Matlock

Warning!

Because of the cliffhangers,Matlockseason 2will deal with most of these things.

Before that, however, it’s a good time to revisit the series as a whole.

Matlock - Poster

Things go pretty well for Sarah, who doesnt yet know that her crush wants an open relationship.

ButClaudia responds to Billys proposal by telling him that shes not really invested in their relationship.

In her eyes, they were only still together because theyd become used to each other.

She didnt want marriage, and the fact that he did was the straw that obliterated the camel.

That upside might have limits, though.

The finale reveals that Claudia is pregnant, while his new girlfriend, Simone, remains a looming threat.

Its yet to be seen how Billy will balance those issues.

In the end, Olympia wins her client $2 million.

Unfortunately, Senior is prepared for this.

Tommys also been missing for three weeks following a drug relapse, something Matty understands all too well.

As such, shes initially supportive.

But before long, Olympia steps outside and sees Matty talking to Stanley.

Thats when Alfie says that he sometimes thinks Ellie wouldve gotten clean if she loved him enough.

Theres a desperation to that idea that makes it especially disheartening.

Theres something on the computer that Olympia seems worried about losing.

Julian even cries when Olympia tells him that Senior is awful for the way he treats his own son.

This sadly confirms how much disdain he appears to feel towards his child.

She now questions if hes a good enough man to be involved in their daughters lives.

Its partly sad because Julian only stole the documents to hopefully earn Seniors respect.

She convinces them everythings okay, but its clearly not.
