'The Good Wife' season 7 spoilers: Howard calls out ageism, lawyers talk cotton balls in episode 5 'Payback'

The new episode of "The Good Wife" season 7 will be downright out of the ordinary, if the promo for it is any indication. Titled "Payback," the episode sees the whole office crowding together for a very special activity that presumably facilitates better harmony in the workplace.

But as many might have already guessed, this doesn't go smooth. The clip for the installment shows Lucca and Alicia confused after being told to share their most embarrassing experience. The lawyers were then asked to put a cotton ball into their right nostril.

Knowing that a cotton ball getting involved in the process just amps up the weirdness, Cary thought things are getting odder and said, "This is not happening," but nonetheless placed the cotton ball where it was instructed to be in and even wore 3D glasses like the Diane and the rest.

One of the issues this "The Good Wife" season 7 episode will tackle is the so-called ageism within the Lockhart, Agos & Lee law firm. Howard Lyman, whom Alicia advised back when she was part of the team, accuses the group of stereotyping.

But he thinks that Cary is the guiltiest person among them. This must explain their gibberish bickering in the promo. "You crossed the line," Cary confronts Howard, easily starting a fight. At one point in the clip, Howard looked like he was enumerating every possible word synonymous to old –"Geezer, gargoyle, Placido Domingo," he said, the last remark silently shocking Diane.

In the upcoming "The Good Wife" season 7 episode, fans will also see Eli kindle some drama within the Florrick family in the midst of Peter's presidential campaign. In the promo, Alicia straightforwardly tells Eli that she no longer trusts him, which could mean that he is up to no good.

Lastly, the new installment will also see how Jason gets his work done. To finish a student loan case with Alicia and Lucca, he uses what the synopsis teased as "aggressive investigative tactics."

"The Good Wife" season 7 episode 5 "Payback" airs Nov. 1.
