However, this is just a tiny part of Benny’s story, the bigger part of the story is that Benny gets offered a job as the District Attorney of New York as the episode draws to a close. This leads to speculations claiming that Benny will be part of the TAC. But, if Benny were to go on and become the DA, that would essentially mean he's not part of TAC actively and won’t be featured in the show as much. Just to add to the mystery and the speculation, the IMDb cast and crew page for 'Bull' has listed Rodriguez, the actor who plays Benny only for two episodes of Bull Season 5. However, no definitive answer can be found until a brand new episode of the season airs next week. While fans can be sure that Benny will be on the next episode but in the bigger picture, it is quite possible that his role on the show might get cut short.
