As much as fans were excited to see how things would unfold in season nine of Suits, it's fair to say that the second episode of the season certainly didn't pull any punches. The episode, entitled 'Special Master', sees the aftermath of the previous episode's seismic shift in power, with Samantha being ousted from the firm by Robert Zane's surprise arrival.

The episode's plot primarily revolves around a hearing to determine the culpability of the senior partners in the recent scandal involving the Zane Specter Litt firm. Facing disbarment and potentially devastating consequences, Harvey and Louis team up with a court-appointed "special master" to try and clear their names and stem the damage caused by the scandal.

The special master in question, Faye Richardson, is a former US Attorney from Texas who takes her role seriously and doesn't take kindly to those who seek to undermine her authority. She's a no-nonsense character who immediately makes it clear that she has little patience for any hint of game-playing or subterfuge. As a result, when Harvey and Louis attempt to use their charm and legal nous to influence the outcome of the hearing, they quickly discover that Faye is not someone to underestimate.

The hearing itself is a tense affair, with numerous witnesses testifying for and against the senior partners. Tensions run high, with Harvey and Louis having to navigate the complexities of the courtroom without overstepping the mark and antagonising the special master. Meanwhile, the rest of the team at Zane Specter Litt work feverishly behind the scenes to gather evidence and build a solid case.

Alongside the continuing fallout from the scandal, we also see several subplots progress during the episode. Donna attempts to reach out to Samantha and offer her support in her time of need, while Katrina struggles to balance her loyalty to her colleagues with her sense of personal responsibility. Meanwhile, Alex struggles with his own demons and tries to make amends for past mistakes.

Overall, 'Special Master' is a gripping episode that offers plenty of drama and intrigue. Viewers are kept on the edge of their seats throughout, with the fear of disaster looming large over every scene. The interplay between the characters continues to be the show's strongest asset, with the writing and performances consistently engaging. While the outcome of the hearing itself remains hanging in the balance at the end of the episode, it's clear that the consequences of the scandal are only just beginning to be felt.
