Johnny Elfman gets our protagonist an interview with Pastor Jeremiah, obviously a very religious man and one with a lot of questions, giving her a rare opportunity.

One of the best scenes of The Good Wife Season 6 Episode 6 was Alicia turning to her daughter Grace for support and wonderful mother and daughter bonding.

Drawing strength from that exchange, the interview ends up turning out quite well for Alicia, who passes the God test, if you will, with a strong performance on camera.

Meanwhile, Diane evicts Lockhart Gardner & Canning from their office space. Alicia and Diane move into the space with the former sitting at Will's old desk.

The week's case involved economic espionage, not something that you would think would be compelling drama, but remember what show this is.

If you watch The Good Wife online, you know what they can do with seemingly dense and non-sexy material, and this week's episode hit the mark.

In a continuation of last week's storyline, Alicia teamed with Elsbeth to take on AUSA Josh Perotti, using Perotti's affection for Elsbeth to their advantage.

Perotti, off his game in the courtroom, ends up sleeping with Elsbeth on her desk, so who said this had to be entirely non-sexy? Oh wait, that was us.

Our bad there. In any case, Kalinda found and Elsbeth turned over a crucial invoice that got the case dismissed and sent Perotti back to Washington DC.

Meanwhile, a stressed out Cary takes the day off from work and ends up getting drunk and picks up a woman at a bar, a decision that has negative consequences.

The service officer assigned to him learns that he was in violation of his bail terms crossing state lines into Indiana, which lands him in front of a judge.

That violation was inadvertent, yes, but the officer recommends he wear an ankle monitor, be subject to curfew and most significantly, stay away from Kalinda.

As usual, it was a solid installment that evoked the past, both in terms of Will's passing and Alicia's comments about religion hurting her political aspirations.

All while building toward a terrific sixth season and possibly beyond. Well done as always by The Good Wife showrunners on a drama you can't miss.
