Showrunner Robert King spoke about the finale of season 6 of The Good Wife in an interview with TVLine on May 6 and teased revelations particularly pertaining to Kalinda (Archie Panjabi).

Alicia To Be More 'Humble' And Will 'Soften' In The Finale 

Fans have been whetted for the much awaited moment Alicia (Julianna Margulies) and Kalinda are going to share in the series, which will amount to some sort of closure for the two of them.

In one of the recent episodes Alicia buckled over after reading the note Kalinda left her. It might obviously have just been a goodbye, but the sudden shock that Alicia felt in her gut alluded to something more. In the interview with TVLine, King suggested that the mystery of the note will be resolved in the finale, titled 'Wanna Partner?.' And that won't be all, there will be much more that will be addressed about Kalinda's life and also a possible threat from Lemond Bishop (Mike Colter).

The Good Wife Renewed For Two More Seasons?  

"Other than the note to Alicia, what Alicia and Kalinda think of each other now that they've all been humbled by the experience of the last six years," he said. "They had a breakup, essentially, at the end of Season 2. What they feel about all that has happened, I would say. We have Wallace Shawn for this last episode, as Bishop's fixer-lawyer Charles Lester. There will be issues he raises that only Kalinda can answer. Is Kalinda's life in danger? Questions like that are in the mix."

King also spoke about how they wanted to take a different route with Kalinda's character arc than they did with Will Gardner's (Josh Charles):

"We didn't have the element of surprise we had with Josh Charles - where there was a real shock associated with it, except for [TVLine], thanks very much! [Laughs] What we wanted to do was have the surprise in that [Kalinda's goodbye] wasn't the last episode - and then have the feeling Cary does coming off of that: 'Really, is that it? Is that my goodbye?' We obviously knew we had Archie 'til the end of the year - and she was excited to do more - so we wanted to have these little encores. [Laughs] It's not wrong to be disappointed by the abruptness of Kalinda leaving in Episode 20 because we knew we had these two little encores. And again, it's playing with form - so people are thrown a little bit by the moves. And by the way, this was instinctual. We didn't really have a plan. At one point we were thinking, 'wouldn't it be fun if we ended Kalinda's story much earlier than everyone [expected]?' But then stories came out of that, and this is the one that felt like it would be the most satisfying in the long run to fans."

The finale is set to air on CBS on May 10.
