What happened in Matlock Episode 13?

In the previous episode, titled Pregame, Matty was still haunted by Edwin’s accusation that she had played a role in Ellie’s overdose. She struggled with guilt, believing that her relentless pursuit of Jacobson Moore was her way of making amends.

When Edwin later apologized, he insisted that Ellie’s fate had been inevitable due to the opioid crisis and the company’s deception. Meanwhile, Jacobson Moore hosted a family day event. Matty was unsure about bringing Alfie, but he convinced her that his presence could be helpful. During the gathering, Alfie disappeared, causing a frantic search.

However, this was just a distraction so Matty could access Julian’s security records to find out if he had taken the missing case files. Alfie then told Matty about an item in his wallet that could reveal too much information, forcing her to sneak into Olympia’s office to retrieve it.

Olympia caught her but assumed Matty’s odd behavior was because of a CBD gummy she had shared with her. Meanwhile, Sarah struggled with her feelings for Kira, especially after discovering Billy’s fling with Simone.

On the other hand, Olympia worked on a case involving a sorority girl accused of causing her roommate’s death with a toxic energy drink. Though the girl was initially blamed, new evidence proved her innocence.
