The synopsis for the upcoming episode of The Good Wife suggests that there might be a nudge toward Alicia (Julianna Margulies) and Elsbeth (Carrie Preston) breaking the heat of opposition to emerge stronger on the same side.

Alicia Takes Her First Campaign Interview With Hyde Pierce In Episode 7?

In the previous episode Alicia and Elsbeth had been fighting against each other in court, but it seems like a common charge on both their clients might dispel the animus and force them to work together. The synopsis for the episode, entitled Old Spice, states that the government will accuse both their clients of economic espionage.

Here's the entire synopsis:

An "Internal Crisis" Will Threaten To Destroy Florrick-Agos

"Alicia and Elsbeth put their legal battle on hold when the government brings an economic espionage charge against both of their clients. Meanwhile, Diane sets her sights on moving Florrick/Agos/Lockhart into the Lockhart/Gardner/Canning office space, leading to a battle with her former partners David Lee and Louis Canning, on THE GOOD WIFE."

This previous episode marked Preston's return on the show, which was confirmed earlier this year. In an interview dated August 17 Preston spoke about her recurring part in season 6 of the show.

Speaking to AssignmentX, the actress stated that she didn't have much information about the next season but suggested that she was pretty sure that her character would be addressing Will's (Josh Charles) death in the next chapter.

"I mean, I would imagine that when I do come back that they will have me at least address that, because my character worked closely with his character, so I'm sure that Elsbeth is going to deal with lots of that," Preston said. "Elsbeth feels things very acutely, so I think they would give me a moment to [react]."

She had no knowledge of how much of her fans would get to see in the next season, but was guessing it would be about the same as in the last.

"I wish it was up to me," she said. "I think it's probably going to be around the same as what I've usually been doing, but I don't know."

Old Spice will be released on October 26 at 9:30 pm ET and 9pm PT on CBS.

Watch a preview of the previous episode, entitled Shiny Objects, which captures the slightly funny showdown between Alicia and Elsbeth:
