Trivia

Goddamn Counter: 10
This is the last episode to feature the show's initial intro, which had been used in every episode thus far with the sole exception of the pilot, as well the last episode to feature Patrick J. Adams and Meghan Markle as members of the main cast.
This episode is Meghan Markle's last appearance on Suits as well as the final acting performance in her career, due to her engagement and subsequent marriage to Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex. While living in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, as Suits was filmed there, Meghan encountered Prince Harry in 2016 while he was launching the 2017 Invictus Games in the city, and the pair were soon engaged. The engagement caused Meghan to close all her social media accounts, retire from acting and move to London, England to join the royal family, prompting her character to have her marriage to Mike Ross expedited and for the pair to relocate outside of New York City so that her character could be swiftly written out of the show.
This episode serves as the backdoor pilot for Pearson.

Quotes

Louis: Well, that's a great idea, Alex, but where the hell are we gonna find someone to give 25 partners raises and promotions at some other major law firm?
Alex: I'll tell them where we're gonna find them, Louis. Where I left them. Right inside your motherfucking Dictaphone.

Mike: Those fuckers. They knew this was coming. And then they got rid of the evidence.

Jessica: Harvey, when were you gonna tell me Mike and Rachel moved up their wedding?
Harvey: When you were out of trouble, that's when. I didn't know myself until an hour ago.
Jessica: Well, now you know. You're the closest thing that kid has to family. If you're not there for him, you're gonna regret it for the rest of your life.
