What time will Matlock season 2 episode 4 air?

The new episode of the hit CBS series will air at 9/8c on Thursday, Oct. 30. This is the regular time for the Kathy Bates series, and there are a few ways to be able to watch.

The best way is via CBS, and you can do that with your cable provider and even online, as CBS wants you to watch via its own platform. You can also get CBS on the likes of Fubo TV and YouTube TV, making it easier to watch the show while on the go.

Want to know a neat way to watch? Paramount+! Yes, this is where the show streams the following day, but there is also a great option to watch live via this streaming service. Again, CBS wants you to watch the show regardless of how you get your TV now.

As Olympia and the team take on a wrongful death case, Matty meets with a mysterious woman from Senior's past; Matty reflects on her relationship with her daughter.

What to expect in Matlock season 2 episode 4

Now to get into the details of the episode. Now that Matty and Olympia are on the same side again, it’s time to find a way to take down Senior. Matty used Mrs. B’s credentials to get documents about Wellbrexa, allowing the two to go through more information about the case at the time. However, it seems that there’s a problem.

Olympia will come to Matty’s house to discuss this, which is certainly the safest place right now. These conversations can’t happen at work or at the courthouse. You never know who is listening.

What’s the problem? Well, with Julian also in on the current situation, he could have found something that will help to bring his dad down. After all, if Senior is taken down, there’s a chance that Julian will get off a little lighter for his involvement in the situation. Plus, he gets a chance to show that he is different and that he wants to do the right thing.

At the same time, he wants his dad’s approval. What if he goes behind Olympia’s back and messes everything up? That is something I’d be worried about if I were Olympia, but then she does currently have the upper hand with the documents locked away.

This episode is also going to offer Matty a chance to reflect a little more about her relationship with her daughter, Ellie. There are a lot of things that Matty regrets about her life with Ellie, and that’s why she’s so determined to bring Jacobson & Moore down.

Matlock airs on Thursdays at 9/8c on CBS.
