A treatise on Alzheimer's
safenoe6 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Quite a poignant episode is Into the Mystic, especially with the plot twist of Alzheimer's that Bull discovers about his client. I never expected that at the end, but certainly it brings more clarity to the death of the victim in this season 4 episode of Bull.

A father abuses go accepted

The a side story line is a lawyer in training, working for Bull, his relationship with his daughter. He didn't know about his daughter so while she is grown he is trying to make up for lost time. This has him acting over the top jubilant behaviour on many levels - he calls repeatedly not giving her space to call when she wants to, then his messages are about him having gifts for her. Like that is impressive - its creepy and just plain wrong.

Continuous, pleading phone calls is harassment. It is abusive.

The father goes on to harass her when she says she wants to have an abortion - I understand the two sides, they don't' agree. AGAIN with the harassment, abusive number of phone calls because he concerned she'll go through with the abortion when she says no no no.

Bombard a woman with calls and texts AND banging on her dorm door is abuse. Regardless that the father is concerned, The concern is in his head because she will not receive his phone calls. SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO. Thanks to BULL's story line it is ok to abuse your daughter when you're concerned about her. NO IT IS NOT!

The typical victim gets killed but still deserved it routine

Warning: Spoilers
After 4 seasons Bull is at the end of its rope. In this episode, there was no tension at all. From the start, they dont even believe or question that the defendant is wrong, which they have done for many if not all of their defendants.

This is what i got from this episode, The defendant is "Rich" so she couldn't kill the victim, she also has a disease, expert witnesses painted the defendant as the victim, and you probably guessed the verdict.

Where the defendant was verbally and physically abusive (mocked the victim, throwing wine glasses) it should have been seen, that the defendant could have pushed the victim to do those things, but they skimmed over and downplayed it.

I thought of power was important factor in Bull's decision making, evident of the previous episode, I guess I was wrong.

all in all, Bull peaked on its 2nd season, which makes people think, now even from the start you can see the verdict. Now it's just tedious to watch.

Performance wise, a solid 6 for the cast and 8 for Freddy, which showed how an attorney should have acted, regardless of the defendant being right or wrong.
