Matlock Season 2 Episode 5 recap: Julian's suspicion and Matty's masterstroke

Julian started digging deeper into the Wellbreak leak, suspecting Matty's role in Mrs. Belvin's firing. His instincts were not wrong, but Matty and Olympia outsmarted him.

Olympia skillfully played both sides, pretending to share Julian's suspicion while feeding him misinformation. Together, she and Matty orchestrated a trap, a fake digital evidence meant to prove Matty's innocence. For a while, Julian believed, until tiny inconsistencies began to surface.

The deeper he probed, the more Matty's web closed around him. When he discovered that Mrs. Belvin's computer had been recently accessed, he used Olympia's code to review the CCTV footage. However, he was surprised to see that he was on the camera and not Matty.

It was no less than a psychological coup. Matty had erased her digital footprints and replaced them with his, forcing Julian to question his own perception. Episode 5 ends on a shaky note. Matty and Olympia's alliance remains intact for now, but it is still fragile, especially after Olympia's growing empathy for Julian.

"Harm Reduction" looks set to push every emotional boundary. Matty and Olympia's once unshakable bond will be tested as they take on a morally charged case involving a group of nuns. The title itself suggests ethical tension: how far can they bend the law before it breaks them?

Olympia and Sarah will also be pulled into new internal schemes within the firm, signalling that Senior's shadow still looms large. With each episode, Matlock continues to weave together personal and professional narratives.

Then there's also a lingering question about Julian. Though shaken by Matty's manipulation, his determination hasn't disappeared. Will he uncover the truth about the Wellbrexa scandal, or will Matty continue to outsmart him?

The teaser hints at trouble brewing at the firm as Senior asks Sarah for a favor, which leaves her stunned.
