Suits: Season 1, Episode 6 “Tricks of the Trade” (B+)
For a lawyer with a strong reputation for success, Harvey seems to go after his clients in a rather manipulative way almost as often as he tries cases for them. In this case, it wasn’t his idea and he needed plenty of motivation from do-gooder Mike, who messed up initially be letting Gabby get away while he went to go get her a class of water. I enjoyed Mike’s tough-guy act when he posed as an agent of the Department of Justice, adding in some basketball advice for Bradley, and I was amused by his subsequent promise to Harvey not to impersonate a federal agent again. Mike’s superb memory served him extraordinarily well in the bar, and besides getting a bit drunk and making a fool of himself at Harvey’s apartment, he did a good job. I liked that Mike tried to help Rachel study for the LSATs and then she ended up almost hiring him to take the test for her. He was a good guy to steer her away from doing that, but she managed to put two and two together and now he has the dual problem of her not liking him because of his lying and her knowing about his past. I liked how Harvey played Jessica getting Louis King Lear tickets and forcing her to go with him, and she exercised the perfect revenge on him later by giving him tickets and making him go with Louis. It’s good to make sure someone so cocky gets grounded every once in a while.
