What fans fear the most for Mike Ross went down in "Suits" season 5 episode 10, a.k.a. the show's summer finale.
(Spoiler alert)
It is amazing how the young con-lawyer manage to keep people at bay with regards to his real educational background.
For four seasons Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams) got to practice law despite the fact the he does not havea diploma to be a lawyer. However, in the most recent "Suits" season 5 episode, his nightmare came to life.
The episode ended with Ross getting handcuffed by the cops for fraud. The date of the next episode is yet to be revealed and fans are already excited to see how things will turn out. Series creator Aaron Korsh said nothing is final yet.
"We decided (to reveal Mike Ross) either at the end of season four or maybe the beginning of season five," Korsh said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter shortly after the "Suits" mid-season finale.
"Enough people have found out Mike's secret - we go to that well a lot to keep people from finding out. At some point we thought that instead of having another person find out, we wanted him to be found out. It felt like the right thing to do; you can only keep this thing under wraps for so long. When we started Suits I had no idea how long it would go or how it would end. But in retrospect I probably thought its ending would be Mike being discovered, maybe five years in. So we're five years in. Let's have him be discovered and push on through and figure out what happens after that."
In another interview with TV Line, Korsh explained that this current season is meant to make Mike Ross and Harvey Spectre (Gabriel Macht) struggle with their persona lives.
"[We wanted] to have Mike and Harvey each grappling with this huge decision of whether they should stay or go," he said.
"We had been wanting to explore Harvey and his mom stuff from the beginning of the year, once he was in therapy, and this just presented itself as a way to dovetail those two. With Mike, I don't 100 percent remember how the idea of the priest came out, but it was a way to give him someone that he knew his whole life, who's still alive, [who] he can go and talk to them about the thing, but the person didn't know what he'd been doing. It sheds so much light on him. When we were writing it, I thought, "We should see the day he found out [his parents died]. We should see this thing that affected his whole life."
Unfortunately, it is too late for Mike Ross to make the sensible decision. He is now in prison and it looks like the Pearson-Spectre-Litt law firm will go down with him.
