Matlock Season 1 Finale Images Reveal Olympia Learning More About Madeline's Intricate Revenge Plan

Matlock season 1 finale images have revealed Olympia (Skye P. Marshall) learning more about Madeline's (Kathy Bates) intricate revenge plan while teasing Sarah's first day trying a case. While Madeline has been able to trick the cast of Matlockinto thinking she's working at the firm to help them with difficult cases, Olympia has discovered her true mission to get justice for her daughter's death. While the previous episode saw a schism form between the pair, it became evident that their friendship was very much real, even if the protagonist had been lying to her friend about who she was.

Now, Paramount has released new images from the two-part Matlock season 1 finale, teasing that Olympia wants to help Madeline in her investigation into Wellbrexa. The images show there's still tension between the pair, even though it seems they could be working together. The images also tease the team together on a murder case, while Sarah tries her first case for Jacobson Moore. Check out the images below:

What Matlock's New Images Mean For The Season 1 Finale

Major Events Are Finally Coming To A Head

As the images indicate, it seems like Madeline's investigation into Wellbrexa is going to make some headway, even though it's unclear how events are going to play out. For now, it seems like Julian (Jason Ritter), Billy (David Del Rio), and Sarah (Leah Lewis) are going to be left in the dark about what's going on. With the latter first year associate now preparing for her first trial, it's possible nobody else on the team becomes aware of the protagonist's investigation as the story of Matlockcontinues.

Matlock episode 17 is intense as expected, but one overlooked reveal in the outing effectively solves Madeline Kingston's biggest season 2 problem.

Depending on how much Olympia is really willing to help, there could end up being some startling revelations tied to Madeline's attempt at getting posthumous justice for her daughter. Whether this will resolve her investigation outright or lead into something bigger for Matlock season 2 remains to be seen. However, with the show only just starting to bring major characters from Jacobson Moore into the fold, this could be just the start of a much bigger case that will keep happening in the background.

Our Take On Matlock Season 1's Finale Images

Will There Be A Massive Revelation?

With Olympia now directly involved in Madeline's investigation, it seems like whatever new intel she could provide might help make a big break in her personal case. This could include a massive revelation about Jacobson Moore, and whether the main character's current line of thinking is correct. No matter how the case plays out, it seems this new team-up will have long-standing repercussions for Matlock as the show continues to evolve.

The two-part Matlock season 1 finale airs Thursday, April 17 at 9 p.m. ET on CBS.
