In this episode of The Good Pod, Marissa and Jason break down “Battle of the Proxies” — the wild dual‑trial storyline from Season 4 Episode 10 of The Good Wife. A murder case plays out in both Chicago and Manuka: two suspects, two courts, and one victim. As the prosecution fights in Manuka and the defense counters in Chicago, cracks begin to show — rare clay‑loam soil, a mysterious shoe print, contested evidence, and tense courtroom drama. Meanwhile, tension heats up between Alicia and Kalinda over Nick and a looming threat, and Eli gets dragged into a DOJ investigation that could shake up a political campaign. Throw in growing teen angst (hello, unexpected web searches), and you’ve got one packed hour of Good Wife chaos.
