Sundays episode ofThe Good Wife, Hitting the Fan, delivered on the promise established in its title.
Everything has officially hit the fan, and, boy, did things get messy.
And the news was as welcomed as you might imagine meaning, not at all.

But ending the last episode last year, we knew what the plan was for this year.
I know people wanted to come back [for the season] and see an episode like this.
And explode they did.
In fact, says EP Michelle King, this is the point where everything changes.
There are people who are willing to cut each others throats.
The two Carys seem to be almost a unit.
On Kalindas loyalties:Whose side is Kalinda on?
The difficulty for her is that shes guilty.
The only reason [Will] trusted her today is because she got him something.
So many of the characters on this show are pragmatic.
Ill trust you for another day.
That leaves a lot of doors open for us.
But Robert King dismisses those who say Kalindas choices are purely fueled by money.
It started that way, but she really cares for some people.
Shes not a sentimental person so shed never say that, he says.
It just kind of crushes your heart.
But it does start from What would the characters be thinking about at this moment?'
And that passion is a cornerstone of the couple, says Robert King, and important to show.
In other words, its not [Were] husband and wife; lets cuddle.
Its the passion of the moment.
And thats what helps those characters get over the fact that Peter betrayed Alicia.
You know not everybody can win and Alicia will lose and Will will lose, he says.
We also felt like we had fire off the course on the love triangle.
They know they should hate each other, but then her daughter called and needed a permission slip.
So the part of that is that theyre human beings who show other sides than hate.
With the secret out, however, is it safe to say that Will is over Alicia?
No, not necessarily, says Robert King.
Hes certainly passionate, adds Michelle King.
So where does she go from here?
I think shes going to have to walk it back a little bit.
It cant at least initially be the same, says Michelle King.
She made clear to her partners that she was willing to walk out the door.
Well, thats a big statement.
So even if you walk back in, were going to get to see how different things are.
I think thats fascinating going forward.
(Were friends with Vince Gilligan.
So it was like, Fk you!)
But in all, he says, viewers are viewers.
