Elsbeth Tascioni successfully wrapped up the season's final case. The critically acclaimed CBS series took viewers on a journey filled with its unique heroine and the best guest star cast on television, featuring notable villains this season like Stephen Colbert, Dianne Wiest, Amy Sedaris, and Steve Buscemi. For Carrie Preston, it was a challenging yet equally rewarding marathon. Known for her performances in True Blood and Claws, Preston won an Emmy for portraying the Elsbeth character in her previous version on The Good Wife, and now, after years of supporting and guest roles, she takes on the lead for the first time.

The season finale featured a poignant scene where Elsbeth's son Teddy (Ben Levi Ross) proposes to his boyfriend Roy (Hayward Leach). Additionally, the return of the character Kaya (Carra Patterson), who had mostly been absent throughout the season, coincided with Elsbeth's weekly case, providing viewers with a surprising moment. Patti LuPone's guest appearance as a cabaret artist trying to protect her beloved apartment in New York became one of the unforgettable moments of the season.

In a special interview following the season finale, Carrie Preston discussed the reasons behind Kaya's absence in the third season and whether we might see more of her in the future. She also shared how LuPone's performance moved her and expressed her relief that Elsbeth is now classified as a comedy at the Emmys. This season clearly left a lasting impact on viewers with the depth of Elsbeth's character and the entertaining aspects of the story.
