A new report gave away a juicy spoiler for season 6 of The Good Wife, revealing that the flirtatious intern in Governor Florrick's office will return in the next chapter.

An 'Internal Crisis' Will Threaten To Destroy Florrick-Agos In Season 6

TVLine reported that Eli's (Alan Cumming) main worry will be back and might threaten to make the governor vulnerable again. In season 5 the governor subtly responded to the overly sexual advances of his young intern, as him and Alicia (Julianna Margulies) were only pretending to be married for public goodwill and were free to do as they pleased. But the intern spells great trouble for the governor owing to his scandalous past that almost jeopardised his political career, and it it seems like Eli will have to stay incredibly alert in the next chapter of the show as well.

The brief synopsis for the premiere of Season 6 was also recently revealed by CBS:
