That “Black Hawk Down” shit followed up with the “Dark Knight Rising” was hilarious.
And it ironically describes my reaction to Meghan Markle’s magnificent legs.

Mike with the nice view of Rachel in the morning.
Harvey and Scottie stay feeling out their arrangement.
I dunno about bringing her to your workplace though…
lol @ the jabs about relationships between Jessica and Harvey.
Jessica’s right though… What happens if/when they break up?
There’s Louis… and he’s on a mission to expose Mike.
Scottie and Jessica stay negotiating terms.
Two-fold, indeed; relationship with Harvey and employment stuffs.
1/2 million buy-in is one hell of a commitment, especially if things don’t pan out.
Harvey’s definition of “I want you in my life” is pretty specific, lol.
Mike gets a shot at the lawyer guy who affected his life? Interesting.
He looks pretty srs. Let’s see how he does.
Good start, until that momentary pause with some flashback stuffs.
Harvey with the bailout, but limited time only offer, though.
Yay, Donna.
Louis doing some homework here, but Donna with the cover story.
That scenario of Mike’s ‘ousting’ panning out would make for an interesting scene, were it to be visited in a later episode.
Donna with the heads up to Harvey about Louis’ venture, and that he’s onto something.
Mike with the feels about his parents… makes Rachel help him out with the case.
It looks like he has made some headway with the casting of doubt, though.
However, “to beat a monster, you have to become a monster”, and in this case the ‘evil monster’ just threw that back in Mike’s face with the reality of what actually happened back then.
Scottie making plays at Harvey’s expense, and relegating him to ‘third wheel’ status…
What happened in Beijing?
Louis planning on going that extra step with regarding Sheila’s ability, but Donna stops that nonsense with a preview of what could happen. Louis… do you still want to have a (close) non-feline friend?
Sheila makes a surprise visit… and Louis doesn’t fumble?
Later, he almost blows it, but Sheila keeps it real by slapping him and reaffirms their special relationship.
WTF at the movie references.
Things appear to have sorted themselves out as Louis isn’t saying anything about what happened in the file room.
Relationship and trust issues… doesn’t everyone at Pearson-Specter have them?
There’s also money/buy-in stuffs, but it appears that Harvey has a plan.
The ‘non-compete’ does sound better, considering the price of the buy-in, though.
Though shook up, Mike has either/or offer for the lawyer guy, which looks to pan out for both parties?
Oh, damn… Harvey put up the buy-in for Scottie, who is mad about it, but the duo works through stuff, together.
lol @ Harvey to Scottie, “You know, I don’t listen when you say things.”
Rachel showing Mike why she’s a keeper, though furniture negotiations are a no-go.
lol @ Louis looking over Mike’s transcript and comparing his own grades.
Oh, wait. He sees something and later gets confirmation from someone who actually took that certain class.
Let’s see where this goes from here.
Just got around to seeing E9. Man, I’m behind.
yooo, next week looks intense. that hacker chick made the ultimate cheater 101 noob mistake, never give youreself too much credit. why give an a+ ever. just give mike a’s and b+ and call it a day. i do like that such a small miniscule mistake is what fucked everything up. not even something mike would have known, or guessed to be a problem.
there is going to have to be some great writing this season, because i have no idea how theyre going to come back from this. louis is ultra conservative, and i dont think there is going to be much they can offer without exposing themselves as being in on it too, that louis would agree to.
the fact of the matter is, mike, had a time limit on this from the start. there was no way someone wouldnt eventually find this out, especially considering how buddy buddy that harvard shit is, with only harvey not really giving a fuck about all that shit.
this should be good. as we found out this season, its crazy because mike actually could have went to harvard legit, but dem life problems. im curious how they will all sit down with louis and get him to calm down.
I’m not too worried about Louis finding out about Mike; since Jessica knows she’ll just tell Louis to STFU and stop being a pussy, and then Litt will whine like a little puppy and then accept it. Louis is prideful, ardent, and loves feeling elite, so his only recourse will be to either quit or try to legally fight them. Either way, he loses.
The good news is that Louis hasn’t completely found out about Mike. He just doesn’t think he went to Harvard. As far as he’s concerned, Mike still has a Law Degree. So unless someone fucks up, there’s not much Louis can do about it. There’s nothing against the law about Jessica lifting the Harvard-only rule from the Law Office for an exception (plus she actually did it for Rachel).
The PROBLEM would come if he found out Mike’s a complete fraud.
Never mind. I did not expect Louis to go this far for this shit. Didn’t think he’d risk the firm’s rep over this.
Now, we have a problem.
seems like the louis finding out about mike arc is now dead. have they even hinted about what the major arc for this season will be? harvey and scotty? mike and rachel? is there a big baddie this year or what?
I doubt it’s completely done. Mike said it himself, they’re on borrowed time. This is still just patchwork.
But yeah, no there doesn’t seem to be much of an inkling of another overriding arc so I really can’t believe that they’re going to drop it after two episodes.
Man, it was a good episode though. I liked it.
i dont know. the promo for the next episode doesnt appear to be related at all. i think theyre kinda just enjoying a bit of normalcy for this season, with regular ups and downs, but not really focussing on imminent doom.
it does seem like too good of an opportunity to have an episode of mike or someone sneaking in mike’s harvard file to shortys library (or somewhere where she can pick it up. not that its needed, because his transcript is still in the system), and just calling it a day. the fact of the matter is mikes situation is so easy to blow up, personally i would avoid it from here on out. i mean he is here to stay, and louis being in on it takes a bit away from the fun of his character always being at that right distance. i mean maybe the writers will use this to try to create a legit friendship between louis and harvey, as harvey begs him to let it go, but i just think it would be too much of a hassle to deal with this mike shit again.
there are so many ways to easily blow up mikes spot, and even if louis was let in on it, they would have to let him in on it early before he starts trying to bring in more teachers, students, etc… to blow up his spot, because then that means more people who will know mikes a fraud and use that to blackmail the company, or worse.
harveys threat though might cost them. that professor clearly was doing something illegal, and if louis ever finds out what harvey attempted, he might start questioning why harvey would make such a grand attempt to simply stop a professor from coming to the firm, but then again it makes sense, as that professor, even if mike was legit, could fuck mike over and he would get his degree yanked from him after the teacher outs him for not being an a+ student, and then come to find out, not even being a student.
all in all, i think when its time for suits to be over, they can bring this up again, and have mike quit the firm, then try to do all of this stuff legally this time. until then, just leave the situation as it is now, that louis just knows him as a cheater. a genius, but a cheater, and nothing more. also i would just drop the thing about harvey threatening that professor, and what was that professor really up to.
i think the mike thing was just enough to keep people coming back after the last hiatus, but they never wanted to spend too much time on it again, and they didnt. now back to day to day firm shit, and new relationships.

Morning commute to work with Rachel, huh. Guess Mike isn’t gonna need that bike anymore.
Scotch is good. I wanna sample that brand, lol.
Donna looking out for Harvey when it comes to Scottie.
Oh, shit… Louis is going in and he went there. Is Louis gonna “Litt Up” Mike?
Mike is worried, but Harvey is like "I got this."
However, it seems that Mike has a plan to be somewhat on the level with Louis, but Louis is like, "Yeah, right. GTFO."
Even Rachel makes a plea to Louis about Mike’s situation.
Louis still pushing the issue for Mike to make things right. Or, else…
It looks like Quentin’s ex-wife and widow are getting personal about what should’ve been just business.
Harvey is like, “WTF are you doing, Mike?” Now I gotta go do work/fix stuff.
So, that’s Gerard. Quite a smug SOB, that one. I didn’t see a computer in the guy’s office, though.
I liked that confrontation scene between Harvey and Gerard.
For some reason, I kinda want to go back through the seasons and see how many times Harvey actually compromised on something.
Things be serious in the Specter camp.
Mike is like, “Welp, it looks like this is it.” Borrowed time, indeed.
He even mentioned the “Anchor”. This looks hella bad.
Harvey goes to see Louis and uses the ‘friend’ angle, but Louis stands his ground.
Gerard shows up… and here’s the moment of truth for Mike…
Louis decides to let it go.
Welp, it looks like things are okay, but for how long, though.
Scotch and listening to some good tunes sounds good.
All it takes is Louis’ girl to even hear Mike’s name and her say, “Mike Ross? A Mike Ross never went to Harvard.”
It’s been awhile, but I don’t think those two actually interacted.
Delaying the inevitable. It took a Hail Mary to save Mike’s ass, and the exclusion of Jessica’s influence was a way to use her as the final hammer later on when Louis finds out the whole truth. I was still impressed with how it turned out.
Sharon Leal, mmm… she may be aging but she’s still fine. 2 fine black women on one show is refreshing.
Apparently the ethics professor that Louis was gonna use to out Mike was portrayed by Gabriel Macht’s (Harvey Specter) real-life father.
Maybe somebody here already knew, but I had no idea until I randomly looked it up.
Quoting Louis to Louis?
Well, this will be a fun episode.
I like Scottie… She’s quickly becoming a favorite of mine.
Not many people can openly troll Louis and get away with it…
…well that next episode preview is certainly interesting…
But yeah, now we know how Mike’s not going to Harvard will be played out. Not with him worried about being found out, but with whether a career with no chance at advancement is enough for him.

Mike with the blessing from Bunk for Rachel gift stuffs.
It would be cool to see him on a future episode again, mainly for the progression forward with the Mike/Rachel relationship stuffs.
Donna with the quotable stuffs:
in response to Mike about giving him shit: "We take our opportunities, when they present themselves."
on Harvey gift stuffs: “He gets what he wants, and he doesn’t want what he doesn’t get.”
What does one even attempt to gift Harvey with?
Mike presents a chance at another lawyer that apparently has gotten the better of Harvey in the past, and has been ducking him ever since.
Interesting re-meeting between Harvey and the lawyer guy, Stemple… with Mike assist stuffs.
Harvey vs Stemple for main event, with Mike vs lawyer guy for side-action.
lol @ Louis being “Litt Up” with his own bylaw stuffs by Scottie: "How dare you quote me to me!"
Jessica presents Louis with an opportunity to possibly get along with Scottie and even change his own standing/reputation in the firm.
However, it seems that a conflict is imminent between Louis and Scottie regarding the scooped client stuffs.
Scottie gonna try to secure her position/standing at the firm, despite her connection to Harvey.
Harvey in that somewhat uncomfortable proxy position between Scottie and Louis… but Louis really taking the word of ‘friend’ stuffs by Harvey, to heart.
Yes. Katrina.
lol @ Scottie mocking the catchphrase of “Team Litt.”
Damn. The deposition stuffs going down like pre/post flop action stuffs in a poker game.
Yo, Stemple going (went) in with the Ali vs Liston comment, to Harvey.
Seems like the case was a means to an end for Stemple, though.
Louis stay playing the game with Scottie on his terms.
Donna appealing to Louis about cutting Scottie some slack. Dat approach w/ offering and walk-away > turn-around > look-back combo, by Donna.
The bylaw battle continues, but Scottie apparently holds some advantage over Louis, back when from her time with Darby and the ‘then’ joint venture stuffs with the firm.
Mike realizes the terms/conditions of his position at the firm, despite the case win.
Welp, them’s the breaks, considering the ‘uniqueness’ of his situation.
If the shoe was on the other foot, how would it be… in regards to Louis/Harvey and Harvey/Scottie.
The line between personal and business, makes for some tough choices.
with all this mike stuff still poppin up, i wonder how his character will develop.
rachel is dumb for going this far with mike in my opinion. like yo, you know one day this dude is going to get caught, or like was shown in the latest episode, will always be in the shadows. making a good salary, sure, but really all it takes is one inquiry into mike from ANYONE, and its over.
mikes drama is holding back the show right now imo. i dont like it, because it cannot really go anywhere, and even if louis was told, and harveys girlfriend was told, that doesnt prevent any one of the many enemies of their firm from randomly finding out mike didnt go to harvard. lets not forget the hacker that did all of that is still a liability.
they cant even do a time skip new season where mike left to get his degree somewhere, anywhere at the very least, and came back because if anyone found out about that, then he would still get in trouble for practicing without a license all this time. he wouldnt be able to take the bar again, since the system will have him as already passing and harvard as his degree.
so basically mike is totally fucked. its kind of interesting on one hand, and on the other, mikes, situation is so bad that its better to be ignored until the show ends. lol. louis really pulled a bitch card on harvey this episode too. harveys girl proved her point though, but she will likely be next to find out mikes not legit. she wont find out through harvey though, that would be too cliche, but in a roundabout way im sure, and then she will dump harvey over this. mike will feel like shit, and spend half of season 4 thinking about just quitting the firm, and just restarting life in a new career.
mike is a genius that has to have his intellect underplayed in the show as to not be too broken, but he could easily pick something else up and move on, but he is a pillar on the show, and this is not real life, so calm down jimmy. LOOL
anyways, is it me, or have the girls on the show gotten less attractive over time. rachel is too skinny, and you can see that in all her instagram pics. red head is still sexy, but you can only hide that age but so much, but its likely ive just gotten use to her now as like the mommy of the show, and she lacks spice and sexiness as she pieces together everyone elses relationships, then goes home lonely. jessica has actually gotten sexier to me over the seasons. this last episode i was just staring at her in the end scenes like, god damn you can get it all day. harveys girl is still hot though, but she interrupts harveys swag, and is obviously going to be more of a pain in the future, as mikes secret weighs on their relationship.
id like to see some new meat come soon. whatever happened to blondie, louis’s, little slave? i forgot if she left, or just kinda disappeared on the low low.
rachel hasnt been really active so far this half of the season. also harveys battle was a bit unclimactic, but i didnt expect too much.
