Wilfred- Hey, Jenna is hot and all, but Ryan's insane for turning down Allison Mack's character.
Suits- Donna suggesting she and Rachel get drunk and hook up? I'd be up for the show going that direction! Although, seriously, what the hell was Mike thinking when he was helping Rachel with her profile. Its like gee, yeah, that will really make her think you're not interested! Particularly when you go that deep and sweet and poignant. How did he not expect her to show up later all, "What the eff?" Ah, but we finally find out why Jessica and Harvey don't like Hardeman. So, he was embezzling money from the firm, I think we had an inkling of that. But he had broken down and told them it was because his wife had cancer and he need the money to help her. But what he was really using the money for was a mistress!
Of course, its interesting because throughout the episode, Hardeman didn't really come off as an evil bad guy. He acts all innocent, and you could actually believe him, that he's changed and Harvey and Jessica are the ones with a vendetta!
It also weirds me out that this show makes no bones about them doing dickish things. I mean, they are supposed to be a law firm, but still. Most shows, they at least try to find some compromise, even if its some flight of fancy where "the good guys" win and the man is stuck to.
But last week there was the girl who wanted her recognition, who Harvey shot down, albeit because she got a little greedy when she learned her position. And this week, it seems like, hey these overworked nurses just want to not be overworked. I understand that his client really doesn't have the money (or a way to legally get to the money the nurses want) so he's trying to do what's best for everybody, because what the nurses want will put his client under, and the nurses will be out of jobs anyways. But another show would have the protagonist figure out some way to get the nurses the money. But nope, Harvey basically says, sorry, t-s, this is what you'll get nurses!
