The creators of The Good Wife suggested that flashbacks of Will (Josh Charles) and Alicia's (Julianna Margulies) relationship dating back in college would feature in the next episode, A Few Words.

In an interview with TVLine, Robert and Michelle King revealed that the next episode of the CBS series might reignite the passion that still lingers between Will and Alicia, as Mrs. Florrick goes down memory lane. Michelle said that the next episode would feature "Will-Alicia" scenes that fans have "never seen before."

While we know that Alicia and Will go way back to law school, where they first met and the association aided Alicia getting a job at Lockhart/Gardner despite the 15-year gap in her practicing law.

In A Few Words, Alicia will be giving a speech about being an opt-out mom at the American Bar Association. The event takes her back to the post-scandal period and the time when Will took her on as an associate at his firm.

"Alicia has to give a speech about being an opt-out mom, and in giving this speech at the American Bar Association, she has to review her time being hired. Which brings her back to Will and Alicia at the very beginning of their relationship. It actually predates the pilot by months," Robert said.

As we rewind to that period, Robert also laughed about the different versions -- distinguished by how she wears her hair -- of Alicia fans will be privy to in one episode.

"There are three styles," Robert said. "It's so funny because you have Alicia in the present day, where she's turned into kind of a ballsy woman, and then Julianna [Margulies] just flips a switch and just plays herself five years ago as this slightly innocent suburban mom - and you completely believe it."

But it seems like something consructive might come out of this episode as the former lovers arrive at some form of closure and "reach some understanding of their new relationship," according to Robert.

A Few Words will air on March 16 at 9/8c on CBS.
