'The Good Wife' Season 7 News, Spoilers: Alicia Wants A Divorce; Chris Noth Teases Possible Reconciliation

By Jackie Villegas, Christian Post Contributor Monday, March 28, 2016

With only a few more episodes left before CBS' popular legal/political drama series "The Good Wife" bids its viewers a final farewell, Alicia Florick (Julianna Margulies) finally said the words fans have been waiting for since the show's first season.

"I want a divorce," Alicia told her estranged husband Peter (Chris Noth) in Sunday's episode, titled "Unmanned."

The long-awaited moment came after Alicia found out that Peter and Jason (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), her current paramour, had had a brief confrontation when the former found the latter barely clothed in Alicia's apartment.

Alicia and Peter's marriage has been one of the most complicated marital unions on television during the course of the show's seven-year run. In the series' freshman season, their marriage received its first blow when Peter's sex scandal was publicised. Since then, the Floricks' union has been challenged by Peter's stint in prison, his affair with Kalinda (Archie Panjabi), and Alicia's relationship with Will (Josh Charles). Nevertheless, the pair have decided to remain legally married and have even reconciled several times over the years.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Noth spoke about the pair's confrontation and Alicia's declaration, saying, "It brings up very primal feelings, let's just put it that way."

"It appears that they come to the end of the line with their relationship in that fight," the actor said. "You feel like there's nowhere else for them to go but I think they've been there before. They always teeter on the edge."

"The road has been long and hard on them and I think there's an acceptance that they might have outgrown the marriage, but we'll see," he told THR.

In the next episode of "The Good Wife," Alicia and Lucca (Cush Jumbo) will travel to Toronto to assist an NSA agent being held by customs officials while Peter deals with the possibility of arrest.

"The Good Wife" airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on CBS.
