In this episode of The Good Wife, Alicia and Will navigate a coroner’s inquest into the death of State Supreme Court Justice Roger Ludwig — a fact‑finding hearing that blurs the line between courtroom drama and legal sleuthing. As the team pieces together evidence, including toxicology reports and suspicious call logs, they dig into whether Ludwig’s death was an accident, suicide, or something more sinister. Amid the tension, personal dynamics bubble up: Alicia and Will confront their awkward friendship‑turned‑something‑else, and firm politics play out as Carrie negotiates a tricky pharmaceutical client situation with her father. Plus, political drama brews when Peter Florrick’s primary win clashes with Zach and Nisa’s high‑school relationship drama. Good lawyers, good mystery, good chaos.
