Matlock: What happened in the previous episode?

In Matlock episode 12, This is That Moment, Sarah wanted to fix things with Olympia and offered to babysit her kids. She also suggested a new strategy for their class-action cases, hoping to help Olympia become a partner.

Meanwhile, Edwin focused on finding the Wellbrexa marketing document, which proved the company knew opioids were addictive but still sold them aggressively. Matty suspected Shae had warned Senior, who then called Julian to cover it up.

On the other hand, Sarah kept trying to reconnect with Billy, but he did not want to be friends. Billy even ended up calling Sarah toxic over a misunderstanding but later apologized on realizing his mistake. Meanwhile, Matty was able to gain access to Julian’s keycard when she spilled coffee on him.

At the same time, Olympia worked on a custody case for Paloma, who was fighting her wealthy ex, Bruno. Julian represented Bruno and turned the case into a battle. After Paloma was caught at the airport with her son, Julian argued that full custody of their child should be given to Bruno.

The courtroom fight got so heated that the judge held both Olympia and Julian in contempt. In the end, they agreed on a fair custody arrangement. The incident reminded Matty of her own custody fight for Alfie. She remembered how she and Edwin got Alfie’s custody, unaware that their daughter had died.
