So...The Good Wife Jumped The Shark Last Night

I think The Good Wife jumped the proverbial shark last night. We'll see if the writers can write themselves out of this...but I don't know. If they don't, I may not watch next season. This episode just didn't work for me on oh so many levels. Up to this point, while the political campaign has been outlandish at times, it's generally speaking worked. Or I've been giving them the benefit of the doubt - reading it as wicked satire. But last night, several things sort of felt like they were being thrown at the audience out of the blue - for shock value. And the satire lost it's subtle edge and just ...well, became unbelievable.

What happened? What went wrong? Why did I dislike it?
