  • Title: Matlock – The Johnson Case
  • IMDb: link

A law friend of Olympia (Skye P. Marshall) brings a difficult case to the firm involving a juror who felt pressured to convict a man (Del Zamora) two decades ago despite the rather weak evidence against  him. Having to get create to have a judge look into the case, they use the harassment the juror received to crack the door just small enough to find a way to prove their client innocent such as uncovering a witness overhearing the victim arguing with her grandson before she died (which the cops and prosecution conveniently didn’t investigate). Although he isn’t the killer, there’s enough for Olympia to get a reluctant Andrew Park (Andrew Ghai) involved and find the real killer.

With the future of the show still up in the air, the Second Season of The Irrational concludes with Alec (Jesse L. Martin) and Rose (Karen David) helping smooth over a prisoner transfer that involves a friend of Alec imprisoned in Russia, along with two other Americans, for a valuable Russian asset (Eugene Lipinski) currently imprisoned in the United States. There are several aspects about the case including introducing Fritzy-Klevans Destine as Rose’s old partner and husband who attempts to tempt her back into the spy life (teasing a possible reason for the recurring character to leave the show).

NCIS: Origins – To Have and to Hold

  • Title: NCIS: Origins – To Have and to Hold
  • wiki: link

“To Have and to Hold” focuses as much on the underappreciated Mary Jo (Tyla Abercrumbie) as the case of the week which involves the death of a woman recently released from prison for stealing millions of her clients money. The tie-in with NIS is the woman’s husband who believed the woman  had changed, although facts uncovered over the course of the investigation suggest otherwise. Notably, it’s another episode of the series where Gibbs (Austin Stowell) is pushed mainly to the sideline while other characters are highlighted.
