The Good Wife: Season 4, Episode 4 - Don't Haze Me Bro

In this week’s episode of The Good Wife, Diane Lockhart and Alicia Florrick take on a dramatic hazing death lawsuit involving a university water‑polo team, while Eli Gold battles PR fires for Peter’s campaign. The case puts the cycle of campus rituals under the microscope, with a drowned freshman, a coach who “knew but didn’t stop it”, and rumors of a hate‑crime angle that upends everything. Meanwhile at Lockhart & Gardner the 27th‑floor meltdown looms large, as Cary gets a new space and Clarke pushes for change. And on the campaign trail, Jackie Florrick, recently released from the hospital, proves she’s still a weapon in Peter’s corner—only to encounter visual “bugs”, a flashing warning sign of something deeper.
