Donna had the misfortune of incurring the full wrath of Louis' anger when he discovered Mike's secret. His reign of terror will continue when "Suits" season four continues on Wednesday night.
"We pick up moments later," Sarah Rafferty, who plays Donna, tells Headlines & Global News. "Our writers don't shy away from dealing with the repercussions. They get right into it."
Once Louis received confirmation from Donna that Mike had never graduated from Harvard Law School, he stormed into Jessica's (Gina Torres) office and made one major demand to keep his mouth shut - becoming a named partner. His new bargaining chip will "change the dynamics" at Pearson Specter... and perhaps Litt.
"Louis goes on a bit of a rampage when he gets back," Rafferty says. "At the end of episode 10, he was really taking it out on Donna and Jessica but his wrath is going to have a ripple effect throughout the whole firm and affect everybody in unique ways."
Life experience won't be the only thing past Donna lacks. Her bank account at that time wouldn't allow her to afford the same designer threads that she fills her closet with now.
"When I went in for my fitting on that episode, Jolie [Andreatt, the costume designer] and I had to have a laugh because we were like, 'Okay, we cannot deny that Donna was not in the same income bracket 12 years ago," Rafferty laughs. "It's just a totally different world. It's fun going back to the moment before with these characters."
In between the flashbacks and Louis' rage, Donna could find a possible romance before the season closes. Rafferty is keeping positive thoughts and says to "stay tuned."
"Suits" returns for the final six episodes of season four on Wednesday, Jan. 28 at 9 p.m. on USA.
