As the third anniversary of a rapture-like event approaches, where 2 of world's population disappeared abruptly, the world keeps searching for answers and police chief Kevin Garvey faces struggles in both his personal and professional life.

Valerie Keenan, a young high school teacher, is found stabbed to death in the janitor's closet. The initial check of the surveillance tape doesn't turn up anything, but some of the students allude to the fact that another teacher, Mr. Bergen (Rob Campbell), was in a relationship with her. Bergen denies that anything was going on with Valerie and claims he was at the Mets game the night of the murder. The only problem is, the Mets game was rained out that night, but a local bartender verifies he stopped in. Then it hits Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) and Green (Jesse L. Martin); if it was raining that day, why weren't there any signs of rain (i.e. umbrellas, raincoats) on the surveillance tape?

When Bull assists the U.S. Attorney's Office with a manslaughter trial against a real estate magnate, Andrew Withrow (Toby Leonard Moore), he finds himself once again opposing Diana Lindsay (Jill Flint), his romantic rival. As the case gets underway, Bull's penchant for winning goes into overdrive when he realizes the defendant is a clinical sociopath determined to use Diana to antagonize him during the proceedings.

Bull aims to win over a federal jury without the use of hard evidence when TAC represents Hank Alston (Gino Anthony Pesi), a child recovery agent charged with fraud for not having documented proof of his covert work. Also, Izzy wants Benny to consider hitting back at his opponent in the District Attorney race when the other candidate engages in mudslinging before an important debate.

Holmes and Watson face their greatest challenge to date when a murder investigation threatens to destroy their partnership, in the conclusion of a two-episode sixth season finale event.
