Mattys assignment is to coax some useful intel from the residents by relating to them, oldster to oldster.
(Gesturing toward a man with a walker, one lady says, His legs dont work so well.
But his tongue …?)
She pushed Olympia to take this case in the first place because Tranquil Pines was one of Julians clients.
She also finds herself manipulating Sarah in ways that could become a real problem.
Billys success, coupled with his useful suggestions to Olympia on the Tranquil Pines case, leaves Sarah seething.
She blames Matty for what has turned out to be several very bad days at the office.
And when Matty sincerely says, Im sorry, Sarah icily replies, You will be.
Why did it go down this way?
Because Mattys spy pen was taken from Julians office by someone innocently using it as an actual pen.
Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy.
Maybe there are good reasons why Mattys making so many unforced errors.
Perhaps her subconscious is rebelling, realizing shes been crossing too many moral and ethical lines.
With Tranquil Pines, Matty and Olympia win their case by proving that Lucille poisoned Walter.
Theres also this: Mattyisold.
Ill be long gone, girl, she says.
She wont have this opportunity at Jacobson-Moore or her faculties forever.
That makes it all the more heartbreaking when her decisions make matters worse.
Hot Doggin
Sarahs professional setbacks do suck for her, dont get me wrong.
But I have to say … some of it is her fault?
Is that the kind of lawyer you want leading a team?
As tense as this episode is, there are moments of levity, mainly involving Billys enormous belt buckle.
Seconds later, Matty walks into the office and says, Cute belt!
(Smart thinking from my buckle buddy!)
This makes Olympia more paranoid, so she suspects Julian is spying on her.
This is all going to getsougly.
