Rachel makes a mistake, Louis makes a bigger one and the Gillis takeover is finally complete. So who won? Check out our Suits season 4, episode 6 recap!
It’s the 50th episode of Suits but tonight’s episode, “Litt the Hell Up” wasn’t exactly a celebratory party for the characters.
The episode begins with Louis happily passing out his Litt Up mugs to everyone in the office. These are conveniently a real product that you can buy in the NBC store.
In a continuation of last week’s story line, Mike is worried Jonathan knows about Mike’s deal with Forstman to cut Sidwell out of the picture. Jonathan, however, has recently spoke to the SEC and has bigger concerns. Why was Mike sharing a dinner with Harvey behind his back? He explains Rachel’s hospital stay and Jonathan is almost too understanding.
In a flashback, Rachel and Logan sneak around the library at Pearson Specter (or Pearson Hardman, at the time). Rachel has a devil’s glint in her eyes – a mischievous look we don’t see from her nowadays – as she sensually kisses Logan’s neck, pushing them into the ‘more-than-friends’ territory.
Back to the present day, Rachel shows up at Logan’s apartment, ready to set the record straight about their relationship. But Logan starts kissing her neck in a mirror image of the previous scene and her resolve all but disappears – they start ravenously making out. Moments later, she thankfully comes to her senses and flies out the apartment, looking heartbroken over the complications she just created.
Later, Logan is brought into the SEC by Sean, questioning how, moments after Harvey and Mike have dinner together, Logan magically gets the shares from the Wexler sale.
Rachel lets it slip that something happened between Logan and her and Donna picks up on it immediately. She tells the truth to Donna – she kissed Logan – and breaks down. Donna, thankfully, doesn’t berate her for cheating on Mike, but simply consoles her.
Donna: “You are a great person who had a not-so-great moment.”
Meanwhile, Jessica is getting tired of the SEC and their antics. She gives one order to Harvey: end this thing with the SEC. The deeper they get into it with Sean, the more likely he will find the loose thread that pulls everything apart. Realizing they’re vulnerable, Jessica takes Louis to lunch, asking him to look over their recently purchased shares and close any holes he may find.
Harvey and Mike meet and Harvey asks for a financial figure Logan can pay to settle with Mike. But Mike fights back – the only way he will settle will be if he walks out of negations with control of Gillis Industries. And the battle wears on.
In an interesting scene, Harvey comes looking for an explanation about why Rachel spend 20 extra hours with Logan last week. Like a deer caught in headlights, she stammers out an explanation about him potentially being kicked out of his position in his company.
Rachel is terrified Logan will use their morning make-out as leverage – or worse – blackmail, to hold over her. He promises he would never do that, but does hope that she’ll realize she wants to be with him and not Mike.
Harvey, sick of Mike and Logan’s personal business getting in the way, goes to Charles Forstman himself to settle. He gives him the keys to the Aston Martin and tells Charles that he is going to buy Harvey out.
Rachel “needs to find the courage” to trust Mike enough to tell him about her kiss with Logan, even if Donna advises against it. As we know from next week’s promo: this will not end well.
As Harvey is walking out, he shows the last of his cards: he owns the Wexler shares. But, unbeknownst to him, Forstman bought the Wexler shares mere minutes before their conversation took place. The person who sold them? Louis Litt.
When Jonathan gives Mike the news about Forstman owning the shares it dawns on Mike that Sidwell Investment Group won. Mike proposes to Jonathan they team up with Forstman, giving him 100% of this deal with promises of the future ones.
Louis is a good foot solider, but he’s not a name partner. Once again, Harvey beats Louis down, telling him to “stay the hell out of [his] business.” Louis approaches Charles Forstman in a diner and promises Harvey Specter on a silver platter – if Louis can buy Charles out. The resentment Louis has felt bubbles over and out of the firm. Or does it?
Mike wants Charles to buy a controlling percentage of the Sidwell Interest Group. But Charles no longer cares – he sold the interest from the Gillis takeover to Logan and completely blindsiding Mike.
Charles offers Mike a job, but why would he take anything from the scheming sonofabitch? Because Mike is a “nobody” and doesn’t want to blow the biggest deal to ever come his way. Thankfully, Mike says ‘no’ and walks away.
Louis presents Harvey with the happiest news Harvey may have ever gotten from Louis. Louis lied to Forstman, saying he has Logan’s approval to buy the shares, knowing full well it’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission. But when Louis later reveals to Katrina what he is doing is illegal, he feels terrible. Forstman had asked he run the money through several international bank accounts, thereby evading the taxes on them. It’s all very illegal and will not end well, if Louis does not report it.
The other shoe drops when Mike walks into Jonathan’s office and he is not happy. He fires Mike, saying “there is no ‘we’” in their partnership anymore. Forstman is the root of all evil this episode – he told Jonathan about the deal that Mike had set up with him.
Well, Mike’s investment banking career lasted approximately six episodes. Will he return to Pearson Specter? He doesn’t look so great in the preview, a cut lip with a fight from Logan, perhaps?
Next week looks to be another explosive episode.
How will Mike react when he finds out about Logan and Rachel? Our guess? Not too well.
