On the latest episode of "The Good Wife," Alicia, Will, Diane and the rest head to New York City for an American Bar Association meeting.

In "A Few Words," Alicia (Julianna Margulies) gives a speech at the ABA meeting about opt-out moms returning to the workforce. Alicia knows her speech could determine her firm's ability to hire lawyer extraordinaire Rayna Hecht (Jill Hennessy) to sign up as a new partner.

She goes down memory lane while writing her speech, and realizes that her flirtatious energy is one of the things that helped her get her position at Lockhart Gardner. She has a flashback of the day she met Will (Josh Charles), and of later going to dinner with him. Their chemistry is palpable, but she eventually gets the job at his firm because of her legal skills, not just because of their romantic chemistry.

Yet, at the end of her speech, a pharma deal blows up, and hundreds of lawyers look for clientele to walk out.

Nelson Dubeck also shows up at the hotel to track down Will. Diane (Christine Baranski) sees their exchange, and gets the truth from her partner. Will then decides to hire Elsbeth Tascioni (Carrie Preston) to help his defense.

Elsbeth, in her usual comedic fashion, asks Dubeck to show her the video that he thinks proves Peter committed voter fraud, in which believes Will is complicit. Dubeck tells her that it doesn't matter what the facts are, and says he's determined to bring down another governor of Illinois. Elsbeth then takes out a hidden recorder, saying that one party's consent is enough for a recording to be admissible in New York.

Also, while in NYC, Will runs into Alicia at a diner across the street from their hotel. They forge a truce, and end their encounter with a handshake. Alicia says that they could have never make it work, but Will insinuates that he can separate her professional skills from his personal love for her.

Peter's fixer, Moody, later draws Will into a corridor at the hotel, but Will tells him not to approach him again. Dubeck catches it on the security camera, and tells Elsbeth and Will that they have 48 hours to give them the information he wants, otherwise it's 10 years in jail for Will for covering up election fraud.

In the end, a drunken Elsbeth reveals that he's the one who landed a partnership with Rayna.

On the next episode, "Dramatics, Your Honor," "Alicia enlists Cary as her lawyer when she is deposed as part of the voter-fraud investigation. Meanwhile, Will goes up against a new prosecutor who proves to be a formidable adversary in the Jeffrey Grant case."

Also, while Cary (Matt Czuchry) and Kalinda (Archie Panjabi) are now back together, it doesn't mean Jenna (Jordana Spiro) is out of the picture. "Kalinda is not one to worry about monogamy," executive producer Michelle King told TVLine.

And while the pair is back together, EP Robert King said it may be difficult for them to put aside their professional rivalry.

"In many ways, we've never explored the depths of that [dynamic], and now that they're on opposite sides in a battle, what does that do to this relationship?" he said. "What does that do to them? Can they keep it both sexual and fun without it creeping into their [professional lives]?"

Watch the promo for "Dramatics, Your Honor," below. The episode airs Sunday, March 23 at 9 p.m. EST on CBS.
