The clip begins with Alicia informing her mother that she is thinking of running for State's Attorney. Cut to Eli (Alan Cumming) laying out the groundwork with Alicia's new campaign manager, who is played by Steven Pasquale. The duo is scouring through Alicia's closet for skeletons that might pose as a threat to her, making her a soft target by the opponent.

Alicia looks a bit bemused when Eli is seen handing over a file of things from her past that could get her in trouble during campaigning. "That's a lot of skeletons," she sighs. Her campaign manager also informs her that her brother, who is gay, and her son, Zach could also be problematic.

So after, all the speculation, it seems like Alicia is going to take on this challenge and finally enter the political arena. And this won't mean that fans will stop seeing in lawerly mode as a partner in Florrick/Agos. In September, TVLine revealed that Alicia wouldn't need to choose between running for State's Attorney and being a partner at Florrick/Agos as she can keep both jobs at once. Co-creator Robert King told the publication that she can keep both jobs as Illinois election rules allow for that. King stated that as season 6 pivots to politics, Alicia's work as a lawyer won't be "left in the rear-view mirror."

Episode 4 of The Good Wife will air on October 12 on CBS.
