[edit] Plot synopsis
Matlock defends a TV cooking-show hostess (Cathryn Damon) who is charged with murder in the on-camera death of a guest chef, her ex-husband (NY Times food writer Craig Claiborne), whose success came in no small measure from appropriating her recipes and expertise during their 12-year marriage.

- Peter Leone - Victoria gave him a bad review which cost him a million dollars.
