'Suits' Sneak Peek: Harvey and Donna Talk Harvey's Faith in Mike

The penultimate episode of Suits’ fifth season, airing tonight, is called “Tick Tock,” and that’s because as Mike’s trial continues, the clock is winding down on his chance to control his fate.

We saw in last week’s episode that Harvey (Gabriel Macht) finally agreed that the jury needs to see Mike (Patrick J. Adams) as a lawyer, which means he’s ready for Mike to represent himself. From the exclusive sneak peek above, with Harvey and Donna (Sarah Rafferty) discussing the closing argument Mike is writing, we know Harvey and Mike find a way to make that switch happen.

The hour will be another nail-biter as AUSA Anita Gibbs (Leslie Hope) continues her manipulation inside and out of the courtroom, and Harvey struggles to remain as confident as he seems in that clip.

Come back to Yahoo TV after the episode airs for a postmortem with Macht. In the meantime, he lightens the mood with the story of a blooper from filming that moment in episode 512, “Live to Fight,” when Harvey had to tell Rachel (Meghan Markle) and Mike that “Sheila Sazs came forward”: “All I had to do was walk into a room where Mike and Rachel are talking and say, ‘Sheila Sazs came forward,’ and, I’m not kidding, I probably did it 30 times because I couldn’t stop laughing. You try saying ‘Sheila Sazs came forward.’ I don’t know what to say. I just couldn’t do it,” Macht says. “At one point, I had to take both of the actors out of the scene. I was talking to chairs.“
