The Good Pod is back with Season 5, Episode 11 of The Good Wife, "Goliath and David" — and yes, the earworm is real. Florick Agos takes on a copyright case involving a band called Ruh-Roh, a catchy pop cover of a Rebel Kane rap song called Tricky Trick, and a children's TV show called Drama Camp that may have stolen more than just the melody. The catch? Will Gardner is on the other side with Burl, and he is extremely motivated. Alicia knows exactly what she's doing when she walks back into that courtroom in a very specific suit. Meanwhile, Damien is cooking votes at Lockhart Gardner, Kalinda goes undercover at an OBGYN, and Eli gets hit with a bombshell that makes Marilyn's baby drama look like small potatoes. One of the most fun episodes of the season — and one of the most revealing.
