SUITS – S05xEp12 -Live To Fight

Donna has always been one of the best characters on the show and her scenes with Gibbs made me love her even more. She was to the point with Gibbs and even Harvey.

From the moment Mike was arrested during the final moments of the summer finale, the biggest question Suits fans had was who turned him in? There were many suspects on the list, but odds are good few (if any) of those lists included Sheila Sazs. Now that we know Sheila’s responsible, there’s no longer a lingering question hanging over here. What remains going forward is merely the fact of the main problem at hand: how can Harvey get his protégé out of this? and by knowing who turned Mike in, Ms. Gibbs now has a tangible piece of evidence to build her case upon. Real, potentially undeniable proof Mike never went to Harvard. We may have thought this reveal wouldn’t come for another 4-5 weeks, but in hindsight, it makes complete sense for it to come now.

It’s not all that surprising that everyone was starting to turn on each other. Mike’s lie could cost them all their career and even their freedom. Harvey is probably wishing he could relive that day again right about now.

Louis had the one light moment in this episode and it was needed. Gretchen playing him at the beginning and getting the day off was funny. Even from the grave Norma comes back to haunt Louis one more time. The rest of Louis’s part in this episode I mostly covered above while discussing Shelia. I did have a pang of sympathy for Louis when he looked so done and told Mike he couldn’t help him anymore right then but like I said, he made the choice to cover for Mike.

Rachel is going to have to toughen up a little if she really wants to be a lawyer. Anita Gibbs has just barely started to apply pressure and she’s already a wreck. She has to keep it together and I don’t know if she can. She’s terrified, I get it but going into the bathroom and projecting all her fears on Donna wasn’t the smartest of moves. Mike is nervous about her, as seen in their bedroom at the beginning of the episode. Donna is nervous about her and who wouldn’t be after that bathroom scene?
