[Warning: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for Matlock Season 2 Episode 8, “Call It a Christmas Gift.”]
Hours before the Matlock midseason finale aired on CBS on December 11, creator Jennie Snyder Urman revealed that David Del Rio‘s final episode as Billy Martinez had already aired. Del Rio was fired from the series in October after CBS investigated a report of an alleged sexual assault. It reportedly involved his costar, Leah Lewis, who plays Sarah. Del Rio denies the allegations. Snyder Urman said that Billy’s absence would be explained in future episodes. How was it addressed in the midseason finale, Episode 8?
When was David Del Rio’s final episode of Matlock?
Snyder Urman said that Del Rio’s final Matlock was Season 2 Episode 7, which aired on December 4.
“I’m not going to discuss details, but what I can talk about is in terms of the show,” Snyder Urman told Deadline. “The last episode you see him is in 7, and then you find out how Billy’s 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.”
