Suits 3.10 Review 'Midseason Finale'

Share on Reddit

This week’s episode was the summer finale and tried to resolve the conflicts going on through the season, while also bringing on new ones. Really they might even just be recycled ones, because every finale it seems that someone discovers or is closer to the truth about Mike. First Jessica, then Rachel, now Louis. We’re watching a neverending cycle. But first let’s recap what lead to that last scene.

 Ava is back, pursuing the lawsuit against Darby and Pearson-Specter, and Travis Tanner represents her. Tanner doesn't play fair and he comes after Scottie. The depositions effectively make Harvey uncomfortable and show how much he cares for Scottie- which ends with him asking her to stay, to work with them, to be in his life. That puts a rest, for now, to the ongoing will-they-won’t-they with Donna. After a season of showing how Donna and Harvey worked, and what happened in the past, it seems pointless that they went down that road unless there’s something in store for them. In the meantime, when Suits comes back, Harvey will be in a relationship with Scottie. And for someone that tries not to care or get attached, this is the right step for character growth.

Meanwhile Mike doesn't make things easy for Rachel. If she goes to Stanford, they’re done. If we have learnt something this season is that he doesn't really put himself in her place. And in the future, it can be a problem. But for now, they’re still a thing. She’s going to Columbia after making an arrangement with Jessica. Rachel will sign the affidavit (stating she knows Mike is a fraud) if Jessica breaks the ‘only Harvard graduates work at the firm’ rule.
 Louis’s relationship with Sheila is still going on, and it’s nice to see another side to his character. Trying to make it right after messing up things with her, he finds her in the Harvard Law School’s master file room. They kiss and make up and as soon as she mentions every Harvard student file is in that room. I could hear a collective ‘oh, oh…’, but Louis won’t have time to peruse the files, right? He’s there to make things right with her, and there’s even a little picnic and candles and romance is in the air. But she needs to go and call her mother to tell her Louis stopped being a douche. What? Who in their right mind stops talking with their boyfriend to go talk to their mother?  Sheila is quirky, and that’s why she’s the perfect fit to Louis. However that line and action seems… too neat to make what happens next, happen. Louis looks through the files and, after finding Harvey’s, he looks for Mike’s too. Of course, there isn't one.

 And the question comes up again: when will Mike’s truth come to light? After a season that focused only in one case (that was especially hard to empathize with), recycling storylines doesn't seem like the smartest choice, unless there’s a plot twist around the corner that is poised to change the rules for good. We never know with Suits; and we'll have to wait until winter to find out.
