From the people who brought you "Jackie Florrick Just Made Me Cry," I bring you "Why Am I Having Kalinda-And-Alicia Feelings About Two Corrupt Douchebags Who Are As Far From Being Kalinda Or Alicia As You Can Get?"
Peter: "Polls say I won, by 56 percent."
Eli: "Better than that, they always under-sample younger voters because nobody has landlines anymore."
Peter: "But you're still packing up your shit?"
Eli: "I'm still damaged goods, whatever went down with the DOJ. Mike Kresteva is guesting next week and you know his ass was probably behind this whole thing somehow."
Peter: "I will punch him in the motherfucking neck, I don't care. Eli, I want you back."
Eli: "Don't be sentimental, Peter. What we had was once in a lifetime, true. But we..."
Peter: "You want sentimental? How about this fake-out handshake that turns into a bearhug?"
Eli: "I feel so safe in your arms, Peter. But we can't."
Peter: "You're going to see yourself as tainted until such time as somebody rolls over for you and trusts you to the edge of disaster. And that's unacceptable that you would have to wait that long, or that I would, so I will be the one to do that. Come back to me. If I say I am willing to risk my career on you, you will turn inside-out and become clean again, and come back to me, so that's what I am saying."
Eli: "Annnnd just like that, I'm back."
Peter: "Unpack your crap and wipe your eyes, ya little shit."
Eli: "Me wipe my eyes? What about you, Crying McPusserstein?"
Peter: "Shut up. Just a cold."
Yeah. What he said. Shut up. Just a cold, nothing to see here.

At Lemond Bishop's jailbird request, Alicia must work with his latest "other counsel," Wallace Shawn's Charles Lester. Kalinda trains the firm's new investigator, adding insult to injury, and Cary acts out. Broadway favorite Audra McDonald joins Bebe Neuwirth in making sure we all understand the caliber of show we're dealing with, and hopefully Jordan isn't gone forever, but who knows.
