Spoilers ahead for the winter premiere of Matlock Season 2, called "Collateral" and available streaming now with a Paramount+ subscription.
Matlock finally returned in the 2026 TV schedule to pay off on a big cliffhanger with regard to Julian finding out about all of Matty and Olympia's scheming together, with Jason Ritter sharing how there's no going back. But the episode also included more hints about how the drama will be explaining Billy's permanent exit, after the fall finale dropped a tragic detail about his personal life. Fans have known for months that David Del Rio was fired from Matlock; now, we might know how Matlock is going to explain it.
