Suits "Normandy" Review: Revenge Is the Best Revenge

Suits S02E15: "Normandy"

YOU GUYS, I'm not ready for Season 2 to end. I feel like we just got back into the swing of things and now it's time to pack it all up just as Hardman finally gets the smackdown he so deliciously deserves. It looks like Mike and Rachel are making their way back to Bonerville, though, so maybe this IS a good time to quit. Harvard fizzled out like a failed science project, so Rachel has returned to being sad and unworthy. I know it would have been too happily-ever-after for Rachel to get into her dream school and the logistics of keeping the Rachel character involved with the firm when she's supposed to be stressing over finals in Boston would probably have stretched the limits of believability, but ugh, now what? More crying. More self-worth issues. More clinging to Mike for validation and probably sexytimes. It would be too much to ask for her to take Louis up on his offer to writer a letter of recommendation, right?

However, Rachel-related headaches aside, I like the position "Normandy" leaves us in as we head into next week's finale—Hardman is outdone, but Harvey still isn't slated to make partner. Not really. Not on his terms. Strapped for cash in the middle of Hardman's onslaught, Pearson-Hardman teamed up with Dana Scott's firm to bulk up their resources for a final stand. Unbeknownst to Harvey, that temporary pairing stood to become permanent once Hardman's name had finally been stripped from the lobby, and when Harvey learned the truth, he wasn't terribly thrilled with the possible arrangement.

Which begs the question: Is anyone, really? Outside of Dana, who was promised her name on the wall by her boss if the merger went through. And her boss, I guess, given his nifty reward for Dana's role in everything. Harvey's displeasure was a given, but I'm stuck on Jessica. Last week, it was all about how Pearson-Whatever is HER firm and SHE'S the boss and it's HER name on the door, etc. and so forth. Teaming up with Darby provided money when it was desperately needed and a convenient way to reveal Hardman's embezzlement without breaking the confidentiality agreement. I just kind of have a feeling Jessica was using Darby. What do you think?

For all the references to President Eisenhower's concentrated efforts on Normandy Beach in 1944—the inspiration for Pearson-Blahblah's attack on Hardman, and the episode's namesake—"Normandy" had a disjointed feel to the narrative. With 45 cases in need of attention and seven of them demanding immediate acknowledgement, Pearson-(insert name here) was buzzing like a beehive in mid-summer. Harvey took to the skies with Scottie, attempting to outsmart Hardman by focusing on the least obvious case first (and also having giggly Learjet sex, which I imagine is like banging in the penthouse of the Mile High Club). Back in New York, Mike and Katrina vied for Queen Bee Jessica's favor and things got nasty. OMG HATE U, KATRINA.

I was questioning that a few weeks ago: To hate or not to hate? I'm firmly on Team Hate. Girl was just obnoxious, and for as ham-fisted as her line about Rachel "just" being a paralegal was, it wasn't exactly out of character. Gross. I would have rather had Louis's anal-retentive wunderkind from earlier in this season. At least she was amusing in addition to insufferable.

Despite stealing each others' ideas all night long, Katrina and Mike managed to cobble together a strong case against Folsom Foods. Surprise! They really are gender-discriminating bastards! They lose. Hardman loses. All is well...

...except not really. Harvey is too pissed off about the impending merger to be happy about, you know, not losing his entire firm to the antichrist of law. Rachel isn't going to Harvard, so she's back to relying on Mike for purpose. I'm still having a hard time liking Jessica this season, and I don't know what to make of Scottie and her firm just benevolently sweeping in to throw money around like confetti. Hardman's story is apparently resolved, but all is far from quiet on the Western front and yes I know that book is about the first World War, not the second one.

At one point in all of this chaos, my fiance asked, "Does anyone still care that Mike never actually went to Harvard?" (He's been out of the loop this season.)

To which I replied, "Only during finales."

Mike hasn't had a lot of action during this second half of the season. I could be wrong, but I'm assuming a merger opens up the possibility to learn all kinds of dirty little secrets about each side of the union. Harvey is out to ruin the new marriage before the paperwork is even drawn up. Common sense tends to take a backseat to OMG PROTECT MIKE'S SECRET. Idk. I'm just spitballin' here.

– Katrina: "I'm a fifth year." Mike: "Well I work with Harvey." Me: "OMG hate u both."

– Is it over? Is it REALLY over? (Meaning Hardman.)

– I really like Louis. He's so used to taking one for the team that it's almost instinctual at this point. He didn't have shoulder the blame for Rachel's rejection, but it was sweet of him.

– I'm glad that Rachel wasn't rejected due to some revenge conspiracy concocted by Sheila to get back at Louis, but it kinda bothers me that this show constantly asks us to suspend disbelief to justify Mike's place at Pearson-Placeholder, accept that Harvey comes with a similar diamond-in-the-rough backstory, that the firm is staffed by all of these amazingly talented, brilliant people... and yet even though Rachel has kept up with them time and time again she's juuuuust short of being "good enough." Always. I'm all for realism on TV, but Rachel's run-of-the-mill rejection just sends a weird (crappy) message about her place on the show.

– That Meghan Markle PSA should have preceded the episode. It would have been hilarious. For the record, I agree with and support EVERYTHING she said. But still, hilarious. Once you deliberately acknowledge the parallels between the PSA and the episode at hand, you're in "Very Special Episode" territory, my friend.

Suits "Zane vs. Zane" Review: Daddy Issues

Suits S02E13: "Zane vs. Zane"

"Zane vs. Zane" felt like an early episode of Suits and I mean that in the good way. Things have (mostly) been smoothed over with Louis, Pearson Hardman fended off an attack from another firm and has slowly begun the process of healing in the aftermath of the Hardman debacle. We opened to Harvey and Mike shooting wastebasket hoops in Harvey's office, a prank war consumed Louis, Donna, and new girl Katrina for most of their storyline, and the majority of this week's drama and conflict manifested on a personal level between Rachel Zane and her father, played by guest-star Wendell Pierce (HI, BUNK!).

"Zane vs. Zane" was also a great episode for finally allowing Rachel to come into her own as a character beyond her role as Mike's dream girl. We knew that she came from a well-to-do family with lawyerin' blood in it, that there was some frustration on her family's part that she was "only" a paralegal. In "Zane vs. Zane" we learned that Robert Zane was a legendary partner at a competing firm... who had recently taken on a case against Harvey.

Rachel immediately asked for a spot on Harvey's team because she wanted to stick it to daddy. Mike was apprehensive because he knew what the point of this episode was going to be, but Harvey was firmly on Team Rachel because WINNING.

It went about as well as you'd think. The case in question was a gender discrimination suit against Folsom Foods on behalf of a woman who claimed that she was repeatedly passed up for a promotion purely because she had a vajayjay. Harvey decided to have Rachel in the room during Daddy Dearest's deposition of their client, Sloane Mosely, thinking Lawyer Bunk would ease off on the inquisition if his daughter was watching. Zane, however, was a professional, and he had a job to do, so he tore into Sloane and questioned her qualifications/life choices/hair color/what she had for breakfast—you get the idea. Rachel, less professionally, took it all to heart and moped.

Last week, Louis highlighted Harvey's inability to separate the personal from the professional and we got a little more of that this week with his willingness to use Rachel against her father. It's true that she asked him to do it, but that right there was a sort of line that, even though Rachel was willing to cross it, it might have been in Harvey's best interest to keep her from leaping over. Rather than unnerve Robert Zane and guarantee Pearson Hardman certain victory, the decision to pit him against Rachel enraged him and only made him work harder to screw Harvey and the firm—and their client by extension.

Negotiations crumbled to the point that the case was sent to trial and during the course of their research, Mike and Rachel uncovered another 113 women from Folsom Foods who were denied promotions. Their files all contained the same recurring coded words meant to cover up the fact that Folsom was indeed disqualifying female workers on the grounds of... being female. Classy! Undeterred, Papa Zane forged ahead and offered to merge with Pearson Hardman rather than take the mess to court. Jessica LOVED that idea. She loved it so much that she knowingly tied up a buttload of firm assets to handle the workload just to shove it in Zane's face. Zane passed the case on to... Daniel Hardman. And here I thought we'd put all that behind us.

Whatever, this is gonna be FUN. I've missed that smarmy bastard.

What did you think of Rachel's daddy woes?

– Donna Paulsen sass of the week: "I'm remembered fondly everywhere." <3 you.

– Louis's binder of himself photoshopped onto different presidents' heads was amazing and beautiful and I need to own it. NEED.

– "Speech #162: 14 Reasons Why I'm an Asshole." Lol.

– Are we supposed to like Katrina? I don't think I like Katrina, although watching her get the best of Louis was amazing. They're kind of awesome together in that they're both awful people.

– Donna was impressed that Louis knew who Zod was. I was more impressed that DONNA knew who Zod was and knew enough to be alarmed by the idea that Louis thought he was the Zod to Harvey's Superman... although when he put it like that, I was inclined to agree.

– Two episodes in a row full of merger/name-change talk. What do you think Pearson Hardman will be called by the end of the season?

Suits "Asterisk" Review: The (Ongoing) Importance of Being Louis

Suits S02E09: "Asterisk"

Getting Donna back ended up being the easiest of Harvey's missions in Suits' almost-finale, but it's a forgivable transgression considering all the turmoil Team Donna has been forced to wallow in over the past few weeks. Donna protested the implication of Louis's unfortunate line of questioning and claimed that she only loves Harvey as a "brother or cousin." Harvey handed her a bonus check and let her "fire" the floating temp, Cameron, and his color-coded abomination of a filing system.

What I am certain Harvey chalked up as a major victory at the time was unfortunately minor in comparison to the bigger war at hand. Hardman's latest move in his campaign against Jessica was to promote Louis to senior partner, essentially buying his vote in the ongoing Pearson-Hardman popularity contest. He followed the promotion up with the not-at-all-suspicious stipulation that Louis keep the good news to himself until after the upcoming partners meeting—the very meeting where the votes for either his or Jessica's superiority would be cast. The stipulation served possibly two purposes: The first was the episode's major concern, that Louis's allegiance could be bought, and the second was to give Hardman a means to punish Louis severely if he didn't come through with a vote in Hardman's favor. I won't be surprised if, despite all indications to the contrary, Louis ultimately votes for Jessica only to see Hardman take his promotion away.

Luckily, Donna was around to read between the lines and, based almost entirely on what kind of suit Louis was wearing, sussed out his pending promotion and what that meant for Jessica's chance to beat Hardman. Immediately following Louis's sweet and sincere apology for his offensive questioning during the mock trial weeks ago, Donna went to Jessica who, in turn, ordered Harvey to ensure that Louis voted in her favor. Harvey's answer to "Woo Louis" included giving his frenemy the number of his awesome tailor and treating him to a fancy dinner where he whipped out the paperwork from five years ago that Louis used to uncover Hardman's embezzlement...except this time, Harvey left the names uncensored. While Louis was hurt and outraged that Hardman had set him up to be the fall guy all those years ago, he was equally, if not more, disturbed by Harvey's actions and the realization that while Hardman had used him then, Jessica was using him now.

There's a member of my viewing party who just started watching Suits with me this season. It was at this point in "Asterisk" that he turned to me and asked, "So why am I supposed to cheer for Harvey and Jessica?"

"Because they're the good guys."

"They don't seem like the good guys."

The best defense of Harvey and Jessica that I could come up with was, "Satch the first season." I wouldn't say that I'm disappointed in them. I realize that they are in attack mode and a great deal of this season has revolved around the idea of the greater good and how moral people occasionally find themselves in positions where they have to do immoral or unpleasant things to benefit that greater idea.

However, their continued bewilderment whenever Louis is hesitant to jump on the Jessica bandwagon is starting to try my patience. They just aren't nice to him. They've never BEEN nice, respectful, or inclusive toward him. At best, Jessica can be counted on to force Harvey into something resembling civil interaction, but it's always followed up by a scene between the two of them later, lamenting Louis's personality, his very nature, and how they have no choice but to work with him because, well, he works hard, or he has powerful connections, or special skills, or an unwavering loyalty to his company that could easily be exploited.

While the right choice for the greater good of Pearson-Hardman is for Louis to vote for Jessica, it's not, at first glance, a good choice for Louis, and I don't fault him a bit for considering Hardman. Harvey and Jessica mistreated the odd, but loyal, dog for years and now question his aversion to them. Their inability to understand that makes them look alternately stupid and shallow.

When tossing dinner, suits, and even Harvey's office didn't seem to sway Louis's decision, Jessica fell back on her old standby: threats. Louis appeared un-phased. After all, if she was so certain of her victory, why bother courting Louis at all?

And yet, I'm not entirely convinced that Louis has sworn himself to Hardman. Despite Louis's outraged response to it, Harvey's information about Hardman's original fraud seemed to strike a nerve. Louis confronted Hardman, who promptly pulled out that old "I'm a changed man" defense.

Louis's vote is still very much on the fence. Which side of it do you think he'll land on?

"Asterisk" Photos

– Donna said that Harvey had only ever visited her apartment twice, "That God-awful dinner and the other time." Please Donna, tell us more about "the other time."

– FINALLY! Rachel scored a 172, which means she can go to law school. High five, girlfriend!

– Speaking of Rachel, I changed my mind and decided that she and Mike make a delightful couple, mostly because I feel like Suits' writers have worked hard to give her a personality outside of "nagging girlfriend" and actually made her awesome. So uh, have at it, kids.

– When he wasn't handling his case o' the week, Mike was shopping for a nice apartment for his grandma because thanks to his bonus from Harvey, he could afford to look for places close enough to the office that Sassy Grandma could maybe leave the nursing home. With Rachel's help, he found a beautiful place in his price range and left work early to make it absolutely perfect for his grandmother's arrival, only to answer the door to find a tearful Rachel explaining that the nursing home had called the office, that it was the only emergency number they had, and that Mike's grandma had passed away. I'm sure we'll see the full extent of the fallout next week, but in the meantime, who else was absolutely crushed by Mike's comment that she never even got to see the new apartment? And what do you think the death of Sassy Grandma, Mike's primary motivation for lying his way into Pearson-Hardman's ranks, means for Mike's future at the firm? Are we going to see some motivation problems in the future?

Suits' Season 2 Summer Finale: Stoned Cold

Suits S02E10: "High Noon"

When is a cliffhanger not a cliffhanger? When it involves Mike Ross's love life. It looks like the new girl, Tess, played by Elizabeth Hower of I Just Want my Pants Back fame, is, in fact, our new Jenny. The perpetual love triangle of Mike, Rachel, and Some Random Blonde from Mike's Past is restored.

The first half of Suits' second season was very Harvey-heavy with the Coastal Motors lawsuit, the battle with Hardman, and the drama with Donna. While I welcome an increased focus on Mike, who has largely worked behind the scenes to support Harvey and Jessica, I'm disappointed in the implication that much of that focus is going to hinge on who he's sleeping with. We did this last season and it sucked.

However, when it comes to Mike's storyline, killing off Sassy Grandma was a gutsy move. Mike pointed out at her funeral that Sassy Grandma was his entire family. He didn't feel like an orphan when his parents were killed, but with the death of his grandmother, his last living relative, he understood what that feeling felt like. Her death forces Mike to reinvent himself and while the love triangle aspect of Mike's upcoming storyline makes me want to scream, the idea of Mike being forced to reinvent himself without his trusty grandma compass is very appealing.

And then there's Harvey. The Pearson-Hardman popularity contest was wrapped up quickly in the opening scenes of "High Noon." Hardman won. His victory was expected and I was certain that his tenure would last at least through the second half of the season, with Harvey's story continuing to revolve around his place as Jessica's right-hand man. Perhaps they'd even strike out on their own and start a new firm Mad Men-style. Pearson-Specter has a nice ring to it, right?

Instead, Jessica was firm in her stance to remain at Pearson-Hardman and fight the good fight from within. Meanwhile, Hardman was firm in his own stance that Harvey needed to be fired. With a reluctant Louis at his beck and call, Hardman went about his campaign against Harvey with all the maturity and finesse of a third grader (sorry, third graders).

How To Get Rid of Harvey Specter (Mwahaha)
by Daniel Hardman, MANAGING PARTNER

1. Give his office away (make sure his new office is the size of a broom closet)
2. Take away exclusive access to wunderkind Mike Ross
3. Assign detailed financial cases that bore Harvey to death
4. Take away access to ANY associates, yes, even Harold
5. Make him pee in a cup

And honestly, it was almost the drug test that did him in. Despite his adamant demand that Mike refrain from getting all toked up as an associate, Harvey let that one slide for one night only when he showed up to make Mike feel better about his grandma. Those two are some of the more energetic potheads I've seen, then they had to go kill the moon by talking about family and feelings and other things that can ruin a perfectly good buzz. Harvey's dad was a sax player (hence the vinyl collection that makes me see green) and his mom was a groupie whom he caught cheating when he was 16. Ouch. Mike imagined the delightful horror that would be Harvey Specter's offspring, complete with designer threads and smug attitudes.

They decided to go pee in Hardman's office, but when they arrived at the building, Harvey had a change of heart and offered to let Mike in on the secret of the can opener ritual that he shares with Donna. It was a touching gesture considering Mike's earlier lamentations about being alone in the world with no family. Blah blah blah family isn't always blood blah blah, right? The family that you choose to be in can be just as strong and powerful as the one you are born into. Take, for example, Louis's exclusion when Donna, Harvey, Mike, Jessica and the others celebrated Hardman's removal from the firm. At one time, Louis would have most likely been invited to join in the festivities. However, after his recent actions, voting against Jessica and assisting in Harvey's almost-firing, he realized that he would be unwelcome. Due to his betrayal, he no longer had a place in that particular family.

There was a small victory for Louis though. He DID get to keep his Senior Partner title and all of the status and perks that go with it. Yay! He also appeared to understand where his moral compass had failed him, and began to work his way back into the inner circle at Pearson-Hardman. Despite his rivalry with Harvey, hatred would be too strong of a word to use to describe his attitude. Though he voted for Hardman in place of Jessica, it was very much a gesture of quid pro quo. He was repaying Hardman for his promotion. Once Hardman turned to him with a mission to remove Harvey completely from the firm, his loyalty wavered because it wasn't real. It was a business transaction.

Louis looks out for Louis, but the thing that differentiates him from Hardman is that Louis is reluctant to harm other people in his schemes. This is the sort of trait that reminds us that Louis SHOULD have a place among the "good guys" at Pearson-Hardman, he just has to prove it to his peers again.

And so the quest for the can opener led the very high and drunk Mike and Harvey to Harvey's closet-office where Louis was still in henchman mode and smelled the weed on Harvey and Mike. While still in henchman mode, he took his information to Hardman, who ordered the drug test knowing that Harvey would certainly fail.

Luckily, Mike and Harvey utilized the supposed higher thinking associated with smoking weed to come up with a crazy conspiracy theory in which Hardman planted the memo that got Donna fired and Pearson-Hardman sued all in an effort to take back his position in the firm and throw Harvey out on the street. Crazy talk, right?

Not so much. For one thing, "Donna doesn't make mistakes" and for another, Tanner actually admitted that the memo was a fake after losing a boxing match to Harvey. He refused to testify as much, but the private confirmation was at least enough for Harvey and Mike to work with, faking the amount of evidence they had to make Hardman implicate himself in front of the other partners. It should be noted that while he didn't vote to fire Harvey, Louis DID vote to fire Hardman when the opportunity arose.

Of course, Hardman couldn't leave quietly. He got one last jab in with Jessica, cryptically telling her that the story wasn't done, implying that Harvey would one day turn on her. "One day" as in...later this season? Do we hope? It'll be intense, man.

What are your thoughts about the "end" of the Daniel Hardman reign? What do you hope to see when Suits returns?

Here's what I would like to see:

1. More law-school Rachel, less love-sick Rachel.

2. So basically, Mike and Harvey combated a fake memo with a fake injunction? That can't possibly backfire later on, right? Like, say when someone looks at that name that was actually signed? I feel like someone has to double check the signature just because Mike said no one would. Chekhov's gun and all.

3.. More clarification on where Donna and Harvey actually stand. She's back to fiercely loyal mode, and that's awesome, but it also feels a little too neat and convenient considering the turmoil their unique relationship caused just a few episodes ago.

4.. I totally dug the more inclusive feel of the storylines in this half of the season. It seemed like everybody got some quality screen time with interesting, compelling stories. Keep doing that, please.

5.. Mike being an adult, finding direction, really coming into his own. No more crash-and-burn Mike. I thought we would go there during the mid-season finale with all the drinking and the smoking and the ANGST, but we didn't and I'm okay with that.

6. I don't think we learned enough about Tess for me to have a concrete opinion of her either way. I'm really just over the love triangle crap. Like, I really do not care. At all.

What about you?
