Mike Ross and Rachel Zane are arguably the best couples on the show ‘Suits‘. But as life gets hard for Rachel, her character played by Meghan Markle ends up making a bad decision that the show’s fans have harshly labeled as cheating.
In fact, the episode in which it happens has also been named after the incident. Season 4 Episode 7 titled “We’re Done,” marks a defining point for the relationship that Mike and Rachel share on the show.
Why Does Rachel Cheat On Mike?
Rachel Zane has been shown to be in a committed relationship with Mike Ross. However, when things get rough for her on all fronts including her professional, personal, and romantic life, she happens to share a fleeting kiss with one of her colleagues.
Rachel gets involved with one of her clients Logan Sanders, played by Brendan Hines on the show. Their chemistry limits to harmless flirting until in a fleeting moment, the two end up kissing each other.
The moment was a disappointment to many fans, and the show’s plot grew rather interesting after the kiss. Even as anticipation grew over what Rachel would do next, she took her fans as well as her boyfriend Mike aback by confessing to having kissed Logan.
