Once a cheater, always a cheater and Peter proved that again in the penultimate episode of "The Good Wife" Season 7 finale. With just one more episode to go before the show bows on television, "Verdict" had to end in a cliffhanger. So, what did viewers learn about Peter's trial?
"The Good Wife" Season 7 Episode 21 "Verdict" revealed that Peter Florrick (Chris Noth) has been having a long-standing affair with State's Attorney lawyer Geneva Pine. Was anyone shocked? Hardly. This was a fact everyone knew at Peter's work. When this was revealed by Louis Canning (Michael J. Fox) to Alicia Florrick (Juliana Margulies), she was not surprised as well, knowing her husband's history of cheating.

Nor was Alicia interested to find out what Geneva's motives are. Instead, she focused on the litigation of her soon-to-be ex-husband. Despite their marriage, she still wants to help clear his name. Her colleague, Dianne Lockhart (Christin Baranski), took charge of the defense and showed her A-game. But realizing they're losing, they sought to take a two-year plea deal for Peter.
Alicia told him she would visit him in prison. However, before viewers learn what the jury has to say about the case, the writers decided to leave the episode with Peter standing, waiting to hear the verdict for next week, TV Line reports.
