First Disappointment and Then Elation
Hitchcoc23 July 2023
This episode proceeds to the settlement and issue with Harvey. However, on the way, we get an education in how all the principals came to the firm, and how Mike ended up taking the LSAT for other would be lawyers. We see more about Trevor and his weed business.
We see how Rachel came into the firm. How Hardman embezzled funds and used them to cheat on his dying wife. We see Harvey's hard edge. The time he got news that his father had died and how he handled that. And Hardman's betrayal of Jessica which doesn't go so well. At first I was disappointed by the flashbacks--then realized that they are great in tying some significant things together.

Innovative Masterclass In Character Development

Warning: Spoilers
3 years since I first watched this episode, it has aged like fine wine. The Hardman Jessica feud had history that predated the show, and while most series's would've likely glossed over the details in a present day conversation, Suits exceptionally details the history with some amazing flashbacks, which intertwine perfectly with the present day scenes.
These flashbacks are executed beautifully and add layers and rich detail to the current plot in which a conversation wouldn't have managed to do as effectively, making the plot even more engaging. But not only this, so much more depth is added to the characters through the flashbacks, particularly Harvey, Mike, Jessica, Hardman and Trevor. One common theme that they all shared is that they'll all do anything to reach their goal - even if it means crossing the line. Having this much depth added to characters again makes us care much more about them, adds to the anticipation of what might happen and almost assists us in choosing a side in the upcoming war. I've don't think I've ever seen such an effective use of flashbacks, potentially in The Sopranos episode "Down Neck", but either way an absolute masterclass in deeply layering the plot and characters via flashbacks, something I wish more shows would do.
+ Mike secretly whispering "I love you" to Jenny exactly how he did to Rachel earlier on in the season was a great touch.
