Two days after Will Gardner's funeral, Lockhart Gardner and Florrick Agos are both still reeling, and Alicia Florrick is officially out of patience. On this episode of The Good Pod, Jason and Marissa break down The Good Wife Season 5, Episode 17, A Material World, top to bottom. Diane and Alicia toast Will over drinks and start floating a merger. David Lee picks a fight with the wrong woman. Mr. Grant shows up uninvited with an impossible ask for the firm. And Peter Florrick chooses the worst possible moment to demand his wife back. By the time Alicia turns a custody case into a referendum on free will, grief, and meaning itself, the gloves are all the way off. New arrivals, sudden departures, and one very pointed Louis Canning cameo close out a packed hour.
