In the season 7 premiere of The Good Wife, entitled "Bond," viewers are reintroduced to Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies) as she continues to navigate life after her husband Peter's (Chris Noth) corruption scandal and subsequent imprisonment. Alicia has taken on a new role as a bond court attorney, representing defendants who cannot afford a lawyer in expedited hearings.

As Alicia tries to adjust to her new job and all of its challenges, she is also dealing with personal obstacles. Her relationship with Finn Polmar (Matthew Goode) has ended and she is struggling to find a place to live since her apartment building has been converted into a luxury hotel. Additionally, her daughter Grace (Makenzie Vega) is dealing with a crisis of faith and has declared her intent to abandon her Catholic beliefs for the teachings of another religion.

Meanwhile, her former colleague and friend, Cary Agos (Matt Czuchry), is preparing to go to prison for his involvement in a drug deal. Alicia and the rest of the lawyers at Lockhart, Agos, and Lee are working tirelessly to ensure that Cary's legal affairs are in order before he is incarcerated.

The episode takes a dramatic turn when a group of bond court defendants, led by a charismatic man named "Lucca Quinn" (Cush Jumbo), begin to protest the harsh and unfair treatment they receive in court. Quinn and Alicia have a tense exchange during one of the expedited hearings, but despite their initial animosity, Alicia is impressed with Quinn's tenacity and fighting spirit.

As Alicia and Quinn work together on a new case, they begin to build a shaky alliance. Quinn sees potential in Alicia's legal skills and suggests she apply for a job at Quinn's firm. This puts Alicia in a predicament, as she continues to work at Lockhart, Agos, and Lee and is not sure whether she wants to jump ship to a new opportunity.

In addition to the legal drama, there are several personal storylines that are introduced or developed in this episode. Eli Gold (Alan Cumming) is working on a campaign for his ex-wife, Vanessa (Carrie Preston), who is running for office. Peter is desperate to get out of prison and has hatched a risky plan to make a deal with the prosecution in exchange for his early release.

The Good Wife season 7, episode 1 sets the stage for another gripping season full of surprises and intense courtroom battles. The strong performances from the talented cast, particularly Julianna Margulies and Cush Jumbo, make this premiere episode a must-watch for fans of the show. As Alicia navigates new challenges and forms new alliances, viewers are sure to be on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting what comes next.
