Alicia (Julianna Margulies) is really going to be scraping at the bottom of the barrel when season 7 of The Good Wife starts out.

Cary Will Be 'Drawn' To Younger Associates In Season 7

The leading lady is going to land herself in Bond court to make a few measely bucks and get back into the legal world. After her debacle with the State's Attorney race and her partners Diane (Christine Baranski) and Cary (Matt Czuchry) betraying her, Alicia is going to have to start from scratch and it's not going to be pretty. In an interview with Yahoo! Margulies revealed that she was going to really struggle in Bond court.

"Alicia needs to make some money, and no law firm will hire her. So in the premiere, you see her go to bond court," Margulies said. The welcome isn't a warm one. "At first, [the other lawyers] are very hostile towards me. Everyone just assumes she's too snobby. ... The judge won't even entertain the fact that she's in the courtroom."

She also dished about Cush Jumbo's character, Lucca Quinn, who will play something of a "frenemy" to Alicia. Jumbo's character, is very comfortable in the Bond court world and knows her way around, in the few snippets from the preview, it is revealed that while she will help Alicia find her bearings in the gritty Bond world, she will also play competitive. Margulies revealed that she will be drawn to the "incredible ease" Quinn has about her.

"She has this incredible ease about her that I think Alicia wishes she had," Margulies said.

Jumbo also spoke about the dyanmic between the two, calling them "frenemies" at one point.

"She sticks out like a sore thumb, that's really what connects them because Alicia is a fish out of water in Bond court and Lucca is in her element in Bond court," she said. "She sees potential in what Alicia could do in Bond court so she kind of chooses to give her a bit of a helping hand because there is a lot about Alicia that Lucca can identify with."

Season 7 will premiere on Oct. 7 on CBS.
