On this episode of Mattalk, Jason and John dive into Matlock Season 6's “The Picture” — a case filled with family drama, suspicious art, and classic Matlock courtroom twists. When Ben Matlock’s high-strung cousin Diana (played by Christina Pickles) asks for help tracking down her estranged husband, things take a deadly turn as she becomes the prime suspect in a murder investigation.
As Matlock follows a trail of clues, an altered photograph and a shady art gallery become central to cracking the case. From unexpected suspects to dramatic courtroom showdowns, The Picture delivers everything fans love about this classic legal drama. Plus, Matlock’s patience is pushed to the limit by Diana’s eccentric antics — making for one of the most entertaining character dynamics in the series.
We break down all the major plot points, character moments, and why this episode is a standout from Season 6. You’ll also hear fun behind-the-scenes trivia, performance highlights, and our favorite quotes — all served with the usual laughs and love for Matlock you’ve come to expect from Mattalk.
