‘The Good Wife’ season 4, episode 12 preview: Alicia and [spoiler] are … back?
“The Good Wife” would not be “The Good Wife” without finding a way to complicate Alicia Florrick’s love life, and once again on next Sunday night’s episode we will be seeing her get close yet again to a man that she just can’t seem to get away from: her not-so-good husband Peter.
So what’s the only thing more awkward than watching a very random hook-up between these two characters? Having Eli wander around outside and get a sense as to just what was going on behind closed doors. It is moments like these that make us pine for the days of Alicia and Will, who was just as intelligent and seemed at least a little bit more well-adjusted than Peter will ever be. Then again, maybe our harsh critique here is coming just from a place of exhaustion after having to deal with the whole Kalinda / Nick story for the entire first half of the season.
So do we assume that we have plenty more coming up on the financial state of Lockhart Gardner? Definitely, but since that does not really gran eyeballs, that is not what the producers decided to put into the promo below. Instead, we have a few funny lines about French, a lack of knowledge about the language, a reference to “Law & Order,” and some general light-hearted action. We still expect it to be a pretty strong episode, especially as the go regains some of its footing after starting to fall off the map critically for the first time during its entire run during the fall.
Does Peter and Alicia together make you cringe, or are you actually rooting for the two of them? We want to hear some of your thoughts below, and you can read some more scoop on Kalinda’s future over at the link here.

Peter and Alicia definitely have more chemistry. It is trapped, and watching bits and pieces of it start to come out has been fascinating. Maybe, it’s the fact that Alicia now has the power in the relationship that has made it fun for me to watch. I love the fact that he looked so vulnerable trying to ask how they were doing. This will be very fun to watch unfold.

Nothing would please me more than to see Alicia/Peter working to make their marriage work and their kids back with the family. Will has never been right for Alicia. Being a womanizer and taking advantage of those he can seduce make me dislike his character and very sad that Alicia was weak enought after a few drinks to sleep with him. Why doesn’t he have a wife of his own, he has had plenty of lady friends. It time the Good Wife become just that; The Good Wife!

Nope ! love the fact the the two are trying to get togetehr – doesnt make me cringe at all – makes me happy actually. Will and Alicia never did it for me personally but these two? Oh maaaan – they sizzle.

Will is in no way more adjusted than Peter. Both men have their flaws. In any case, I really think Will and Alicia are over. Their break-up seemed pretty final from Alicia’s POV. I think Will will always carry some sort of torch for her, but it being reciprocated again is highly unlikely. I have heard the writers compare Peter and Alicia to the Clinton’s, so if they were to follow that same sort of path, you’d better start getting used to the idea of Alicia and Peter together, if not romantically, then at the very least, as a political front.
(Also, they don’t make me cringe, although I think that has more to do with Chris Noth)
