While I'll always feel pity for Louis cause :teamlouis:, I felt worse for his fiance, whose name I can't remember. She's giving up her career to be with him and he wasn't willing to sacrifice to be with her v0v.

Also this tuition drama is a bullshit filler since her daddy is rich.

Didn't Rachel at some point distinctly say she didn't want to involve her dad and make it on her own or something?

Yes, whatever, it's dumb, but maybe it's consistent.

This episode had great Harvey faces though! The Louis hug and when he said he was exhibit A were funny as hell.

Well, to be fair, Louis agreed to the condition that Pearson-Hardman would pay for Rachel's law degree. :smugbert:

Throughout that scene I expected her to tell him that she doesn't want children because she's either post menopausal or because she's past the age where it's a healthy option for mother and child.

Finally caught up. Great episode. I really wonder if they will follow through with Mike taking this new job opportunity. If they do, it would probably be for 3-5 episodes max. (to open next season)

I'm just saying that it's not "Drama" because there's a very billowy and willing golden parachute if she didn't get any concessions from the firm.

Also, there are student loans and all sorts of other things if she didn't want help from her parents, she'd be in debt, but at her new salary upon getting her new position it'd be relatively stressless to finish paying off.

The "Drama" is from Louis's casual disregard of her, but we've always known he was an opportunistic backstabber at random times.

Yeah the tuition drama was weird. A loan would've solved it easily + bonus when she was finished instead of getting it now. :shrug:

Also I hated how she was so indirect with Louis and now hates him for no reason. How the hell would he know wtf she was talking about.

And it wouldn't even be asking them to PAY for law school, just pay for it NOW. I'm sure they'd work out a payment plan with little to no interest or something. That's what family does. They help out, especially if they're good for it.

There's no story
Mike's problem is a bit bizarre too considering how he can be very very wealthy at Pearson Spectre even if he doesn't have the title or recognition. Harvey will always compensate him as though he were holding a senior position if that's what his role eventually becomes.

His quip about there being no way down is even stupider since he could always go back to selling weed.

Well, he wants to be a lawyer, and have his work recognized. There's no way to do that given his situation. So he's sad. It's a legit issue for him.

Not drug dealers. Ironically, being acknowledged for that is what led to Mike getting his current job.

Also, Rachel is good enough to make Junior partner in ten years. Junior partners at Pearson make like 300k a year. If she just accepted money from her parents, she could pay them back by then. But they're her (rich) parents, so I doubt they'd even want the money back. They'd just be happy that she's successful.

Rachel is just acting like a dumb teenager. Walter White had the same mode of thinking and look how that turned out.

Mike won't ever be able to have any of his own clients or cases. If anything ever happens to Harvey he'll be an associate or out of a job. There's no job security or any where he could go. It's a pretty legitimate plot point and hopefully it won't be hand waived like a lot of other issues on the show.

It feels kinda like it's a mexican standoff with nuclear weapons. Mutual destruction.

She's at risk if someone finds out he's been working at her firm as a lawyer. She'd be sued to oblivion, her license removed, et cetera et cetera.

She'd be betting that Mike wouldn't want to give himself up to ruin her, and that might not be a sure thing. I could see her peeling him off and making him a consultant for stuff, maybe, if she had her way. I mean, I could be a consultant for legal things, so long as someone wanted to pay me for my lack of knowledge.

I think it's a pretty decent storyline, but I feel like dangling a job offer is the worst way they could have gone with it. The only logical conclusion is that Harvey shoots it down because a pre-employment background check would reveal that Mike doesn't have an undergraduate degree, which will result in Mike being a whiny shitheel like he always is.

Of course, since this is Suits, we'll instead get Mike angsting about this decision for the next two episodes. If he doesn't take it, there will be some stupid justification about how he'd rather be a fake lawyer and risk prison than go legit. If he takes it, typical USA status quo bullshit will result in him coming back to Pearson Specter because of ~loyalty~.

Mike already has full access to clients and has taken solo cases. As long as he doesn't sign off on anything, nothing bad should to happen to him even if Harvey goes down given how useful he is to the firm.

The 'Mike is a fake lawyer' is seriously the worst ongoing story line that the writers keep shoving back into our faces. It adds nothing to the show and this latest part about Mike never being able to receive recognition for his work because it will out him doesn't even make sense. Mike actively talks to clients and other lawyers and he's already beginning to build a reputation for himself both inside and outside the firm.
