USA Network continues Season 7 with Episode 6’s Home to Roost, of their popular lawyer drama, Suits, starring Patrick J. Adams and Gabriel Macht. The slick lawyers Mike Ross and Harvey Specter, are back and ready to take on any court case.

Because Mike Ross (Adams) has been working secretly on his previous pro bono case, his absence at the firm is felt by Harvey Specter (Macht). Harvey decides once and for all to find out what Mike has been up to. Harvey uncovers the truth from the client himself. 

While Harvey argues with Mike, Louis Litt (Rick Hoffman) is suddenly slapped with a sexually harassment lawsuit. Katrina (Amanda Schull) then meets with Stephanie (Nitya Vidyasagar) to calm down the tense situation. Katrina works her magic but Louis has to agree that he sexually harassed her.

Louis hates the agreement they made because it proves he is a repeated sexual harasser. Refusing Katrina’s advice, Louis then meets Stephanie outside her apartment and makes matters worse. Now Stephanie wants to take Litt to court and make a fool out of him.

After being ordered to drop the case, Mike then tells the bad news to Oliver. Mike realizes he should have been helping instead of coddling Oliver. Even though he knew Mike would leave, Oliver is still afraid to man up in the courtroom.

Harvey starts an argument with his former therapist, Dr. Paula Agard (Christina Cole) over Donna. Paula wants to know why Harvey hasn’t told Donna that he is in a relationship. Knowing that she’s right, Harvey then tells Donna (Sarah Rafferty) the truth.

Rachel Zane (Meghan Markle) stumbles Donna just as she is about to cry. She should have expected Harvey finding someone else, but she didn’t. Donna then gets more bad news; she has received a subpoena to testify against Louis in the lawsuit. 

In an unexpected turn of events, Alex Williams (Dulé Hill) shows up at the courtroom. He ruins Oliver’s chances of taking the lawsuit further and causes the judge to drop the case. The arguments continue as Harvey sides with Alex over Mike.

Louis and Katrina realize his only hope is to apologize. He explains to Stephanie why he snapped; he lost his chance at being a father. Louis was hurting so much, he took it out on her. Stephanie sympathizes with Louis and drops the lawsuit.

Donna hands back her keys to Harvey’s apartment. The love they have for each other is still there, even as they sit in their separate offices.

Knowing Alex made a fool of himself in the courtroom, Harvey wants to know what’s really going on with him.    

Suits continues on USA Network Wednesdays at 9pm.
