41 Things You Need To Remember From "The Good Wife" Season 5 Finale



via BuzzFeed

Because Eli’s surprising question for Alicia isn’t the only insane thing to happen in the last episode. Not everyone has as sharp a memory as the lawyers at Florrick, Agos & Associates.



CBS


1. Florrick, Agos & Associates and Lockhart/Gardner are being jointly sued for $6 million by a woman who lost a baby in a botched adoption case. The baby was half Chippewa Indian, and tribal law made the process tricky. Also, David Lee (Zach Grenier) might have bribed the council. (MIGHT HAVE.) Lockhart/Gardner was hired to facilitate the adoption but Alicia (Julianna Margulies) — who is no longer at Lockhart/Gardner — was the associate working on the day-to-day operations of the case, so there is a dispute over who should actually be liable.


2. It's also very hectic because all three parties are conferencing into the meeting over video chat and they're all talking over one another.


3. When the meeting ends, David turns off the camera at the Lockhart/Gardner offices but accidentally leaves the audio on.


4. Other Carey (Ben Rappaport) is watching the whole sneaky mission at Lockhart/Gardner unfold in the conference room via the running camera. That is, until Clarke (Nathan Lane) notices and tries to do the ethical thing and tell Lockhart/Gardner that they can hear everything they're saying. But Other Carey and Clarke get into a fight over it. Literally, like children, they try pulling the controller away from each other.


5. Alicia is throwing a graduation party for Zach (Graham Phillips), who is leaving for Georgetown University the next day! She tries to leave work to pick up the lasagna and cake for dinner but keeps getting stuck so she calls her mom, Veronica (Stockard Channing), to help...and ends up convincing Alicia that she should be allowed to cook the meal.


6. Meanwhile, at Lockhart/Gardner, David and Louis Canning (Michael J. Fox) have teamed up to push Diane (Christine Baranski) out of the firm. But Kalinda (Archie Panjabi) is working for Diane and trying to help her sway votes. Ironically, the only undecided partner is oldie-but-not-goodie Howard Lyman (Jerry Adler).


7. Eli (Alan Cumming) has found out that State's Attorney Castro (Michael Cerveris) has damning evidence against Finn (Matthew Goode) that he can and will use to destroy his campaign for state's attorney. So Eli tries to get Alicia to convince Finn to drop out of the race. It turns out that, many years ago, Finn bribed a prosecutor to drop drug charges against his sister. Technically, he cut a deal to lessen charges on a different case, but that's still a bribe. Finn really is a good guy — his sister was a drug addict and he and his family just desperately wanted to take care of her. But whether Alicia likes it or not, Peter (Chris Noth) is withdrawing his support for Finn.


8. And then Veronica calls Jackie (Mary Beth Peil) to help with the food and she decides to make a cake. Oh, Jackie.


9. Cary (Matt Czuchry), Alicia, Other Carey, and Clarke argue over whether to tell Lockhart/Gardner that their camera is still on. They pull up some legal rules on their phones because textbooks are a thing of the past.
