'The Good Wife': Alicia goes head to head with Glen Childs
Twitter
Google
On "The Good Wife," Alicia faces off with Glen Childs over a malicious prosecution case, and Alicia's brother Owen comes to town and manages to stir up some trouble for Peter's campaign.Owen Cavanaugh
Alicia's brother is in town to lecture at DePaul and manages to get caught on a kid's streaming video bad-mouthing Peter, including that Peter is homophobic. Alan Cumming's reaction as he watches the video is nothing short of hilarious.
Turns out Owen was just causing a few problems for Peter to get back at him for hurting Alicia, but Peter sticks it to Owen about not being there for Alicia through their problems. Will Owen be back? We hope so, but we fear he is heading back to Oregon for awhile.
The Case of the Week
In a case of malicious prosecution, Kalinda gets to kick some butt proving that a man prosecuted for killing three people in a sniping incident is innocent and another man is actually the real sniper. The sexual tension is rising between her and new investigator Blake (and based on the previews, it's not going away anytime soon).
Thoughts & Tidbits
- We loved watching Alicia take Glen Childs to task during his deposition. We want that slimy jerk to just go away, but then what would the show do for a villain?
- Was the kid in Owen's class the same kid who got Grace on his cell phone? We aren't sure, but it looked like him, didn't it?
- We saw Kalinda looking at surveillance photos of Blake playing basketball with Will -- what do you suppose the Blake-Derrick-Will connection is going to turn out to be?

Amazing episode once again!!! This show always amazes me!!!
"The sexual tension is rising between her and new investigator Blake (and based on the previews, it's not going away anytime soon"
Kalinda has chemistry with a lot of people. She even had chemistry with that FBI chick who was played by a really limited actress. But she has zero chemistry with Blake. Why do they have to take this story in such a typical direction?
Great show, a musn’t miss for me. Lots of good acting, Archie is always powerful, but the fav is Alan *******. Amazing!!!!
I'm actually finding the interaction between Blake and Kalinda tiresome.
Did Child's attorney give anybody else the creeps? Man, she was smarmy in that deposition. Ugh.
I didn't really like this episode at all. How convenient that the real sniper decided to come out of hiding and do such a bad job that he'd get caught immediately.
Also, Alicia's brother was irritating. He had a good point about how Peter treated Alicia so badly, but then Peter expertly turned that around, making the brother feel guilty! The brother is basically kind of useless.
I'm glad it turned out that Peter was losing out on the "gay money" not because of the gay brother-in-law but because of his supposed stance on Isreal. That was a nice twist, and it kind of made sense. The daughter should have kept quiet at dinner, though. I hate when TV teens have political arguements with adults who hold their parents' futures in their hands. Mom and Dad need to tell her to SHUT UP!
This episode seemed off-balance, but
once again Julianna Margulies can make everything seem right.
Peter's mother remarking about the "nice Jewish lady" she met in the market and the remark directed toward Owen might be excused because she grew up in a different time. The parents should be glad that their kids are watching the news and can form opinions based on facts but they might had coached daughter not to be so strident.
I don't understand what the kids OR the mother in law were doing at a business dinner. I certainly never ate with the adults when my father had business dinners, and I wouldn't have my own kids, much less my mother in law at any business dinner I had.
