Season four of The Good Wife kicks off with high drama on every front. Alicia, Zach, and Grace find themselves in a tense roadside stop that escalates into legal trouble, while Kalinda’s mysterious past literally comes knocking. At Lockhart/Gardner, Diane and Will face bankruptcy and the arrival of trustee Clark Hayden (played by Nathan Lane), as David Lee considers jumping ship. Meanwhile, Peter’s campaign heats up with the return of Mike Kresteva and some classic Florrick power plays. From courtroom showdowns in Madison County to elevator fights (yes, really), this premiere sets the stage for an “odd year” ahead. Jason and Marissa break it all down with laughs, side tangents, and sharp insights.
