TV commentary:
Suits- Seriously, with these people. So British Harvey screws up royally by going after Ava's number two's family. So he's tanking the company just to spite her, while she would rather rot than give up control. So, Harvey goes to Jessica to fix it. Ava's number two will get to own Hessington Oil (which is what he really wants), while Ava still gets to control it. Jessica convinces her to let go of her pride by using her own example from last year of going to the Spider for help against Gale Botticher, to know when to make a deal like that if she can stay standing in the end. Plus, who's to say they can't get Ava out of this deal later. So, with the hatchet buried between Cat Stark and Roan, the latter severs his deal with Gary Cole so the tape has to be thrown out. Not that he isn't still trying to get Ava for murder.
So, with Harvey forgoing his own pride and asking Jessica for help, she's happy that she and Harvey are back on good terms, and say she will finally put Harvey's name on the door. Only paranoid Harvey thinks its some sort of move and is all accusatory. Which is what frustrates me so much about this show. I'm thinking she's being sincere, but everyone is so g-d manipulative and tricksy on this show, I don't know.
Surprisingly, when Harvey finds out about Donna and Stephen, it seems like its no big deal. Of course, when the boys get into a big blow up over the screw up with Ava's case, Stephen does throw it in Harvey's face, pissing Donna off. He's apologetic about it later, so she goes back to effing him. Per Louis demand! Ha, he's totally unaware that she's screwing Stephen, but he notices she has a nice glow about her and keeps insisting she continue what she's doing.
Since Harvey was working with Stephen on Ava's case (because of a bet Stephen made), Mike is working an embezzlement case, and co-opts Rachel to be the Mike to his Harvey. They win, but along the way, Mike finds out Rachel was thinking of going to Stanford for law school during dinner with her parents (which does actually go fine, they seem to like him, no danger of them discovering his secret). So he's upset she didn't tell him and even more worried when she convinces the lady they were working on to break the case by telling her "the worry of (her husband) getting caught will put a shadow on their relationshp", making him wonder if that's the way she feels.
Royal Pains- Really, now they're doing this too? First with the Hank getting addicted to pain killers, now Paige is starting to get jealous of Divya and Evan's friendship? I know the show started with it seeming like they were gonna pair Evan and Divya, but I like Paige. They better not break them up and go back to Evan and Divya. Besides they seem more siblings now, so I would think Paige shouldn't be jealous.
And what the eff?! Did we really need to see Hank inject the CotW in the eye and effin cut open his eye lid? Its like I know, lets show a guy who's prone to sudden giggling fits have a doctor near his eyeballs with really sharp objects, that's entertaining. Also, the cgi with the cars was off, like it doesn't seem like Hank and him would've physically been able to get out of the way of the first car in time! I know its fictional, but way to give me a heart attack, show!
