Suits 3 Episode 4 ‘Conflict of Interest’: British Harvey, Donna Agree to Steamy, Casual Arrangement
There is a thing called getting the attention of the prettiest in the room by striking-up a conversation with the second prettiest. I didn't conjure that up, but that is what Donna (Sarah Rafferty) tells Rachel (Meghan Markel) after the latter thinks 'British Harvey' (Max Beesely) was trying to charm her.
Rachel is no less pretty than Donna but to British Harvey she is and that is why despite turning him down for a date, Donna comes to the office dressed in a striking, new blue dress. If a man wants to learn how to charm the ladies and make them wobbly, Darby's fixer Stephen Huntley is the man and he is going to be in New York for a brief while and he works at the London office.
Rachel also feels, she is in "trouble" just like Donna's 'I'm in trouble." But, British Harvey is just interested in Donna and she is in a fix despite finding him charming and hot -- add Rachel's witty and British to that. He is a man hard to resist but Donna does not mix business with pleasure.
Put two girl-friends in a room and if they are BFF, they'll come up with a solution that pleases both the girls and also the man. 'British Harvey' is not a case of mixing of business with pleasure. He is in New York for six weeks and after that he will pack his bags and go back to his country and work in a company, which is kind of a different company. The ladies completely ignore the fact that there was a merger between his and their firms and it is basically one company. But, the solution has been found to hoodwink the personal policy and agree to an arrangement.
And, an enlightened Donna finds 'British Harvey' in the copy-room. She gives him tips on how to handle a copy machine, "there is a time to be gentle and there is a time to be firm." The sophisticated adult conversation, full of double-entendres, leads to the brief, casual arrangement while the man stays in New York. He isn't interested for more and Donna does not have time for more.
'British Harvey' promises to be a generous boss and not at all a demanding one. The man takes Donna, dressed in a sexy, backless black costume, out to watch Macbeth. But, Shakespeare's tragedy does not get their audience as there are far more important steamy needs to fulfil in the night.
