Unanswered Whacks-Whack A Mole ***

Was the teacher guilty of the Milwaukee bombing? This was not determined in a very confusing episode.

Pete's mother proves to us that she is a force to be reckoned with when she is able to get her son to deny a judgeship with a woman who once slept with her late husband, the governor's father.

In this episode, as Lockhart-Gardner attempts to hire new attorneys, Will shows how difficult he is becoming. Obvious choices are vetoed by him, and he shocks everyone by considering a mob attorney for a position. The latter steals the furniture of Florrick-Agos. Come on.

Technicalities seems to be the name of the game here where Alicia proves she can stand her ground by arguing a case in court with Will as the opposing attorney.

Good, satisfying episode

This episode was good. Not as great as the ones we've been watching but at least we're not suffering a Kalinda's husband-like plot…yet.

It was great to see old faces around. I like that this show is keen to resurrect good actors. It was a pleasant surprise to see that Mary Stuart Masterson looks incredible and Jason O'Mara is good in this kind of roles but I'm a little bit concerned because (a) We have seen this shady kind of guy in "The Good wife" before and it wasn't that fun in the long run; and (b) I have nothing against O'Mara's performance but I already saw him playing Bill Croelick on "The Closer".

Having Mary Beth Peil as Jackie Florrick is always a delight. Almost all the time is just to play the mother we love to hate, but on this episode it was strangely good and entertaining plotting against a former rival and understanding her point of view. I'm glad she handled things personally instead of putting her son's career in risk (again).
