SPOILER: What was the phone call about?

I've just watched the last episode for the first time and like most shows it leaves a lot of questions unanswered.

What irritate me the most is that we never learn why Will called Alicia before his death. I know she thought about some reasons why he would call, but I hoped this would be answered in the finale. Or at least we would be given her interpretation of what he wanted.

I've read that the writers know why he called. Have they ever tried to explain it?

maibritt1988,

I've read that the writers know why he called. Have they ever tried to explain it?

The Kings said they're not telling, maybe Josh Charles might in the future (source: http://www.eonline.com/news/537685/how-the-good-wife-accomplished-the-impossible-and-the-one-secret-that-will-never-be-revealed):

But there's one thing that will remain a secret: Why did Will (Charles) call Alicia (Margulies) shortly before he was shot and killed? The Kings don't plan to spill the beans on that anytime soon.

"Much of it is about Alicia having to tell herself the story that makes her feel good," Robert said. "We kind of wanted it to be never answered because it's really what Alicia decides for herself." However, Robert said they know why Will called "only because we needed to and we needed to help Josh come to a place. Maybe Josh will tell someone some day."

"It's buried with Will," Michelle said.

Best wishes,

janar
