Oh well. Here's to hoping that this is an elaborate plot from Rachel's dad who found out about this fraud thing by himself to really put the loyalty of Mike and Rachel to the test, as well as his lawyering skills, and to make sure that this thing never comes up again. Ever. But knowing the show, it will once again just have been Forstman doing it for the lulz. And Hardman/Soloff trying to get their name on the wall. Why does no one just spray their name as Grafitti on there? | ||

Also, I seem to be the only one on here that likes the "Mike's secret hanging over his head" plot line. Used and abused, but still effective as far as I'm concerned. It's probably the only way they have to create tension within the firm without introducing new characters. I hope they do introduce some more though, but I like this prosecutor, Harvey needs a worthy opponent. | ||

the mike's secret thing has been used a lot but this time something will actually happen to mike, which makes it a lot more interesting. as for the prosecutor, shes just gonna end up like every other 'worthy' opponent harvey has faced. rekt still going to be interesting to see how she gets rekt though, as i dont see the producers actually making mike and harvey lose for once | ||

Yeah I really liked the fact that the prosecutor was prepared to take the "good faith" letter of resignation and basically still try and screw over Harvey and Mike- she really wants to win. Reminds me a bit of how Travis Tanner wouldn't mind hitting below the belt or using whatever ammunition he had to be as opportunistic as possible. I also don't mind the Mike's Secret premise still being used, but I do hope that things change as more people find out (e.g., Robert Zane). | ||

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Sheila have hard evidence that Mike didn't go to harvard (if she knew to look for it)? There was a big arc about it but I don't remember the conclusion. Anyway if it's still there it seems like it wouldn't be difficult for the prosecutor to have access to it I forget exactly, but I think it was more of how Sheila knew Mike wasn't in her huge library database and how it was informally established that she knew everyone who ever ever ever applied to or went to Harvard. So I think legally I'm not sure if it could have held up (her word/ memory vs. the fact that his name is actually registered into the bar exam as passing, he has a diploma, etc.). | ||

Yet here we are, 40 minutes later, and he is back in business. At least Forstman will hopefully find out about that soon. Oh and Mike just protected Jessica by blackmailing Soloff harder than Forstman did to allow Harvey to come back. If Mike is proven innocent once and for all Jessica might take him back, even just to remove any leftover doubt. | ||

New episode was good. Damn, I've missed Suits so much, wondering how will the story with Mike/Rachel/Robert evolve. Can't wait for next EP ! #TeamDonna | ||

1a. Now Robert knows, and this *should* be a big deal. He doesn't seem like the kind of guy to be okay with Mike being a fraud, because of how it risks Rachel's well-being. He's expressed that (both to Mike and to Rachel) while Mike was being detained last episode. I hope it's not just a simple change of heart from Robert, that he easily accepts Mike back into the family. 1b. I think it should logically follow that if Mr. Zane knows, then Mrs. Zane should eventually find out as well. She's not quite as relevant a character as Robert is, right now, but she's still Rachel's mom. 2. According to Scottie, now *everyone* knows that Mike is being accused of fraud. I hope that this has recurring aftershocks in later episodes (once Mike is found not guilty) and affects other previously-solid relationships. 3. Harvey explicitly betrayed his deal with Forstman. For good reasons, but that'll make Forstman want to get him back even worse. 4. Mike formally picked a fight with Jack Soloff, by telling him that he'd drag Jack into the mud with him. Up until this Soloff/ Hardman issue, Jack has actually been pretty fond of Mike, and there were instances where Jack was actually trying to be a good guy (like when he told Hardman to fuck off). However, now Jack will probably be looking for more revenge (even though Jack technically started this whole thing by being an opportunistic jerk). I find him to be very similar to (earlier) Louis's character, but I don't think Jessica and Harvey and Mike are ever going to trust Jack (although to be fair, they still worry about Louis's opportunism too... like during this episode, when Jessica thought the "Make me Managing Partner" idea was a power play from Louis). 5. Donna is back with Harvey. 6. + Show Spoiler + Gretchen won't be leaving the Suits universe either As a complete aside, I miss Jenny. She wouldn't really fit into the current plot well at all, since Mike and Rachel are together for good and battling all odds together, but I miss her anyway. | ||

They will go to trial. - Prosecution won't be able to proof that he is not a lawyer beyond reasonable doubt. (Though how they pull that one of when they can literally question the whole Harvard class and noone will remember Mike's existence, I have no clue) - Since they will win the trial Mike can then practice law (by law he cannot be accused of being a fraud ever again, right?). - They'll also find some dirt on Soloff/Hardman/Forstman, so that Harvey can stay in the firm. If it goes down like this, it will be beyond stupid. But well, this show is not about realism, is it ;-) But still fun to watch. | ||

I think it'll go down like that as well, although I'm not sure how much the "free from Double Jeopardy" procedural defense encompasses in a fraud case like this. | ||
