'Suits' Season 5: New Character to Pose Threat to Harvey's Firm
"Suits" season 5 episode 11 will introduce a new character that will pose a threat to Harvey Specter's (Gabriel Macht) firm.
After Mike Ross (Patrick J.Adams) was jailed, a new promo for "Suits" season 5 hints at more trouble for Harvey and his firm. Assistant U.S. attorney Anita Gibbs (Leslie Hope) will enter the scene to come after the main characters of the series, according to the International Business Times (IBT) AU.
In the newly released promo for the episode titled "Blowback," Gibbs can be heard saying she was the one responsible for Mike's jail sentence. She also tells him that he committed fraud for each activity he did in the firm, the report relays.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Adams described Gibbs as a "fascinating" character because the firm's personnel all view her as a villain when in fact she is doing the right thing. Gibbs is only investigating Harvey's firm, which has deceived its clients.
Show creator Aaron Korsh revealed that Mike and Harvey will go through hell when "Suits" comes back from its holiday hiatus. While Harvey will attempt to free Mike, he will find out that the case is a difficult one, Day Herald reports.
It can be remembered that Mike got detained just when he has decided to turn over a new leaf and begin his life with a clean slate. His arrest will have a ripple effect on the firm because it will shake up their reputation. He will also be the center of a probe that could topple the firm, especially since everybody knew about Mike's secret and yet still allowed him to work for them, the report explains.
Aside from that, Gibbs will warn that any attempt to get Mike out of prison will not succeed. Korsh also said fans will be shocked once they discover who sold Mike out.
"Suits" season 5 episode 11 is set to air on Wednesday, Jan. 27 in the United States.
