    Civil War

    This is a tense and intriguing episode. Things are not going well at the firm. Because their problems have surfaced, clients are getting cold feet and leaving. Hardman is probably behind some of this, but another former ally is really at the root. Harvey has a huge fight with Louis and threatens him and casts more tension into the works. Jessica is getting fed up. Most of this episode features Louis, who considers seriously leaving the firm for one of their competitors. There are some great confrontations and some wonderful legal stuff here. Mike is beaten to a pulp by the husband of that woman he has been sleeping with. Harvey wants his name on the firm's entrance but it isn't that easy.

    Amazing performances

    Apart from the shiny, sleek look of the show, the captivating plot stories, what mostly drove me to watching 'Suits' are the actor performances.

    They are breathtaking to watch in their simplicity and naturalness. Watching this show has never felt like anyone was acting. For 40 minutes I forget I am watching something fictional and am under the impression it's real.

    There are so many proofs of that in this episode (and past ones as well). The ending scene alone was enough to make me hold my breath. Without needing any words it conveyed SO much emotion I was glued to the screen.

    I LOVE when a show manages to bring these type of performances to an already amazing array of positives it has going for it. Keep it up and you will get far 'Suits'

      The problems between Louis Lit and the DA (Katrina) that Harvey brought in are brought up. These problems do not occur until the following episode, Zane vs Zane. In fact, those two haven't even met yet in this episode.

      Louis Litt: [enters] You're fired.

      Harold Gunderson: Oh! You can't fire Mike!

      Louis Litt: *You." You moron. You can't even get your firing right.
