Contains spoilers for Suits seasons 1-6.
Created by Aaron Korsh,Suits best moments are a product of the well-drawn characters and their relationships.
This scene is bookended by the later scene in which Mike threatens to blackmail Harvey if he fires him.
Impressed by his gumption, Harvey keeps him around and we get six seasons of a show.
Michaels grandmother dies (season 2, episode 9)
Someone kept calling the office for you… What makes it worse is that Mike spends his off-hours this episode finding her a new place to live.
Sadly, that is where he has to take the news that she has died.
The cut to a wide shot of Rachel holding Michael in the empty apartment is strong enough by itself.
Its a great example of the shows willingness to just let the drama play out naturally.
Mike and Rachel finally get together (season 2, episode 16)
What?
Well, that took long enough.
Under the gun, Mike finally tells Rachel that he never went to Harvard.
Elliott Stemple rolls over (season 3, episode 13)
Dont you look ready to rumble.
Harveys old nemesis from law school, Stemple is a diabolical lizard brain in human form.
The way he hisses defeat is extremely satisfying.
A wonderfully toxic character, he returns to plague Harvey and co. in season six.
Louis collapses in court (season 3, episode 14)
Mr Litt, are you okay?
Louis secretary dies (season 4, episode 16)
She was a battle axe!
After she dies, Louis is tasked with putting together her funeral arrangements.
Finally forced to confront his real feelings about Norma, it is a wonderfully humanising moment forSuits resident anti-hero.
Donna quits (season 4, episode 16)
This isnt working for me any more.
Its short, its brutal and it ends with Donna working for Louis.
Talk about rubbing salt in the wound!
you might almost hear Harveys brain exploding as he receives this one-two punch of bad news.
Mike is arrested for fraud (season 5, episode 16)
Its done…
Kudos to Aaron Korsh for not taking the blue pill on this one.
The episodes pivotal moment is Harveys confrontation with the jury foreman.
He reveals that the verdict would have been not guilty, making Mikes decision all the more depressing.
Korsh manages to make it feel like the end of something, and the beginning of something else.
Shes gone (season 6, episode 10)
You sure about this?
For awhile it feels like season five all over again.
And then Jessica Pearson strolls in like a boss and hits Gibbs where it hurts.
A fine send-off for Gina Torres, a clean slate for Mike and a fresh canvas for season seven.
