If she had actually been a character for the last season instead of a living appendage to Louis we might have. :colbert:

"I COULDN'T have slept with her this time because the LAST time I did my dick fell off!"

I still say she collapsed because she was pregnant. I can believe that because the writers on the show are absolutely terrible with regard to her character story.

Given that this is USA, I'd almost be willing to bet that Louis will be back somehow either at the season finale, or within the first 1-2 eps of next season.

Unless this whole thing was a ploy because the actor moved on to bigger and better things, which has been known to happen.

Yeah next week's episode is the summer finale, and I'd be pretty surprised if the cliffhanger wasn't some variation of "We're completely hosed. There's only one man who could get us out of this jam..."

That or the first episode after the summer break they get into a lawsuit or merger or something with whatever company Louis is now working for.

Yeah, if there's anything Suits reliably does, it's tease a major change and then get us back to status quo ante within a handful of episodes. I was honestly surprised Mike stayed away from the firm as long as he did this season.

I don't care that the writing in this show is pretty sub-par - I view it as another sort of soap opera. Things are going to be incredibly over dramatic and that's okay. We're not watching a show that's trying to be Breaking Bad or The Sopranos, we're watching a show where the premise is that an unlicensed lawyer kicks rear end and is tolerated/accepted/respected by the absolute best lawyers in New York City. The entire premise of the show is loving ridiculous and it's great because of that. None of this would ever happen in real life, and that's the primary reason why I watch and continue to love this show. I don't watch TV shows to see what would happen in real life; I watch to suspend disbelief in the pursuit of watching events unfold that would never be able to occur in the real world.

The writing in the show's fine except for the goddamn useless Mike/Rachel romance shenanigans. That's actually really bad.

I don't think anyone has expressed frustration with any of the other plot or story aspects regardless how unlikely they may be. I mean, Louis Litt just walked away with an extra million in his account that apparently Cahill won't go after. Doesn't bother me one bit.

I dunno, the way everyone acts towards money in this show makes me think a million dollars isn't that big of a deal to anyone. In one of the first episodes, Harvey is walking around with a check of half a million in his pocket to become a senior partner. And Mike was ready to walk away from a million dollar signing bonus with Forcemann. Louis ending up with an extra million he doesn't even want to spend doesn't seem like much of a consolation prize. Unless he blows the whole ill-gotten gain on getting Sheila back.

A million probably isn't that much to Louis because he's a Senior Partner and gets profit sharing, while Mike is still an Associate and would just get a regular paycheck. I'm sure it's sizable considering he was able to buy that nice apartment in NYC but a million bucks is still a lot of money to him.

O god, that whole part with the Rachel and buying daily burgers in the hope Mike would return :psyduck:. Mike, go post that poo poo in E/N and get told to loving sever already, christ.

This episode had some really good Louis, that little crack in the voice at the end.

I'm glad they did it that way really. I'm really digging Neal McDonough. He felt like a proper challenge for the firm the whole way and I didn't want to see him lose against Harvey & Co, so this solution worked to uphold his image as bad-rear end and actual challenge for Pearson-Specter.

Yeah, if that's the end of that SEC drama I'm fine with that as the arc's end. Nothing got resolved, but the adventure was there, and maybe they can go after Forster and his big business buds next season. That's why they need Louis - nobody does the books better'n him.

That whole burrito scene was amazingly cringeworthy. It was like kicking a dog and immediately rushing over to it where it ran in order to pet it and feed it treats in the hope it will forgive you. Or punching someone and trying to distract them from crying by making funny faces and sounds to have them laugh so you don't get in trouble.

It felt like such an unhealthy and unstable scene for two adults.

The same character that had the balls to ask Jessica to pay for her law school and told Mike the freaking episode before this to get over it and come home is immediately back into anxious teenager mode. I can't believe her character was somehow less offensive when all the writers had her do was walk around in the background of episodes and be eye candy.

Associates still get a %, its just waaaay smaller than other peoples. That's where he got the money for the apartment for his grandmother.

Yeah but that (and probably most of his paychecks for the first couple of seasons) went to getting his grandmother into a good nursing home.

Unless you mean later, then yeah, I believe there was another scene not that long ago where Harvey gave him some crazy amount for a bonus.
