As they delve deeper into the case, Bull and his team discover that the accident may have been caused by a faulty part in the car that Ryder was driving.

With their case in shambles, Bull must come up with a new strategy to prove Ryder's innocence and save him from a manslaughter conviction.

In the end, Bull is able to put together a compelling argument that proves the car manufacturer was negligent in designing the vehicle, leading to a mistrial and a resolution that satisfies both Ryder and his grieving friend's family. Meanwhile, Benny comes to terms with his father's condition and makes the difficult decision to move him into a care facility.
