The Good Wife: Season 5, Episode 12 - We the Juries
We the Juries is one of those Good Wife episodes that makes you remember exactly why this show is so special. Season 5 is barreling toward something, and this episode makes that crystal clear. The setup sounds wild on paper: one courtroom, one case, two juries seated at the same time with Lockhart Gardner defending Howard and Florrick Agos defending Darla. Diane versus Alicia. Will versus Cary. All of it in the same room, all of it getting messier by the minute. Add in an Easter egg that will blow the minds of anyone following along on the Elsbeth side of the pod, Will Gardner fully running out of Fs to give, Marilyn's inconclusive ethics report, and a tense diner meeting between Eli and Jim Moody, and this one covers a lot of ground.
