Madeline “Matty” Matlock is back in court this Thursday with “The Johnson Case.” Olympia, eager to make a good impression on the partnership board, tackles a particularly knotty murder case, hoping to prove her worth and secure her future at the firm. But this case isn’t a slam dunk. The details are complicated, and there’s more than meets the eye.

The legal maneuvering is as crucial as always. However, the episode’s focus also looks to be on Olympia’s drive and the lengths she’ll go to achieve her goals. Will her ambition pay off or will it backfire? Will there be a price to pay for her eagerness to impress the board?
