A flashback episode lands Matty exactly where she needs to be.
Matlock is breaking form this week by starting with a flashback and confirming something I've long suspected about myself: I hate time shenanigans. There are some exceptions to this, but more often than not, the confusion the time flip-flopping causes the viewer rarely justifies the means. There's usually a bad wig or some other sad attempt to make the actors look younger than they are. I'm sad to say that Matlock, as much as I love her, didn't pass the test.
✕ Remove Ads Finally, we check in with Matty in the modern day. Alfie swears that he's deleted her entire dating profile and the mysterious Stanley won't be able to find her. She heads to work to find out they are retrying a case Olympia and Julian lost two years earlier. Their clients are two mothers whose nine-month-old son died after ingesting tainted baby formula, and they are suing the manufacturer for the mistake.
✕ Remove Ads Matty eventually gives Olympia a pep talk about how it's worth putting Vanessa through that, so she and Anna"get one more chance to parent their child," which is Matty's reasoning for continuing her secret investigation at the firm. First, Matty has to deal with Stanley, who has gone from e-mail to showing up in the lobby.
A Win's a Win Until It Isn't on 'Matlock' Episode 6 When Matty heads back upstairs, she and Olympia have what is becoming a routine heart-to-heart. Olympia asks about Ellie, and it immediately makes Matty emotional, but not in the erratic way Stanley did. She's delighted to talk about who her daughter was as a person, and not the circumstances that led to her death. This is when Matty pushes Olympia to not hold back when it comes to putting Vanessa on the stand.
Getting the money for Anna and Vanessa is less of a clear-cut win for Matty. She goes into the trial so sure that putting Vanessa on the stand is the right thing to do, but she second-guesses the decision after she sees what testifying does to Vanessa emotionally. Matty isn't sure the juice is worth the squeeze.
