The Good Wife: Season 5, Episode 22 - A Weird Year

The Good Wife Season 5 wraps up with its finale, "A Weird Year," and Jason and Marissa cover a lot of ground. The $6 million adoption lawsuit against Alicia resurfaces, forcing a chaotic teleconference between Florrick/Agos and Lockhart Gardner. Howard becomes the deciding vote in a firm power struggle, Finn's political campaign implodes over a family scandal, and Zach heads off to his summer job with an emotional (if awkward) goodbye. The real fireworks come when Diane, fed up with Louis Canning's scheming, makes a bold move that could reshape both firms heading into Season 6. Kalinda and Cary's relationship hits a rocky patch, Peter and Alicia's marriage keeps unraveling, and Eli ends the season with a question that changes everything. It's messy, dense, and sets up a wild new chapter.
