"He's been blissfully unaware, but now he has to reckon with the consequences. It's been fun to suddenly place his character right in the middle of the mystery and squarely under investigation. That escalation culminates in one of the season's most surreal moments, when I walked onto set to find Julian literally mapped out on a conspiracy board."
"The obliviousness and the not knowing comes naturally to me. I describe myself as gullible, and I've spent nine episodes stewing in suspicion. The CBS legal drama has released the tension from one of its biggest secrets and forced Julian into action, placing him in a moral gray zone where he's capable of both empathy and wrongdoing."
In Season 2, Episode 9 of "Matlock," Julian Markston's character faces a major revelation when he discovers that his colleague Matlock is actually Madeline Kingston, a woman whose daughter died in the opioid epidemic that Julian and his father helped their clients conceal. Simultaneously, Julian learns his ex-wife Olympia has been collaborating with Madeline throughout the season to investigate the law firm's misconduct. Actor Jason Ritter describes Julian as initially oblivious but now forced to confront the consequences of his actions. The episode places Julian directly under investigation, culminating in a dramatic moment where he discovers himself mapped on a conspiracy board, escalating his involvement in the central mystery.
