In the recently revealed synopsis for the upcoming episode, Parallel Construction, B*****s, of The Good Wife, it seems like Florrick/Agos will have a face-off with Lockhart/Gardner over an old client.

Lemond Bishop (Mike Colter), who is Chicago's top drug dealer, has appeared in previous seasons of The Good Wife, and was represented by Alicia for Lockhart/Gardner. In season 5, Bishop returned for the 100th episode of the show, titled The Decision Tree. While Bishop is a notorious individual, he is a big catch for a law firm.

According to the synopsis it seems like the two firms will be fighting it out to represent Bishop when he is arrested on a drug-related charge in the next episode.

Here's the official synopsis:

"Florrick/Agos and Lockhart/Gardner fight to keep Lemond Bishop as a client when he is arrested on a drug-related charge, which possibly resulted from a leak inside Alicia's firm. Meanwhile, the investigation into voter fraud in the gubernatorial election continues to move forward when Marilyn is approached by an agent in the Office of Public Integrity."

After The Decision Tree aired, Colter spoke to Entertainment Weekly about the future of his character and which firm he would pick on the show.

In the 100th episode, Bishop showed up at Florrick/Agos' holiday party. Now it seems like he has to decide which fim he supports.

"My character is there to finally bring out a point of tension that's been going with the Florrick/Agos law firm. They need money. They need clients," he said. "And they're trying to figure out if they can be successful and also be ethical at the same time. They've been batting [my name] back and forth. What do we do? Who can we bring on board? Should we deal with Lemond Bishop or should we not?"

The actor went on to clarify that while Bishop might be good business for Alicia's new firm, they might want to take time to consider their decision of taking him on as a client since he was not exactly good for the other company's image.

"I think for the most part, when they were dealing with me when they were with Lockhart/Gardner it was because they had to. It was a necessary evil because the partners decided it was good for the business," he said. "They kept going with it. Now they're trying to redefine themselves as a new law firm they're realizing do we need people like him? And if we do need people like him, how are we different from Lockhart/Gardner? What is this all for?"

When asked about which firm his character would go with, Bishop explained that the decision was not exactly his to make.

"It's not only which firm he's going to choose, but who's going to choose him," he said.

He did suggest that Bishop was a "smart individual" and he would make the decision that was best for him.

"Ultimately, he's not going to make [a decision] based on anything other than savvy business. That's the kind of guy he is," he added.

Parallel Construction, B*****s, will air on CBS on Sunday, March 9 at 9 p.m.
