The ending was quite controversial, but still this episode covered the bases. Racial profiling by the cops? Tick. Parental custody dispute? Tick. Anger management? Race? Definitely tick. Tick. What this episode didn't have was a jury because of the nature of the dispute.

I love this show! It's one of my favorites, it's always great! Well, almost...
This episode did not disappoint in its 34 minutes and 38 seconds but then Bull offered a solution to the problem that is absolutely insane!!!
There's only ONE solution in a case like this, both sets of parents sit together and come up with a plan to raise this child together. A detailed plan they can all agree on. Answer all predictable questions from diet and sleeping hours to moral values and religion. If they really love the child more than anything (more than themselves) they can give him a beautiful life full of love, experiences and choices when the most important thing is to do it together with a shared agreement about everything, even the things they disagree on. It's hard, very hard but in a way it's the same as when people with children get a divorce. Good parents will agree on a sets of rules so that the child won't become a tool in a sick game between them. Give the child a routine and the chance to know all four of them, both his biological parents and his adoptive parents. Anything less than that is a solution than is at the expense of the child. A child needs to know both his mother and his father (unless one of them is abusive).
Bull's solution is insane! Two siblings that will grow up comparing each other's lives is a terrible idea! If they share a FULL custody on both of them then maybe there's a point there but there're way more ways for this to go wrong than right especially before coming up a plan and before they even tried it. Sorry but I don't see how adding a second baby to this mess can fix it. Even the solution I mentioned is practically impossible to achieve (considering human nature and the fact that life is just so complicated sometimes). Sorry but I'm not on board with this! To me, this is CRAZY!!!

Another episode like this and I'm done. Thank you CBS. Stick to entertaining and quit pretending you are qualified to give social commentary. I've already quit watching other shows of CBS for this reason. Now I'm going to drop Bull
