Ep 17. Gag Order

In the seventeenth episode of the second season of the legal drama Bull, titled "Gag Order," the TAC (Trial Analysis Corporation) team takes on a unique case involving a female astronaut who has been accused of attempting to murder her former astronaut husband. NASA astronaut Ellen Chung is accused of tampering with her ex-husband's spacesuit, causing him to suffer from an oxygen deprivation incident while in space. As a result, he was forced to make an emergency return to Earth, jeopardizing his own life and the mission's success. The TAC team works around the clock to find evidence that disproves the accusations levied against Ellen, but they find out that the case is riddled with complications.

Their first major challenge is securing funding for the case. Ellen's former husband has hired the very prestigious law firm, which has much more financial resources at its disposal than TAC. Bull must find a wealthy benefactor to fund their case, someone who believes in Ellen's innocence and is willing to put up the considerable amount of money required for the defense.

The second major complication is the court's gag order, which prevents the TAC team from discussing the case in public. This means that they cannot release any information regarding the case to the media or post about it on social media. It also means that they cannot discuss the case with potential donors, making securing funding even more difficult.

Despite the challenges, Bull's team soldiers on and devises a unique defense strategy. Along the way, they discover that Ellen's husband is angling for a large payout. He stands to gain millions of dollars if he can successfully prove that his injuries were the result of Ellen's actions. Ellen, on the other hand, has become destitute since her arrest. Her space career has been put on hold, and she is struggling financially. As the trial progresses, Bull and his team must navigate through this complicated web of details to prove Ellen's innocence before it's too late.

As the team prepares to mount their defense, they are hit with yet another bombshell. Someone within TAC has leaked information about the case, and the media is buzzing. The leaked details threaten to destroy their reputation and damage Ellen's case irreparably. Bull and his team must work to identify the leaker before it's too late, navigating through their own internal politics and battles to keep the case on track.

As the trial progresses, the team is met with various twists and turns, ultimately resulting in a high-stakes courtroom drama that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. Through it all, the TAC team fights to exonerate Ellen and to expose the corruption and greed that threatens the integrity of the legal system.

The episode is a thrilling and captivating addition to the second season of Bull, with plenty of action and legal intrigue to enthrall fans of the show. With a multi-layered storyline and a highly talented cast, "Gag Order" is a must-watch for anyone looking for an exciting legal drama that will keep them guessing until the very end.
