The Good Pod

The Kings clapped back! After a dud last week, The Good Wife delivers a packed episode full of government intrigue, ethical dilemmas, and a courtroom banger. Diane takes on a torture case that pits her against the U.S. government, Alicia gets trapped in a tense game of cat-and-mouse with a quirky Treasury monitor (hi Bob Balaban!), and Peter starts weaponizing the law against Will. Meanwhile, Diane finally clocks Will and Alicia’s not-so-secret romance, Dana pulls out her claws, and the episode’s MVP—Elsbeth Tascioni—returns in all her quirky brilliance. Also, is "Patula Gulb" a region or a character in Willy Wonka? We dig into it all.Timestamps00:45 – The Kings answer last week’s dud with a classic09:00 – Danny’s torture lawsuit and the case against the government13:45 – Will and Alicia get exposed by a ringtone23:30 – Diane’s passive-aggressive insurance play35:00 – Elsbeth Tascioni returns (!!!) and saves Alicia50:00 – Will vs. Peter: courthouse showdown1:03:00 – Peter’s revenge plan and Grace’s Jesus arcSEO KeywordsThe Good Wife Season 3 Episode 7, Executive Order 13224, Alicia and Will romance, Elsbeth Tascioni returns, Diane Lockhart cases, Peter vs. Will, Grace Florrick religion, Glen Childs returns, torture lawsuit storyline, Bob Balaban Good Wife

What is The Good Pod?

Rewatching The Good Wife? Start anywhere. We've recapped every episode in order since the pilot — 166 and counting.

Jason Reed and Marissa Garza work through the entire Robert and Michelle King universe: The Good Wife, Elsbeth, and The Good Fight. One episode at a time, in order, no skipping. The cases, the firm implosions, the Alicia and Diane of it all — plus the details you missed the first time and the ones you only catch on a rewatch.

Alicia Florrick, Diane Lockhart, Kalinda Sharma, Eli Gold, Will Gardner, Elsbeth Tascioni. If you have opinions about any of them, you're in the right place.

New episodes every Monday. Elsbeth recaps every week the show is airing.

Also from us: The Gilded Pod, covering HBO's The Gilded Age — separate feed, same hosts.
