Michelle Pfeiffer’s Stacy Clyburn isn’t holding back.
PEOPLE has an exclusive clip from The Madison‘s next and final batch of episodes before they arrive on Paramount+ on Saturday, March 21.
In the clip from the fifth episode, Pfeiffer’s Clyburn — a grieving wife who leaves New York City behind for Montana — is questioned by Will Arnett’s therapist character Phil Yorn over what he calls her “hostile” and “mistrusting” behavior.
“You don’t know me,” Arnett, 55, says. “And yet, here you are, in theory, willing to expose your most personal thoughts and intimate feelings. Trust me in my interpretation of those feelings and behaviors to guide your decision making in the future.”

After Pfeiffer’s Clyburn asks the New York-based therapist to explain “what decisions” he’s questioning, he clarifies that he’s “not questioning anything.” Then she has an emotional breakthrough of sorts.
“You are the one who said it, my husband died. The love of my life. The father of my children. My center, my soul is gone,” she says.
“If you by chance have happened upon any information that might assist me in mitigating the desire to claw my eyes out with a f—ing spoon to get rid of the pain, I sure would appreciate that.”
The Madison, which premiered its first three episodes on Saturday, March 14, follows the story of the Clyburn family, New York City transplants living in the Madison River valley of Montana. Created by Yellowstone‘s Taylor Sheridan, it stars Kurt Russell, Patrick J. Adams and Matthew Fox alongside Pfeiffer. Per a logline, the show is described as a “heartfelt study of grief.”
The actress previously revealed to Entertainment Tonight at the March 9 New York City premiere that she signed on for the show “without even having read anything” — a result of Sheridan, 55, deciding on casting before locking in a script.

“It was really just him explaining the scope of the character and kind of the outline of where it was going,” Pfeiffer said. “I said, ‘Well, I’d really love to read something.’ And he said, ‘No, I really like to cast it first and then I write.’ I said, ‘Well, I’d really like to read something and then I commit.'”
She added, “We went back and forth over a couple of weeks like that, and then I realized I wasn’t going to to win this argument and I was either going to have to commit or give it up.”
The Madison‘s final three episodes arrive Saturday, March 21, on Paramount+.
