Suits: Season 1, Episode 8 “Identity Crisis” (B+)
Now this is one very involved episode for all of our lawyers, as they’re on the prowl for a major victory in a case for a dear friend of Jessica’s and Harvey’s managing his own side case which may have serious implications for Mike. Louis took center stage in this episode as he managed to consistently mess up, being so abrasive with Perkins that he dies on his way out of the office, then berating his wife, and then falling prey to a scheme hatched by the opposition that nearly gets him in serious trouble. It’s good that Harvey was mature enough to ultimately go to Louis to ask him for help with the financials, and they were a fun team for the few minutes that they were actually getting along. Ending on a bad note makes sense since having them be friends wouldn’t be nearly as fun for this show. There were plenty of notable guest stars in this episode, including Tim Russ from “Star Trek Voyager” and Bruce Altman, currently recurring on “Damages,” as the opposition of the case being driven by Paula Newsome, from “Women’s Murder Club.” James Morrison, a.k.a. Bill Buchanan from “24,” drops in as Jerome, and I liked how that plotline progressed, with Lola quickly discovering how Mike didn’t actually go to Harvard and then hacking in and creating a diploma for him so that his story would be considerably more airtight. This episode marks another confirmation of what I’ve been noticing this entire week on USA. Apparently the word “shit” can now be uttered, since Peter definitely said it on “White Collar” and Harvey dropped it at least three times in this hour. In other news, “Suits” has officially been renewed for a second season, which is terrific!
