Things get even messier between Olympia and Julian on Matlock Season 1 Episode 12, “This is That Moment.”

As Julian and Olympia’s divorce becomes more acrimonious, their feelings about each other continue to spill over into their professional lives as they represent opposing sides in a custody case.

The pair have never been particularly good at leaving their personal lives at home. Tempers have flared in less than helpful ways, and the tension between them is often palpable when they are on the same side of a case. 

Being pitted against each other for a case and one that hits very close to home for them will only add fuel to the fire.

They will no doubt use the case as a proxy to go after each other. But will all that animosity cloud their judgment and make them lose sight of what is best for their clients?
