Alicia's (Julianna Margulies) blossoming romance with Jason (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) may come to a premature end in the upcoming episode of the CBS series "The Good Wife."

In "Discovery," CarterMatt reports that Peter (Chris Noth) and his life mission to become the President of the United States will put a damper on his estranged wife's love life. Eli (Alan Cumming) and Ruth (Margo Martindale) certainly think so, as they are concerned how Alicia's new relationship would affect Peter's presidential bid. They have worked hard to project the candidate as a loving husband with a solid family. If the press gets wind of the fact that Alicia has a boyfriend, their campaign will go down the drain.

Meanwhile, Alicia and Lucca (Cush Jumbo) are still looking for more clients to keep their new firm afloat. This time, they will team up with Louis (Michael J. Fox) in a case involving racial profiling. A website is being accused of cultural discrimination and needs a good defense. Considering that they tried to steal Louis' clients way last episode, the women are certainly brave to cotton on to him again.

Louis even tried to offer Lucca a position at his firm, but she declined. She knew that the lawyer was only interested in Alicia. Elsewhere, Grace (Makenzie Vega) managed to book four new clients for her mother's company. The business was barely getting by and Alicia worried about its financial position. But Grace had the brains to scourge for new contacts and saved the day.

Also last episode, Diane (Christine Baranski) worked on a sensitive case. Her client wanted to sue the clinic where she had her abortion when a video showing a nurse discussing how to preserve fetuses surfaced. Diane got into an altercation with the judge after the latter told her she could not use the footage as evidence. He said they did not have permission to record in the first place. Diane was frustrated that they had to withdraw, as it would only cause more damage to the case.

"The Good Wife" airs Sundays at 9 p.m. EST on CBS.
