In this episode of The Good Pod, Jason and Marissa dig into The Good Wife Season 4, Episode 20, “Rape: A Modern Perspective,” an episode that feels like both a courtroom drama and a very special episode. The hosts unpack Rainey’s civil case against Todd Bratcher, the dangers of trying rape cases in the court of public opinion, and how anonymous activism complicates justice. Along the way, they explore themes of idealism versus realism, especially as Alicia wrestles with her feelings for Will, Carrie quietly plots a firm rebellion, and Diane faces the price of Supreme Court ambition. It’s a heavy episode with big ideas, messy morality, and major turning points as Season 4 barrels toward its end.
