On Sunday, CBS’ The Good Wife closes its third season with a finale directed by co-creator Robert King. As fans can tell from the promo, it’s a tense hour for Kalinda (Archie Panjabi) and Alicia (Julianna Margulies) as Kalinda’s past catches up to her, and also for Diane (Christine Baranski) and Will (Josh Charles) as the “dream team” Louis Canning (Michael J. Fox) and Patti Nyholm (Martha Plimpton) unite to bankrupt Lockhart/Gardner. And yet, somehow, the episode could also be the most fun hour of season 3 thanks to the cunning Canning and Nyholm and the havoc they wreak. “I appreciated some of the comedy in it, the farcical quality of everybody bumping into each other,” Charles laughs, when asked how he felt first reading the script. He phoned us earlier this week at 1 a.m. from Paris, where he’s currently shooting the film Bird People with Lady Chatterley director Pascale Ferran, to dish on the finale and his hopes for season 4. (UPDATE: If you’ve seen the finale, read our postmortem with creators Robert and Michelle King.) READ FULL STORY »

On last night’s episode of The Good Wife, FBI agent Lana Delaney (Jill Flint) turned up the heat on Kalinda (Archie Panjabi) by talking to Lemond Bishop (Mike Colter) about the work Kalinda’s done for him, but it was Kalinda who turned up the heat on CBS Standards & Practices with the scene in which she confronted Lana about it. Watch the scene in question below.

If there was any doubt that casting Matthew Perry as a bad guy was a smart move by the producers of The Good Wife, it’s erased in the newly released promo teasing the season’s final three episodes. “How do you keep an ambitious man from running? Tell him you’ll go after his family, with everything you got,” Perry’s Mike Kresteva tells Peter (Chris Noth), whose bid for governor has Alicia’s blessing. We love it anytime Peter threatens someone, but it sounds like Alicia (Julianna Margulies) is the one who might lose if this battle comes to blows.

The reveals don’t stop there. SPOILER ALERT: Cary (Matt Czuchry) will return to Lockhart Gardner, and Jackie (Mary Beth Peil) ends up in the hospital. Let’s hope Alicia doesn’t put her there when she confronts her about buying the house.

Watch the promo below. The Good Wife returns April 15. In addition to Perry, the episode features guest star Parker Posey, who recurs as Eli’s ex, Vanessa Gold.
