As of now, Peter Florrick (Chris Noth) has been hitting high notes with his presidential campaign and his ambition has only been growing in season 7 of The Good Wife.

Could Hillary Clinton Guest Star In An Upcoming Episode?  

But we strongly reckon that he will hit a roadblock soon enough, and the chapter will end with his downfall in this election. Which would also mean that Eli's (Alan Cumming) conspiring against him will bear fruit. Here's why we feel that Peter will most definitely lose this presidential run. Firstly, he is running against Hillary Clinton, which kind of seals his fate. It would be very absurd if the show were to show him defeating Clinton on the show. Additionally, Eli knows Peter's weaknesses and of some of his darkest secrets which could assuredly stymie his chances.

Also, if we were to view it from a writing and plot construction point of view, to grant Peter another political victory wouldn't only be too easy but would take away from the show's complex narrative. Unless they plan on wrapping it up with Alicia playing the good wife again.

Meanwhile, Alicia is already warming upto Peter going by the preview for the upcoming episode.

Here's the official synopsis:

"Alicia and Lucca join a case involving an automotive executive represented by Lockhart, Agos & Lee, and an employee represented by Louis Canning, who was involved in a crippling accident while test-driving a car operating in "driverless" mode. Also, when Ruth and Eli pursue Courtney Paige (Vanessa Williams), a potential campaign contributor, Peter moves back in with Alicia to present a united family image."

The next episode, titled 'Driven,' will air on Nov. 15.
