The Good Wife Season 3 Spoiler

The Good Wife season 3 started 2012 right with quite an episode: Alicia Florrick almost sunk the entire Lockhart & Gardner ship ... but the year of Cary continued as he saved the day with one fell swoop. Plus, the Emmy-worthy Carrie Preston returned to make audiences every where giggle with delight.

There was no courtroom in "Alienation of Affection," a bold move for a legal drama. It wasn't missed. The past came back to bite the firm in the butt after a couple accuses Lockhart & Gardner of encouraging their divorce for the firm's own financial gain. All of this could be solved ... if only Alicia had filed the proper paperwork. After some shifty maneuvering -- and plenty of Alicia and Kalinda scenes -- the paperwork magically appeared.

That's not quite good enough for Burl Preston (F. Murray Abraham) who deposed Cary. However, in a twist, Cary backs up the shady story of the paperwork. When asked why he protected Alicia, he said it's because things change. Cary is growing up! It'd be acceptable to let out another "Aww!" now. I know you did when you saw the actual scene.

The beginning of the episode -- with Diane looking at art, followed by Alicia at school, Will at a wedding and David Lee in a fantastic costume -- set the bar very high for the episode. And it delivered. I definitely spit out my banana when David Lee walked in wearing that getup.
