Alicia Runs for State's Attorney … and Is Forced to Resign But truly few could have predicted the role reversal to come at the end of season six when, after learning that voting machines had been tampered with in her favor, she was forced to step down days after winning.
After reports of voter fraud surface, Landau reveals to Alicia that he rigged the voting machines in order to preserve the Democratic supermajority in the Illinois state legislature. However, in order to maintain the façade of a fair election, Landau forces Alicia to resign.
Hitting the FanWhen Will find out that Alicia and Cary are leaving the firm, he fires them and sets out to destroy them before they can get their new firm off the ground.
It didn't seem like a stretch to think that's what Alicia was doing.” (And, yes, King confirms that Peter and Alicia are now officially divorced.)
Following last week's news that Season 6 will serve as the legal spinoff's swan song (read full story here), co-creator Michelle King tells TVLine that a cameo by Margulies' Alicia Florrick is not in the cards.
Back on The Good Wife, when Alicia was eventually welcomed back into the Lockhart, Agos and Lee fold, she brought with her…
Season 6. Alicia, Diane, Cary, Kalinda and others return to Lockhart & Gardner, now called Florrick, Agos & Lockhart. In Season 6, Alicia also starts running for State's Attorney and develops a friendship with prosecutor Finn Polmar. She is successfully elected but has to step down due to false accusations.
Once her plan is discovered, she is forced to surrender drug dealer Lemond Bishop to the state's attorney's office so that Diane Lockhart doesn't face any punishment. For her own safety, Kalinda leaves Chicago behind.
Even though she's now out of a job, Finn encouraged Alicia to take on a case of her own. Inspired by her success, she decided to start her own law firm, and Alicia asked Finn to be her partner.
Unlike her husband, Alicia is not getting slapped for sleeping with prostitutes. Rather, Diane slaps her because Alicia (during cross-examination at Peter's trial) undermined Diane's husband, making him look unreliable and not credible, in hopes of saving Peter from going to jail.
It's believed that the change of The Good Wife ending was also inspired by Alicia's true love, Will Gardner's death (portrayed by Josh Charles). While Charles expressed his desire to be killed off on the show and Noth wanted to stay, the creators decided to keep Noth's character until the end.
That epic slap was not the end of the story. Good Wife creators Robert and Michelle King intended to tack an extra scene onto last spring's polarizing series finale. The additional footage would've made it clear that Alicia (Julianna Margulies) ended up with Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Jason.

Though he was initially convicted for crimes relating to his sex scandal, the conviction was overturned, and he successfully sought election to his old job as State's Attorney. Continuing his political comeback, he won the democratic gubernatorial nomination and then the governorship itself.
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.
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 Episode 8 , Alicia testified at Peter’s appeal for a new trial, in which she said she will welcome Peter back home and asks for him to be returned. Her son snuck into the trial hoping to show the blackmail pictures to his father, who wasn’t present. As blackmailing continues with a video, Zach decides to try to record the person who delivers threats; his camera hidden in flower pot catches the silhouette of a man photoraphing their front door.
At the beginning of the show, Alicia had been married for fifteen years to Cook County State's Attorney Peter Florrick. Peter had been disgraced after a sex tape involving his liaison with a prostitute was leaked to the press.
They met primarily because they were both attorneys, but Alicia did not seem to have Peter's political ambitions. After her two children, Zach and Grace, were born, she left work to be a stay-at-home mother and a good politician's wife.
Having spent so many years as "the good wife", Alicia finds herself at the bottom of the career ladder, trying to juggle both home and professional life with the ongoing scandal surrounding her husband with whom she has two children, Zach and Grace.
Ignoring everything Amber had said, Alicia drove away, walked into Peter's office, and kissed him. In 10th episode, Alicia talks with Jackie about letting Grace to hang out with a firend whose father is also in prison. It turns out that Peter was the one who prosecuted Grace's friend's father and put him in jail.
6, Alicia visits Peter in prison for a conjugal visit upon the insistence of Kalinda, as this is the only way she can get information on the death row case she's working on. Alicia and Peter then sleep separately.
Alicia Cavanaugh graduated from law school at the top of her class at Georgetown University around 1994. While in law school, she met and became good friends with Will Gardner.
