Alicia and Cary tried to keep the secret of their new firm for as long as possible, meaning a lot of private conversations.

Diane got married to Kurt McVeigh, proving that liberals and conservatives can make a go of it.

Thanks to a mouthy associate, the Florrick/Agos plans were revealed before they made their move, almost irreparably damaging the relationships between the two firms.

In the immediate aftermath of the exodus, it seemed every case would pit Florrick/Agos against Lockhart/Gardner.

Will and Alicia fought their feelings for each other and it was one of the deciding forces for Alicia to leave her parthership at Lockhart/Gardner.

Marilyn Garbanza awas introduced, given a position close to Peter despite her magnetic qualities. The reveal of her baby daddy, Peter, made for quite an odd moment on The Good Wife.

Will held all the cards when Peter was investigated for Voter fraud, thanks to a video Will had shared with Peter. Will wasn't playng nice.

Feeling the squeeze by the Feds, Marilyn spilled what she knew about Peter and the ballot box. She has since been off canvas.

Alicia gave the keynote address at a convention and she and Will wound up at the same restaurant, giving them their only chance at forgiveness. The bad blood was eased.

Will was fighting to free Jeffrey Grant. Up against a new DA, Finn Polmar, it was his last case. Grant shot Will as he tried to stop a shooting spree and Polmar held him during his last moments.

Alicia learns of Will's death and it changes her perspective on everything going forward.

While sharing their grief after Will's memorial, Diane suggests a merger with Alicia. While it later falls apart, Diane never stops thinking about it.

Alicia represents Finn when the States Attorney tries to plant responsibility for Will's death on him.

David Lee suggests bringing in Louis Canning as a partner to save the floundering Lockhart/Gardner. They subsequently plot against Diane to push her out as managing partner.

Cary and Alicia argue over the future of Florrick/Agos and Diane offers herself and $38 million in billables to join their endeavor and leave Lockhart/Gardner. A very weird year, indeed.
