OH MAN, THE GOOD WIFE.

But mainly, I DID NOT SEE THAT END TWIST COMING. THEY'RE AFTER PETER. HOLY CRAP. Only in Chicago, yeah? Well, not really, but. Damn. Just, damn.

I loved that we got this lead-in to that with Peter being totally ruthless, too - it's set up so that we want to appreciate what he's doing, because he is after all doing it for his children, but it is just so incredibly unsettling, and then to have that hammered home with the revelation of the corruption investigation was fantastic. It's great that we've been spending all this time thinking about Will's past and then he's suddenly being sort of the more moral one and we're getting this turn to Peter again.

I love that we ended on Alicia and Diane having a friendly/mentor-y drink. This was particularly awesome in that we'd seen Diane having drinks two eps ago with Eli, where she played the motherly/wise figure, and then last week with Will, where she was kind of one of the guys - and then getting this "old girls' club" moment felt particularly poignant, like a comment on all the roles you have to play in this business and how/whether you can ever step out of them.

Kalinda's face in her scene in Alicia's car was just incredible. I really kind of wanted to give her a hug. And, of course, Alicia going all hardcore on Cary to get Kalinda back was also amazing. I wouldn't usually use the term "submissive" about Kalinda Sharma, but there are some fascinating power dynamics going on there.
