Only one episode of Elsbeth is left in the first season in the spring 2024 TV schedule , and it won't be business as usual for the The Good Wife lawyer-turned-NYPD contributor. Captain Wagner told her at the end of the penultimate episode that he couldn't trust her enough to work for him after she'd deceived him for so long. If he has his way, the case of the Season 1 finale might Elsbeth's last alongside Kaya.
Wendell Pierce opened up about the situation to CinemaBlend. In the penultimate episode, Wagner didn't take the time to celebrate capturing Noonan with Elsbeth after their sting operation. Instead, he told her that he could never trust her after she investigated him behind his back for months.
He intends to send her back to Chicago . Since that would probably be the end of Elsbeth as we know it and CBS renewed the show for Season 2 , the big question is whether or not Wagner will stick to his guns about getting Carrie Preston's character out of NYC. Wendell Pierce shed some light on the situation, telling CinemaBlend how he reacted to the reveals from the second-to-last episode of the first season: The penultimate episode was perfect.
We discover Wagner is a man of integrity. And we still have the finale to resolve the betrayal he feels by Elsbeth. While the prospect of Elsbeth being sent away may not be what fans want with just one episode left in the season, it's very easy to understand why Wagner wouldn't want to continue working with her.
