‘Suits’ Season 5 Spoilers: Sarah Rafferty’s Donna Paulsen faces perjury possibilities in court
Mike Ross faces another huge challenge
“Suits” Season 5, Episode 14 (“Self Defense”) airs this Wednesday, Feb. 17, on USA. This week’s new episode takes Donna Paulsen (Sarah Rafferty) to the witness stand. In the Suits 5x14 promo video, the beloved character gets way too close to committing perjury.
Spoiler alert: This update contains “Suits” Season 5 spoilers. Fans who missed the previous episodes may catch up and watch the series via streaming on USA website.
In Episode 14, Anita Gibbs (Leslie Hope) tries to break Donna again. This time, she asks her one simple question: Did Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams) go to Harvard? Watch the Suits 5x14 promo video below.
“As time runs out before the trial, [Mike Ross] wants to represent himself while Harvey (Gabriel Macht) wants to lead the charge. To decide the issue, Harvey challenges Mike to a winner takes all showdown, but the prospect of beating one another starts to overshadow their real goal - to beat [Gibbs]. Meanwhile, Louis' (Rick Hoffman) attempt to get Sheila (Rachael Harris) out of the picture comes back to haunt him and Jessica (Gina Torres),” reads the USA synopsis of “Suits” Season 5, Episode 14.
Gibbs is not backing down until she gets a big fish - Harvey or Jessica. Mike, however, is not about to betray either one of them. To be sure, in an earlier “Suits” Season 5 episode, Jessica goes to her ex-boyfriend Jeff Malone (D.B. Woodside) to show Mike that she, too, has lost something in order to protect their secret.
The return of Trevor (Tom Lipinski) is also expected as Gibbs continues to relentlessly find weak spots she could poke to get what she wants from Mike Ross and Harvey Specter. “Suits” Season 5 is only starting to heat up as Gibbs lines up her aces against her targets.
Will Donna fold in the courtroom? Or will Mike and Harvey come to her rescue again? Avid viewers will soon find out what happens next.
