keep her on the jury.
As the trial gets underway, it becomes clear that the prosecution's case is weak. The defendant, a young man named Jason, was found near the scene of the crime with the murder weapon in his possession, but he insists that he is innocent. The defense team tries to prove that Jason was framed by the real killer, but they are struggling to find any solid evidence to support their theory.
Meanwhile, April begins to struggle with her emotions as the trial progresses. She finds herself drawn to the defendant, who reminds her of her own son, and she begins to question whether or not he could really be guilty. Bull sees this as an opportunity to sway the jury in their favor, and he begins to tailor his arguments to appeal to April's emotions.
As the trial reaches its climax, the defense team finally comes up with a breakthrough: They discover that the victim's wife had a motive for killing her husband, and they find evidence that she was present at the scene of the crime. With this new information, they are able to provide a compelling alternative theory of the crime, and the jury begins to seriously consider the possibility that Jason might be innocent.
Ultimately, it is up to the jury to decide whether or not Jason is guilty. As they deliberate, Bull and Sarah anxiously await the verdict, hoping that their hard work and emotional appeals have paid off. Will justice be served, or will an innocent man be sent to jail? That remains to be seen in this gripping episode of Bull.
