It's another enticing, devilish night on 'Prodigal Son'. After being forced to bring his daddy to work in the previous episode, Bright's woes continue in the direction of wherever his family goes. As he and Ainsley are about to team up and solve another case together, their mother Jessica has other plans, while their father and infamous serial killer Martin rejoices to be around them in pure glee. It's a lot of drama and hopefully just as much action going down in the next episode; reach on to find out when you can catch the next episode of this second season.

According to TV listings, the upcoming Episode 5 of 'Prodigal Son' Season 2 will air on February 9, at its usual 10 pm time slot on FOX. That's one worry off the list as TV shows have been notoriously taking random breaks through the winter season, outside of their designated mid-season ones. Scandal's Kate Burton stars in this Episode 5 titled 'Bad Manners' in the role of Sarah Windsor. She played Vice President Sally Langston in the ABC political drama.
