The Good Wife' Season 4, Episode 3 Recap

• CBS
• "Don't mind me, I'm just trying to get some screentime"

I'm going to have to start with the title here: "Two Girls One Code." Seriously, "Good Wife"? For those unaware, the writers for "The Good Wife" keep themselves amused by making the episode titles the same number of words as the season (you can check the Episode List for proof). It's a game that seems to be getting infinitely more complicated since, though this title does match the action of the episode, they had to resort to a play off of the title of a nasty video from a few years back that, I am supposing, most of their audience doesn't have knowledge of. Consider yourself lucky.

As for the actual episode, "Two Girls One Code" felt a lot like last week's "And the Law Won," because we're still fighting the same battles: Kalinda versus her husband, can Peter be trusted, is Alicia really over Will, Diane versus Hayden (and the financial woes of Lockhart Gardner, which ever opposing attorney looks to exploit), but there's not a lot of movement. More characters are introduced (like the reporter Mandy Post) while seasoned favorites are neglected (mostly Cary, who is mostly seen as a blurry figure in the background of the frame so far this season).

So without much movement on the dramatic side, how did the Case of the Week turn out? Well, it felt a little repetitive, too. Haven't we met Mr. Gross and ChumHum many times before? Further, the idea of ChumHum as a stand-in for Google didn't feel particularly cute or clever this time. The stakes weren't particularly high, either, until the very end. For more on that and why Kalinda will not be making you an omelet ever again, hit the jump.
