'Bull' won't be airing next week folks, it's time for another break. The past few episodes of Season 5 are wholly different from what we've seen before in the previous seasons and far more intense. Perhaps, as there are only 16 episodes this season, the writers are churning out unusual plotlines, such as a gay pastor caught in a twisted murder plot, a case of medical malpractice and a wife being framed for her husband's extremist actions. In addition, they have focussed more on character development this season making the hit CBS legal procedural more riveting, including incorporating Covid-19 and giving Benny Colon (Freddie Rodriguez) a boost. 

Sadly, there won't be any episode on February 2 on CBS. We'll probably have a rerun of an old episode. Although an official statement isn't issued by the network for not airing the episode, we suppose this would have to do with the production. There's no synopsis of the new episode and we just have to play guessing games with the title 'Cloak and Beaker'.

In Episode 7 of 'Bull', Benny showed his prowess, skill and expertise as an attorney for the nth time, as he rescued a woman from being arrested for no fault of hers. Her husband had planted a car bomb for an ATF agent, killing him and his two sons. The woman's DNA was found all over the scene of the crime and an old video of her playing with her son at an explosives storage area was revealed at court. It was particularly difficult and even Benny lost hope at one point. Nevertheless, he discovered that one of the FBI agents had gone undercover in a chatroom to speak with the terrorists. This points to the knowledge that they knew about the murder beforehand but didn't do anything about it because they thought the details were rather vague and were not sure if the man would carry it out. Twisting this knowledge to the best of his abilities, Benny saved another life.

What will 'Bull' be like without Benny, if he becomes DA?  Viewers are rather unhappy with that prospect as they feel the team would break apart.
