What do you do if your husband has an affair that takes him to jail? In Alicia Florrick’s case, you pick yourself up, take care of your two kids and do your best to support them. In this episode of The Good Wife, Alicia is forced to help her husband’s cause while attempting to solve the mystery of a tampered jury.
We open with Alicia in her husband’s lawyer’s office as he’s asking her questions. It turns out she didn’t learn about the affair until it was announced on television. This pleases the lawyer as he’s pushing the angle that the affair was hidden for Alicia’s sake, not to hide illegal bribes. He asks her to help him find evidence that her husband was not in cahoots with a man named Gerald Kozco. She finds a tape of Peter and the kids making a special day for her. It happens to be on one of the dates the lawyer mentioned. She hands him the tape, but tells him to stop sending gifts as he has been. She states she and her children will not be bought. As we close the show, Peter and his lawyer ask Alicia if she’ll testify on his behalf.
At her firm, Alicia is brought in to help on a controversial case. A medical company is on trial for marketing medicine that may cause paralysis as a migraine medication. Diane wants to win so she can have a class action suit against the company, making the firm lots of money. Alicia finds a snip of paper that shows the jury layout with an “x” over one of the jurors and a message saying “$35,000″. She suspects jury tampering and with Diane and Will’s permission, she and Kalinda go off to discover if it’s juror number two or 11 who’s being bribed. After accidentally eliminating juror two from the picture, the women focus on juror 11, a graduate student who recently deposited $20,000 in his bank account. Kalinda sees the juror take an envelope from a green SUV before deliberations and the women fear that the opposition has paid him off. When the verdict goes in their favor, Alicia discovers that the couple they were representing were the payees, not the opposition.
I was seriously hoping it was Cary who paid off the juror and I was a little disappointed when it wasn’t him. I really don’t like Cary (the character, not the actor), but I’m guessing I’m not supposed to. Next week seems to be Alicia facing opposition everywhere and I can’t wait to see!
