Matlock

Previously... The law firm Jacobson Moore hid documents

that could've taken opioids off the market

ten years earlier.

Think of how many lives that could've saved.

Including our daughter's.

Darling, I've been trying to reach you.

- Bitsy? - Your sister's here.

Use it as research.

Remember, Matty Matlock does not exist without Bitsy.

Can we just clear the air about what happened?

You mean with my husband? I've had enough people

hand me their guilt. You can keep yours.

- Talk to me about Slamm'd. - I'm not loving

how much of the firm's money you've spent.

Drop in the bucket.

This is the case that's winning me partner.

There was an incident. Sorority girl named Violet

suffered a heart attack after someone spiked her drink with...

- Slamm'd! - That little mistake

just killed a girl. Violet's dead?

If it were your child,

wouldn't you want someone held responsible?

I'm not saying don't blame anybody.

I'm saying blame the right people. Help us.

Force them to take this product off the market.

What on the good earth is going on here?

I'm putting together evidence, and when I have enough,

I send it to The New York Times and let them take it from there.

- The Redditor said, - "One of these three."

I can't believe it's Olympia, my friend.

Custard.

Clinically proven.

Well, not clinically, but believe you me,

custard always makes everybody feel better.

Well, Matty and Olympia were very close.

The sadness is just going to have to

take time to get through her system.

Oh, I understand sadness. I was married to Burt, remember?

Well, we'll both have to support her.

Morning!

Everybody ready? Big day.

Wh-What's happening?

Oh, we're reaching out to the Redditor.

What's a Redditor? Not what. Who.

ReadEmAndWeep31.

It's a person who posted on the Reddit board

about the hidden

Wellbrexa documents.

Do they work in the law office?

Don't know. They could be anywhere.

Darling, hold up.

You never reached out before?

Yeah, two years ago.

But they told us to basically, "Figure it out yourself."

And now we have. Olympia did it.

We know when the documents were stolen, what day, what time.

But do we know what was in the documents?

I'm just, I'm just trying to catch up.

Not yet.

But that's what ReadEmAndWeep31 is gonna tell us.

Get her to talk about her feelings.

Can you make that custard first?

Sweetheart, broken record here,

but are you sure you're feeling okay?

You and Olympia were friends.

I thought Olympia was someone she isn't.

And she definitely thinks I'm someone I'm not.

Things were getting muddy, that's all.

Glad to have clarity.

So now it's time to finish this.

Oh, Matty. The judge ruled in our favor.

Whew, it was a hard-fought battle, but he said

the Slamm'd class action can

continue without a named plaintiff.

So Tucker taking the settlement didn't end our case.

Wow. That's terrific news.

Let me drop my bag.

Go, team.

Okay.

There's only one thing that matters,

and that's winning, at all costs.

Right, so,

I've gone through our whole class.

I have suggestions on who we certify next.

We can't certify anybody. That'll take months.

The firm has spent too much money on this trial already.

Exactly. We stay the course and finish

without a named plaintiff.

We focus on predatory marketing, dangerous product.

The jury will see an empty seat.

They'll wonder where Tucker is.

I know, and I have an answer.

Violet Reed.

She died at her sorority after drinking Slamm'd.

It's perfect.

Senior wants to talk to me.

What? Yeah.

Sorry, I'm confused.

We can't get Violet in as a plaintiff.

Well, no, not officially.

But her mom, Lydia, can talk about her.

And that way, she becomes

the de facto plaintiff in the jury's hearts.

I love it.

Exactly. We lean in to Tucker's absence.

"He's lucky he had the chance to settle.

Violet couldn't."

Let them try to beat up a grieving mom on the stand.

Matty,

will you see if Lydia will testify?

Tell her you'll do the questioning.

Of course. I'm the dead child whisperer.

I'm just kidding, folks.

Let me call Lydia. Thank you.

Billy, update me.

You're meeting with Connecticut PD?

First thing tomorrow morning.

They broke up the party three years ago,

same party that had the cans of Slamm'd

in the background. Perfect.

Look, we only need one piece of direct evidence

that proves Slamm'd financed those high school parties.

Uh-oh. What's that face mean?

Senior's pulling me from the case.

He said too many resources have been spent already.

I'm sorry.

Don't freak out.

Just promise me

you're not gonna freak out.

What's happening? Is it the Redditor?

Did Alfie hear something?

No, but, uh, he may be a little distracted by his crush.

His what?!

Don't scream.

I need every single detail.

Her name is Molly.

Molly.

She's the reason he's taking the after-school magic class.

No! Yes!

And are you ready?

I don't know. Am I?

No, you're not, but get ready.

Okay.

Alfie asked me if I would help him make

a cupcake to ask her to the dance,

"as a friend,"

and he also wants my thoughts on his wardrobe.

Did he actually say...

"Wardrobe," yes.

And when he said it, he...

Did he do that... The serious eyebrows.

He trusts you.

I'm so glad.

Ellie did, too.

She thought her Aunt Itsy Bitsy hung the moon.

Now, don't make me cry.

I've got on about a pound of makeup.

Olympia.

Let me get to my office.

Can you keep my sister occupied?

I have to call Olympia as Matty Matlock,

and the last thing I need is Bitsy overhearing.

She won't think me imitating her is funny, believe you me.

No problem.

I will just ask her a question about anything.

Oh, God, Olympia, leave me alone.

Damn! Answer, Matty.

You okay?

Got a big old vote of no confidence from your father.

Welcome to my childhood.

Now imagine you're nine and you asked him

if he liked your diorama.

Uh, I'll come back.

Ah-ah-ah.

All right.

Our divorce papers?

Oh. Yeah.

Trying to get in my head so I lose this class action

and you win the partner race?

Definitely not. I have things brewing.

I want a fair fight.

I thought we could sign them together.

Is that cheesy?

Yes.

Also sweet.

Let's do it. After I win this case.

Can't let emotion in yet.

So, what's brewing?

I found an apartment

that's right next door to an ice cream shop.

The twins are gonna love it.

Ooh, oh, wow.

I was talking about the partner race. Oh, I know.

I said I'd fight you, not help you.

Matty, finally.

Olympia's been texting all morning.

And all night.

I don't know how you keep smiling to her face.

I got mad at Cindy Shapiro once at a water aerobics class.

And I tried to ignore it during canasta,
