Kalinda To Be Killed Off Like Will In Season 6?

The latest episode of the CBS legal drama left Cary's (Matt Czuchry) case hanging, as he had to decide if he would testify against Lemond Bishop (Mike Colter) to get a shorter sentence. The shocking cliffhanger, shows Cary deciding to plead guilty in court as most of the evidence and witnesses turn against him. While it seems unlikely that Cary would be put away for a bunch of years to not appear on The Good Wife, it could be made a possibility by giving him a dramatic exit in the upcoming episode, which is set to air on January 4, and then show him deal with prison life in the rest of the episodes that are left in the season.

The next season might use a time jump and show Cary return, but this could jeopardise his career too. Meanwhile, the other sad exit this season will be that of Archie Panjabi, who plays Kalinda Sharma on the series.
