I must have spent every second scene going ‘Ooh, he/she’s right, there’ or ‘that’s a good point!’ so I was obviously into it. Oliver was the best conscience until he felt the need to fight for Mike. Dr Julius was the best witness, and would have been even if he hadn’t been played by Theo Huxtable – Gibbs really irked him! Both Mike and Rachel argued like good lawyers.
Louis also has amazing relationships with all the women he works with, or so it seems, although I could totally see why Tara wouldn’t want to deal with that behaviour on a personal basis.
Although it wasn’t important enough for the previouslies, The Donna worked as a macguffin for Louis, Louis’s relationship with Donna, Donna’s ambitions (and relationship with Harvey, yes I read so much into that episode that I was disappointed we got nothing after). So, it had emotional resonance.
Despite barely having watched the last six seasons, I could parse some of the excitement at Jessica saving the day with a different approach, and coming because Harvey asked her. I hadn’t clocked Gina Torres’s return because I glazed over the credits. The firm’s loyalty towards Mike, by which I mean the people in it, is huge. He obviously was going to come back, and after a brief period of weakness (why don’t they have an on-staff investigator a la The Good Wife?), it made sense for Mike to insist on Harvey taking Jessica’s place in the boss office. Things have changed! Mike and Harvey have changed! They’re all still smarmy, hard to approve of, but likeable so-and-sos.
In the spirit of sisterly solidarity from yesterday, I won’t mention what I thought of one outfit choice.
