Donna confronted Harvey and told him she felt nothing when she kissed him, but Harvey was still upset she'd made him a cheater. Harvey decided to tell Paula — two days after the kiss happened — and she was understandably upset he'd asked her to move in with him right after locking lips with Donna.
It's at that time they both admit they love each other but still don't get together. It's not until the end of Season 8 that they both feel free and empowered to pursue this unspoken thing between them that was always there from even before the beginning of “Suits.” So, why are they the real best couple on the show?
Season 7, episode 10
The mid-season finale of season seven put Donna and Harvey at an important crossroads in their relationship. This came to a head when Donna confronted him in the final few moments and kissed him. Finally admitting how she feels for him, she says to him “I'm sorry, Harvey.
The power couple of "Suits" aren't even a couple until eight seasons in, and they don't even share their first onscreen kiss until season seven! After an all-important conversation about love with her friends, Donna realizes that she's been ignoring what she feels for Harvey for too long.
“Harvey” (Season 8, Episode 16)
Finally. Enough said. (If that's not, then Harvey finally realized what everyone had been telling him for years — how much Donna means to him — and did something about it.)
Harvey loves her and trusts her absolutely. He relies upon her and views her as essential to his being. As he told Jessica in "All In," Donna is irreplaceable. Donna, in turn, adores Harvey and is incredibly loyal to him, to the point where she would take a bullet for him.
Harvey proceeded to take out his frustrations on Donna at work, booting her from meetings and embarrassing her during an interview with a potential senior partner. Donna confronted Harvey and told him she felt nothing when she kissed him, but Harvey was still upset she'd made him a cheater.
After eight seasons, 124 episodes, and countless tension-filled moments, it finally happened. And by it, we obviously mean Darvey. In the USA legal drama's season 8 finale, Donna (Sarah Rafferty) and Harvey (Gabriel Macht) finally went there.
Rather than letting a good wedding go to waste, Harvey decides to pop the question to Donna and asks her to marry him. Rather than making fans wonder if the pair follow through with the wedding, Donna and Harvey get married right then and there in a moment fitting for the end of the series.
In the finale of season 8, Harvey is able to realise his feelings for Donna and they kiss with all their pent up feelings and emotions. The series ends with the pair getting married.
Since they are no longer working together, Harvey goes to Donna's apartment and they have sex. The next day, Harvey tells Donna that he would like for her to work for him at Pearson Hardman, and she accepts, although she states that they are never again to discuss their night together.

In the end, Daniel is fired, Jessica is brought back as managing partner and Donna is reinstated as Harvey's assistant. Throughout all this turmoil, Louis is becoming more and more unhappy with the firm, going so far as to meet with partners at rival law firms. But he's not the only one looking for a change.
For Harvey Specter on Suits that woman was typically Donna Paulsen (Sarah Rafferty). However, for the real-life man behind the character, Gabriel Macht, that's his wife and fellow actress, Jacinda Barrett.
At the end of Season 4, after working for nearly 13 years together, Donna quits being Harvey's assistant and is now working for Louis. She decided this because her relationship with Harvey is not working for her. Louis also said to her in a conversation that Harvey is unaware how lucky he is to have Donna.
While everyone waited to hear from Louis and Sheila, Harvey impulsively and romantically proposed to Donna (Sarah Rafferty), and the two of them got married immediately.
Ultimately, Mike Ross became a real lawyer in Suits thanks to a last-minute save from an ally. The USA Network's legal drama ran for nine seasons and wrapped up in 2019. It followed the lives of the supposed best closers in New York City as they navigate the corporate law while also dealing with their personal woes.
At the end of the season: Louis marries Sheila, Sheila gives birth to their baby, Harvey marries Donna, and they move to be with Mike and Rachel in Seattle. Louis makes Katrina a name partner and remains to lead the firm, now known as Litt Wheeler Williams Bennett.
Although she avoided jail time, Donna has left Harvey after more than a decade of working together. She is now working for his long-time rival Louis. And while Jessica readjusts to being single, Mike and Rachel are giddy after his marriage proposal.
One of the most compelling (via Quora) is that the can opener was a willing audience on whom to practice opening statements. In Suits season 9 episode 9, "Thunder Away", Donna tells Harvey to practice his statement on her rather than the can opener, so this theory could very well be correct.
Donna ended the midseason finale by kissing Harvey full on the mouth. "I'm sorry Harvey, but I just needed to know," she said post lip-lock and left the office. The second half of the season picked up mere seconds after the intimate encounter with Harvey reeling from the interaction.
Michael James "Mike" Ross is a former lawyer and junior partner at Specter Litt, a former legal consultant/supervisor at the Eastside Legal Clinic and a former investment banker at Sidwell Investment Group. He is the husband of Rachel Zane.
Dr. Paula Agard is a therapist whom Harvey Specter began to see after he began to have panic attacks due to Donna Paulsen leaving him to work for Louis Litt. She later begins a relationship with Harvey in season 7 which ends after she makes him choose between her and Donna.
Donna has figured out that what she wants is a seat at the table as a senior partner. She uses the situation with Louis to prove to Harvey that she deserves it after all these years of being a key person in running the firm without getting credit.
Donna and Harvey spend their first night together as a couple (second overall), but decide on holding off on telling their colleagues until the fall-out of Robert's disbarment has been settled.
