Once a quarter Suits twists the plot for every character in just an episode, an hour of convoluted plans, trying to win without suffering the consequences of what they do, taking decisions that are between the lines of right and wrong after getting blackmailed or some sort of legal battle that usually borderlines the gray area of ethics and morality. "Teeth, Nose, Teeth" is one of those.
Every plot and storyline that happens revolve around each character, and conflict is arising because the blue filters used in the cinematography department are back. Even if the lighting keeps being bright and soft unlike the hard contrasts used most in season 5 and part of 6.
Louis has important character tests, Tara points out she doesn't know him well after witnessing one of his outbursts, and even if Harvey (who would have thought this?) gives him romantic advise he puts his foot in his mouth. He makes it better in the end though, by showing his special someone where he comes from. However we have to think, is it enough? After dating only a couple of weeks, can you be sure about the step he's taking? Can Tara be sure? Can we?
The leading men and Rachel has dramatic storylines that point into the closure this episode have, Donna, on the other hand, after so much anticipation to have her own storyline, serves this episode as the archetype of comic relief. And to be quite honest, as the episode fades to black I sincerely don't know what to think of this particular Plot. Benjamin has been recording her quirky comebacks and made up what we can say it's a portable Donna. The problem is, this little computer only has the sass of her answers, but lacks her heart, intuition, loyalty, and ability to empathize with her friends and colleagues. Not just for the audience, but for Donna too, if the IT guys wants to sell this product, he has to make a lot of modifications. The whole arc, up to now, seems like a joke, or some way to bring back the light and fun moments, as shown in that first scene between Donna and Benjamin, or the following showcasing the classic banter between Harvey and Donna. Those quick one liners that remind us of classic Hollywood slapstick comedy. Is it enough?
Meanwhile Harvey, Mike and Rachel's storylines mingle because of the ramifications of the crime Mike committed, her tie to him, and what Harvey means to the show. (He's the man behind everything that has happened until now)
Apparently Rachel is denied a date to sit for the bar exam, but it was only an elaborate plan by one of the members of the ethics committee to make Harvey show up at his office and ask for a favor. And by asking for a favor I mean blackmailing him because of the ambiguity of the decisions he took through his career. He has to find a reason to sue this man's biggest competitor. And that's when it seems he finds the silver lining to help Mike. If he does this, not only Rachel can become a lawyer, but Mike too.
At first Mike is against it, but after a difficult case in the clinic, and not finding the backup he needed he accepts, and the episode comes to an end with Rachel understanding what's going on and the lawyer and almost lawyer version of Batman and Robin are reunited. There's one thing they're forgetting, and it's the promise Anita Gibbs made to both of them. She has had enough of the fraudulent charade they've pulled. Because let's not forget they did and what do you think it will happen when she finds out?
Besides all the questions I'm throwing to the online universe about how this episode developed and what it might mean, it had two strong points that were deeply enjoyable to watch. Louis and Harvey's new dynamic, respecting each other in and out of the workplace, that's good character evolution; and the opening sequence. Donna and Rachel, mirroring Harvey and Mike talking about the younger couple wedding, was a light set up between all the twists that took place. And I want to think that closer to the end than the beginning there are some conflicts that will get resolved before this season ends.
