Why did you decide to not have a time jump?
AARON KORSH:I wanted to pick up right where we left off.
Mikes in prison, how are we going to deal with that?
What image do I want to come back to?
I didnt want to do a time jump and I didnt want to miss his first night.
It was almost like a play.
Youve got one small play in the prison and another small play in the office.
The season premiere was also very funny, whereas season six was missingSuits usual humor.
Going into this season, how did you decide to bring back the humor?
Ive done a lot of thinking about it over the years.
It was just essentially, for lack of a better word, like when someone has cancer.
Its hard to laugh too much.
It just didnt seem to tonally go with what we were doing in the back six.
Its part of the show.
Louis, Harvey, and Jessica smoking together was one of the funniest moments of the episode.
How did you conceive of that scene to help them reconcile?
(Also, I think theysmoke pot inThe Breakfast Club).
But, basically, Jessica decides as a leader, We need to do something weve never done before.
We need to come together and we need to smoke pot.
That was sort of how they came to it in the show.
How did you decide that it would be in character for Jessica to have her own pot stash?
I dont know if you know this, but we used to do these webisodes.
(We stopped doing them for budgetary reasons).
We reveal at the end that theyre high, and I think we reveal it was Jessicas pot.
Most people do something in their character that you would not get if you didnt know it.
I think its one of those character revelatory moments about Jessica thats interesting and fun.
Will Harvey and Louis reconciliation last for the rest of the season?
Or, will Louis continue to be Louis?
Theres probably more moments of them being on the same page relative to their conflict.
That ratio is probably better than it has ever been before.
What kind of threat does Frank pose to Mike?
I think well find that hes capable of physical and mental intimidation and harassment.
Mike is going to have to deal with that.
Its the primary driving force of the season and somewhat for Harvey.
Solving the lawsuit cant be that easy, right?
