In the next episode of The Good Wife, Alicia's (Juliana Margulies) firm gets a new client and Will (Josh Charles) is seen flirting with a new woman at work.

The past few episodes of the show have been incredibly intense, with two firms warring against each other and the build up of the deadly tension between Will and Alicia. It seems like the upcoming episode, Ice Ice Baby, might finally breathe some humourous respite and lighten things up.

A preview for the Nov. 17 episode shows Alicia and Cary high five and celebrate their firm's first client. Will is seen laughing and flirting with a woman at work, who seems to be a new office colleague. One of the senior associates and Diana observe Will's behavior through glass doors from a distance.

"Might we have a Yoko Ono problem here?" the associate asks Diane, who rolls her eyes as they see Will with the new woman.

Eli Gold (Alan Cumming) also bumps into Natalie (America Ferrera) in the clip, and sparks fly. 

In the previous episode, The Next Week, the two firms were seen battling it out for clients. Alicia was willing to play it dirty to claim clients from Lockhart/Gardner for her new firm, Florrick/Agos. While her former employers tried to bolt all doors and stymie Alicia's plans it seems like she is gradually making headway.

Ice, Ice Baby is scheduled to air Nov. 17 at 8 p.m. E.T. on CBS.
