Episode 18, "Loser Edit"

As Alicia prepares to get out ahead of the ensuing scandal over her hacked emails, Peter gives her some political advice over a glass of wine. Alicia remarks on how oddly civil they're being—she likes it—but when Peter gets that look in his eye, she immediately shuts him down. He really can't help himself, can he?

Episode 10, "The Trial"

Finn and Alicia have a little chat, alluding to their flirtation but deciding it's improprietous to continue meeting in bars over drinks, opting instead for pancakes in well-lit diners. But when Alicia suggests accordion music would set the right mood, Finn makes a cheeky joke. Oh, Finn!

Episode 16, "Red Meat"

It's election day and Marissa is trying to help Alicia relax by getting her to play a video game, which makes for some pretty entertaining dialogue between all involved and some development in the Finn-Alicia plotline.

Episode 4, "Oppo Research"

When they first meet, both Alicia and Johnny are pretty skeptical of each other. He's not sure he wants to run her campaign, while she's not even sure she wants to run. But Johnny makes a positive impression, at least in one regard, when he's bluntly honest about how he operates. How refreshing.

Episode 9, "Sticky Content"

When it's suggested voters think Alicia is a D.I.N.O.—"Democrat In Name Only"—she's worried about how to change their perceptions.

Episode 16, "Red Meat"

Diane only learns R.D. is the kind client she'd like to bag after she spends an afternoon arguing with him about his conservative politics. But while she assumes she has blown any chance at signing him after showing her true colors, R.D. surprises her by suggesting their differences are exactly why he does want to work with her.

Episode 15, "Open Source"

Marissa really isn't one to keep her opinion to herself, so, naturally, she calls out Johnny when she realizes he's given Alicia some bad advice in order to placate Eli. While Johnny knows she's right, and eventually remedies the issue, he doesn't exactly thank Marissa for pointing out his disloyalty. 

Episode 15, "Open Source"

We didn't know it at the time, but Josh's sarcastic, off-hand remark about election fraud was some serious foreshadowing. Poor Alicia!

Episode 10, "The Trial"

When a joke between Alicia and her daughter gets mistaken for an actual threat against Grace's teachers, Jackie is there to state the obvious.

Episode 15, "Open Source"

A compliment and an insult in one—that's Marissa's M.O. She definitely cuts to Johnny's core when she suggests he's weak. After all, he has knowingly given Alicia some bad advice in order to protect himself from Eli's wrath. Marissa, on the other hand, has no problem defying her dad and making Peter look bad, which is why we like her so much!

Episode 15, "Open Source"

Audiences across the country were cheering at their TV screens when Johnny put his career on the line for Alicia, telling her to challenge Peter's record as State's Attorney in order to bolster her own position, in a move sure to anger Eli. It was a pretty bold move...And totally hot!

Episode 18, "Loser Edit"

When R.D. goes off on Diane for getting "personal" and pulling his gay nephew into a debate on same-sex marriage (to which R.D. is opposed), she challenges his belief that the law shouldn't take real people into consideration. 

Episode 12, "The Debate"

You might have missed this line, which is another classic Marissa moment, because it was made off-handedly in the background of a scene. But that's the beauty of The Good Wife—the writers pay incredibly close attention to detail. And we love them for it!

Episode 18, "Loser Edit"

With Alicia's hacked emails having been handed over to the media, it's only a matter of time until they come out. Eli wants to spin them, for Alicia's sake and for Peter's, to look like she and Will had an inappropriate flirtation that never went beyond just talking. Of course, we all know that couldn't be further from the truth, but we're with Eli on this one.

Person 2: "It's my best feature. I've got the testicles of a 20-year-old."
Person 1: "Where? In your briefcase?"

Episode 13, "Dark Money"

Let's be real here—this Guy is kind of a perv. But Alicia knows exactly how to handle herself. That's our girl!

Episode 18, "Loser Edit"

After Eli suggests a two-pronged attack on the reporters trying to expose Alicia's affair with Will, Marissa chimes in with her daily dose of comedic relief. You really can't help but love her. 

Episode 9, "Sticky Content"

Alicia is furious when she finds out Peter has been sleeping with yet another woman he works with, especially because the woman is a mutual friend they've known for years. While their marriage is nothing but a pretense at this point, and Alicia has had indiscretions of her own, she's upset, not because Peter cheated, but because he was dumb enough to get caught, thus putting her campaign in jeopardy. We're with you, sister! 

Episode 19, "Winning Ugly"

Finn has been inside the machine. He knows the State's Attorney will stop at nothing to put Lemond Bishop behind bars, even if it means taking Diane down for something that wasn't her fault. 

Episode 4, "Oppo Research"

Alicia is not in a good mood after finding out, many months after the fact, that her son's girlfriend had an abortion. Finding out during a sit-down with Eli, Josh, and Johnny, who are only considering the political repercussions, just makes it worse. When they add fuel to the fire and bring up Finn, suggesting the two appear to be having an affair, Alicia is over it!
 

Episode 14, "Mind's Eye" 

Doing what she does best, Marissa lightens the mood while pointing out Johnny's shortcomings. In this instance, his lack of tact in telling Alicia that the interview she's about to give will make or break her campaign. But, you know, no pressure.

Episode 17, "Undisclosed Recipients"

Guy can't believe Alicia's audacity when she ignores his suggestion for whom she should appoint to be her right-hand man—we know she's already secretly reserved the job for Finn—especially after he spent so much money on her campaign! Apparently this Guy thinks he can just buy politicians. Why are we not surprised?

 

Episode 16, "Red Meat"

When Diane agreed to go on a hunting trip with her hubby, she had a feeling the atmosphere would be a bit more conservative than she's used to, but what she wasn't expecting was to be surrounded by the Who's Who of the right wing. It turns out Kurt's hunting buddies have comically deep pockets and more political influence than most of Congress. 

 

Episode 7, "Message Discipline"

Even though he was up against our girl this season, we couldn't help but like Frank for sticking to his principles and trying to run a clean campaign. He also went a lot easier on Alicia than others would have gone.

Person 2: "We’re saving money."
Person 1: "I thought Chicago was corrupt. Can’t you just steal more?"

Episode 1, "The Line"

Have we mentioned we love Marissa? I guess we just can't say it enough. She has some of the best comedic lines on the show. Sadly, her dad doesn't appreciate her sense of humor like we do.
