Uh oh, is it just me, or does Donna not look very happy in this photo? If Esther's secret about sleeping with Harvey comes out this week, Donna's going to be in a precarious position. She might feel hurt and betrayed by Harvey, but she'll also have to decide whether to play referee between him and Louis when they no doubt come to blows.
This week will mark the seventh episode that Donna has spent as Louis assistant. We admit, that's longer than we anticipated the move lasting, and we're beginning to think it might actually be a permanent thing. Donna and Louis might not have the same ring to it as Donna and Harvey, but you've got to admit you'd hate to see Louis lose Donna after growing so attached.
Rachel and Louis always make a great team, and we can't help but think that they'll be even more of a legal powerhouse now that Louis is determined to be a better man and leave the pettiness behind. Nothing can stop these two now if Louis can just manage to keep a lid on his insecurity issues for a while.
Do we think Esther is back for more mediation on her divorce? Not very likely, considering Louis is sitting in on the meetings and she was firmly against him having a hand in her legal matters the last time she came to visit. Whatever it is, let's hope Rachel doesn't get caught in the middle of any family feuding!
Look who's back! It's Esther Edelstein, Louis' flawless little sister. Everyone looks mighty happy in this particular photo (I wonder who they're greeting with such confident smiles?) but something tells me it won't stay that way for long. Once Louis finds out about Harvey's tryst with Esther, the gloves might come off.
If we could ask for one thing next episode, it would probably be another peek into Grechen's life. You can't just give us this flawless new character without going into more detail! That small peek into Gretchen's experience with panic attacks was the perfect way to solidify her bond with Harvey, while also informing the audience about who Gretchen is as a person.
One of the best new relationships to come out of this season has been the one between Gretchen and Harvey. Without Donna, we were worried Harvey might fall apart (she managed his life with perfection and precision after all). But Gretchen has stepped up to the task, and she's proving to be every bit the sassy assistant Donna ever was.
Jessica sure is doing a lot of thinking in these photos, but we can't really blame her. After turning on Hardman not once but twice -- no matter how well deserved both coups were -- you have to wonder if she can win a fight with him a third time. Will she be able to pull a hat-trick on this one, or will the third time be the charm for Daniel Hardman?
This is what I like to call Jessica's 'angry smile.' Normally a smile means that someone is happy and carefree, but for Jessica, it's more of a sign that you're about to be in some big trouble. It's all in the eyes... The reason she's showing you all those teeth? The better to eat you with, my dear!
While Jack Soloff might be a formidable foe at the moment, you know he's nothing when compared with Daniel Hardman. And Jessica's threat to fire him from the firm last week might not be sitting well with him. Can Soloff be swayed over to Jessica's side, or is he Team Hardman all the way?
Now that we know Soloff has been in league with Hardman this whole time, you have to wonder if Jessica has been his main target all along. After all, Hardman might have a bone to pick with Harvey and Louis, but Jessica was, and forever will be, the opponent that he considers most worthy.
With Daniel Hardman back -- and no doubt eager for blood after being ousted from his own firm in Season 2 -- Jessica might need to be ready to do battle. Hardman has a smiles and sweetness exterior with a pure evil gooey center, which is the hardest kind of enemy to predict. Let's hope Jessica has a plan!
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.
