The Good Wife Season 5 Episode 5 Recap: Will Has New Mission; 4 Major Decisions From Last Night's Episode

Last night’s episode of “The Good Wife” was the episode that put the season into overdrive going forward. There were many decisions made last night that could affect everyone in the future. Let’s recap some of them:

Peter secures Chum Hum:

This was the first of two questionable decisions the Governor-elect made last night. While addressing the press, he includes a little tid-bit about how he is open to discussing taxation on internet commerce, pretty much solidifying Chum-Hum would be heading to Florrick & Agos. There’s a good chance someone will question his ability to stay objective

Peter Boots Diane:

This is the second instance in which Peter failed to be objective. At the end of the episode he tells Eli to look for other options to receive the Supreme Court nomination. This leaves Eli with egg on his face since he just told Diane her situation with Alicia wouldn’t affect her nomination for the Supreme Court. Can Peter escape these two decisions unscathed?

Carey Flirts with Grace

The further we go into the season the more people realize how beautiful Alicia’s daughter is. The problem with that? Grace is only 16. Carey has already proven to be a questionable character. He got even more questionable when he was chatting up Grace while Florrick & Agos was at Alicia’s house. Hopefully, that’s the last time he talks to the youngest Florrick.

Will Decides to Go All Out

Near the end of last night’s episode Will pretty much outlined a new mission statement for Lockhart & Gardner—Conquer All. With this new determination and drive, is Will going to be more dangerous and rash?
