Matlock Season 2 Episode 6: A quick recap

Episode 6 "Harm Reduction" pushed the show's core relationships into deeper conflict while raising the stakes inside the firm. Matty and Olympia entered the episode on uneven ground after weeks of mistrust. However, the nun housing-rights case led by Eva Muñoz forced them back into sync. Eva's return wasn't just about the case; she brought news that the coup against Senior was ready to launch. Twenty-one partner votes. One risky plan. No room for missteps.

As they worked the partners one by one, Olympia wrestled with their own guilt. Olympia struggled with the lies they'd used on Julian; however, Matty was determined. She seamlessly manipulated the partners to vote against Senior.

In one of the episode's strongest moments, Matty was triggered during an interview with an addict. Olympia steadied her, a subtle reminder of why their partnership has always mattered. By the end, Matty secured the last vote through a priest who had ties with Olympia's past, restoring the count and reviving the coup.

Meanwhile, Sarah falls deeper into Senior's manipulations. After weeks of hesitation, she finally delivered the secret photos of Julian's datebook, even though she knew he hadn't crossed any lines. The choice now hangs over arc like an open wound, hinting at more fallout when the season returns.

Episode 6 leaves the viewers on a cliffhanger about Senior's fate and Sarah's guilt.

What to expect in Matlock Season 2 Episode 7?

CBS describes Episode 7 as a turning point for Olympia. Turns out the case of the week involves her mother's new husband, pulling her straight to the family conflict she's been avoiding for years.

Alongside the case, Matty and Olympia receive a shocking piece of information. The nature of the reveal remains a mystery, but it can be related to the Wellbrexa scandal or Senior's involvement. It could also influence the coup, expose Senior, or shift the Jacobson Moore yet again.

Olympia's family case may echo her own struggles with trust. Sarah's guilt will likely intensify, and Julian's recovery and confidence could put him in the crossfire. And Matty, determined as ever, will keep pushing towards a future where Senior no longer controls the board.
