'The Good Wife' Season 5 Episode 21 Spoilers: Alicia Manages Publicity Nightmare, Eli Learns Truth About Alicia and Peter [Video]
On the latest episode of "The Good Wife," the firm dealt with an illicit website, and Alicia got back into the dating game.
In "The Deep Web," Alicia (Julianna Margulies) is in jury duty with a handsome guy name Daniel. After a bit of flirting, she's excused, and Cary (Matt Czuchry) tells her to take the day off.
As for the case of the week, Finn (Matthew Goode) the ASA and three police officers are at Lockhart/Gardner because Lyle Pollard's (Robert Klein) grandson, Robbie, has been accused of selling marijuana.
The larger issue is about a website called Silk Road, a website that's an illegal marketplace for selling pot, heroin and other illicit substances. Finn says $39k in Bitcoin money was transferred from the site to Robbie, who works for Silk Road. Finn is looking to get a plea out of Robbie in exchange for information about the site.
Finn gets hold of a witness who says they saw Robbie working on Silk Road. Robbie says he simply wrote fake reviews for the site.
The witness, Corsica, tells Kalinda (Archie Panjabi) that Robbie began Silk Road and that he has $100 million in Bitcoins. But Robbie says he told the witness that because he had a crush on her.
They are able to track down Jeremy, the alleged owner of the site, but he's dead, and the witness' pot label is found at the scene of the crime.
Corsica has photos in her cloud account of Jeremy's murder, but she says Robbie put them in her account.
Kalinda then finds an email in Corsica's account that has the same glitch as Robbie's email, indicating that he possibly did set her up.
Diane (Christine Baranski) then says she withdrew the firm from the case for a mysterious reason.
Diane then asks Kalinda if moves are being made against her by Daivd Lee because her assistants were making calls to people outside the firm.
David eventually tells Diane that he picked up the clients as a favor, which Diane is not happy about.
She tells Louis and David to stop trying to snag her clients. Louis says he's dying and is trying to "plan his estate." Diane doesn't believe him until Kalinda checks it out and finds out that he really is dying.
Meanwhile, Finn, who is now running for office, has a tough television interview, and Alicia meets with her mother (Stockard Channing).
Alicia is having a major crisis after Will's death and isn't sure if she wants to be a lawyer anymore. But right when she's about to open up to her mother, her mother's boyfriend shows up.
Later that day, Alicia tells her mother that she feels like she's spinning and can't stop and begins crying.
That night (after composing herself), she goes out to have a date with Daniel, the man she met at jury duty. She walks into a bar to meet him, which signals the end of her romantic relationship with her husband.
On the next episode "What Love Means," "Alicia manages the fallout when her corporate CEO client's insensitive statements to the press threaten the fate of a multi-billion dollar merger. Meanwhile, Diane and Louis Canning take opposite sides in a class-action suit involving a pharmaceutical company; and Eli learns the truth about Alicia and Peter's relationship."
