Matthew Broderick Acts Alongside Son James Wilkie Broderick in Elsbeth Sneak Peek (Exclusive)

It’s a family affair for Matthew Broderick and his son James Wilkie on Elsbeth!

The father-son duo are set to make their onscreen debut together on the Feb. 20 episode — titled “Foiled Again” —  of the hit CBS series, which will focus on the investigation into “the mysterious death of a college admissions officer,” according to an official synopsis.

“Elsbeth (Carrie Preston) finds herself fencing with Lawrence Grey (Matthew), an independent educational consultant who promises an Ivy League future to high-paying clients and their painfully average kids,” the description continues. “The case also causes Elsbeth and Teddy to question how well she prepared him for the real world.”

In PEOPLE’s exclusive sneak peek of the episode, Lawrence is getting the lowdown on a case as Carl (James) — a top “success trainer” at his company, Outmatch Educational Consulting — listens in and writes in a notebook.

When he arrives in his office, Elsbeth immediately questions how well Lawrence knew Ethan.

“He was one of my early success stories,” Lawrence explains. “He was just a scrawny little kid in his high school drama club, always puffing on his inhaler. I helped him find fencing which changed his life.”

When asked if he knew about Ethan’s asthma, he replies, “He talked about that with everyone.”

Elsbeth’s attention turns to all Lawrence’s employees. She says, “So all these young people are helping high school seniors.” 

“Oh, no, we usually start younger,” Lawrence says, to which Elsbeth responds, “That explains the sandbox.”

“Never too early,” Lawrence adds, which makes Elsbeth question how she raised her own son, Teddy. 

“Gosh, seeing all this makes me wonder if I did right by Teddy,” she says before revealing that he now works for a nonprofit.

“As long as he's happy,” Lawrence teases.

Matthew and son James previously opened up to PEOPLE about their experience working together on Elsbeth.

"I was so proud and happy to work with my son James," Broderick, 62, shared. "Working with everyone on Elsbeth was a pleasure and I’m excited for the episode to come out."

James, 22, added: "What a thrill it was to work side by side with my dad — who also happens to be my favorite actor! The whole experience of working on Elsbeth was beyond exciting and I am very grateful to the producers for giving me this opportunity!”
