Emmy-nominee Melanie Lynskey returns to\u00a0Matlock<\/em><\/a> in Season 2 Episode 14, airing this Thursday, April 16, on CBS<\/a>, and TV Insider has your exclusive first look at her scene with her husband, Jason Ritter<\/a>. It\u2019s a star-studded scene that features Lynskey and Ritter, Kathy Bates<\/a>, Skye P. Marshall<\/a>, and Beau Bridges<\/a>.<\/p>\n Lynskey plays Debra Palmer in\u00a0Matlock<\/em><\/a>, one of Senior\u2019s (Bridges) former lovers. Debra was with Senior years prior when he was in Australia and gave son Julian (Ritter) the order to bury the Wellbrexa study. Lynskey made her\u00a0Matlock<\/em> debut<\/a> in October and hasn\u2019t been back since, but her character has been mentioned as Matty, Olympia, and Julian continue their secret mission to take Senior down for the Wellbrexa scandal.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s the logline for Lynskey\u2019s next episode, titled \u201cDay One\u201d: \u201cAs the team continues tracing Senior\u2019s money trail, they arrange a delicate meeting with a key accomplice, one that could expose them all. Also, the team takes on a criminal justice student\u2019s personal case involving a hit and run.\u201d<\/p>\n In the clip above, Lynksey arrives at the Jacobson Moore law firm, much to the shock of Matty, Olympia, and Julian. While watching her closely in the lobby, Matty whispers to Olympia, \u201cI knew Edwin came on too strong,\u201d implying that Edwin (Sam Anderson<\/a>) and Debra will cross paths in the episode, and it will result in Debra\u2019s arrival at the office. Matty and Olympia send a warning to Julian, who sprints up to his dad\u2019s office to monitor what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n Senior introduces his ex to his son, and Debra delivers a flirty line.<\/p>\n \u201cMr. Handsome and Mr. Handsomer! I\u2019ll let you two guess which is which,\u201d she teases.<\/p>\n \u201cOK, we will,\u201d a trepidatious Julian replies. Senior is loving the attention from her.<\/p>\n Lynskey\u2019s episode is the penultimate episode of\u00a0Matlock<\/em> Season 2. The two-part finale airs back-to-back on Thursday, April 23. The\u00a0Yellowjackets<\/a><\/em> star\u2019s appearance also marks the second consecutive week that a\u00a0Matlock<\/em> spouse has appeared on the CBS drama. Marshall\u2019s husband, <\/a>Edwin Hodge<\/a>, had a big guest star role in Episode 13 on April 9.<\/p>\n Matlock<\/em>, Thursdays, 9\/8c, CBS<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
