THIS WEEK IN "THE ETHICS OF THE GOOD WIFE":  Boyfriend and Girlfriend stand accused of a shooting during a robbery; neither yet is talking about who fired the weapon.  Can one law firm represent both of them during the police investigation/interrogation? Can it only do so if it constructs a wall between the two sets of lawyers involved in the dual representation?

Yet another time-sensitive episode (along with the death penalty appeal and the potential Al Gore plaintiff), and not a bad one.  (Hey, it's always good to see Leelee Sobieski working again; I've been a fan since Never Been Kissed), and we are definitely upping the drama on The Most Important Law Firm Dissolution in the History of the World, though remaining 0-for-12 in solving NYMag's checklist of show mysteries.Yes, I do wish there were some subtlety to Blake's one-note thuggery, and isn't there supposed to be a State's Attorney race going on?  Still, another good, cynical episode, in which there's nothing Will does that doesn't backfire.
