Ever since season one, Donna and Harvey's romance has been one of the best loved storylines on Suits. This finally happened in the season eight finale when Harvey turned up at Donna's apartment and the pair sent the night together.
All hail the queen! Way back in Season 2 , Donna was fired due to the machinations of that evil cuss Daniel Hardman. When the Hardman threat had been put on ice, Harvey's very first act was to bring Donna back -- a testament to her importance to Harvey, and the firm as a whole.
She briefly left him to work for Louis Litt; however, Louis fired her so that she could go back to work for Harvey. Who does Harvey Specter marry in suits? Harvey and Donna Get Married. Can Mike Ross practice law again? The truth is he is a convicted felon and unless some kind of TV miracle happens, he'll never be able to practice law again.
At least not without some serious help. Who turned in Mike Ross? As she leaves the building, Harvey pushes the elevator button for her and watches her leave. When a mock trial is situated in the Pearson-Hardman when Harvey goes to trial, Mike convinces Donna to come back and testify.
When she shows up, Louis Litt pressures her, causing Harvey to jump in. At the end of " Rewind ", Harvey tells Jessica that he will be getting Donna back. She returns in " Asterisk " and helps Harvey and Jessica figure out Hardman 's plan by realizing that Louis has just been promoted to senior partner. Donna, after being rehired by Pearson Darby , engages in a relationship with British lawyer Stephen Huntley , and after releasing the news of her intimacy with Stephen to Harvey, is initially greeted with an approving response from Harvey.
However as the season progresses, we see Harvey's disapproval for Donna's relationship with Stephen, perhaps an implication of Harvey's feelings and past relations with Donna. Donna, after realizing Stephen's involvement in the Ava Hessington murder case shamefully apologizes to Harvey admitting she was unaware of who Stephen really was and the fact that she had been with a murderer.
Donna was charged from the District Attorney's office, by Terrance Wolf for illegally obtaining maintenance records from the Liberty Rail file room by impersonating an NTSB agent, a serious felony which can result in jail time. This not only nullified the win, but also put Donna in great danger. Eventually the charge was reduced to Intent, after Harvey explained to Wolf that since they will not disclose the documents which would put them in danger , no proof of damage exists.
Eventually after getting more evidence from Joe Henderson, Harvey was able to force Evan Smith to drop the charges against Donna. The final words in the episode were Harvey telling Donna that he loves her. Donna lies with Harvey in her bed, with Harvey telling Donna that he wished he had come to his senses earlier. As Donna tells them that it's time they got some sleep, Harvey tells her that everything has changed.
A few hours later, Harvey and Donna finish leaving phone calls to Mike and Rachel about their night together. As the pair discuss their relationship, they are interrupted by Louis , who arrives at the apartment to deliver some bad news. Harvey and Donna briefly discuss how to hide Harvey's presence before Harvey states that there is no reason to hide their relationship from Louis.
As they open the door, Louis sees the two and assumes that they were working all night to handle the Zane situation, which both Harvey and Donna play along with, while making sexual innuendos the whole time. Louis informs them that they need to issue a press release and presents a statement he had drafted which condemns Robert's actions while signifying that the firm is still supporting him. Before he leaves, Louis tells Harvey that he needs to work with Samantha and sign all of Robert's clients before they find legal representation elsewhere.
Donna then asks Harvey not to share the news of them being together with anyone else until the Robert matter is handled. Later that night, Donna receives a phone call with Thomas, who apologizes for not calling her back, stating that he knew she was going to break up with him since they were going from spending nights together to suddenly going for lunch, and that he couldn't bear to hear what she had to say.
Donna tells him that he is a good man and the pair amicably end their relationship. Donna later receives a phone call from Harvey that he cannot come over to her apartment tonight, and tells her that he feels bad for lying to Samantha about needing to be alone when he had rushed out of her office. Donna divulges that she just broke up with Thomas, causing Harvey to briefly regret his decision, informing her that he did not know that she was still dating him when he came over.
Donna soothes the blow by claiming that while they hadn't officially broken up, Thomas knew that it was over, adding that Harvey did nothing wrong. Following his run-in with Samantha, Harvey heads to Donna's office, notifying her that Samantha knows about them. While Donna understands where Samantha is coming from, Harvey responds that he cannot accept the things Samantha said to him and that he would have punched her if she wasn't a woman.
Donna reminds him that Samantha does not like being treated differently for being a woman, and that since Samantha loves to fight, Harvey should box with her and that way they can get it out of their system. Harvey retorts that he is not hitting a woman, while Donna adds that Samantha has military training and that in a fight, she believes Samantha would win. Harvey begins to leave in bewilderment, although Donna adds that they would both like to fight each other and that for Harvey to refuse getting in the ring with her just because she is a woman would be disrespectful of her.
The next night, Donna goes to Mike and Rachel's old apartment at Harvey's behest, wondering why he invited her there. Harvey discloses that when Mike suddenly left New York, he asked Harvey to rent out the apartment on his behalf; wanting to retain the apartment in case they ever returned, Harvey created a fake tenant and had been paying the rent every month.
Harvey tells Donna that a week ago, he wouldn't have slept with her if he knew she was still with Thomas, but that the moment he realized he wanted to be with her, he felt like he was already in a relationship with her.
He adds that he thought he was going to lose everything at the hearing, and despite not losing, he felt empty in the aftermath, and that things finally made sense when they got together. He then admits that the name he used for the fake tenant was none other than Rick Sorkin, which Donna remembers is the name of the applicant who didn't show up to Harvey's associate interviews.
Harvey tells Donna that he loves that she gets him, and the pair kiss. The next morning, Donna and Harvey head to Louis' house, where they see him wearing a Speedo, which Louis refers to as a "mankini", claiming that wearing it instead of underwear is extremely supportive. Harvey and Donna refuse the offer and instead try to tell him that they are together and to explain why Harvey spent the night at Donna's apartment, although Louis is oblivious and believes that by together they mean standing together side-by-side and that Harvey had spent the night at Donna's due to plumbing issues.
Donna then explicitly states that she and Harvey are in a relationship and that they didn't want to share the news before when the timing was bad, with Harvey adding that they wanted Louis to know, as their partner and friend, although Louis replies that while he is happy to hear their good news, there is also some bad news.
Back at the firm, Donna inquires into how long Faye is going to stay, with Louis responding that it would up to the discretion of the New York State Bar Association. Harvey retorts that there is no way he would accept some outside taking control of his firm, while Alex Williams begins to tell Louis that they could have avoided it, only for Samantha to intercede, claiming that Alex was going to say that they could have avoided this predicament had they removed Robert's name.
At that moment, Faye walks in, announcing that she wished to meet them and criticizing the firm's management, such as how the firm had two disbarred managing partners in two years, a junior partner who had gone to prison, and that she believes Harvey was an involved party in Mike Ross' fraud.
Faye adds that if they want her gone, they would have to show her that they would stop crossing lines and fly straight, revealing that not only does she have the power to fire them, but that she can approve cases, allocate resources and do anything else she sees fit in her capacity as Special Master. Faye announces that her first order of business would be removing Robert Zane's name from the firm name, causing Samantha to reply that she would find dirt on Faye if Faye attempted to do so.
Faye responds that this kind of thinking is the exact reason she had to take over their firm and that Samantha has no say in the matter, causing Samantha to retort that she would be leaving the firm. As she storms out, Faye informs the others that their days of operating the firm as they seem fit, likening it to the Wild West, are over. Returning to her office, Donna is questioned by Katrina how long Faye would be at their firm when Faye herself walks in. Katrina introduces herself to Faye before excusing herself, and Faye asks Donna to schedule an exit interview with Thomas, stating that she finds it hard to accept that a man would fire his law firm after that firm placed his interests high enough to break privilege.
Knowing that Thomas would not lie for them again, Donna goes to Harvey's office to notify him of Faye's plan and adding that they need to get rid of Faye, with Harvey replying that they need to find a way to avoid that exit interview.
In her office, Donna is informed by Harvey that Thomas has agreed to be their client again. Donna wonders if Thomas would arrive to sign the engagement letter as Faye wishes to have the exit interview with him, although she calms down when Harvey informs her that Thomas had given his word. Donna asks Harvey how he can make everything feel better, to which he responds that it is because he is Superman and Donna is Lana Lang. Donna retorts that she is Lois Lane instead, although Harvey quips that she is the best of both as she is a redhead before he leaves, claiming to go save Metropolis, which Donna scoffs at, claiming Harvey does not even know his own phone number.
Shortly after, Thomas arrives at Donna's office to sign the engagement letter. He and Donna have a small chat, and Thomas elects to take the letter to Harvey's office to sign there instead of signing it now and giving it to Donna. Louis returns to the firm after going out for bowling, meeting with Donna in the associates' kitchen. He apologizes for not celebrating in the monumental news of Donna's relationship with Harvey and asks to indulge in conversation, specifically regarding and comparing Harvey's sexual prowess.
As Donna leaves and heads to Harvey's office to inform him of what Louis had said to her, Harvey notifies her that Thomas backed out of signing with them as he could not handle Harvey and Donna being together. Knowing that Thomas no longer being a client would lead to Faye going through with the exit interview, Donna tells Harvey that she would tell Faye the truth. Heading to Faye's office, Donna informs Faye that she was in a relationship with Thomas that ended and that this led to Thomas leaving the firm; additionally, Donna adds that having an exit interview with him would reopen the wound and asks Faye if she ever had a relationship she thought would last but ended badly.
So I thought it might be happening. When I saw it, I was really excited to talk to Aaron about his process for getting there. When you first started shooting the season, did you have any sense that this is where it would be heading?
I had had such a wonderful time actually working with Sasha, and it was really refreshing for me that Donna finally had a boyfriend. So being able to have that happy, falling-in-love Donna for a minute was really a pleasure, and to be able to dig into that. It seems from my Twitter that the fans were actually enjoying it too. I was really focused on that. I think it was just being developed. I was surprised by how much I liked Thomas as a character and how into their relationship I was.
They had chemistry and he was a good match for her, I think. This scene has been a long time coming. Did you feel that sense of history when it came time to shoot? We talked about what their internal dialogue was. What are they actually saying to each other in those moments of quiet?
We even had a little bit of a bigger moment after the first kiss where we pulled away and looked at each other and decided to continue on. So I believe that Trevor means what he says when he talks to Mike in that scene.
How much will he be struggling with that? Is there a crisis of conscience for him? Yes and no. He does understand that he did it.
