Suits Season 2

I was slightly disappointed in the finale, I was looking forward to seeing how the change in leadership at the firm worked out. I was also trying to remember if that Tess girl had been on the show....nope. For a few seconds I thought it was Jessica coming back.

What a fantastic first half of the season (just all caught up). The last one left a bit to be desired, but I still enjoyed it. To be honest I'm glad that they brought it a bit closer to the status quo with Jessica and Harvey in charge.

But seriously, the fuck is Mike doing going to his ex when it's pretty obvious that something is about to go down with Rachel in like 2 secs? I know they want to keep the whole Mike/Rachel thing going on longer, but it seemed illogical/forced.

Hardman as the boss—with Jessica and Harvey fighting for their place, both against him and against Louis—feels like it was worth more than the 15 minutes of story allotment it receives. Sure, watching Jessica and Harvey “win” is at the heart of the show but, for a little while, it might have been interesting to see them play from the back of the pack.

Yeah this was what I was expecting during the first half of the episode, and I wouldn't have minded if they explored it more, but I'm also fine with the status quo, as I said.

The presence of a previously unmentioned childhood girlfriend—a first love named Tess—is just awkward, an obviously plot-driven obstacle put there so the show could stall Mike and Rachel’s inevitable reunion. Mike and Rachel simply aren’t an epic enough love story for the endless will-they-or-won’t-they device to work, and it definitely didn’t work here.
The worst thing is, Mike’s story doesn’t need it. Patrick J. Adams does wonderful work tonight, hitting all the right emotional beats—from denial to anger to utter desolation. To muddy this up with a love triangle for no logical reason other than to get to a predetermined end point isn’t great storytelling. Mike going into a downward spiral after his Grammy’s death is a worthy story arc—and it just might play out that way in future episodes—but in the context of this finale only, it’s pretty much a failure.

Completely agree with this, as I said, it just seemed odd and was clearly just a plot device to keep Mike and Rachel apart for a bit longer.

Mike and Harvey getting high together is a special pleasure to watch. I would like a web series called Harvey And Mike Smoke Pot, Eat Snacks, And Talk About Their Sad Lives, please.

Co-sign to the enth degree. I loved that/those scene(s). When Harvey asked if the weed came from the coffee guy I was like, whaaaaaa. You sly dog you.
