'Suits' season 9 episode 3: 'Windmills' pushes the firm to its breaking point as constant humiliation makes Louis want to leave
Things at Zane Specter Litt Wheeler Williams haven’t been all that great since season 9 began, and except for Donna and Harvey coupling up, there just doesn’t seem to be any light at the end of the tunnel. Faye Richardson (Denise Crosby), as fair as she seems to an outsider, is making lives of the people in the firm that we have loved for nine seasons, hell, especially for Louis (Rick Hoffman).
In season 9 episode 2 titled ‘Special Master,’ we saw that Faye not only humiliated Louis in front of the associates multiple times but also stripped him of his role as Managing Director. It is sure to take a toll on his mental health, especially considering how he has fought tooth and nail to get to where he is.
Harvey (Gabriel Macht) and Donna (Sarah Rafferty) are yet to hear about it, but it surely isn’t going to go down all that well with either of them, who have both come to consider Louis one of their closest friends. However, they are still in their honeymoon phase, if they do not take the caution to protect their relationship, it’s going to cost them heavily too.
At one point we hear Harvey tell Donna, “It’s coming between us, and I am going to put a stop to it.” It remains to be seen what Harvey does to stop Faye.
It definitely seems like Louis has reached a breaking point, with the promo for season 9 episode 3 titled ‘Windmills’ showing him informing Harvey that he wants to leave the firm. It is going to be a huge shock to everyone at the firm, considering he has become synonymous with Zane Specter Litt Wheeler Williams and we cannot imagine the firm without it.
The promo also shows Samantha (Katherine Heigl) trying to find a loophole to get Louis his position back, and discussing the same with Alex (Dulé Hill), who only tells her to stop sidestepping the law and stop the mess from getting messier. How will the team figure out a way to help out one of their own?
Watch season 9 episode 3 of ‘Suits’ titled ‘Windmills’ to find out.
