The Ending Of Bull Season 2 Explained

While "Bull" has a procedural-style structure, with new cases almost every week, there are still many important emotional storylines that carry over throughout the whole season. In Season 2, one of these is Dr. Bull's continually building stress level, as his intense work ethic and lack of self-care begin to affect him both physically and mentally. In the final few episodes of the season, this is amplified by an encounter with his ex-wife Isabella (Yara Martinez), also known as "Izzy," and a very difficult case.

Known as somewhat of a cocky guy, Bull usually has a good reason for this attitude, as he's very good at his job. But in the Season 2 finale, Bull faces a case in which his client has been convicted of a horrible crime. Initially, the last hope Bull has to help him is to prevent his client from being given the death sentence, but thankfully, more clues show up throughout this process that point to a way he might be able to prove his client's innocence. 

By the end of the finale, Bull succeeds in saving his client's life, but at the same time, he begins to finally realize that he needs to take a good hard look at the life he's leading. Sure, his work is important, but not if he can't also have things like happiness and love, which Bull has been severely lacking lately. Seeing his ex-wife happy is just another reminder that he doesn't have it all together.
