Tip your favorite tailor an extra $20 and pour yourself a glass of expensive scotch because USA’s Suits is back!
Four long months ago, the first half of Season 6 concluded with the end of Pearson Specter Litt as we know it. Jessica Pearson (Gina Torres), the rock of the firm/series, is off to Chicago to start a new life with Jeff Malone (D.B. Woodside). In her wake, Harvey (Gabriel Macht), Louis (Rick Hoffman), and Mike (Patrick J. Adams), who recently cashed in his Get Out of Jail Free card, are left with myriad problems of both the personal and professional variety. How will everyone adjust to life without Jessica’s sage wisdom? Who will lead the firm? What the hell is going on with Harvey and Donna? We’ll answer those questions and a whole lot more.
If you need to catch up on Suits before tonight’s return, this Season 6 cheat sheet is tailor-made for you!
What is the status of Donna and Harvey?
Fans hoping that Donna (Sarah Rafferty) and Harvey would finally have a little less conversation and a little more action were offered a bit of hope with the last scene of the fall finale. Devastated by Jessica’s departure, the normally emotionally-reticent Harvey accepts Donna’s offer of comfort as the season concludes with everybody’s favorite will they/won’t they couple holding hands. What does this mean for their future?
“We do not forget that that scene took place,”executive producer Aaron Korsh told TVLine. “We follow through on it. It will have its impact and consequences on the both of them.”
Where will Mike Ross work?
He probably shouldn’t lead with “pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit fraud for illegally practicing law” on his resume. In the finale, Harvey offers Mike a job at the firm as a consultant; a position Mike evidently declines.
During a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Patrick J. Adams spoke about his character entering the job market.
“He’s making the rounds, doing some soul searching, and figuring out where he fits best,” Adams said, before adding, “the law will [eventually] pull him back. It always does.”
Wait, are Mike and Rachel married?
They are not. The two planned to wed before Mike went to prison, but the ceremony was called off in the Season 5 finale “25th Hour.” Mike and Rachel’s current status? Happily engaged!
Speaking of engagements, what’s going on with Louis and Tara?
That’s right! Louis and Tara are also engaged! Their relationship, however, isn’t devoid of complications. Tara is pregnant, and Louis is not the father. But Mr. Litt’s love for Tara and his desire to start a family led to this touching proposal during the summer finale.
Will Meghan Markle’s real-life boyfriend Prince Harry make a guest appearance this season?
Yes. He’ll be playing Dallas, a diabolical hedge fund manager harboring a sinister secret.
Just kidding. But that would be incredible.
Who will lead the law firm formally known as Pearson Specter Litt?
Probably Harvey but maybe Louis? Don’t forget that Mike’s arrest resulted in a mass exodus of employees and clients that severely crippled the financial solvency of the firm. Also, it’s worth noting that Robert Zane offered to merge his own firm with Pearson Specter Litt during the summer finale, which could definitely be revisited in the last six episodes of the season.
Will Jessica ever return to Suits?
Sounds like it! While we don’t know the when or why, Torres unequivocally stated after the summer finale that we haven’t seen the last of Jessica Pearson.
“I don’t believe for one second it’s the last we’ll see of Jessica Pearson,” Torres said in a statement. “Not. For. One. Second. And don’t you either.”
Finally, have you heard anything regarding the caliber of suits the cast will be wearing for the remainder of the season?
Two words, friend: sartorial elegance.
Suits returns tonight at 10:00 P.M. Eastern on USA.
