What I’m Watching: The Good Wife

The Good Wife: Season 3, Episode 14 “Another Ham Sandwich” (B+)

Will’s indictment was something that was a long time coming, and in one sense, it’s over so quickly, and in another, it’s going to have a lasting impact. Wendy is one fierce prosecutor, and it’s clear that Cary has some moral issues with Wendy using the information he told her against Alicia, who is hardly his favorite person in the world. Will did a spectacular job of handling his testimony, and Dana is sure to be furious at Kalinda for a while going forward after she and Will played her. Alicia walking in and daring Wendy to arrest her was rather awesome, and the defense did a superb job of saying Peter’s name enough times to cast suspicion away from Will and onto him. Peter got to vent his share of anger, both at Alicia for sleeping with Will and at Wendy for calling Alicia in to testify. Everything to do with Eli in this hour was absolutely fantastic. Stacie Hall is a terrific nemesis for Eli, and there’s nothing better than adding chemistry and flirtation to a rivalry. It seemed like Eli had the upper hand for a while, thanks to Caitlin’s realization about the GLAC meeting, but Eli’s ex-wife, who I hope we’ll see again, is definitely his Achilles’ heel. Eli’s hatred for David Lee is quite possibly my favorite part of the show, and I’m glad to see that David didn’t take Eli’s abuse of his niece lying down, knocking books off his desk and then threatening to sabotage Peter’s campaign with his knowledge of Alicia’s divorce inclinations.
