Suits Season 3, Episode 3 Review: 'Game of Thrones' Stays, Alliances Sealed; Everyone's In Trouble [PHOTOS]
Suits Season 3, Episode 3 ("Unfinished Business") is a treat to Game of Thrones fans missing Michelle Fairley as Catelyn Stark. Now the actress is playing Ava Hessington, client of Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) on the USA show. In this latest episode, the lawyer-client pair gets thrown off-guard by some murder-related charges.
Cameron Dennis (Gary Cole, "The Good Wife") is also back in Suits Season 3. He's out to prove to his former protégé that he can win a game of metaphorical chess against him. But is Cameron actually charging the right person? As in Game of Thrones, we don't know which characters are really good or bad.
"Michelle has a steel and a vulnerability in her that lets us question if she is behind what she is being accused of or not," Suits creator executive producer Aaron Korsh told TV Guide. In Game of Thrones, such description fits Lord Varys (Conleith Hill). In Suits Season 3, Conleith is Edward Darby, the steely character supporting Ava Hessington. Korsh, who is also a GOT fan, couldn't make the GOT-Suits viewers more delighted. Ava, Harvey, Edward, and (probably) Scottie's Steve aka Stephen Huntley (Max Beesly) are all caught in some unfinished business.

Katrina (Amanda Schull) is finally seen again on Suits Season 3, Episode 3. She, too, is quite unfinished at Pearson and Darby. But her parts are not as intense as the scene in which Mike interrogates Ava, or any of Ava scenes for that matter. Michelle is a force to reckon with as Ava.
On the lighter side, Suits Season 3 seems to be upholding bromance in the show. Why else would the writers use lines like this: "Louis, Have you given any thought to a rebound associate?" If that's not hilarious enough, Louis replies, "I don't just want a superficial relationship." Apparently, a man-to-man relationship for Louis (Rick Hoffman) involves origami festival. Harvey is amused, if not slightly revolted. This is all comedy here, but the decisions Louis and Harvey make at the end are very, very serious.
Still on the lighter side: Here's an interesting trivia on the scene where Patrick J. Adams' Mike Ross is thrilled to see Eva with Harvey. In real life, Adams admitted to "fangirling" about Michelle Fairley. They were filming Suits Season 3 at the time Michelle was still involved in "Game of Thrones."
Now for the real serious stuff, Suits Season 3, Episode 3 is still an "unfinished business" in the end. Alliances were formed, revelations were made, and a bit of Harvey-like romance is in the air for Donna (Sarah Rafferty). Is this guy Scottie's ex-fiancee Steve? Well, Donna says she's "in trouble." But at this point in the show, it seems everyone is in trouble, or brewing some massive trouble.
