Bull Season 2 Episode 6 The Exception to the Rule

The Exception to the Rule is the sixth episode of the second season of the legal drama series Bull. The episode revolves around a well-known surgeon, Dr. Nora Birch (Khandi Alexander), who is accused of conspiring with representatives of a pharmaceutical company to cover up the harmful side effects of a drug that she helped develop. The prosecution believes that Dr. Birch deliberately withheld information that could have prevented the death of a woman who was taking the drug.

Bull is approached by Dr. Birch's lawyer, James Hanlon (Shaun Toub), to assist with the case. Bull and his team of experts, including Benny Colon (Freddy Rodriguez), Chunk Palmer (Christopher Jackson), and Marissa Morgan (Geneva Carr), conduct a thorough investigation into the events leading up to the woman's death. They uncover a complex web of deceit and corporate greed, which puts Dr. Birch's reputation and medical career on the line.

As the trial begins, the team faces several challenges, including a biased judge and a hostile jury. Dr. Birch's former colleagues and potential witnesses refuse to testify, fearing retribution from the pharmaceutical company. Bull and his team must employ innovative strategies to prove Dr. Birch's innocence, including using a virtual reality simulation to recreate the events leading up to the woman's death.

Meanwhile, Bull must navigate his complicated relationship with his ex-wife, Isabella (Yara Martinez). Isabella is representing the pharmaceutical company in the case and is determined to win at any cost. Bull is torn between his duty to his client and his loyalty to Dr. Birch, whom he believes to be innocent.

The suspense builds as the trial reaches its climax and the team presents evidence that could exonerate Dr. Birch. The jury must decide whether to believe Dr. Birch's account of events or the prosecution's theory of a cover-up. The fate of Dr. Birch and her career as a surgeon hangs in the balance.

The Exception to the Rule is a thought-provoking episode that explores the ethical dilemmas faced by medical professionals and the corrupting influence of corporate interests. The episode raises important questions about the way healthcare is delivered and the responsibility of doctors and drug companies to prioritize patient safety over profits. Bull and his team provide an insightful perspective on these issues and demonstrate the power of innovative legal strategies in the courtroom.
