bros402 August 15, 2019 Share August 15, 2019 Samantha finds herself caught in the middle of a tricky situation when Mike picks a fight with Harvey. That was definitely an episode Took me over an hour to watch it because the USA Network site kept dying on me Link to comment
Adultosaurus August 15, 2019 Share August 15, 2019 I just love Mike...though he looked kind of off. Too much forehead? 1 Link to comment
theredhead77 August 15, 2019 Share August 15, 2019 I loved seeing Mike & Harvey together and seeing how they are both changing in their own ways. Hate Faye so much and hope they take her down! I don't care that the firm is shady and lives in shades of gray. It was never 100% ethical and I'm OK with that. I love everything about this show though. The ridiculous plots, the clothing & furniture / apartment porn, Donna and Harvey playing out like a fanfiction. I am here for it all! 3 Link to comment

I don't get all the hate. There have been a couple of dull episodes and some slow story arcs, but damn! I have enjoyed 8 seasons of fun TV and your aforementioned eye candy! I thought Suits was as good as Boston Legal and will be surprised if anyone can pull it off again. I Floved Mike's reply to "how's Rachel"?!!! 😂🤣😂 I knew they would do that and hope they milk it a little more! Gonna miss my Wednesday nights at the firm! 1 Link to comment
nittany cougar August 15, 2019 Share August 15, 2019 (edited) The best part for me was the Mike and Harvey interaction. Their friendship was one of the best parts of the show. I thought that the Donna and Katrina interaction was odd. I don't buy that a sophisticated attorney like Katrina acts like a high school kid with a guy. What was with the 20 messages she tried to leave? I think that an experienced professional would be able to leave a phone message. Donna's advice was dumb. Who the fuck is Donna to tell Katrina not to be obssessed with a guy from work? Donna spent 12 years crushing on a co-worker and also dated a client. I think the more in character advice for Donna would have been to introduce Katrina to a new guy or suggest online dating. It would be a lot easier for Katrina to let go of Brian if she had a real romantic relationship. The advice to do hobbies was bullshit. At a certain point, people get sick of being alone. I speak from experience. Katrina's obsession with Brian shows a need for a real connection with a guy. Edited August 15, 2019 by nittanycougar 3 Link to comment
Noneofyourbusiness August 15, 2019 Share August 15, 2019 Oh great, everyone's going to band together to oust Faye and get Samantha the job back that she just proved she doesn't deserve. Go team? Yeah, if the writers think I'm rooting for that, they don't know me. Also, if Samantha fabricated evidence of Mike making a shady deal and made it public to tank his client's case, then there should be more repercussions for Mike than just losing the case, and he has even more reason to be mad at Harvey because Harvey let Samantha harm Mike's professional reputation, but Mike didn't mention that. And Harvey wouldn't do that. This would potentially cost Mike future clients. 4 Link to comment
NeenerNeener August 15, 2019 Share August 15, 2019 (edited) So Katrina signed up for a ballet class? If I remember Center Stage correctly she's got "bad turn-out". I cheered when Faye fired Samantha. Too bad it won't stick. Edited August 15, 2019 by NeenerNeener 1 4 Link to comment
mommalib August 16, 2019 Share August 16, 2019 I hope that's not how Mike and Harvey end. Is Patrick J Adams coming back again? It felt like Mike never left especially his interaction with Harvey. Samantha deserved to get fired, She was so annoying in this ep. 1 Link to comment

Joimiaroxeu August 19, 2019 Share August 19, 2019 "Glass" slippers cost $9K? Don't a lot strippers wear those lucite shoes? I can't imagine they're ever paying that much for them. What's the deal with Katrina's fairly frozen face? Too much botox and fillers? Samantha used to babysit Rachel. Right. KH only two years older than MM. Has the show made Rachel a lot younger in MM's absence or is KH playing Samantha a lot older? Link to comment

Maybe he got the slippers at Tiffany's or something 😛 I think they're playing Heigl a bit older - maybe she's playing a 45, 46 year old, so when she was 16, she was babysitting an 8 year old 1 Link to comment

I think she was around Mike's age in the suits. They were before their 30's at the beginning of the show in my opinion Link to comment
theredhead77 August 19, 2019 Share August 19, 2019 I thought the general consensus was Mike was in his late 20s when Harvey hired him and Rachel was in her mid-late 20s (so 27 for Mike and 25 or 26 for Rachel). I've been thinking about it and what annoyed me the most about this episode is that Harvey had no napkins. Sure, he's a bachelor who works long hours and has the means to dine out but dude is in his late 40s and [was] entertaining women in his home. Not having napkins for cocktails or coffee drips [at the least] is asinine. Link to comment
Orbert August 19, 2019 Share August 19, 2019 I was glad when Samantha got fired. She deserved it. I mostly liked Robert, but that whole season with him as the head of the firm, yet listed as a guest star (I know, conflating actor and role, but work with me), was weird and I was kinda relieved when they figured out how to write him out. I don't even like Samantha so she can go any time. We got the long-awaited return of Mike to kick Harvey's butt, and mostly got it, and mostly in a satisfying way, then Samantha had to fuck it all up. Louis and Sheila and their roleplaying. Yawn. As a father of two, I know what it's like living with a mother-to-be. I have no interest in watching a fictitious one on TV, played for laughs, groans, or otherwise, so apparently I'm not the target audience there. What did Mike say about how Rachel is doing? I didn't really catch it, and even wondered a few times why Rachel wasn't there too, then remembered Oh yeah, Meghan Markle, Duchess of Something and quasi-royal (I think). Link to comment

KH only two years older than MM. Has the show made Rachel a lot younger in MM's absence or is KH playing Samantha a lot older? Googling suggests that Jimmy Choo made some glass slippers a few years back that cost $4500 or so, and Louboutin made a pair as well. So I could see that Louis and Sheila paid for premium stuff to go for their roleplay. I mean, apparently Louis had $50k in an account that Sheila didn't have access to that he used to pay the fake anonymous donation and didn't think twice about it. He's been a partner for years, probably pulling down at least $1 mill a year and is a financial genius. Plus, Sheila probably brings in a couple hundred k as a law school dean, and not chump change before when she was in Harvard's outplacement office. So splurging on shoes when the cheapish kind could be probably bought for $50 is something they can do. Like others, I think that we have always been meant to think that Rachel is <30 and Samantha is >40. 2 Link to comment
Joimiaroxeu August 19, 2019 Share August 19, 2019 Quote So splurging on shoes when the cheapish kind could be probably bought for $50 is something they can do. Oh I had no doubt they could afford to blow $9K on some shoes. I just didn't understand why they would spend that much on what is basically a novelty item. Such is the curse of having too much money, I guess. 🙄 Quote Like others, I think that we have always been meant to think that Rachel is <30 and Samantha is >40. I adore the Duchess of Sussex but if Rachel is/was supposed to be under 30 then IMO she's a 20-something who looks like she's been rode hard and put up wet. And I don't know why Heigl would agree to play older just so the show could create an extra special relationship between her and Mike's wife as a plot point. The fact that Rachel is Robert's daughter could've sufficed, I think. 1 Link to comment
