“We are into bookends - we just are,” says Robert King, who also directed the finale. It calls back to the series’ own premiere, which arrived less than a month after Trump’s 2017 inauguration, and famously opened with a gob-smacked Diane watching his swearing in. While no one was slapped at the end of “The Good Fight,” the not-so-speculative closing sequence hit hard enough to sting, as Diane and Liz (Audra MacDonald) watched footage of the former president donning a 2024 hat in front of an adoring audience. Only this time, it was a betrayed Diane Lockhart ( Christine Baranski) who left a mark on Alicia’s cheek, having watched the latter expose her husband Kurt’s (Gary Cole) affair in court. As such, “The Good Fight” ended where it began, something co-creators Robert and Michelle King had also done with the show’s predecessor, the Julianna Margulies-led CBS drama “The Good Wife.” In that series finale, Margulies’ Alicia Florrick found herself on a contemplative walk down the same hallway from the pilot episode, where she had slapped her unfaithful state’s attorney husband.
