Donna left knowing that Harvey would act like Harvey, and she still left because she felt okay with not having a presence in Harvey's life at the time. However ,she may be about to regret it, which might spur her into doing something other than shunning Harvey....because that's not working.<br /><br />(I also wanted to mention that I hope Gretchen gets to have some interaction with other characters soon.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678481478994191244.post-16858114743033825752015-07-11T13:07:16.258-04:002015-07-11T13:07:16.258-04:00wait so you are saying Donna was selfish and wrong...wait so you are saying Donna was selfish and wrong to leave Harvey and try to look after herself for once?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678481478994191244.post-4919221258114694372015-07-10T22:07:54.662-04:002015-07-10T22:07:54.662-04:00Words cannot express how much I am loving Season 5...Words cannot express how much I am loving Season 5 of Suits.<br /><br />I have been surprised by every episode, which is not easy for writers to do after 50+ episodes with the same characters.<br /><br />Personally, I would love to see Harvey have a brief relationship with Louis' sister. When I saw the preview I was excited and thought: bring on the drama! Donna, being Donna, would have known that her leaving Harvey would destroy him and she chose to leave him anyway, so I don't feel at all bad for Donna if Harvey and Esther hook up.<br /><br />I also wanted to mention that 503 and 501 were both fantastic episodes and I noticed they were both directed by Anton Cropper, so well done to him because there was a noticeable difference in quality compared to 502.<br /><br />But mostly, congrats to Aaron Korsh & the writers. I am totally impressed with what they're doing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678481478994191244.post-63611908535410177142015-07-10T17:19:28.342-04:002015-07-10T17:19:28.342-04:00if he actually sleeps with his sister, i will kind...if he actually sleeps with his sister, i will kinda start to hate Harvey because that would be such an as*hole move honestly! He would be a jerk in my eyes. And i'm sure that would hurt Donna a lot even if she would not show it. I mean how much more is he gonna hurt her until he realizes she is the one? If i were Donna i would have left the entire firm a long time ago.

I completely agree tha...Jen great review as always! I completely agree that is it always Harvey who gets everything he wants and Donna has everything to loose. I mean for heaven's sake she probably is in her late30s-early40s and she is still alone without a partner for a while because of her work with Harvey. He was always so selfish towards her and after this episode i was even more convinced of that. <br /><br />But i think it's the writers fault. They never give Donna the upper hand for too long! For example, next week Harvey is getting another love interest (yawn) with Louis' sister. Its in the promo! That's annoying if you ask me! I know Darvey will not happen now and we need some relationship drama before but I was expecting that after Harvey said no to Donna she should be the one getting a ''love interest'', she deserves it so much more! <br />If Harvey ends up sleeping with Esther I am gonna find that so cliché and I'm gonna dislike him even more lol. Hopefully he doesn't!

He used his relationship as her boss to create separate "rules" for him that kept him "safe" but still involved in a relationship with her. He would not risk more because he could not face the loss of control and security, and eventual pain if he lost her...but he lost her anyways. I said it last week and I will say it again, that threat at the end of last week directed towards Louis was really a reflection of Harvey's fears and eventually what happened to him because he let that fear keep him from opening up--he did not try for more, but he still lost Donna, the "thing" he values most. Louis is so off on still thinking it is the money, but then again he is off on Harvey in general. <br />What I like is that we are finally seeing Donna make good on this conversation (paraphrased):<br />Harvey: you don't keep secrets from me.<br />Donna: you keep secrets from me all the time.<br />Harvey: that's because I am your boss.<br />Donna: well then maybe you shouldn't be my boss anymore.<br /><br />I know this show does not keep time like Arrow, so it's has not been that long, but I feel like she has been letting this one stew.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678481478994191244.post-33409758566597420282015-07-09T17:44:18.325-04:002015-07-09T17:44:18.325-04:00Those last 3 paragraph on Harvey and Donna are so ...Those last 3 paragraph on Harvey and Donna are so well said and really captures the layers of understanding in that "imagined" scene !Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03433313479357335938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678481478994191244.post-39465572943357602832015-07-09T17:31:31.237-04:002015-07-09T17:31:31.237-04:00Hi there, Jen! I love your blog (die-hard Olicity ...Hi there, Jen! I love your blog (die-hard Olicity shipper) and since you were the one that got me started on Suits, I'm happy to hear your thoughts on that, too. You nailed it about Harvey needing control: As long as Harvey paid Donna, he knew she would stay in his life for sure and that's why he's having panic attacks now. He needed that security desperately. I think that's also partly why he kept paying her: It was the last bit of control he had... and that's gone now too.<br />I loved the imagined discussion during the therapy session as I'm loving all the therapy stuff! It was so intense and gave us a real glimpse into Harvey's feelings. I'm craving more.<br />On a sidenote: How great was Jessica's white gown in the end? She so outdid Rachel, absolutely stunning. <br />Looking forward to hearing Jenn's thoughts again next week!! I love you two ladies, keep up the great work ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678481478994191244.post-87299024830134251272015-07-09T14:34:54.291-04:002015-07-09T14:34:54.291-04:00(The problem is that a real relationship requires ...(The problem is that a real relationship requires a complete loss of control for Harvey. He loves Donna. He's in love with Donna, but being her employer allows Harvey to keep control over their relationship. It's about him. His needs. His wants. His terms. It's a carefully constructed wall. By leaving, Donna eliminated the only piece of control Harvey has between them. She eliminated the wall. Now all that's left is the emotional avalanche he's been avoiding.)<br /><br />This paragraph is perfection. It is the absolute best description of why Donna had to leave Harvey, and why Harvey is reacting to it so badly. Harvey NEEDS to feel in control of all things and for 12 years that control has extended to his relationship with Donna. It's why she says to him in last season's finale that HE'S the one who has everything. The balance in their relationship was weighed very heavily in Harvey's favor. That may work in a boss/employee relationship, but it was clear that is no longer what they have. And no longer what Donna wants. So she had to go. And now Harvey doesn't have a choice but to either confront their status as equals or to keep pushing the feelings away. Which leads to the panic. But this is Harvey. So I'm pretty sure we're not going to see him accepting his emotions right away. He's going to run as far as he can. And probably do some really stupid stuff along the way. But some things can never be out run. But I'm buckled in for a bumpy ride.<br /><br />It was SO nice to see Mike and Rachel outside of their relationship with each other. Especially Rachel. I needed to see her focus some back on her career. And teaming her with Jessica was just a fabulous idea. Jessica Pearson makes EVERYONE better.<br /><br />I need Louis to man up. I need him to really start to take a stand. Not just for Donna's sake, but for himself too. He's now got a pretty great team mate and support system. He needs to learn to count on that, and finally figure out who he really is not as a reflection of Harvey, Jessica, or anyone else.<br /><br />Great review especially for a pinch hitter!!
