The Good Wife: Season 5, Episode 9 - Wack-a-Mole
Description
Florrick/Agos is barely keeping the lights on, and Alicia and Cary are scrambling for new clients while Will at LG is playing offense. Enter Damien Boyle, a new Irish litigator who immediately makes everyone's life more chaotic in the best and worst ways. Meanwhile, Alicia takes on a case involving a professor named Saeed whose colleague's book on spiritual jihad lands him under FBI surveillance and eventually gets him fired, setting up a defamation suit worth fighting for. The episode earns its title when every problem Florrick Agos solves seems to spawn two more, from furniture theft to surprise courtroom opponents. Robin gets a genuine hero moment with her Excel skills, Diane and Will have a nostalgic reckoning in enemy territory, Jackie's backstory gets unexpectedly humanizing, and Judge Kluger leaves the episode on the most surprising note of all.
