In my wishlist for the “Suits” season finale I hoped that Rachel (Meghan Markle) finds her way to Columbia Law School and forgets about Stanford. Unfortunately, us Rachel/Mike (Patrick J. Adams) shippers hoping she stays in New York, may be in for some bad news.
"I will say that Rachel's decision for law school changes the game tremendously for Rachel and certainly for Mike," Markle said according to EOnline. "There is a tease for you!"
This “decision” could mean one of two things:
No. 1—Rachel leaves for Stanford, forcing her and Mike to attempt a long distance relationship. The relationship will be frustrating, she or Mike may cheat, and then there’s no more “Machel”
No. 2—Rachel stays and things seem to go well at first but then she hates Mike for keeping her from her dream. They’re both frustrated and it ends badly.
Hopefully Markle’s comments to Entertainment Weekly in August hold true and neither of my two theories take place.
She told the magazine that the “Suits” team was “planning on breaking up [Rachel and Mike] at episode 10.”
“I know that it has now been completely restructured and re-conceived because they are enjoying Mike and Rachel as a couple too much,” Markle continued. “They don’t want to do it.
“If it took us two seasons to try to figure out if we could make it work, then maybe they take that time and really give us an opportunity to have something.”
Let’s hope Rachel and Mike can find a way to get past this and “make it work” once more.
The Suits summer finale airs Tuesday, Sept. 16 at 10/9c on USA Network.
