Jessa Northrup (Bull)

Jessa Northrup (Holly Holcomb) is a villainess from "Gag Order," episode 2.17 of Bull (airdate March 13, 2018). She is a former CIA Agent who worked at GoldLark, a private security firm.
GoldLark became aligned with Spark4U, a dating service company whose app was revealed to have security flaws. A number of women who used the app were sexually assauited by their dates, who easily gained access to the app due to its shoddy security. When Chloe Tomlin, a journalism professor, discovered the app's problems and planned to expose them, Jessa was enlisted to set her up and sabotage her efforts.
As part of her plan, the evil Jessa posed as an emplyoee of Spark4U and sent Chloe a number of files for her to take as evidence. It was only then that the villainess improved the company's security, and while Chloe was taking the evidence, she was caught and arrested. In addition, Jessa had used a key card given to her by the company's boss, Garret Gatewood, as part of the ruse.
The plan was to have Chloe set up as a thief taking trade secrets, and regarding Dr. Jason Bull taking the case, it was done due to one of Chloe's students being Anna Baker, the daughter of Chunk Palmer. After Jessa's role was discovered, she was called to testify, but after admitting to her company's link to Spark4U, she used her fifth amendment rights to deny her direct role in setting up Chloe. After Garret's role was revealed, it was assumed that Jessa was arrested (off-screen) for her role as a conspirator.
