'Matlock' Season 1 Finale Reveal: [SPOILER] Buried the WellBrexa File, Fate for Season 2 Confirmed

The Matlock season one finale has aired on CBS and we finally know the identity of the person who buried the WellBrexa file.

In the first episode of the Matlock reboot, Kathy Bates‘ character, Madeline “Matty” Matlock, was introduced as a woman who needed a job at a law firm, Jacobson Moore, in order to care for her late daughter’s son. Viewers believed this to be true – up until there were about 10 minutes left in the episode.

Audiences learned that Kathy‘s character is actually a rich, retired lawyer named Madeline Kingston who is going undercover at Jacobson Moore in hopes of discovering who was responsible for hiding papers that could have covered up evidence in the opioid crisis. Madeline’s daughter Ellie died of opioid use and she wants to take down the firm for defending the pharmaceutical company responsible for her daughter’s death.

While no one else at the law firm knew Matty’s secret throughout the season, her boss Olympia (Skye P. Marshall) finally discovered the truth in a recent episode. They worked together in the end to find out who hid those documents that would have kept opioids from being sold, leading to the death of Matty’s daughter.

So, who was it?

Is Jason Ritter Returning for 'Matlock' Season 2? Fans Think They Spotted a TikTok Clue, But He's Now Responding

Jason Ritter is having lots of fun on TikTok lately for his fun dances to Matlock‘s main jingle.

If you don’t know, on the CBS TV hit, he portrays one of the lawyers at Jacobson Moore, the fictional law firm central to the story of Madeline “Matty” Matlock (Kathy Bates) and her quest to get justice for her daughter’s death.

However, Jason‘s TikTok dances are causing fans of the series to talk. You’ll notice in his TikToks, he is sporting quite a prominent mustache on his face.

In the show, his character is clean shaven. This has led some to theorize that Jason is the culprit Matty is looking for (who allegedly hid important papers that could have helped the opioid crisis, which took her daughter’s life.) Many are guessing that because Jason is growing facial hair, it means that he won’t be involved in season two because he’ll be brought to justice in season one.

'Matlock' Season 1 Finale: Who Hid the Documents? Photos & Cast Tease Revealed!

Matlock‘s two-part season finale is airing on Thursday (April 17), and CBS has dropped a sneak peek in the form of new images!

After Matty’s bombshell reveal to Olympia (Skye P. Marshall) in last week’s episode, it looks all but certain we will find out who hid those documents that would have kept opioids from being sold, leading to the death of Matty’s daughter.

Here’s the official synopsis for the episode: “When Sarah’s client is arrested after his business partner is found murdered, Billy attempts to help her handle the case while Matty and Olympia contend with a pressing confidential matter.”

About who the culprit is, Skye told TV Insider, “When we read the script, everybody gasped at the table read and it was 50% of ‘I knew it’ and 50% of ‘You got to be kidding me. I’m totally blindsided.’”

Series creator Jennie Snyder Urman teased, “Now that Olympia and Matty are working together, they are able to access answers that Matty was not able to get alone and drive towards figuring out who did what.”

We do know the main suspects right now: Olympia’s ex Julian (Jason Ritter) and his dad Senior (Beau Bridges). Who did it!? Tune in on Thursday to find out!

And you can see what Jason said about being a main suspect here.
