What this episode is about
This one sounds messy in a good way. Matty and Olympia end up at odds over a document tied to Wellbrexa, which is exactly the kind of gray-area corporate headache this show loves digging into. While that internal conflict heats up, the team is dispatched to protect a witness — so you can expect the legal drama to spill into the field. Meanwhile, Matty and Edwin wrestle with whether they should step in to help Alfie’s father. Lots of plates spinning, lots of people making tough calls.
About the series (in case you’re new)
This Matlock is a modern reboot of the 80s classic, with Kathy Bates playing Madeline Matlock — a sharp, older attorney who knows exactly how to use her unassuming vibe and crafty strategy to win cases and pull back the curtain on corruption inside a high-powered law firm. It’s familiar DNA with a contemporary setup, and Bates is still the hook.
Where to actually watch it
It’s on CBS. If you get CBS (over the air, cable, or via a live TV streamer that includes it), you’re good. And if you’re already watching their lineup, you know the drill — CBS also runs Watson, NCIS: Origins, FBI: International, The Bold and the Beautiful, and Beyond the Gates.
One small heads-up
If you saw a blurb floating around that called this the 'debut episode' of Season 2 or pointed you to Episode 1 under the 'where to watch' section, that’s just a mix-up. We’re talking about Season 2, Episode 2 here — airing Sunday night at 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET on CBS.
