After getting off to a shaky start The Good Wife‘s fifth season kicked into gear with a vengeance. Diane got the heave-ho for badmouthing Will and then the Florrick-Agos axis of exit was uncovered and a turbo powered oscillating propeller fan sent human faeces flying in every direction. In scenes reminiscent of the Mad Men season 3 finale “Shut the Door. Have a Seat” Alicia, Cary and the fourth years pinballed around from secret rendezvous to angry showdown, desperately trying to effect their no longer secret conspiracy. This is the first episode when anyone gets to take a breath but the fallout continues to rain down and everybody’s getting splattered.

This week sees the unlikely return of Diane to Lockhart/Gardner. The Supreme Court Justice nomination was merked so she’ll have time on her hands and she and Will can put their differences aside now they have a common enemy to slug it out with. Will pulls a neat move buying the tax firm Florrick-Agos are looking to move in with. Looks like another few weeks crammed into Alicia’s apartment staring at Jailbait Grace for the fourth years. I don’t hear anybody complaining.

Because Grace is now hot property having turned into an attractive young woman. She’s in that early Britney Spears dilemma of being a Christian while every man on the planet wants to put his cock in her. My recollection is shady but I’m pretty certain that worked out well for Britney so it’s high-fives all round for Grace.

The big question from a corporate point of view is: Who will get BumChum? The search engine leviathan is a bone of contention between the two firms and the golden goose that will lay big warm eggs containing cash right into the mouth of whoever snags her. I imagine Neil Gross will flick the both of them off and it must proper nause him having to deal with these idiots.

Whatever happens The Good Wife continues to be the best network drama on TV. The combination of tightly wrought legal jousting and compelling character conflicts has served it well. The prospect of Grace shaving her head and screaming at reporters only makes it more enticing. Bring it on.
The verdict: My wife now, Will.
