(CNN) -- "The Good Wife's" season 6 premiere ratings weren't revelatory, but the episode sure was. Sunday brought the return of Julianna Margulies' Alicia Florrick in an episode called "The Line," which saw an arresting unexpected twist. After the loss of Josh Charles' Will Gardner last season, it would've been reasonable for "The Good Wife" to come back mild; give its viewers' heart rates a little rest. No such luck. Viewers were instead treated to the arrest of Matt Czuchry's Cary for allegedly assisting Chicago drug dealer Lemond Bishop in transporting narcotics. Those watching at home were stunned, and, according to Czuchry, the arrest came as a surprise to him, too.
