10 Things to Know About Suits Season 4 Premiere “One-Two-Three Go”

The season four premiere of Suits is just around the corner.

The show makes a return to USA Network from Wednesday June 11, kicking off with “One-Two-Three Go” which, in case you’re wondering, is something which is uttered by one of our favorite characters in the episode’s closing moments.

This premiere introduces a collection of new talent in recurring guest stars Michael Gross (Family Ties), DB Woodside (Parenthood), Melanie Papalia (The Newsroom) and Brendan Hines (Lie to Me) in addition to setting up some intriguing plot lines for the season ahead.

We’re fresh off a viewing of the premiere, thanks to our friends at USA, and we’re dying to share some scoop. As usual, we’re not going to outright spoil you (sorry spoiler hunters!) but instead toss some clues, make some general references and try to give you an idea of what to expect. Brace yourselves. Did you know that …

1. … Breaking Up is Hard to Do

The premiere episode sees Mike and Harvey at odds in a way we have never seen before … and this is just the beginning of a new and more adult relationship between our former BFFs. Expect the events of “One-Two-Three Go” to have repercussions that will echo throughout episodes to come. And we don’t say that lightly. We’re both appalled and excited to see where this goes but we’re definitely along for the ride.

2. Risk the One to Have the Other

Jessica has a problem that Harvey is all too familiar with. But when she comes to him for advice, there’s more than a little Perason/Specter sexual tension in the air between our named partners. Guess who’s picturing who naked? No matter who you ship, you’ll love this scene.

3. Size Matters

In ties that is. Now that he’s working for the flashy Sidwell Investment Group, the size of Mike’s tie knot has … swelled to new and impressive proportions.  Trust Donna to put him firmly in his place though – “Mr Peanut called and he said he’d be happy to lend you his top hat.” 

But Mike is not the only one suffering taunts over his size. Mike’s new PA Amy (we like her already) breezily announces Harvey as “Johnny Fat Tie.”

4. All In a Day’s Work

Having those all important documents and details to hand, throwing compliments and even fetching lunch and coffee. Yes Mike is bending over backwards to anticipate his new PA’s every need. Did we mention how much we already like Amy?

5. Prunie?

Louis just invented it. Want a sip? We thought not.

6. Donna is Always Right

You know the way Donna is ALWAYS right? Well, now Harvey does too. Darvey fans can expect a couple of nice moments between Donna and Harvey including an apology. Actually, Donna’s not the only person Harvey finds himself having to apologize to this episode. If only he had listened to Donna in the first place.

7. Everyone’s Doing it

The opening scene sees not one but four of our cast the morning after the night before. You can probably guess who at least two of our up all night to get lucky quartet are, but who do you think sneaks away in the early a.m. leaving only a note on a pillow?

8. Waiting For the Pretty Girl to Call

Expect to see some great scenes between Louis and his girl Friday, Katrina after Louis takes advice from Harvey and waits for the pretty girl to call him first. And no, we’re not talking a romantic interest here but a matter closer to Louis’ heart right now. But as Louis waits for that all important call, it appears important decisions are being made all around him. Time to pick up that phone, Louis.

9. Bye Bye Scottie

Were you very attached to Harvey’s love interest last season? Because it appears Scottie is definitely a thing of the past … if that other woman in Harvey’s bed is an accurate barometer.

10. Go Faster Stripes

When you love a show, there’s a tendency to want to write up every episode, even when it’s a little sub-par (*cough* Hessington Oil *cough*). That said, the season 4 premiere is, in our very honest opinion, the best opener the show has seen to date.

Exactly what can fans expect from “One-Two-Three Go”? Higher stakes for one, along with a maturing of the relationship between Harvey and Mike, and a harder sexier edge to proceedings. Throw in a heap of classic banter and one shot zingers (We’re looking at you Donna) from our favorite characters along with that trademark so-sharp-you-could-cut-yourself Suits dialogue, and the season ahead has win written all over it.

Suits season 4 premieres Wednesday, June 11 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on USA.
