counting down our picks for the top ten
The Good Wife moments for this list
we're taking a look at the most shocking
romantic and memorable moments from this
acclaimed CBS drama series this should
go without saying but spoilers lie ahead
so I ask you again sir has your wife
forgiven you for your infidelity mom are
you coming number 10 Alicia slobs Peter
good morning an hour ago I resigned as
state's attorney of Cook County the show
is called The Good Wife for a reason
from the very first episode
Alicia Florrick loyally stands by her
husband Peter who resigns as state's
attorney following a sex scandal
press please respect privacy
it was time to heal with the love of God
give miss of my family I know I can
rebuild their trust on camera
Alisha appears calm and supportive
behind the scenes however she's furious
with her cheating husband you all right
alone in a hallway Alisha unleashes her
emotions by slapping Peter across the
face while no dialogue is spoken this
action epitomizes the complex nature of
their marriage
in the final episode Alisha finds
herself back where she started she's the
guilty party this time though having
betrayed friend and colleague Diane
Lockhart
Diane retaliates by slapping Alisha
sending The Good Wife down on uncertain
path
number nine Elisha resigns as state's
attorney did you wanna run for state's
attorney
what although initially reluctant to get
involved in politics
Elisha is encouraged to run for the same
office her husband once occupied after
years of climbing up the career ladder
it's a truly triumphant moment when
Elisha wins the election alas her reign
as Cook County State's Attorney is
short-lived
she soon finds herself at the center of
a voter fraud scandal and is forced to
resign she has made a mockery of these
proceedings she has committed the high
crime of stealing an election The Good
Wife and her husband essentially
switched places as Alicia speaks before
a swarm of journalists while Peter
stands by her side parking back to the
pilot this scene demonstrates just how
far these characters have come and how
nothing has really changed
good morning an hour ago I would drew my
name from contention for the Office of
State's Attorney number eight Alicia and
will kiss while you listen I know you
did everything
while she's obligated to play the role
of The Good Wife Alicia can't deny her
attraction to well Gardner the chemistry
between these two continues to blossom
throughout the first season amounting to
a passionate kiss
Alicia flees before things get steamy
but she never to believe gives in to
temptation and returns to wills office
having the worst timing Alicia just
misses him in order to preserve her
marriage and let out her pent-up sexual
feelings she turns to Peter Urich as
Alicia makes love to her husband it's
safe to assume that she's thinking about
someone else
juicy complicated and dramatic this was
a major turning point for one of
televisions best love triangles we have
bad timing
number seven Carrie gets released from
prison okay it's drug arrest that's all
I know but the last time I used drugs
was the mushrooms four years ago season
six opens on a high note as Cary agos is
arrested for drug trafficking Cary
appears prison bound upon pleading
guilty
although the ever-resourceful Kalinda
refuses to give up on him advice
yeah I'm friendly after hitting a dead
end Kalinda falsified evidence to clear
her on-again off-again lovers name how
hard would it be to make it look like
you read the email from Canada I know
that's illegal
right yes but I'm asking hypothetically
coming to her senses Cullen that decides
to abandon her plan the evidence
accidentally falls into Diane's lap
however as she presents it to the judge
that is you're Brady violation carries
case is dismissed
but his release comes at a price as
Kalinda's own freedom is now at risk
filled with mixed emotions the audience
isn't sure whether to be relieved for
Carrie or concerned for Kalinda all we
truly know is that this is first-rate
drama Thank You number six
Alicia learns Kalinda slept with Peter
it was a rumor your husband slept with
one of his co-workers two years ago
there was no one in the department with
that name Leela as Alicia attempts to
keep her family together she forms a
meaningful relationship with co-worker
Kalinda Alicia's world comes crumbling
down once again however upon learning
Kalinda slept with Peter while Alicia
didn't know Kalinda at the time of the
affair this bombshell still comes as a
massive blow please just take your case
Alicia I need you
you slept with my best friend was before
she was your best friend Oh God
being the good wife Alicia doesn't lose
her cool in public although she later
asks her husband for a separation in the
privacy of her home Alicia takes a brief
second to cry before pulling herself
together and going into work it's
equally devastating when Alicia
confronts Kalinda telling her former
friend that their relationship is now
strictly professional
glenda there are so many people who can
see us right now but I swear I will
scream at the top of my lungs if you
don't get out of my office now
Kalinda might seem unbreakable but even
she has her limits
good number five Kalinda and Alicia say
goodbye life has been playing tricks on
me lately and I think it's best not to
take it seriously
despite eventually reconciling Alicia
and Kalinda never fully mend their
friendship halfway through season 4
stars julianna margulies and Archie
Panjabi virtually stopped sharing scenes
together as panjabi prepared to exit the
show towards the end of season six
Kalinda was reunited with Alicia for one
last drink well sort of I thought you
were gone I was Chuck's luster is asking
about you I don't think it's safe here
it is for five minutes
margulies and panjabi reportedly weren't
in the same room when this scene was
shot rumors suggest that this was
because of a few between the two
actresses but that's never really been
confirmed while the reported use of cgi
led to some controversy the final
conversation between these characters is
still poignant and offers a bittersweet
farewell to a fan favorite now can we
please get a Kalinda Sharma spinoff my
time with you as your friend was the
best I ever had
and I'm sorry um
I'm really sorry that things got messed
up number four Eli deletes wills message
leaving a voicemail will decides to end
things with Alicia before they even get
started it's wrong my boss you're my
employee let's just drop this okay well
immediately changes his mind confessing
his true feelings for her via another
voicemail I'm not just dropping this you
want to know my plan my plan is I love
you okay
unfortunately Alicia's phone has fallen
into the possession of Peters campaign
manager Eli gold
looking out for Peter and himself eli
erases the second voicemail before
Alicia can hear it over the next few
years
Eli faces no consequences for his
actions sometime after wills death
though Eli's conscience gets the best of
him and he confesses the truth to Alicia
and I erased it I'll never let you hear
it I've been sick about it ever since
that's ensues one of the show's most
powerful and overdue moments as Alicia
takes out her rage on Eli and her fine
china
Alicia I'll be on the bus so I think
number three Alicia leaves
lockhart/gardner Alicia's leaving the
firm with Cary and she's taking our top
clients this game-changing moment had
been building up for several episodes
and it more than delivered deciding to
start a new law firm with Cary
Alicia prepares to leave
lockhart/gardner and take their top
clients with her given his intimate
history with Alicia this betrayal hits
will especially hard and you decided
this three weeks ago yes
Josh Charles gives one of his best
performances in this explosive scene
playing a man suddenly overcome with
confusion theory vengeance and heartache
will pulls no punches upon facing his
former lover swiping Alicia's desk clean
before firing her this not only marks
the end of Alicia's time at
lockhart/gardner but the end of her
friendship with will seemingly
demolishing any hope they might get back
together
I took you in no one wanted you number
two
Alicia sleeps with will I think that
what looked like an exceptional moment
as season two winds down Alicia is left
almost completely isolated having
separated from Peter and having lost
Kalinda as a friend she wants nothing
more than to seek at will for comfort
booking an expensive suite Alicia and
will get ready to take their
relationship to the next level the
presidential suite
but that's 7800 a night the two are
given multiple opportunities to turn
back as the elevator stops at several
floors on the way up
Alicia ultimately locks lips with her
boss though and this time she doesn't
walk away taking a break from being the
good wife she leads will into the hotel
room intense sexy and romantic the scene
sums up everything we love about will
Isha which sadly wasn't meant to be
you
before we get to our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
I'm sorry I do need to ask you a favor
as you know I'm being indicted but this
time I don't think it's a false alarm
I need you to stand beside me during
this
for your boyfriend
number one will get shot season five was
a rollercoaster of emotion that kept
topping itself during a seemingly
run-of-the-mill trial the show boiled to
its most shocking moment yet most of the
shooting occurs off screen but that
doesn't make the aftermath any less
jaw-dropping pushing through the crowd
Kalinda finds wil bleeding on the floor
our worst fears are confirmed at the
hospital as Kalinda and Diana stumble
upon wills motionless body this
unthinkable moment had viewers in denial
at first but they were soon forced to
accept the sad truth that will Gardner
was dead we can't help but feel for
Alicia as her world slowly crumbles when
she receives the devastating news do you
