Matty finally has her chance to work a pharmaceutical case on Matlock Season 1 Episode 7, “Belly of the Beast.”
Since arriving at Jacobson Moore, Matty has one goal. Get herself placed working pharmaceutical cases so she can get access to the records she needs to prove who buried documents to protect the firm’s big Pharma client and, in turn, helped keep the drugs that killed her daughter on the streets.
The promo and other preview material don’t give viewers much information about Matty’s first case with Julian. All we know is that it involves a lawsuit from a woman who experienced severe symptoms after participating in a clinical trial.
However, the case itself is secondary to what sort of revelations Matty will uncover with closer proximity to the files and people involved with their drug company clients.
Matty isn’t the only one uncovering secrets on “Belly of the Beast,” though. Olympia makes some discoveries of her own about Julian’s past. Will this new knowledge threaten their burgeoning reconciliation?
Elsewhere on the episode, the firm’s jury consultant, Shea, is back. Just as Matty is getting close to where she needs to be, Shea’s discerning eye only raise the stakes despite all the smiles and cheer of the office Holiday party.
