Watch Suits season 5 episode 8 live online: Louis to sue Harvey? Mike's ex girlfriend Claire returns

The tension between Harvey and Louis rises and Mike's ex girlfriend Claire returns in Suits season 5 episode 8, which airs this Wednesday, 12 August.

Reports suggest, Louis intends to sue Harvey for assault battery following their ugly spat in last week's episode. However, the synopsis teases that Jessica might intervene and do some "damage control".

Meanwhile, actress Trojan Bellisario from Pretty Little Liars will return as Claire in the 12 August episode entitled Mea Culpa. In the episode, Clarie will be an opposing counsel in one of Mike's cases.

Bellisario recently spoke to TV Fanatic about her return to Suits. She says that Claire re-emerging in Mike's life is not a good thing for him. It might create some issues between him and Rachel as well.

"When we first saw her she was working immigration law and she's working her way up the ranks and now we see she's getting a lot of power quickly. It's also Mike's first case as a partner and I'm the one he's paired up against so he cannot meet with me because I'm the one person outside of his circle of trust that knows his secret," Bellisario claims.

The synopsis for episode 8 reads, "Jessica performs damage control following the Harvey-Louis incident; and Donna counsels the men on how to solve their issues. Mike, meanwhile, searches for a way to turn down his announced promotion without raising suspicion."

Suits season 5, episode 8 titled Mea Culpa airs on 12 August at 9pm ET on USA Network.
