The Good Wife - Painkillers, S01E12

I feel like a change is coming for The Good Wife, like in Mary Poppins, when the wind turned, and suddenly everything was different, and yet still the same.

And I'm not worried that this change is going to be detrimental to my enjoyment of the show, but rather that is means we are now going to have events occurring that cannot be undone.

Since the series began, there has been an excellent balance between Alicia (Julianna Margulies)'s home life and her work life. And these lines have not yet begun to blur, despite the possibility that Will (Josh Charles) has feelings for Alicia. Quite impressively, the two worlds have not intersected any more than they would in reality.

The focus of her home life, however, is coming into view. While it started with the hazy idea that her home life was upset by her husband's affair and arrest, now that aspect of her personal life is taking over. Even the issues with Zach (Graham Phillips) and his girlfriend, Becca (Dreama Walker), revolves around Peter (Chris Noth). And a choice has to be made - will Peter be freed? If he is, how will that change things? If he is not, how will that change things?

Most importantly, who's side is Kalinda (Archie Panjabi) on? Will she help Peter, or is her intention to roll on him?
