‘Bull’ episode 16 preview: When will Michael Weatherly series return?

Tonight, “Bull” is airing a new episode entitled “What’s Your Number?” that features the return of Jill Flint as Diana Lindsay. She’s a high-powered attorney, and a romantic rival for Jason Bull to boot. Her return gives the show all sorts of fun potential to play with … but unfortunately, is also going to be the last episode of the show you’re going to see in the month of February.

If you are wondering precisely when the show is going to return with new episodes, we can tell you that it will do so on Tuesday, March 7 with an installment entitled “Free Fall.” Ultimately, that is the only bit of information that we have at the moment. You can probably assume one thing about the story right now, just on the basis that it is the sort of thing that defines this show and keeps it interesting.

So why isn’t CBS releasing a synopsis or some further news about the episode right now? It’s a good question, but for whatever reason they’ve been very coy when it comes to sharing this information far in advance. It’s almost like “The Big Bang Theory,” another one of their hit shows, in that regard.

In general, we imagine that there are several big stories that could be coming still this season, mostly because the network’s been very careful about the number of episodes they’ve given since the start of the premiere in September. There seems to be seven more episodes still to come, unless they’ve managed to find a way to sneak-introduce a few more installments in the mix that nobody knows about just yet. (It seems unlikely.) We’ll get to learn more about the TAC, see some interesting clients, and hopefully set the stage for an epic finale that really challenges the team in a way that we haven’t seen seen them challenged before.
