'The Good Wife' Season 5 Spoilers: Kalinda and Cary Get Back Together in Episode 13? [VIDEO]
As Kalinda and Cary were reunited in the latest episode of season 5 of The Good Wife, in a recent press event the creators of the show hinted that the two might actually become a couple again.
In the episode, We, the Juries, the two firms, Lockhart/Gardner and Florrick/Agos were forced to work together on a pending case from before Cary (Matt Czuchry) and Alicia (Juliana Margulies) left Lockhart/Gardner. Another highlight of the episode also brought Cary and Kalinda (Archie Punjabi) together. In the episode Cary still seemed to be bitter about the past and misled Kalinda about a Lockhart/Gardner client so that he could nab him for his and Alicia's new firm.
While the show is going on hiatus again and will not return with the next episode until Mar. 9, the creators, Robert and Michelle King spoke about what to expect from the rest of the season at an event as part of the Television Critics Association press tour on Jan. 15.
According to executive producer, Robert they will be focussing on Kalinda's character arc during the rest of the season and her story will finally start to "crystalize."
"Kalinda was a little bit adrift in the first half of the year," he said. "[But] she starts exploding in the second half of the year. Her story starts crystallizing in the back half of the year."
And it also seems like Kalinda might be rekindling her romance with Cary. Michelle suggested that the possibility of a relationship between the two will be put to the test.
"Can they pursue each other? Can they sleep with each other and make that exist?" she said.
She went on to suggest that Cary needs to build on the qualities that first drew Kalinda to him.
"What I liked about it is that Kalinda saw a Cary that had balls and was really attracted to that. So Cary's going to want to live up to that Kalinda idea of who he is. Cary as a character is sweet, too, but he needs to harden himself," Michelle said.
The next episode of The Good Wife will air on Mar. 9 at 8/7 p.m. Central Time on CBS.
