Will Gardner is dead. The Good Wife Season 5, Episode 15, Dramatics Your Honor, delivers one of the most shocking moments in network television history. What starts as a courthouse procedural - Will defending client Jeffrey Grant on a DNA murder charge, Alicia enduring a hostile deposition with investigator Dubeck, Diane and Kalinda doing what they do - ends with a single gunshot that breaks the whole show open. Jeffrey Grant, panicked and misreading the moment, grabs an unholstered gun in the courtroom. Will is found at the hospital, already gone, alone in a curtained room. Kalinda and Diane are the ones who find him. Alicia gets the news mid-dinner from Eli. Will Gardner is gone. Nothing is the same.
