'Bull' Season 4 Episode 14 Review: Dr Jason Bull's a dad now and the baby scene leaves a smile on fans' faces
Spoiler alert for 'Bull' Season 4 Episode 14 'Quid Pro Quo'
Getting a few things right off the bat. Bull is now a proud father. The season opener had a 27-year flash-forward where we Bull's daughter, pregnant and with her husband, and in 'Quid Pro Quo', we see her as a newborn. The concept for the case this time for TAC was borrowed from the college admissions scandal that rocked the country last year.
The plot is straightforward. A successful doctor is apprehended by the FBI minutes after he completes a risky heart procedure. He's detained for having bribed his way to college, of which he has no knowledge of. It is revealed that his father, who wanted the best for his son, managed to pay a hefty sum of money to get him admitted to an Ivy League college. And while the good doctor wasn't really the college champion, he did put his heart and soul to practice medicine and since then has been a savior to his patients.
Benny Colon (Freddy Rodriguez) and Bull (Michael Weatherly) have their work cut out. Get the doctor off the case and let him carry on with his work, and they pick a juror who seems to add to their winning strategy. Except, she is beyond the right selection as she was bribed by one of the lawyers investigating a different case, but had major connections with the college admissions scandal. A win here meant he could rid himself of the other case and win easily.
The typical trial sessions that we see in 'Bull' are in flow, except there are those sweet moments. One of them is Bull getting a call from Isabella (Yara Martinez) who goes into labor. While the first time is a false alarm, the second one isn't as we see the cute bundle of joy. With some help from Taylor Rentzel (Mackenzie Meehan), the TAC team finds out that the lawyer was behind the bribery of the juror and the proof is handed over to the Assistant District Attorney, who withdraws the case. Especially, when Benny tells her that the doctor insisted on this being reported despite the juror's advantage on his side.
Again, the episode takes the same route. The problem arises, The problem is solved. And while the audience may feel that this is a monotonous route, 'Quid Pro Quo' can be overlooked. 'Bull' fans who've hoped for the baby's arrival since the start of Season 4 will be pleased and can be pictured having a pleasant smile by the end of the episode. To prove this statement, here are a compilation of some fan tweets.
Starting off with this fan who tweeted: "A beautiful episode!" This can be followed up with a few more. Here's a tweet by a fan who read Weatherly's mind, "Just from the look on his face, you could see Michael was remembering when his children were born."
"What an amazing episode!! Absolutely beautiBULL baby girl!!" said a fan, expressing her delight. And now for the most important question asked by a fan. "Loved this episode! What is Baby #Bull's name?"
And just like this fan, we're all curious. For now, this episode was all about honesty and a baby. And that's a winner.
'Bull' airs on Mondays at 10 pm ET on CBS.
