I didn’t mind Sheila as the one who did it but…the way she found out and we got to this point was just…awful.
Kinda feel like they’re hurting donna as a character by having her get stuck in the way of things on multiple occasions and having her do something so blatantly stupid like walking straight into Liberty Rail not a slight attempt at a disguise and bluff her way into the opposing groups file room.also felt like people were blowing up on Rachel (I.e mike,donna) for no real good reason just to manufacture drama.the louis ex plot was always a open door to a new problem.glad to see they didn’t just throw that to the way side
Sheila barely grazed my mind, but it’s a believable scenario I guess.
Young Donna was poorly casted, but then again, finding a young redhead doppelganger for Donna is probably not an easy feat.
Mike needs a Hail Mary because right now he’s going to drag everyone into the gates of hell just by association.
How many friends in high places does he have? He’s saved a number of influential people over 4 seasons, maybe one can bail him out somehow?
It’s not their association with Mike, it’s their association with Harvey. Mike is nothing but a catalyst so a bitch lawyer can make a career. Trying to bring in someone bigger will just give her another target. If it wasn’t Mike, it’d be someone else she’d go after. In the end, she just wants to make her career off of being the one to bring down Harvey Specter and the entirety of that firm. You see this all the time even IRL, when a DA gets a case to basically make their career they go to any lengths to get the win.
On the subject of Sheila, I don’t mind her being the one to drop the dime but…seriously they couldn’t think of any better way for her to find out? It just feels like a terrible attempt to tie Gretchen in as well.
lol this show…gawd damn. we reachin a peak. this nigga just needs to go into the tech field. A photographic memory would be great there.
I wonder if shorty is gonna go to argentina . Louis gave her that work though. You think you can stand up on trial against harvey, and him not make you look like a lying fool. Bitch please. By the way, i love louis girlfriend on Lucifer.
I’ve breathed a sigh of relief after this episode. I think it will obviously just get more intense, but it didnt seem completely as unwinable as it did before.
I think rachel and mike end for sure after this season. They will end for at least a season and a half. A good point was brought up by scottie though. Might could still get barred for this, even if found not guilty. Thats highly unlikely, and would set quite the legal precedent.
LOL, i cant look at scottie, and pretend i didnt see her masturbating intensely like a porn star when her vids were released during the fappening. I also dont care, because i assume most women are slores, or got a little freak in them. Plus it wasnt a sextape leak. It was an invasion of privacy. But i digress.
He probably will get barred and if not, just blacklisted. No one else would be dumb enough to hire him and I doubt PSL will let him work for them again. And for once this isn’t completely his fault because I doubt anyone expected that they’d be saddled with such a vindictive ass bitch of a prosecutor so willing to gain an edge on her career that she would destroy many lives in the process. She makes Tanner seem like a damn saint. Unlike people of the past, she isn’t doing it because it’s right or because it’s justice, she’s not even doing it because it’s personal. This is for nothing more than furthering her career.
She BETTER hope she wins this case, because if she doesn’t she’s gonna be thrown in jail real quick. And if she doesn’t end up in jail, there’s an entire law firm waiting to destroy her in every way imaginable.
I doubt he will get barred, or blacklisted. It would make the bar look bad to bar him for a crime he wasnt guilty of. Thats the antithesis of their existence as lawyers. Especially the ny bar of all places. I think when they beat this , PSL wont be affected at all by clients not wanting to work with them.
If the US D.A doesnt get mike this first go round, they wont be able to go at him again, short of mike admitting to it. She wont be thrown in jail for losing the case. Shes not on trial. She could get time if they find something on her, of her breaking the law, but thats highly unlikely they would find something that heavy on her, and she still decided to go to war with one of the biggest firms in NYC.
As much as i hate this 5 season long mike arc, this has been exciting, and im glad after 5 seasons, this may finally be put to rest. I think mike will only have to deal with shit from rachels dad more than anything else after this.
I imagine that daniel hardman is about to rear his ugly head in the next two episodes. No way he knows this is going down, and he doesnt use this as leverage to get back into PSL. I think this season ends with daniel hardman coming back to PSL. This season started with hardman, and i bet it ends with him.
The reason I say she’ll be put to jail potentially, is because I think the way they end up winning this case is by nailing her ass to the wall with proof of at least one shady thing she did. There’s too many landmines to avoid in order to make Mike look completely innocent. Making Gibbs look guilty though…she’s racking up that possibility with each passing day. It’s one of the most common ways to win on Suits. PSL doesn’t have to win, they just have to make Gibbs lose. She’s unwittingly granting them an extra win condition just because she wants Harvey rather than just winning the case put in front of her.
As for the blacklisting, it doesn’t have to be an official one but come on… Mike’s name is toxic at this point even if they win this trial. No other firm has legitimate reason to hire him and PSL would have to convince a LOT of employees as to why they’re keeping on Mike when he was nearly responsible for everyone losing their jobs.
Plus there’s still the issue of Rachel’s dad.
Yeah, your right. I mean, PSL has kept mike and or kept continuing certain things as business as usual when their backs were against the wall. So i still think they keep mike to not appear guilty.
As for mike being trustworthy again to clients. Yeah, i mean, the reality is, if he was legit, none of this would go to trial. I think depending on how the trial goes down, mike can come out as a victim of someone with a mission and vendetta, or as someone who got off, but is likely still guilty of the crime.
If louis ex girl does actually leave the country, they have a much better case. I love the dialogue between louis and her. When he was like, you said i cant expect you to lie for me, so when harvey ask me about our relationship, dont expect me to lie for you.
Hence why louis was right from the beginning. The she should have came to him first about all of this, before she wrapped herself into a world she isnt prepared for, and a war she doesnt wanna be involved in.
I get the feeling that Rachel will once again be cornered into testifying and Mike and Rachel might have an impromptu marriage in order to prevent her testifying. Of course this decision would be contested as it would look like an admission of guilt but this is Suits.
Scottie looks kinda frail now. I have a feeling she’s been too much of kale drinking gym rat.
Odd how a fake trial will lead to the REAL Mike vs Harvey legal battle we’ve all wanted to see.
All the prosecuted has to do is get the Dean of Mike’s undergrad to testify about the expulsion. What can Mike do about that?
Nothing but he won’t need to as they’re not contesting that he did the LSAT thing or got expelled from college. If it were that simple this would be an open and shut case.
You need to get a bachelor’s degree before applying to Harvard. He can’t do that if he got expelled. I don’t recall them giving him a fake bachelor’s either.
Plus, there’s the Harvard side. Show that Harvard has no record of tuition for a Mike Ross. Where is his application? Who interviewed him? Sheila can’t be the only person/thing Anita Gibbs can subpoena from Harvard.
As Harvard isn’t directly responsible, she actually can’t subpeona anyone who isn’t volunteered either by the defense or the person themselves. That’s why she only went after Sheila. That’s why she didn’t simply just pick out everyone in his supposed class and ask if they saw him or not.
There’s also one other part. The fact that Anita Gibbs doesn’t WANT the trial to end right away. She wants to drag everyone’s name through the mud until they flip on Harvey and Jessica. She doesn’t care about Mike, she probably could end this trial right away if she wanted. She’s choosing to take the more personal, asshole path in order to force someone to flip.
i doubt people who interview that many students would remember them unless they are uniquely gifted in some way. lewis’s girlfriend is a nutjob and just uber good at her job but in general most people who work in those kinds of positions aren’t like that.
application, tuition,money trails, based on mike’s childhood he probably woulda been offered a scholorship and/or some kind of financial assistance.
That’s a kick in the nuts to start the episode…
Dammit mike. DAMMIT. GOD FUCKING DAMMIT. Someone shouldve called mike and told them their new revelation with the mistrial.
Next week is the season finale. No guesses from me on how this turns out. I’m all out of guesses. lol
Somebody is going to prison.
But watch it not be Mike or Harvey… Louis gonna take this L for everybody… AGAIN.
