Ava Hessington (Michelle Fairley) of Hessington Oil is positively linked to a huge murder case. Suits Season 3, Episode 4 sees Harvey and Mike doing their best to keep her from jail for murder. Louis and Katrina aim to prevent a hostile company takeover. They're Team A and Team B, but both teams are with Ava. Their methods, however, can potentially create disasters over conflict of interest.
Suits Season 3, Episode 4 Review: 'Conflict of Interest' Highlights
This special Suits episode brings everyone together in the show, including Game of Thrones' Lord Varys, aka the person-in-charge Edward Darby (Conleth Hill). These are the highlights of Suits Season 3, Episode 4, from the funniest to the most exciting developments:
- Mike Ross fakes a Brit accent to stop an interview. (Patrick J Adams has previously shown his penchant for vocal playtimes.)
- Stephen and Donna agree on a short-term arrangement.
- Jessica sends Louis on a Black Swan mission behind Harvey's back. Louis would later regret this.
- Katrina and Mike show some real chemistry. Rachel is jealous. But she's easily appeased by three little words.
- After Ava's emotional and powerfully vulnerable moment, Mike and Harvey realise she's not guilty. (Holy sh$t.)
- Harvey's upset. Darby's more upset. Jessica proves she can't sit pretty being Number 2. But the win goes to Jessica - at a lot of people's expense.
Suits Season 3 is becoming a wilder ride by each episode. Having "Game of Thrones" is a brilliant part of it, but the rest of the cast hold their own. Gina Torres, meanwhile, is another story. In Episode 4, Gina is a fierce goddess warrior through and through. ("Firefly" beats Lord Varys here!)
In Suits Season 3, Episode 4 characters are further exposed by conflict of interest. Motivations are revealed and priorities are brutally protected. No second was wasted by episode writer Daniel Arkin and director Michael Smith. This is definitely among the best episodes of the series (again). Daniel Hardman (David Costabile) even gets a shout-out amid the ego warfare between the firm's standing king and queen -- GOT's Lord Varys and Firefly's Zoe.
