This has to be the single most disappointing episode of Suits I have seen. Given that this was the last time we would see main characters like Mike and Rachel onscreen, it was a huge letdown.
This episode feels like they were trying to cram too much in, without really doing much justice to any of it. The latter half of the season deals with how potentially the existence of Specter Litt could be in jeopardy, but what should have been a critical plotline feels like it was just glazed over and resolved in this episode.
Most of this episode is actually a backdoor pilot for the Pearson series. While the execution of this story is very good and very real, I don't feel like this should have been in the same episode as some of the much more critical plot that it feels like we get a glimpse of.
By the time you get to the end of the episode, you almost forget about Mike and Rachel's wedding, and of course the fact that they were leaving. The wedding scene was a fine enough place to leave the season on, but it just felt hollow. It seemed wrong to me that Mike wouldn't give Harvey more notice about the fact that he was leaving. Worse still, the episode lacked the emotional weight and punch I was looking for. There were no tearful goodbyes or anything of the sort. I didn't think that this episode was able to satisfy the past 7 seasons that we as an audience have spent with these characters. They could have done so much better.
