This episode is the breaking point for Alicia Florrick. All the anger, sadness, and loneliness from her past and present life is burst out all together in one scene, where she was comforted by Lucca. That scene alone deserves an awards for Marguiles and the screen writer.
I love The Good Wife, and this episode sums up all the love I have for the series. Great acting, great storyline and great directing.

Warning: Spoilers
We really see some marvelous acting by Alicia in this episode when she spills out her frustrations on her current and past experiences.
Taking on Christopher MacDonald, the overbearing judge in bond's court, is the highlight and when MacDonald wins, he retaliates against Alicia threatening to therefore bankrupt her.
Alan Cumming is appealing as he finally gets Alicia to forgive him regarding the deletion of Will's final note to her.
The secondary story is just as good as we see Diane getting involved in a college controversy regarding the divesting of funds for Israel and pro-Palestinian student action on campus.

Running out of steam

It's clear why this became the final season. The Alicia storyline in which she's still upset about the death of Will 6 years on has been milked and milked. Her character is now a poor shadow of the woman she was in previous seasons.
