All we can think of when we see these two in a room together is the slap heard 'round the world. Hardman's little evidence tampering trick got Donna fired once upon a time, and we doubt she's been able to forgive and forget in his absence. Careful, Hardman. You might be in for another slap if you don't keep your distance.
Harvey doesn't have much to be happy about these days. Donna is still gone, Louis betrayed his trust, the partners might vote to suspend him, and his old nemesis, Daniel Hardman, is back to cause trouble. We'd be frowning too if we had a week like Harvey just had.
There sure is a lot of pressure weighing on Mike's mind right now, isn't there? First, his secret seems to be on the verge of coming out ever week these days. On top of that, Claire has got him doubting whether or not marrying Rachel is the best thing for her, and now Hardman's latest attack? That's a lot for one man to handle.
Now that Hardman has publicly declared war on Pearson Specter Litt, Mike and Harvey have decided to team up to find out who is backing Hardman in this hostile take over. After all, you don't go to war with three of the most powerful attorneys in New York City without a major player on your team!
We considered a few weeks ago that Rachel might be hiding a pregnancy from Mike after she reacted to visibly to his mention of children. Those theories might have all been for nothing since Rachel appears to be enjoying a nice bottle of wine, something that writers are often pretty careful about when they're trying to keep baby news under wraps. Looks like there is no bun in Rachel's oven yet!
Nothing brings mothers and daughters closer together – or tears them further apart – than the process of planning a wedding. With so much already on Rachel's plate, it might be nice to have a micro-managing mother to handle all the wedding details. But we doubt it.
Introducing... Laura Zane! Rachel's mother will be played by the beautiful and talented Megan Gallagher this week! Together, Rachel and her mother will begin planning for her wedding, but their plans might be in vain. After Mike's conversation with Claire last week, he's definitely having second thoughts about marrying the love of his life.
This doesn't seem like the face of a woman afraid for her job or her firm, that's for sure! But as we've noted before, Jessica's smile usually hides many things. Disdain, anger, annoyance, and even panic. Do you think Jessica is panicking a little now that Daniel Hardman is back to make a mess of her office?
Remember when this little old law firm used to be called Pearson Hardman. Ah, yes, the good old days when no one new Mike's secret and there were no power struggles or coups. Now that Hardman is back on the scene, it looks like's he's out for blood. Specifically, Jessica's blood!
For future reference, Donna and the Dictaphone would make a great band name. Just saying. But what could Donna be up to with Louis' dictaphone this week? Maybe reminding him of better times with Harvey? Or playing back a message he needs to hear? Whatever is on that dictaphone, let's hope it helps get Harvey out of this mess.
We've lost count of how many times Donna has gotten herself stuck in the middle of Louis and Harvey's squabbling, but could this fight be the one that leaves her all alone? If she refuses to pick a side, she could lose both Harvey and Louis in one fell swoop. Maybe she could go be Jessica's secretary instead?
Rachel: I just watched the man that I love go to prison so that none of you have to and it hasn't been five minutes and you're already ripping each other apart. Harvey: Rachel. Rachel: Let me finish. I thought I wanted to be alone tonight and then I realized that I didn't because I wanted to be with my family. If you can't keep it together tonight, of all nights, then as far as I'm concerned you can all rot in hell.
