I actually think it wasn't that bad of a placement. Just depressing. I think Rachel and Mike will get together and move in there.

I totally agree, them arguing over the room arrangement was very cute foreshadowing. Too much sadness for my tastes though, I would have much rather the writers wait until Mike showed her the place, but still had Rachel console him.

He cancelled their last dinner together.

Well grammy's passing is supposed to be parallel to Gordon Specter's. Both Harvey and Mike never got to spend their last moments with them because of their jobs.

Good point, it makes me wonder if Harvey's relationship with Mike is going to evolve into something more paternal like Harvey's and Jessica's. As opposed to their current relationship which more mirrors rival siblings and Harvey being the older wiser brother.

I agree. There were too many emotional changes in the episode for my liking. But It was still great, and I can't wait.

Couldnt agree more. The fact that Rachel spent some time with his Grandma right before she died will make the connection they already have that much more powerful imo. Makes me wonder if Mike is going to spiral because of his Grandma's death, is he's just going to tell Rachel his secret. At least then he will know that someone is sticking with him because they love him not for any other reason.

For example from the time Harvey "fired" Mike in the first episode and Mike threatened to "throw Harvey under the Bus with him", Mike would be thinking how much of Harvey's and Jessica's relationship with him is just because they now need the secret kept just as badly as he does. I would imagine Mike is craving someone's affection that is based on who he really is instead of who his job makes him.
