Recap / The Good Wife S 4 E 06 The Art Of War

Go To

Alicia is asked to represent an alleged rape victim in civil court. Kalinda show Eli a photograph of the two of them she received as apparent blackmail, but she can't tell if it's about him or her.

Tropes

  • Call-Back: The military judge from two earlier episodes comes to the firm to ask Alicia to represent her daughter, a Captain, in court.
  • Everyone Has Standards:
    • Mr. Waters's layer, Bucky, refuses to shake his client's hand after winning him the case, because despite proving that he sexually assaulted Captain Hellinger, he did so after his contract had expired, so he was immune from prosecution.
    • Peter refuses to work with the woman who used his wife's friendship with her to gain an advantage, because he doesn't trust hypocrites.
  • Loophole Abuse: The military court calls Seargent Compton back to the country to ask him a trivial question so that he can testify about the assault.
