First of all, love dies slowly or maybe not at all. It was obvious in this tension-packed episode in which Will almost got indicted that there are still tender feelings between him and Alicia and between Alicia and her husband Peter.
Aside from that, the plot line was almost that of a Shakespearean comedy in which nothing is what it seems to be. Kalinda was thought to have set up Will to get Alicia off the hook on a supposed felony. But what happened is that Kalinda set up the State Attorney's office with documents that put their case in the dumper. Will was not indicted.
We wonder who Wendy Scott Carpenter, who Peter appointed to conduct the Grand Jury hearing, is really working for. We don't know if it's for Peter or against him. When the Grand Jury doesn't indict and Peter finds out that his wife was made to testify about her sexual affair with Will, Peter turns on Carpenter. She then brings the case to the Illinois Bar Association.
In the coming attractions we hear someone looking very official telling Will that he can't meet with clients any more. Diane asks Will what he will do now. After all, for both of them, practicing law is everything. Neither has a life.
Anyone watching tonight's episode who is considering going to law school might come to rethink that choice. The game is portrayed as one totally filled with skilled manipulation, grudge matches, and the constant danger of losing one's license.
