Bull season 2 episode 3 preview: Bull’s fraternity case

Is Bull season 2 episode 3, entitled “A Business of Favors,” meant to be ripped from the headlines? We wouldn’t quite say that, but we do think at the same time that there is a clear opportunity here to speak towards something that does happen all of the time: College hazing. We don’t understand the logic in it or why it makes you cool, but at the same time we didn’t pledge to a fraternity. The culture of it is something that we’re very foreign to.

Yet, we do know that the CarterMatt review for this episode next week could be pretty positive just based on the premise of the episode — while the central crime is horrifying, there may be some compelling drama that comes out of what Bull runs into in his investigation.

Bull season 2 episode 3 synopsis – “The DA’s office asks Bull to assist them in their prosecution of a fraternity when a pledge accidentally drowns during a hazing incident, but his efforts may be derailed when the students close ranks to stonewall him, on BULL, Tuesday, Oct. 10 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.”

How can you manipulate a case when you can’t figure a case out? This is what makes this case so interesting given that the DA isn’t going to be able to build a case without witnesses. We know that Bull is exceptional at reading juries, but could he also be effective at reading witnesses at the same time? One of the reasons we wonder on that subject is because his skill set could prove very much valuable if the real goal here is trying to ensure that there are some young men willing to testify. The DA needs that, and they may not be overly concerned as to how it happens so long as there are not some other laws that are egregiously broken along the way. It’s going to be an interesting story to watch unfold and we’ll have plenty of coverage all about it.

About the promo

This one made it very much clear that none of Bull’s fifteen defendants in the case were interested in talking — as a result of that, he is facing his “most baffling” case yet. We feel like this is going to be a tough struggle for him to piece together the truth, but somehow he has a knack for figuring that out.
