I have to applaud the use of "Hey Girl, by Billy Joel in this episode. That song literally saved my marriage. The plotline of Bull being the life guard, there to save Izzy belies the fact that it is Bull who needs saving. The use of that particular song shows that duality beautifully. Well done.

Worst Bull **** ever
astein-imdb6 February 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I never review episodes but this was so bad I feel compelled to comment. I like Bull and have watched every episode. This deviated from the usual pattern and was much worse for it.
First, voir dire is what Bull is famous for and it was skipped in this episode. They also come up with a complex plan to sway the jury. But it gets worse
**SPOILERS** While at a high level the facts are right, the financial details don't work. You could make a lot of money shorting a stock if you knew it was going to drop. But they say the girlfriend shorted 20,000 shares and if the stock dropped from $100 to $70, she'd make $600,000. She'd gotten $2 when her first husband died and millions more ($20M ?) when her second husband died. Why would she commit murder and fraud for $600,000? As well if you shorted 20000 shares right before a stock tanked, the SEC would investigate and might well void the transaction.
Net net, the whole financial angle is garbage and destroys the episode.
