As a seasoned gamer who has navigated countless narrative twists and turns, I can confidently say that the dynamic between Matty and Olympia in “Matlock” is a rollercoaster ride I am eager to hop on! The initial apprehension about their relationship evolving, followed by the shocking revelation of Matty’s true identity, and now the uncertainty of what the future holds – it’s all reminiscent of an intricate puzzle game that keeps me guessing.
Supporters of the series “Matlock” might express concern over potential changes in Matty and Olympia’s relationship, as one of the actresses has shared her thoughts on the matter!
The Matlock series on CBS has proven to be their most successful new show during the 2024-25 season, and it’s no wonder why. Initially garnering attention due to Oscar winner Kathy Bates portraying Madeline “Matty” Matlock, an elderly attorney who joins the law firm of Jacobson Moore, the show quickly gained traction. Matty’s unique talents for remaining unnoticed prove beneficial in cases, even though her new boss, Olympia Lawrence (played by Skye P. Marshall), initially harbored some reservations. However, she soon comes to appreciate Matty’s abilities.
In contrast, the inaugural episode concludes with a shocking revelation: Matty has been uncovered as Madeline Kingston, a wealthy woman. Her child passed away due to an opioid overdose, and she suspects someone from Jacobson Moore may have concealed evidence that could have halted their criminal activities earlier. As a result, she’s undercover at the firm, investigating to unmask the truth, with Olympia being one of the potential culprits.
Matty works with Olympia closely in Matlock
Each episode has Matty working on cases while also gathering evidence against the firm, with her ultimate goal being assigned to big pharma cases. She’s gotten to know Olympia, who still works with Julian (Jason Ritter), her soon-to-be ex-husband and son of the firm’s founder (Beau Bridges). That makes Matty feel guilty about lying to Olympia, even as she wonders if the other woman was tied in with the coverup.
The last episode had Matty experiencing a panic attack as the pressure of her lies and double life was getting to her. She was even set to quit only for Olympia to tell her she was being transferred to big pharma cases, exactly what Matty wanted.
That’s a good push for Matty, but it has fans worried this means fewer scenes with Olympia.
Are we getting more Matty/Olympia scenes?
In other words, since Matty has switched departments at Jacobson Moore, it implies that she’s no longer under the supervision of Olympia, instead reporting to Julian now. This change could potentially lead to fewer interactions with her colleagues, Billy (David Del Rio) and Sarah (Leah Lewis).
As a dedicated fan myself, I’m thrilled to share that, during an exclusive chat with TVLine, the one and only Marshall reassured us that Olympia will continue her journey with Matty, not retreating but rather pressing forward in their collaborative efforts.
“No matter what Julian and I go through, we have processed all the different obstacles of working together, and we’re able to put those challenges, whether they’re personal or professional, to the side for the sake of the firm and the sake of the client. So you will still see Julian or Madeline needing my assistance, or me needing theirs. That connection won’t end just because Madeline shifts to big pharma.”
The relationship between these two women is intriguing, as it’s revealed they had crossed paths earlier, even before Matty became part of the firm, a fact that Olympia appears to have forgotten. As they grow closer, the mystery looms: what will happen when Olympia eventually learns about Matty’s deception regarding her identity and reasons for joining the firm? She might experience betrayal but could also comprehend Matty’s motives. If it turns out that Julian or his father were part of this cover-up, it could lead to significant upheaval.
It’s great news for fans, as the show has been rejuvenated for another season, ensuring the storyline of Matty concludes before the end of this season. Fans of Matlock can rest easy knowing the entertaining relationship between Matty and Olympia will continue to be a key element that keeps the series popular.
Matlock airs Thursdays at 9/8c on CBS.
