Was it a horrible accident – or something far more sinister? The discovery may even be linked to the disappearance of Jackie's niece, Nessa, who went missing a few years earlier while Jackie was working as a detective.
"These two characters have so much history, they've gone through something deeply traumatic together," said Reilly of Jackie and Bull. "And I think Jackie, quite honestly, would love to never see him again because it's just too painful. She's not ready to. Bull is probably the worst person she could see in this moment because it just brings back all of the trauma of this case that they didn't solve together.
Spall went on to say that the "unconventional" relationship between Jackie and Bull was what attracted him to the role.
Alongside Reilly and Spall, a number of well-known faces crop up, plus some you might not be familiar with.
