OMGEEE!!!! What a fantastic episode👏

How did they show so many varied emotions in just 44 minutes!! In my opinion, one of the best episodes we have seen recently.

I looove Harvey and Mike. Just one scene together they had...and my heart melted. It reflected on Harvey's face how proud he feels about Mike's success. I am really missing them together this season. Hope they get some more scenes!

I have always said, Jessica is THE QUEEN! Everyone bow down to her! The way she handles Harvey and Louis and Mike's secret, only she alone could do it. She was amazing in this episode. The power and authority with which speaks to all the men, you just have to listen to her😃

I have been missing the "original Donna" this season. As she has left Harvey, it seems a part of her awesomeness has also been left behind😆 But even then, she continues to be great. She knows Harvey inside and out. Hence, she knew for sure that Louis must have said something nasty for Harvey to hit him. Liked her advise of keeping things inside the family". Absolutely loved when Harvey says "If you don't know for sure that I deserve your help, then you don't know me at all"👏👏

Lastly, I don't want to comment on the Rachel plot. I was fully with Jessica that Mike should not be given partner. He can't afford visibility. PERIOD! I am already surprised the engagement has lasted so long😆 So it won't be much of a shocker for me if the marriage doesn't take place due to whatever reason. we all know the Mike-Rachel fairytale is crashing soon!

Agree with you reshamc

That was one power packed episode.. So much happened and most of it was portrayed so well

One scene was all it took to show what Harvey and Mike share...they haven't had much of screen time together this season.. But its moments like these where u know how strong a team they are and how much Mike's vote means to Harvey.. One line that he wouldn't miss it for anything and he conveys so much..and the look on his face when Mike gets a unanimous vote😳

Louis is an asshole.. I still stick to it that Harvey was in the wrong last episode but he did everything right this episode.. To the extent that he totally opened upto Louis.. I get that tLouis has deep seated insecurities and doesn't believe Harvey but that was as low low blow..

And frankly I have had enough of this back and forth between the two.

I am presuming they will find some way for louis to stop the vote of turn it in Harvey's favor, but I won't be surprised if they indeed suspend him or he voluntarily takes it given his character trajectory this year..but no matter what, for once I would like that after this (atleast for this season) they don't use louis Harvey feud to forward the plot..been done enough times for one season

In fact would love if Harvey doesn't reach a truce..he's done his bit

Jessica was so awesome..so many problems on her hand..soloff questioning abt Mike's junior partnership, harvey-louis feud..she handled most things as well as anyone could..and her answer to louis..that everyome knew whose side she was on

Soloff tried to work as a team player..even saving Harvey from immediate suspension..but whatever dirt Hardman has on him, he is going to go against the firm and Harvey, even if he doesn't want to..atleast from the looks of it..unless his mistakes/crimes are irredeemable, its quite possible that by the end of it, he might be made a name partner

Finally there is drama to mike-racheal story..the bubble had to burst..Claire put it straight in front of Mike in the end.. Racheal is thinking if a dream marriage and Mike now has to think if marriage is even an option..

In the midst of all this, one character whom I just didn't care about - Donna..considering she t8ld louis that she was done working if he used Harvey's weakness in front of everyone and now louis has realised he shouldn't, maybe she wouldn't leave him ..it was the nth variation of her babysitting louis 🥱

I particularly like Harvey's parting shot at her.If you don't know for sure that I deserve your help, then you don't know me at all..i hoped CVs would give some clarity to her character but looks like they don't plan to..so I am not keeping up holes that we will have a defined reaction to her getting to know of Harvey's panic attacks apart from the generic one when she spoke to louis

What a way to ruin an awesome character

PS: Game of Throne reference 👍🏼

Never get tired of Harvey-Mike interactions & this season these have been few & far between, much to my disappointment.

Harvey: Come on, it's not everyday you make partner, & I've never known anyone who deserves it as much as you.

Mike: Except for you.

Harvey: Well that goes without saying.

Mike: So why'd you say it?

Harvey: Because it had to be said.

Mike: Ahh.

Harvey: Seriously, Mike, you deserve this. I'm glad you got it. I just wish I could have been the one that made it happen.

Mike: I'm just glad you made it in the meeting after everything that happened between you & Louis.

Harvey: Believe it or not, it was Louis who actually invited me to come back to work.

Mike: How'd you manage to get him to do that?

Harvey: Well, you wouldn't believe me if I told you. But even if he hadn't invited me back, an army couldn't have kept me away from your partnership vote.

Mike: Come on, Harvey, it's just a formality. They've already given me the title.

Harvey: It may be just a formality, but that meeting is not happening without my vote on the record.

Louis - methinks, even if someone were to commit a murder against Louis, they would manage to get away coz he always manages to splendidly shoot himself in the foot.

The episode was titled Mea Culpa (Latin for My Fault) Food for thought - who was at fault?

Harvey for his wrongdoings that he apologized to Louis for?

Mike for confronting his past even though Jessica explicitly asked him to repay by making sure the opposing counsel does not find out about his secret?

Louis for acting yet again without thinking?

Jack Soloff for being forced into acting with the devil?

Rachel for being insecure?

Jessica for giving in once again to the threat of Mike's secret surfacing? Or

Donna, whom we have yet to see what she does with the information of Harvey's panic attacks? Could she have have wielded more power over Louis than shown?

Probably the best episode of this season .. nothing happened as I assumed and honestly, I loved it. Suits is definitely the best-written drama I have ever seen.

The best part was Harvey-Mike scene .. this season reduced the bromance however, the way Harvey said an army couldn't stop him I felt content.

Last week I was angry with Harvey. I still stand by what I said, Harvey should not do what he did but this time what Harvey did is really commendable. I liked the fact that instead of doing things his own cocky way he took advice from his therapist and apologised to Louis. I never imagined Harvey to open his heart in front of Louis.

Louis being Louis once again ruined everything. The moment I start feel for this guy, he has to spoil it in worst ways. I can understand he didn't believe Harvey but he could simply announce the war on Harvey's face saying - I don't believe you/ I don't give a damn but what he did was outright cheap. I hope writers find a way to redeem him properly and he stops being this emotional idiot every time.

Jessica was as usual awesome. Well, last week I said I hate her, but it was an irrational reaction of a moment😆. She is the true queen. She has cleared her priority since the beginning and I loved how she cleared her stand right on the face of Louis.

Loved how Donna puts some sense in Louis. She is named "Donna" for a reason. [If I am not wrong both Harvey & Louis means warrior.] Anyway, Harvey-Donna scene was brilliantly enacted. I wasn't expecting their scene on this week. The best part was where Harvey said "If you don't know for sure that I deserve your help, then you don't know me at all" .. I just can't but notice Gabriel Match's voice modulation during the scene.. Amazing 👏

This is the first time that I wasn't skipping Rachel's scenes .. I felt bad for her, anyway, I have no opinion on Mike-Rach relationship .. hope writers do whatever it is needed to keep things right.

Where and what shall i start with? 🤔 too much in one episode.

Louise - totally disappointed with him. I use to love him in this serial and thought he always does things out of foolishness but this time i cant agree more with Donna. He has lost it. Not only he lost his trust from his own partners - he truly lost indeed a valuable friendship with harvey. Cant feel sorry for louise anymore as everyone is against him.

As for Mike - for a second i saw arrogant in him handling this case and the way he treated rachel at that very moment. But next moment when he brought the cake for her testing came and i was like melted away. I personally don't feel Mike deserves that junior partnership. Mainly cause his not qualified for it though his good with law. But he needs to either take a step and do the studies and get the cert now rather then just running away or getting away with this. His not only going to harm the company - his going to hurt rachel so badly.

Jessica - i am admiring her more then usual these days. The way she works things out among all the troubles that comes to her. Hats off to her.
