The Good Wife Preview: "Cleaning House"
Used mostly as a background storyline last season, Peter's political campaign has been front and center through three episodes of season two on The Good Wife.
That was evident on this week's "Breaking Fast" and it will continue to be so next Tuesday night.
Look for Alicia to get involved in an ethical scandal on the October 19 installment, "Cleaning House," one that places her at risk of disbarment and also jeopardizes Peter's run for office. Meanwhile, a third candidate will emerge for state's attorney.
Who might that be? The following preview doesn't say, but it does give us an early look at the episode:

All of these fans just dying to see Will and Alicia get together, no matter what the consequences is really kind of short sighted.
Assuming that The Good Wife wants to maintain a least a shred of realism, how many of the very avid Team Will members have been involved in an office romance or have witnessed one that turned out well? How many of those were successful where they at least began with one or both parties being married? Now how many of those couples lived happily ever after when one person was the boss of the other? I think all circumstances combined would bring the the success rate down to about -0-.
Wouldn't it seem that the long-term story arc should be based on Peter finally re-earning Alicia's trust by becoming the "better man" he claims he want to be nad he and Alicia becoming this great power couple whose marriage survived a nearly death dealing blow?
As for Alicia not being upset at Peter enough, are you kidding? She has almost completely shut him out of her

I am dissapointed with Alicia and her support for Peter!! Where is the anger any normal wife would feel with his betrayal?
I am just waiting for more Will & Alicia time on the show, these two just have to get together the writers cannot let us down with that I think its what most viewers have been waiting for.

Sounds interesting, like most of the plots, but I have to ask...will the writers ever put Will and Alicia together? Was last season just a hype? Are we going to be tortured by seeing someone else steal Will's heart? I can't stand it!
