When was David Del Rio\u2019s final episode of\u00a0Matlock?<\/p>\n
Snyder Urman said that Del Rio\u2019s final Matlock was Season 2 Episode 7, which aired on December 4.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not going to discuss details, but what I can talk about is in terms of the show,\u201d Snyder Urman told\u00a0Deadline<\/a>. \u201cThe last episode you see him is in 7, and then you find out how Billy\u2019s story ends, which is in a very organic way that has to do with our whole office and how things are being shaped in this merger.\u201d<\/p>\n How did\u00a0Matlock write out David Del Rio\u2019s Billy? Michael Yarish\/CBS<\/p>\n There was a possible merger looming in Matlock Season 2. In Episode 7, Billy and Sarah discussed rumors of the merger. Early in Episode 8, Sarah called Billy and left him a voicemail saying she didn\u2019t want to pry or push, implying that he was suddenly absent from work, but it wasn\u2019t clear why. Near the end of the episode, Billy called Sarah back.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was so weird not knowing what was happening with you,\u201d she said on the phone.<\/p>\n Viewers only heard Sarah on the call, but it was revealed that Billy\u2019s pregnant partner, Claudia (Bella Ortiz<\/a>), had a miscarriage. It seems that Billy is going to take some time to be with his family, with potential updates on the character to come in later episodes.<\/p>\n Is Senior dead in\u00a0Matlock?<\/p>\n Elsewhere in the holiday episode, Sarah was hoping to talk to Billy about feeling guilty for spying on Julian (Jason Ritter<\/a>) at the order of Senior (Beau Bridges<\/a>). A couple of scenes later, Senior had a stroke and ended up in the hospital in a medically induced coma.<\/p>\n Before his stroke, Senior arranged a big holiday bonus for Sarah. Julian got information that helped Olympia (Skye P. Marshall<\/a>) and Matty\u2019s (Kathy Bates<\/a>) growing case against Senior, but they wondered how they\u2019d be able to get justice in the Wellbrexa investigation if Senior dies.<\/p>\n Earlier, they had accessed thousands of photos from Senior\u2019s trip to Australia with Debra Palmer (Melanie Lynskey)<\/a>, the trip that\u2019s key to their Wellbrexa investigation. Julian found a number saved as \u201cAustralia\u201d in his dad\u2019s phone. He felt guilty for searching while Senior was unconscious. Later on, Julian spoke to his unconscious father in a moving scene reflecting on their complicated relationship.<\/p>\n \u201cI want to move on from the resentments, so I\u2019m letting go of mine, because you\u2019re my dad,\u201d Julian said through tears.<\/p>\n Michael Yarish\/CBS<\/p>\n
