The seventeenth episode of Matlock (2024) was titled I Was That, Too and was the seventeenth episode of the show’s first season. Olympia exposes the hurt Madeline’s schemes have caused while a pregnant woman seeks an urgent decoupling. In this podcast Gerry and Iain consider faith, of the heart.

















Olympia locks Madeline in a room and tries to work out what’s been going on, as Billy and Sarah’s suspicions grow.







Meanwhile, a heavily-pregnant client called Amy Buckley (Eliza Bennett) shows up looking for help to divorce her wealthy, coercive husband. The only snag is that her husband’s family are influential clients of the firm and taking this on could sink her chances in the partner race.







This episode was directed by Hanelle Culpepper. The writer was Sarah Gertrude Shapiro.
