In Season 7 episode 18 "Unmanned", after having enough with office politics, Cary quits Lockhart, Agos and Lee. We see him again in the season finale working as a guest lecturer at an unnamed college.
The additional footage would've made it clear that Alicia (Julianna Margulies) ended up with Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Jason. Instead, the episode concluded with Diane (Christine Baranski) smacking Alicia upside the head.
At the end of season two, after Peter won the election for State's Attorney, Alicia discovered he had slept with her friend and co-worker Kalinda Sharma before the scandal.
This episode felt minor, but its final beat revealed Kalinda betraying Will for a chance to save Alicia, just as Diane has re-stated her implicit trust in Will. And in that you have the arc, with assured heartbreak all around, that will carry us through to the end of the season.
Cary and Kalinda continue to have a flirtatious relationship and they frequently waver between comfortable camaraderie and a will-they-won't-they dynamic. However, in season 5 their relationship progresses as they have a sexual relationship. It ended after Cary's disagreement with Kalinda seeing other people.
Geneva Pine moves for a retrial, but Diane moves for an immediate dismissal. And Judge Cuesta agrees. He apologizes to Cary and dismisses the case. Cary is free to go!!
Czuchry, who played Cary Agos for all seven seasons, reprised his role as Logan Huntzberger in Gilmore Girls for the Netflix revival series, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life in 2016. He currently stars as Conrad Hawkins on Fox's The Resident.
The character was written off because Charles himself decided not to renew his contract after doing some soul-searching about his future. As sad as fans were to see Charles go, it didn't take away from the impact that his portrayal of Will Gardner had on the show.
“My time with you as your friend was the best I ever had and I'm sorry,” Kalinda told Alicia in a rare emotional moment for the normally stoic investigator.
In the end, he managed to get a plea deal: no jail time and one year's probation, but he has to step down as Governor. And that's not even the worst of it. Despite all those years together, all the scandals he weathered with his wife by his side, Alicia is done with Peter on The Good Wife .

The season 6 finale for "The Good Wife" will see Alicia Florrick stepping down from her position as State Attorney due to voter fraud. The whole sixth season focused on proving that Alicia did not steal votes and even when she was innocent, a lot has since happened that ruined her position. Now she will be resigning before the season is over.
In previous episodes, the Democratic Party requested her to step down despite her innocence in order to help save the Democratic majority in the state senate election where popularity votes are the most important.
Peter avoids jail time, but is forced to resign from the office of the Governor of Illinois in exchange for one year probation. He and his wife Alicia Florrick had agreed to get a divorce when the series ended.
He is the father of two children with his wife Alicia Florrick, Zach and Grace. His closest confidant is his political strategist, Eli Gold . He was the State's Attorney, however he was accused of hiring prostitutes with the State budget. His opposition, Glenn Childs leaked a sex tape of him and a prostitute named Amber Madison.
He is re-elected State's Attorney, defeating Wendy Scott Carr. Peter's successor and rival, Glenn Childs, is forced to drop out before the election.
Despite completing "the Full Grassley" by visiting all 99 of Iowa's counties, Peter lost the Iowa caucuses.
Eventually , the legal team realized that their only choice was to have Alicia testify at Peter's appeal. While working on the case of a six year death row inmate named Clarence Wilcox, Alicia realized that she needed to have a conjugal visit with Peter to get information, he slept on the floor.
Diane is the heavy hitter that other lawyers call when they're in trouble, even her co-founder and other name partner Will Gardner. She's also one of the most dynamic characters on the show. Her romance with Kurt McVeigh, a conservative Republican, gives The Good Wife room to explore the clash of political views and the nuance of trying to reach understandings between polar viewpoints.
Peter Florrick, portrayed by Chris North ( Law & Order, Sex and the City ), begins the series as Cook County State's Attorney. He resigns in disgrace, gets re-elected, rides the wave of public opinion all the way to the Illinois Governor's mansion, and then ends the series the same way he started by resigning in disgrace all over again. Not surprising from a man who can't keep it in his pants.
Matthew Goode ( Watchmen, Downton Abbey) plays this ex-Assistant State's Attorney who starts his own practice and ends up representing Alicia Florrick when she does the same. Though he's introduced on one of the most emotionally wrought episodes of the entire series, the 15th episode of the fifth season, Finn goes on to be a rather unremarkable character.
But that's what's unique about The Good Wife: it's not a legal drama that's all about the courtroom. Alicia excels outside the courtroom—in depositions and settlements and closed-door meetings—where her ability to empathize with people can really shine.
