'Suits' Season 5 Episode 7 Recap: Trust Issues Are "Hitting Home", As Harvey And Louis Finally Come To Blows!
Mia Lopez This "Suits" season 5 episode 7 recap titled "Hitting Home" picks up in Dr. Agard's office where Harvey, apparently having kept his promise from last week's episode, is talking about the time he walked in on his mother getting dressed after "entertaining" a man she referred to as "Cousin Scott".
According to Entertainment Weekly, a flashback showed a young Harvey unable to understand fully what was going on. In fact, he believed his mother when she told him not to tell his father about what he just witnessed.
That opening scene let viewers in on the root of Harvey's trust issues, but the downside is, the session put Harvey on edge. It didn't help that Jack Soloff, Harvey's nemesis, was very much a part of the episode, seeing as he and Mike had to work on a case together.
Mike actually had a beef with Jack after he nearly ruined Mike's deal from last episode, but according to Celebrity Dirty Laundry's "Suits" season 5 episode 7 recap, Mike and Jack working together somehow turned for the better.
Apparently, Mike accused Jack of dirt dealing, but Jack revealed to him that he only did what was asked of him. Hence, throughout the course of their teamwork, Mike's opinion of Jack changed. Ultimately, the two came to respect each other. So much so that Jack even nominated Mike for Junior Partner.
However, viewers of "Suits" know that Mike's a fraud, and it wouldn't be right for Jessica to announce Mike's promotion and telling everyone he's from Harvard, when it's all a lie. Jessica and Mike were too caught up with their discussion that they weren't there to intervene between Harvey and Louis.
TV Fanatic said that Harvey and Louis finally came to blows, physical blows, that is, and it had something to do with Louis' sister, Esther.
Esther returned to the picture to ask Harvey's help in representing her and her case but Harvey turned her down. So Esther had no choice but to ask Louis for help.
A twist in Esther's case showed that she didn't trust her brother's ability to handle it, and it was revealed that it was a thorn in Louis' side - the fact that Esther always looked down on him.
Eventually, Louis and Rachel won Esther's case and they were on their way to a celebratory dinner. However, Esther just had to ask Harvey to go to dinner with them, which he rejects.
Louis notices Esther's dejected state, puts two and two together and came to the conclusion that something must have happened between his sister and Harvey. He confronted Harvey, and the fight became physical, with Louis ending up bloodied after falling on a glass table.
However, just before this "Suits" season 5 episode 7 recap ends, fans would have something to look forward to next episode. Apparently, Louis will press assault and battery charges against Harvey! How that ends, viewers will find out in episode 8.
