Summary: Harvey finds his past coming back to haunt him during a case when a
Judge treats him unfairly in court for sleeping with his wife. However,
it soon become clear that’s not entirely true. Meanwhile, Mike is faced
with an ethical dilemma when Louis forces him to do something that
could hurt his and Harvey’s relationship, in order to secure a new high
profile client.

Mike and Harvey are representing Wy-

att, a venture capitalist who invented a
satellite phone that fits in a pocket. In-
stead of sitting in on the high-stakes in-
vestor meeting, Harvey tells Mike to file
the patent update. Mike takes a short cut
by getting a fellow associate, Gregory, to
help file the patent update in exchange
for proofing Gregory’s active brief. But
the brief turns out to be thousands of
pages long. To make matters worse, when
Mike doesn’t finish the brief after an all-
nighter, Gregory doesn’t follow through
with filing the patent update. And Har-
vey is steamed when he finds out that an-
other party has beaten Mike to the chase by filing the patent first.
But it’s not just Mike who is making the multi-million dollar investment sale harder than it
has to be. After harsh penalties are brought against Harvey for showing up late to court and
using a cell phone, Harvey confronts the honorable Judge Pearl with questions about this rash
hostility. Back in the judge’s quarters, Harvey goes pale when Pearl tells him he doesn’t like him
professionally or personally because Harvey slept with his wife.
Now, both Mike and Harvey must do damage control by heading off their patent opponent
with a high-risk interference claim and also by confronting the judge’s wife who might not be as
honest as she looks.

Summary: When a pro-bono case comes up, Mike is eager to take it on; but he
soon finds that it won’t be that easy to win. Jessica struggles to stay
detached from a client that Harvey is defending, as it’s someone she
knows from her past.

Harvey finds out that a class action suit

has been filed against his firm’s newest
client, Quentin Sainz. It turns out Sainz’s
company made a drug that extends the
lives of ALS sufferers (Lou Gehrig’s Dis-
ease), but a small number of users claim
the drug caused liver failure. Harvey is re-
luctant to take on the class action suit
because he assumes there’s no way they
can win, but Jessica reassures him by re-
vealing that she knows and trusts Sainz
because he used to be her husband.
After razzing Jessica about her mar-
riage, Harvey tells her to stay out of his
way if he’s going to successfully defend
this client. Taking the reigns, Mike and
Harvey head into negotiations and are
blindsided with a $250 million lawsuit from the victims’ ambulance-chasing lawyer, Collin
Church. Sainz scoffs at the number and Harvey tells the slimy lawyer that there’s no chance
they’ll be receiving that kind of settlement. Now, if Harvey and Mike are going to make their
much smaller offer stick, they’ll need to find out how effective this medicine really is.
Meanwhile, Mike takes on his own pro bono case for the first time. Mike meets his client
Frank, who is being pressured out of his apartment by a landlord who won’t take care of a
bed bug infestation, among an assortment of other problems. Mike takes charge and has the
bureaucratic City Housing Preservation office take a look at the problem. But when Mike strolls
into his first court case, he could be in for a big wake-up call.

Summary: Harvey and Mike work to save a woman wrongly accused of insider
trading. Mike helps Rachel study for the LSAT, only to find out she is
on the brink of discovering his closely guarded secret.

The scene opens with Becky and Harvey

talking and she is not happy with the
deal. She tells that he has to have Ms.
Stone sign an important document. Har-
vey walks out and meets Mike in the hall.
He asks if he can stand in and he says
that he can. Rachel walks by and Mike
pretends to be in an intellectual talk with
Harvey which she ignores. Harvey and
Mike meet with Gabby Stone and Harvey
tells her that they have made a deal to re-
duce her sentence to 11 months from the
Department of Justice’s original deal of 7
years. Her crime is profiting on a $10 Mil-
lion stock that turned out to be an illegal
Trade. She says that she didn’t know that
it was illegal, but her employer says dif-
ferently. She tells that she doesn’t have the resources to fight this and accepts the proposal that
Harvey is presenting, but she is not going to thank anyone. Harvey and Mike walk out with their
clients and they thank him for reaching a deal that ends this. He says that it is no problem and
tells Mike to watch her as Gabby’s lawyer and he sign the paperwork.
Mike goes into the room where Gabby is and she asks if he is worried that she is going to
sign the deal or not. She tells that her father had his funding cut and that she was going to go
to Wall Street to see if she couldn’t make money before going to be a teacher. Now she is going
to have to worry if felons are allowed to teach. Mike offers to get her a glass of water. In the
hall, Mike meets Rachel and asks who her friend was. She tells that she is Teresa and she says
that she is trying to get an internship. However, their talk is interrupted when Mike realizes that
Gabby took off. Harvey goes into the office and Mike says that he is sorry. He shows that she left
behind her cell phone. Harvey says that he has to go talk to the DOJ and smooth things over.
Gabby’s phone gets a text and it says that a guy named Bradley wants to meet up with her at
the Hudson. Harvey talks to Becky of the DOJ and she says that she is going to go after Harvey’s
clients. However, he says that the case against them is no-existent now. They just have to find
Gabby and everything will be fine. Harvey asks where Mike went off to.

 Suits Episode Guide

Meanwhile, Mike meets Bradley Regar at the basketball court and Bradley asks if he is from
the DOJ. Mike hints around it, but doesn’t really say that he is. He asks where Gabby went
and he tells that she went back to the company that is pressing charges on her. He thanks him
and walks away. Mike calls Harvey and they meet up at the building. However, they find Gabby
in the back room trying to find her ’Tip Sheet’ that told her about the stocks. Mike tells that
Gabby isn’t guilty because her actions don’t point towards that. Mike asks how Rachel’s friend,
Teresa’s, internship went and she tells that she didn’t get it. She says that she is going to be a
paralegal because she can’t pass the LSATS. Mike sits down and his colleagues tease him about
losing Gabby. Louis comes up and asks what they are talking about and says that they don’t
tease employees even if they are incompetent. He has one of the employees come to his office
and he tells them that he is to pick up his phone when he calls no matter what. Louis sees two
tickets to King Lear. Meanwhile, Harvey is talking to Jessica and tells that there is something
going on with Gabby’s case. Louis comes in and asks when they are going to get dinner. Jessica
is shocked, but says that she will have dinner with him.
Later, Harvey meets with Dean, the owner of the company that has the charges against Gabby
and says that there are some things that don’t match up. He says that he wants to look around
and Dean says that he can. Mike shows Rachel the LSATS book and tells her that he can help
her study. She agrees to allow him to help her. Mike and Harvey go to the Trader’s and talk
to Sam, the head manager, and he says that he doesn’t feel bad about Gabby’s case and says
that he mentored her. Mike looks at Gabby’s desk and finds a picture. He puts it in his suit
coat. Meanwhile, Harvey talks to Sam about the ’Tip Sheet’ and there are electronic copies and
he gives them up. However, when Harvey asks about the Trades for the year, he denies and
threatens Harvey that he will bury him, but Harvey fights back and tells that he will take Sam
down if he wants to fight back. Mike is impressed with Harvey and the way he fought back in the
argument. However, Harvey is not happy with that because they need the Trades. Later, Mike
tutors Rachel on her LSATS and she isn’t happy that she is not going to get every question right.
Mike says that no one gets every question right. He says that Rachel can afford to let a few trick
questions go and tells about his experience with Achievement Tests and that there is no 100%
on it.
Harvey teases Jessica that she likes King Lear and Jessica says that everything doesn’t have
to be about ’Top Gun’. Later, Burt Kimble comes over and gives the Trades to Harvey, but he
throws them away and says that Burt is hiding something and tells that Mike is going to have
to get the lists to the Trades. Later that evening, Mike calls Harvey and says that he is going
to a bar where the Traders like to go to. He gets there and recognizes Vince Landis and other
people too. He walks up to Vince and tells that he knows him. Vince buys it and they start talking
about their best Trades that they made that were not authorized. Bradley Regar comes in and
Mike leaves quickly. He calls Harvey and tells him that he has the list and that he is coming
over. A drunken Mike knocks on Harvey’s door and Harvey takes the lists and says goodnight.
Meanwhile, Rachel has dinner with Teresa and asks how she turned it around with the LSATS.
Teresa says that she paid a guy $1,000 to take the LSATS for her. Mike gets a call from his friend
Scott who says that he has a customer for him. He asks the girl’s name and Scott says that it is
Rachel. He says that he isn’t going to take it.
The next day, Mike and Harvey visit Gabby in jail and show the lists of Trades. They realize
that they are all under $10 Million. However, when Gabby had a $10 Million Trade, it was flagged
by the DOJ. She says that she suspected something and went to Burt Kimble and he said that
everything was fine with the Trade. Mike calls Scott and tells him to tell Rachel that he will take
her as a client. In the car, Harvey wants to look at Gabby’s lawyer because things don’t match
up. Mike drafts up everything that Harvey is going to need quickly and says that he cares about
Gabby. Later, Rachel is in the park and Mike meets up with her. She asks what he is doing there
and he says that he wanted to clear his head. She says that she is there for the pretzels. Mike
tells that he is thinking of Gabby and how she made one mistake and now it is costing her life.
Meanwhile, Harvey goes to Nick’s office, Gabby’s lawyer, and asks how much Burt paid him. He
tries to deny it, but when Harvey threatens the involvement of the DOJ, he gives in. Harvey goes
up to Dean and tells that he has to get rid of Burt because he is a cancer. Burt tries to defend
himself, but Harvey says that he was giving illegal ’Tip Sheets’. However, Dean says that Burt is
fired and Harvey says that the DOJ is coming for him and that he will get more time. Dean tells
that he didn’t know anything about this and Harvey says that it is his job to know.

Gabby the picture and she thanks them again. Later at dinner, Louis tells that he had fun with
Jessica. She tells that Louis is a great worker and tells that Harvey and him need to stop the
rivalry and she says that Harvey is a bigger asset to the firm, but Louis is a listener. Harvey
thanks Jessica is for the Yankee Game tickets, but she tells that they are for him and Louis.
Mike goes home and Rachel thanks him for going out of his way for the LSATS. He says that it
is alright and he says that he made the right choice to hold off on taking the LSATS. However,
Rachel figures out that Mike is the ’Test Genius’. Mike admits it and she tells that she can’t
believe that he would do that and leaves. He tries to tell her that is not the whole story.

Summary: Harvey and Louis are forced to work together to go after an invest-
ment firm that ripped off a nonprofit. But Louis, anxious to make a
good impression, inadvertently hurts the case. Elsewhere, Mike tries
to contain a modern-day Robin Hood whose actions are damaging a
client’s business.

The scene opens with Jessica and Har-

vey going up to Lucille Jackson of ’Sta-
ble Shelters’, a company who lost all
their money for investing in Anthony Ma-
zlo’s company. Harvey tells Lucille that
he is working on it to get her a settle-
ment worth while. Jessica tells that Har-
vey is imposing Elliot Perkins, Mazlo’s
right hand man today. Meanwhile, the
paralegals are going over Lucille’s case
and Mike laughs of the receipts that Ma-
zlo has for Greece. Rachael laughs and
says that her first time was in Greece.
Louis comes over and tells them that they
are to work, not giggle and flirt. Harvey
comes in and says that he needs Mike
to come because Jerome Jensen is there
and he needs him. Louis tries to put his foot down, but it doesn’t work. Harvey and Mike meet
with him and he says that he is worried about his daughter. He shows a fake ID that Lola had and
says that he needs them to check into it. Louis comes up to Donna and says that Harvey needs
to be deposing Elliot Perkins and tries to interrupt his meeting. Donna stops him by mentioning
a day only he knew about. He folds and leaves.
Louis decides to start to deposition by himself and starts drilling into Perkins like he is a high-
security criminal. His lawyer tries to stop the attack and Perkins asks for a break, but Louis says
that he can’t have it. Meanwhile, Mike says that Lola looks sweet, but Harvey says that she is
not as sweet as she looks. He says that he is busy with the Mazlo case and asks Mike to take
this one. He agrees. Harvey walks through the hall to find that Perkins is getting wheeled out on
a stretcher. Harvey goes up to Robert, Mazlo’s attorney, and asks what happened. He tells him
to ask Louis. Harvey goes into Louis’ office and asks about Perkins. Louis says that he couldn’t
take the pressure and is faking a condition. Harvey gets a text that says that Perkins wasn’t

faking anything. They go into Jessica’s office and she is not happy. However, Louis tells that
Perkins deserved it. Jessica tells that she needs to talk to Harvey alone. He leaves and Jessica
tells Harvey that he is going to have to work with Louis on this case without fighting about it.
Mike comes up to Harvey and tells that the name is an employee of Clarity Drilling, the
same company that Jerome owns. Harvey says that he is not interested, he just wants it fixed.
Mike asks if Louis really killed a guy and Harvey sees that the rumor has already been started
spearheaded by Louis himself of course. Harvey goes to his office to find that Louis is there. He is
looking at Harvey’s records and says that he is missing classics. Harvey asks what he wants and
Louis says that he is trying to build up a report with him. Louis says that he wants to lie about
what Perkins said. Harvey says that they are holding off on all meetings, despite what Louis
thinks. Mike goes up to Lola and tells that forging a government document is hard to do. He tries
to tell that her father is concerned and that she has to return the money that she has stolen.
She shows Mike why she did it and says that the water that they are supplying has harmful
chemicals in it. Mike realizes that the company that Lola created was Locksley LLC, just like
Robin of Locksley or Robin Hood. She tells that she is not giving the money back, she is going to
give it away.
Harvey goes to Rachel for more information and Louis walks in and says that Rachel is his
paralegal. Louis tells that Mazlo and Robert are in the conference room. Harvey realizes that
Mazlo knows that he has an advantage and he is pushing it. They meet with Mazlo and Robert
and they ask to settle the case for $15 Million. However, they don’t accept it and tell them to leave.
After the meeting, Harvey says that based on what Mazlo gave them, it shows that Perkins was
innocent. Harvey sits down with Lucille and Jessica. He tells that Mazlo is offering $15 Million,
but they are not going to take it. Lucille tells that is a lot of money and says that if she doesn’t
jump on it, she will lose her business. Harvey says that he is not going to let Mazlo win. Jessica
tells that they are waiving their fee to show that they are going to get her a better settlement.
Louis has the paralegals get down to trying picking Mazlo’s empire apart and tells Mike that he
is going to be working on the Mazlo case. However, Mike tells that he answers to Harvey.
Mike goes up to Harvey and asks for his corporate credit card. Harvey says that if it smells
like stripper, then he is fired. Mike takes Lola to Jerome and she asks why he is there. He says
that they have apologized for contaminating the water. He tells Lola that she is a thief and tells
that she is a criminal. Mike tries to calm the situation, but Lola walks away. Jerome asks if they
paid the money back and he says that the money is irrevelant and says that he needs to fix their
relationship. Later, Harvey visits Mrs. Perkins and says that he wants to bring Mazlo to justice.
He tells that he needs to know what Perkins to him. Suddenly Louis comes up and she slaps
Louis. She tells Harvey that the deal is off. Harvey is upset that he came and he says that he
was trying to say sorry and Harvey says that he just cost them a witness. Later that night, Lola
comes to Mike’s apartment and tells him that he better back off her or she will reveal that he is
a fake lawyer and that Harvard has no record of him graduating.
The next day, Harvey tells Mike that Lola is just trying to distract him. Meanwhile, Louis goes
up to Mazlo’s assistant and asks her to roll on Mazlo. He says that he will make it worth her
while. She says that she will. She meets with Harvey and Louis and gives details of accounts in
Dubai. Mike meets with Jerome and says that he is the problem of repairing his relationship with
his daughter. He tells that his daughter is an adult and if she is not going to return the money,
then he is going to have to press charges. Meanwhile, Harvey and Louis meet with Robert and
tell that they know about the paper trail to Dubai. However, Robert reveals that the assistant was
lying and that Louis offered her a job as assistant to Jessica. Harvey is upset that Louis did this
and even more upset when they decrease the settlement by half. They go to Jessica and Harvey
says that Louis brought Jessica’s name into it. Harvey says that he needs time without Louis.
She gives him until the end of the day. She tells that if Louis tries to bring her name into it again,
he will be fired. Mike goes into Harvey’s office and says that Jerome is ready to pull the trigger.
He tells Harvey that they should have hacked Harvard to protect him and says that he has to fix
his case.
Mike goes up to Lola and tells that she needs to look at a company that is in danger and
rather then trying to bring down her father’s company. She goes to Harvey’s office with Mike and
says that there are banks that could have Mazlo’s money, but they can’t find it. Jessica comes in
and says that they need an expert on Financial Crime and that means that he is going to have to
talk with Louis. Harvey finds him at a shooting range. He asks for Louis’ help. Louis gets down to

the case and asks about what could possibly be the account where Mazlo would hide his money
in. They find it without any problems hidden in multiple accounts. They sit down with Robert
and Mazlo and tell that they found it and ask for the money and Mazlo’s resignation. Harvey says
that if Lucille doesn’t get her money back today, the deal is off. Harvey gets congratulated for a
good job and he tells that Louis helped a lot. Louis sees Harvey hug Lucille and she walks away.
Louis goes up to him and asks why he cut him out. Harvey says that he didn’t take the credit for
what he did, but says that Louis’ problem is that he would do it. Lola comes up and gives Mike
a diploma from Harvey and she shows that he is protected now. He thanks her and she walks
away. Rachel walks by and asks who she is. Mike tells that she gave him two tickets to Greece.
She laughs and the episode ends.

Summary: An undefeated lawyer’s shady tactics keep him one step ahead of Har-
vey, who must decide if he’s willing to compromise his ethics to win
the case. Meanwhile, Mike must defend Rachel from accusations of
treason.

The scene opens with Rachel yelling at

Mike to stop and he almost bumps into
a coffee tray, but moves away just in
time. She compliments his quick ’balle-
rina’ moves and he says that he used to
wrestle. Rachel laughs and says that she
can’t picture him fighting anyone. Mike
tells that he could take her down, but
she tells that he would be looking at her
in tights and tells him that she is not
wearing any underwear. Rachel goes to
Mrs. Williams, a client along with oth-
ers who are involved in a lawsuit against
an oil company. Mike comes up and Mrs.
Williams asks if they drew the short straw
and have to deal with the oil company
case. A man comes up to Mike and asks
to go to Harvey’s office. Mike points him to it. Meanwhile, Jessica is in a deposition with the Oil
Company getting sued for not capping an oil tank and giving cancer to a town. The star witness,
Kenny, talks and says that he has lung cancer. The lawsuit is with Emerson Oil. He tells that he
can’t do anything like he wanted to all because they didn’t cap their well. The man who asked
where Harvey was walks through the door and gives one of the lawyers a folder.
The man goes up to Donna and lies to her so that she leaves. He walks into Harvey’s office
and introduces himself as Travis Tanner. He tells that he gave a folder to the lawyers of Emerson
Oil and that they are going to be asking Kenny several questions to show that he doesn’t have a
chance against them. Harvey wants to know why he is there if they have it now. Tanner says that
he was called in to ’fix’ things and says that he knows about Harvey’s Senior Year where Harvey
was out of the game because of a shoulder issue. Harvey laughs and says that he is going to enjoy
kicking his butt. Jessica takes Kenny to her office and tells him that he is going to have to keep
his composure. Kenny says that he wants to make a settlement and Harvey comes in and tells
him that is what they want. He says that he is going to fight for him. Harvey says that he wants

23
 Suits Episode Guide

to take this case over the fact that Tanner brought up personal stuff. Harvey goes up to Mike and
tells that he needs information on Tanner and Mike tells that he doesn’t need that. Harvey says
that Michael Jordon got to know his opponents and Mike says that he doesn’t believe him until
Harvey says that he can call him. Mike dials the number and when Michael Jordon answers, he
hangs up and says that Harvey is insane.
Later, Louis goes up to everyone and tells them to meet him in the conference room. Harold,
one of the associates, tells that he thinks that it is about their raises. He is thinking of getting a
tattoo and says that he is way over-paying for his apartment. However, when Jessica comes in,
she tells that this isn’t about the raises. She says that someone leaked a list of witnesses to a
rival firm called Wakefield-Cady. Louis tells all the associates that whoever turns in the person,
they will get $10,000. Mike gets back to Harvey’s office and tells him what he found out about
Tanner. He says that he isn’t known because he wins cases for big corporations and then allows
them to take the credit. Harvey asks how their case is different then the others. Mike says that
they were spread over cities whereas this case is focused on one town. Donna comes in and tells
that Tanner is on the phone. Harvey takes it and says that he wants to meet him in front of
Apple Creek High School. Mike asks why that school and Harvey says that it is ground zero and
he wants all the emotion behind him when he negotiates. Mike goes to his desk and sees Jimmy
and Harold arguing. Mike tells that it is one of Louis’ tests and that they need to get to work.
Jimmy accuses Mike and Mike walks away. He sees the briefs that Louis wanted on Gulusca. He
asks why they haven’t been given to him and says that they are all ridiculous. Mike gives them
to Louis and says sorry that they are late.
Harvey meets with Tanner and he tells that he doesn’t care about the fact that their oil well
was on the High School’s land because he can see other things that are bad for them that
are around the school too. Harvey says that it is more then that and Tanner says that the
partners want to settle. However, when Harvey opens the paper, it is not a settlement at all. It
is a challenge. Harvey calls Mike to get over to Kenny’s house to make sure that Kenny doesn’t
cave. They get there and Kenny says that it wasn’t Tanner who came over, but some other guy.
He says that he came by and told that they a settlement and if they didn’t take it, they were going
to come after all of them. Kenny doesn’t remember what the guy looked like. Harvey and Mike
get back to the firm and Harvey says that he is calling in reinforcements. Louis calls Mike in his
office and he says that he is proud of him and says that he weeded out the real person involved.
Mike looks at it and hears Rachel getting suspended. Louis gives him the $10,000. Mike goes out
and tries to tell Rachel that he didn’t turn her in and she tells that she didn’t do it. Mike tries to
convince Rachel to fight and she tells that she is going to stand up for herself.
Harvey goes to Vanessa, an old friend, and gives her some money. She tells that Tanner is
clean, but he booked a conference room at a hotel. Harvey doesn’t like it. Mike goes up to Donna
and asks about employee codes and she tells that Rachel is a 5 year paralegal and got one from
the IT department. Mike goes up to Benjamin in the IT department and asks about the employee
numbers and if there is a way of other people to get them. Benjamin says that someone asked
him for another employee’s code. Mike tells that he is going to tell Ben every single number on the
paper and he is going to tell who asked for the number. Mike walks away and calls Rachael. He
leaves a message and says that it was Louis. However, at the same moment, Rachael is walking
into Wakefield-Cady for a job interview. Mike and Harvey get to the hotel and they need to find
the guy who was intimidating their clients. Mike walks in and finds Mrs. Williams and asks why
they are all there. She says that they were called because there is a settlement offer. Tanner
walks in and tells that he just came for the free juice. Harvey says that he knows that he can’t
talk to the clients, but he can talk to Harvey. He starts talking loudly and tells that $25,000
is the settlement and he writes down his number. Harvey is outraged and Tanner says that he
didn’t mean for everyone to hear him. Harvey tells Tanner that he is coming after him.
Harvey goes into Jessica’s office and says that if they could get a loan to cover the $25,000
settlement, then they could get them to not settle yet. However, Jessica says that it is not possible.
Mike talks to Rachael and tells that they can take Louis down and Rachael says that she took a
job at Wakefield-Cady. She tells him that she is going to tell them everything she knows. Harvey
goes up to Vanessa and she tries to give him a copy of Emerson Oil telling Tanner to intimidate
the clients. However, Harvey says that he is not going to purge himself. Mike goes up to Donna
and asks what she thinks of the list being leaked by Louis and she says that Louis would never
do that. Mike and Harvey meet and Harvey asks what they have to do to get ahead of him. Mike

24
 Suits Episode Guide

says that he has to do things that he wouldn’t do. He meets with Tanner and tells him to make
them a real offer and they will settle. Harvey calls Vanessa and tells that he is going to need the
wire tap after all. Mike gets in the office and Jimmy gets the last cup of coffee. Mike tells that
it is not cool. Jimmy asks if Mike is going to turn him in as well. Benjamin comes in and gives
Mike the computer that he won and says hello to Jimmy, but calls him Louis. Mike realizes that
it was Jimmy who leaked the list and pretended to be Louis. Jimmy says that Wakefield-Cady
offered him a Junior-Partnership if he leaked the list. Mike tells him that he better turn himself
in or else it is going to get him eventually.
Harvey meets with Tanner later and tells that he has a recording of Tanner talking with
Emerson Oil and how they told him to intimidate the clients. He says that he is about to send
a form stating that he doesn’t know how he got it too. Tanner takes the deal and agrees to $2
Million per client. They tell Kenny and he thanks them. Jessica tells Harvey that he did good.
Later, Louis invites Rachael in her office and says that it is good to have her back. However, she
gets him to apologizes and give her a 10% raise before she takes the offer. She gets back to her
office and Mike is there. She thanks him and tells him that he is going to stay and help her get
her office back to where it was.

Summary: Harvey must keep Mike out of Jessica’s line of fire when his empathy
for a fired executive begins to jeopardize the firms’ relationship with a
client.

The scene opens with Harvey, Louis and

Jessica at a Charity Event when Harvey
sees that Tori, a client of theirs, is there.
Louis asks if he smells like sausage and
Harvey tells him that he doesn’t. Louis
goes up to a woman. Jessica comes up
with Tori and introduces her to Harvey.
She tells that she has a problem with one
of her employees and would like them
to handle it. Jessica says that they will
do it. Meanwhile Mike is with Jenny and
they are getting hot and heavy. Jenny
says that that they need to slow down.
He agrees on the fact that Trevor is to
blame. Jenny sees an invitation to Har-
vard Alumni Ball and asks if he is going.
He says that he isn’t going to go to an
event where he doesn’t belong. Lying about the Harvard Law School thing is bad enough. Jenny
and Mike start to get ’busy’ when Mike’s cell phone rings. It is Harvey. Mike goes up to Harvey
and Harvey says that they are going to fire Stan Jacobson, a Senior Accountant to their firm.
Mike asks what he did and Harvey says that he lied about where he went to school and how he
is a fraud. Mike asks if that could happen to him and says that he could be fired if Jessica found
out. Jessica comes in and asks what she can’t find out about. Harvey lies and says that Mike is
a virgin. She tells that she is not surprised. However, Mike is nervous as he walks out.
The next day, Jenny comes in to the law firm and tries to get through security. Rachel comes
in and Jenny asks if she can give the suit to Mike and says that she stayed over at his place and
Mike didn’t come home. Rachel says that she will give it to him. Rachel gets into the office and
finds Mike on the floor sleeping. She kicks him and tells that Jenny gave him his suit coat. He
changes and Rachel hangs back a little to watch. Mike gets into Harvey’s office and says that he
doesn’t want to be there when they fire him. Harvey asks about the background check and Mike
tells that he will look into it. Mike goes into Louis office and he asks Mike if he can tell what

27
 Suits Episode Guide

happened to him. Louis tells him that he spent the night with the most beautiful woman last
night. Mike is disgusted when Louis tries to tell what he did. Mike calls up the company that did
the background check. They tell that they are not going to cooperate with them. However, he gets
them to give it to him when he threatens with a lawsuit. Mike goes up to Stan and he says that
he has been wanting to meet with Harvey for his balls. Mike is confused and Stan clarifies that
he was talking about his autographed baseballs.
They get into Harvey’s office and Harvey tells him that he is not there to discuss baseball, but
to tell him that he is being let go. Stan is devastated and says that he has been good the entire
time working for them. However, Mike shows a document that says that the background check
that they ran on Stan is 5 years old. Stan realizes that Tori is trying to railroad him just like they
did with Paula when she found some discrepancies. Harvey talks to Jessica and Tori and Tori
says that he should have made Stan sign the severance package which included a confidentiality
agreement. Jessica tells Tori that Harvey is going to get them the signature. After Tori leaves,
Harvey tries to argue that something is not right. Jessica says that the company that Tori owns
brings in $10 Million a month. She orders Harvey to get the signature. She tells that Mike is to
blame for showing the document to Stan. Harvey walks up to Mike and tells him to come with
him. He tells Mike that he cannot sympathize with Stan just because you feel that Stan is just
like him. He says that Jessica is not forgiving and will fire Mike if he doesn’t watch it. Harvey
goes up to Stan and tells that if he doesn’t sign the agreement, then they are going to be forced
to file a lawsuit on him. He says that he can’t afford the law suit and agrees.
Mike answers the door at his place and it is Jenny. She asks why she left her at his place
without anything. Mike says that he almost got fired. He says that he needs to find facts that
their accountant is doing something bad and says that he traced it back to a law firm called
Unger & Tracy and they won’t take his calls. Jenny says that she thought that the lawyers ran in
the same circles. Mike gets and idea to go to the mixer with other lawyers. Later, Jenny and Mike
get to the mixer and they tell that Mike is not on the list. Jenny tells that Mike works for Harvey
Specter and the guy taking roll tells them to go in and not to worry about anything. Back at the
office, Jessica goes into Harvey’s and thanks him for getting the signature. Harvey says that he
doesn’t like that Tori is possibly hiding something. He mentions a company called Abadine. She
tells him that she is telling him not to look into this. However, it is clear that she is not going to
stop him.
Mike mingles when he sees Brian Jennings, a lawyer for Unger & Tracy. He is about to go
up when Louis comes up and says that it is a surprise to see Mike there. Mike is not able to
get to Jennings. Harvey goes up to Judge Morrison and says that he needs a favor. Jenny comes
up and talks to Louis date, Charisse. They walk up to them and Mike tells that he never had
a chance to talk to Jennings. She excuses herself. Back in the judge’s chambers, they find a
lawsuit between Abadine. Harvey sees that Abadine is closed. Louis says that it is good that Mike
got a date outside of the law office. Charisse says that she would love to see where Louis works.
Jenny gives Mike the ID card of Jennings and tells him to get the documents he needs. Mike
goes into the law offices and slyly walks in. However, he is caught looking at documents. Later,
Harvey comes into the law offices of Unger & Tracy and the security guard tries to extort Harvey
to get Mike from going to the police. Harvey tells that he knows of the security guard’s tax fraud
and says that he is going to make a donation to his ’little league’ and leave. Mike asks how he
does that and Harvey isn’t interested in that and Mike asks if he found anything. Harvey says
that he found that Tori has a ’Shelf Company’, a company set for hiding assets. Harvey says that
they need to find legal means to get the documents.
Mike gets into work and everyone is huddled around his desk. They are watching security
footage of Louis getting slapped and then kneed in the stomach. They tell that Louis wants a
restraining order from Charisse and needs the footage for evidence. Louis walks in and sees that
they are watching the footage. He walks away angry. Later, Stan goes into Harvey’s office and
Jessica is there. They tell that they are filing a law suit against Tori for the Abadine case. Rachael
goes up to Mike and asks why he is still working. He says that he is trying to find evidence that
will implicate their accounting firm. Rachael says that he will dictate and she will type. She tells
him that he saw the forms and that is good enough. Mike starts to dictate what he remembers
verbatim. Afterward, Rachael says that Mike’s mind is amazing. Rachael says that it is tough
having a relationship with a lawyer and she leans in and kisses Mike. He is stunned. Louis
comes in and asks what they are still doing there and says that there are no relationships in

28
 Suits Episode Guide

the work place. Mike walks away. The next day, Rachael and Mike run into each other and Mike
thanks Rachael for the typing. Harvey comes up and says that he needs the files.
Harvey goes into the conference room and Jessica and Harvey tell that they are no longer
their law firm because they are going to be suing her for everything she has. Tori tries to play
the ’friend card’ and Jessica says that Tori has been stealing money from her law firm and that
they are not friends. Stan is happy that he is going to get his job back, but Harvey says that he
can’t because he lied on his resume. Mike says that his best asset is his mind. Stan says that he
should have never done it. Mike looks nervous and walks away. Harvey goes into Jessica’s office
and tells that he was right that they wouldn’t catch him. He tells that Mike helped and Jessica
says that she will give him the benefit of the doubt. Mike goes into Harvey’s office and asks what
they are going to do when he gets caught. Harvey says that he isn’t going to get caught and says
that Mike can make money without the job. Harvey says that if he wants the job to stop, all he
has to do is tap out. Jenny comes into the office and Louis tells her that Jenny should pick up
Mike more often because all the ’late nights’ with Rachel. She is confused and Louis says that it
is all the ’animal behavior’. Mike comes up and Jenny is a little standoffish.

Summary: Harvey’s former mentor turns to his protégé when his office comes
under investigation. Elsewhere, Mike and Louis try to settle a mogul’s
estate in the midst of family clashes; and Jenny worries that Mike is
hiding something.

Harvey runs into old boss the D. A.,

Cameron Dennis (Gary Cole). Dennis is
looking to move up in the world. He
says he taught Harvey everything he ever
learned. Mike is amused Harvey had a
’Harvey’ of his own and Cameron recites
several rules of Harvey’s law trade Mike
recognizes. Later Harvey is irritated Mike
didn’t notice the meeting was not a co-
incidence and that Dennis wants some-
thing.
Mike wants to know why the district
attorney work experience does not show
up on the company website for Harvey be-
cause he has never heard Harvey mention
he worked there. Mike Ross researches
this with Donna and gets a funny look.
Donna says not to bring it up, ever, with Harvey. Waling by, Harvey catches them talking secrets
and they say they are discussing a case. Mike gets Rachel to look up in the legal files online and
sees Harvey handled a record number of official cases as attorney of record. He was point man
for Westlaw citations for Dennis.
Jessica asks Harvey and Louis to work both sides of an estate dissolution case. Two heiresses
need the estate divided equitably. But Louis and Harvey quibble. Jessica insists they find a
way to make each sister feel like she got what she wanted and they set up a Chinese Wall. In
the interview, Louis hears the resentful sister talk about how the younger sister was the star.
(This is similar to his role with Harvey and Jessica). Harvey identifies with the younger sister’s
entitlement through hard work.
Mike sees that the photo of Harvey from the D.A’s office shows him much younger ( and with
a full head of blond hair). But Mike’s girlfriend is anxious to dispel the doubts Louis raised and
insists they double date with Rachel so she can see for herself there is nothing there.
Harvey comes to dinner with Cameron and gets waylaid in the restaurant by a federal inves-
tigator Alexandra (Alicia Coppola). She hints she’d like to talk more and Harvey confronts her

31
 Suits Episode Guide

about meeting him while waiting for him to show up to meet with Dennis. The D.A. is getting
probed for inventing and hiding evidence to put people away and Harvey is accused of being
involved. Harvey has an uneasy dinner with Cameron, who emphasizes what a loyal employee
(hunting dog) Harvey was.
Harvey cites specific cases where there could be trouble. Harvey says to Dennis that lines
were crossed, and he knows it. If push comes to shove he won’t perjure himself even for him.
But Harvey is so worried about the matter he leaves the negotiation of the estate to Mike Ross,
angering Louis.
Harvey is not comfortable turning on Dennis after all the years he spent being groomed by
him to get where he is now. But the Grand Jury hearings start with Jessica defending Harvey.
Harvey gives intelligent answers but soon it is apparent there is a lot he is not saying. Jessica
says they may have to make a deal. Harvey must turn on Cameron to get clear of disbarment.
The estate case moves on. Mike thinks getting their heiress the paper is the goal, but Harvey
realizes the have to make the other heiress think she won. Louis cruises the firm trying to
overhear their strategy, after pretending to make up rules about the Chinese Wall. Louis wants
a bet for the case and Harvey wagers ten days of Mike Ross’ services against nothing. Mike is
stunned. But when Mike faxes a case document which Louis could find later, Harvey is disgusted.
Harvey deals with being asked to testify against Dennis. Then Jessica wants to defend him.
The federal dealmaker wants to bury Harvey unless he testifies against his old mentor who
falsified evidence to put guilty men behind bars. Harvey is angry he has to betray his mentor.
Harvey says to Jessica (who has had backstabbing meetings with Louis about Harvey) he would
never betray Cameron just like he would never betray her.
Mike drops by Louis’ office to discuss the division of assets. Louis is angry Harvey doesn’t
care enough to do it himself. Mike gives away the fact though his offers at compromise that
the heiress Harvey represents wants the newspaper because the other girl wants it. Ross sniffs
around and sees the tabloid staff adore the younger sister and they should secure the staff with
employment contracts. Harvey barely pays attention.
Donna gives Harvey the official subpoena. Harvey asks her advice, startling Donna. Harvey
stacks up files in his office from old cases of his at the D.A.’s office. Harvey wants to know what
Donna thinks he should do, Donna having worked for him at the D.A’;s office as well as Jessica
Pearson. Donna says she would tell them everything and throw a party. Donna says Harvey was
loyal but Cameron Dennis was poison.
Mike walks into the meeting and reports on the value of the paper. Harvey listens. Mike
Ross suggests they hire away all the staff from the tabloid the younger sister wants. As Harvey
assents to this strategy, Louis sidles up and says he just locked in the tabloid staff to keep
working there for fat employment contracts. Harvey is not very involved and Louis is victorious
without a validating bit of thunder.
Donna and Mike pretend to forget to be confidential and talk about his strategy to settle the
case. Mike is sure to leave document in the copier for Louis to find. A new buyer for the tabloid
will pay cash. At the settlement signing, Mike acts smug and so does the young heiress. Louis
and his heiress also smile and sign the estate agreement. Then Mike informs Louis the young
heiress is the new buyer for the tabloid. Harvey is eager to collect on the bet somethng he soesn’t
care about but what Louis wants, his two tickets to Nixon in China (a hot New York play).
Jenny prys more into Mike’s life, having moved in. Mike resents Jenny seeing into his brain.
Mike tells Rachel because of what Louis said she has to double with them. Rachel is not best
pleased but agrees, not wanting Louis to have the last word. They go on the double date. Mike
resents the guy Rachel brings to the date, he is the winner of the mock trial Mike threw because
he couldn’t cross examine Rachel.
When Rachel and Jenny go to the ladies’ room, Jenny insists on letting Rachel know that
Mike got her out of a bad relationship with their best friend. Jenny says Mike had a thing for
her for a long time and implies he has a habit of wanting the ungettable and testing the water of
romantic impossibility. Rachel thoughtfully walks back to the table.
Meanwhile the other young attorney and Mike have been having words. The man has been
hinting he will have sex with Rachel that night, noticing how Mike looks at her. He is thinking
Mike wants her but can’t get her. But he also cites the fact they cant get involved and wants to
rub Mike’s face in it. When the girls come back, he puts a move on Rachel. She is uncomfortable
and she demurs, angering Mike into saying something. Jenny watches everything.

32
 Suits Episode Guide

After the dinner Jenny says he couldn’t take his eyes off her. (it is very obvious Mike and
Rachel could lose their jobs getting involved because Louis is watching). Then Jenny says that
she is available and Mike needs to make up his mind. (Ross has a history and a link to Jenny
through Trevor).
Many of the associates are surprised Mike has not been fired, for being caught by Louis,
watching his girlfriend nearly castrate him on the security cameras at his desk monitor. Mike is
noncommittal. Louis comes into Harvey’s office and says he won the bet. Donna calls Louis ’King
Louis’, a joke on his name. Angry about being called to answer for Cameron’s methods, Harvey
shouts at Louis for cheating.
Louis crossly points out that he won, because he buttressed the cost of the tabloid for the girl
to buy by giving out such hefty salaries, earning his own heiress more money for the deal. Louis
says he knew about the fake buy offer but Harvey barely cares and says the deal was a tie, to
take Mike anyway. Louis says he has no use for Mike, he just wiped the floor with him. Harvey
calls Louis ’Your Highness’ .
But Jessica is not upset because she know Harvey has bigger problems. Donna visits Jessica
and gives her information from when she worked at the D.A.’s with Harvey. Donna says she
judges people by how they treat the lowly ones and Jessica has passed the test. Donna says
Harvey didn’t see what Dennis was doing for a long time. Harvey was trapped and needed a way
out when Jessica proposed he come to her firm. Jessica tries to use the file to get Harvey a deal.
Mike tells Rachel the next day she provoked his feelings by deliberately choosing the one guy
to date that would remind him of his own failure. because Louis won the case he won Mike
but he farmed out his services so Mike is in the copy room reviewing errors on documents.
Rachel accuses Mike of fostering the situation by flirting with her at work too. (Rachel thinks
what Jenny said was true and Mike just wants what he can’t have). But Mike points out she
only acted interested when Jenny came on the scene. Rachel and Mike break up their work
relationship when Mike asks her to stop touching him and flirting.
Harvey visits Cameron at home to talk to him about the situation. Dennis asks if Harvey is
wearing a wire. Alexandra won’t stop until she busts someone. Cameron Dennis relies on Harvey
to cover for him. Then Harvey mentions specifics. Cameron at first pretends he doesn’t know
the case Harvey is being questioned about. Then Cameron starts reciting names. He remembers
them all. Cameron says getting those men in jail at any price was winning. But Harvey walks
away shaking his head.
Jessica tries to work a deal for Harvey but finds out that Cameron turned on Harvey and will
make his own deal. Harvey ponders his past cases. Jessica visits Cameron with a file Donna gave
her. She gives him a copy and says the original goes to Alexandra unless he cops a plea and gets
Harvey out of the legal mess. Jessica says if Cameron ever comes after one of her people again
she will send the file to Alexandra anyway.
Jessica informs Harvey of the win, but he is depressed about a young man he put in jail
wrongly. This was his last case for Dennis and Harvey now wants to get him free.

Summary: In the season finale, Harvey tries to free an innocent man but hits a
wall when he goes to the district attorney, who seems more focused on
preserving the system than seeking justice. Elsewhere, Trevor causes
problems for Mike when he shows up on his doorstep.

Harvey can’t get on the top end of the law-

suit. This is a re-opening of the wrong-
ful conviction for the man he put away
twenty years ago. Harvey meets with the
convicted man, a Latino who only has
four years left on his sentence. The man
is not sure whether to let Harvey file the
case, as it could get retried and more
weight put on the sentence. Mike asks
Harvey to leave the room and Mike tells
Harvey his own story about what Harvey
is willing to put on the line.
Harvey goes to court but the Jus-
tice representative threatens another trial
and a stiffer sentence. All his arguments
get shot down. The man mocks Harvey for
not knowing what he is talking about. He
is also not charmed by Harvey. The opposing counsel sends a message to Harvey explicitly. But
the District Attorney’s office is mean to Harvey, paying him back for the surfacing of ancient
evident that got Cole between Alexandra’s radar sights.
Harvey Specter doesn’t know what he’s talking about, of course, because Donna gave the
evidence to Jessica for the deal. Harvey feels at a loss and tells Mike they will need some real
evidence. Ross has to work with Rachel although they are in a feud. Rachel thinks Harvey has
requested her services. Jessica questions what value Mike Ross has brought to the company and
Harvey suggests he is playing the role for Mike Jessica played for him.
Jenny tells Mike he has to tell Trevor about their relationship before he finds out from some-
one else. Mike Ross continues to flirt with Rachel, who gets the wrong message. Mike gets help
from Rachel on a case but then Mike has to talk her into helping him because Harvey is barking.
Rachel and Mike can’t stop the chemistry. Mike talks about freeing the man wrongly convicted
and points out to Rachel her research is as important as the law the associates argue.

Harvey gets blindsided again by the cop whose evidence was used to convict the wrong man.
The cop is angry at Harvey because he was pointed toward the bust by the District Attorney and
can’t believe Harvey is unwrapping the case these many years later. Harvey says the cop broke
the law, and the cop says sometimes the good guy has to do a bad thing to get the bad guy.
Harvey is pensive. He is doing the right thing but getting stonewalled.
Harvey confronts Donna at the office, completely threatening to fire her if she ever goes behind
his back again . Donna says ’you’re welcome’. Harvey takes up the matter with Jessica, who
defends Donna and asks about the status of his current mission. Harvey says they need an
expert in appeal court connection, and they both remember Louis’ cousin work in the Appeals
division. They both know Louis won’t help, but Jessica says it is for the firm.
Donna approached Louis in a nearly see-through blouse looking for favors. Louis wants Donna
under him, as his secretary. Donna offers herself for a few weeks. But Louis refuses to influence
Harvey’s appeal hearing, and Donna hands over tickets to the New York City Ballet for an impos-
sible performance. When Louis whimpers, Donna adds that dinner with Mikhail Baryshnikov is
included. Louis says ’Mommy’. Louis says no but can’t let go of the tickets.
Harvey grills the cop under oath and he says he only returned the DNA on the murder vic-
tim’s dress, not the other items that had been tested. Harvey presses for the DNA results of the
camisole the dead woman had, with blood on it, found at the scene. But there is no legal reason
to look for other DNA at the scene. The public defender shuts Harvey out. Harvey can’t get the
other evidence admitted. Harvey admits to Mike he has nothing to argue on.
Unable to make his arguments by the next day, Harvey provokes the client into hitting him by
making vehement statements and getting a bruise on his face. This buys them 48 hours of time.
The two men who knew the murdered woman show up in the court hallways, angry at Harvey.
The issue is whether the letter written by the dead woman to an ex-boyfriend shows previous
knowledge of the relationship with the jailed man.
Mike thinks about his own secret relationship and Rachel’s and Trevor’s reaction to it, and
compiles a new theory. Mike realizes one of them must have a grudge and Harvey deduces one
of them did it. How can they make them talk? Mike and Harvey show up at a bar and teases the
two men, who get angry and start an argument. Harvey watches their reaction.
Harvey says the coward didn’t testify at trial and Mike Ross comes up with a plan that involves
Trevor. The weaker of the two men gets woken up in his home by an angry Trevor, swinging a
bat. Then Trevor leaves the man goes downstairs to get something to drink and make a cellphone
call. He looks up to find Harvey, Mike Ross and the cop watching from inside his house.
Mike Ross helps Harvey lay out how the cops singled out the jailed man because they had
no knowledge another suspect was jealous. The letter was so the dead woman could tell her
past lover so he wouldn’t be angry about the dead woman’s relationship, which the letter shows.
Harvey accurately says that the attacks can only stop once justice is done. The man admits that
he is afraid of his friend and that it was all the other man’s idea and he will testify.
At the office, Donna had a drink with Rachel, saying that her feelings for Mike Ross are visible
for the naked eye to see. Donna talks about work relationships knowingly. Rachel can’t believe
that Harvey and Donna have never had sex. Donna says that it changes everything and you can’t
go back. When Donna is in the restroom Rachel drunk-dials Mike’s phone to say she is over him
dating Jenny. Trevor picks up Mike’s phone, hears the message, and becomes furious.
Harvey presents the letter evidence in the case, and gets the appeal. The opposition senses
it was coerced by extralegal means. Next day in court, Harvey wins the appeals motion to retry
the case. The defender coolly cites that Harvey did something wrong to get the letter into trial.
Although Harvey has won, the man points out the bruise on his face he needed to put there to
win. Harvey smiles ruefully.
At Pearson, Trevor waits in the hallway. Dressed in a suit, He confronts Jessica and says he
knows something about Mike Ross she needs to hear.

Summary: Following Trevor’s intrusion Harvey must make an important decision
about how he’ll go about guarding Mike’s secret also, Harvey entrusts
Mike to close a major lawsuit.

The episode begins with Mike walking

into a restaurant to meet Jessica. He
tells her that he is nervous; she tells him
that she doesn’t want him to lie. Cut to
the next scene, Mike tells Harvey hat he
thinks that Jess knows the truth. But
Harvey thinks otherwise, as Jess has in-
vited most of the senior partners for din-
ner on their first year and so it is a good
sign. Harvey wants to know about the
status of his merger but Mike thinks that
he being exposed is a more important is-
sue. Next, Jess and Mike are having din-
ner. She tells him a bit about her past
and now she wants to know about him.
She wants to know about Harvard. Mike
tells her about his life; but definitely not
the truth. She wants to know why law. He tells her that her parents died in a horrible accident.
He later found out that there was a restaurant that kept feeding his father alcohol despite
being aware of his medical condition. He felt helpless and that is why he decided to take up law.
Jess asks him to pay for the dinner and she leaves. But before leaving she states that Harvey
was right! Jess arrives at the office and Harvey is waiting for her. He wants to know what is
happening. She tells him that there was an allegation against Mike that he isn’t from Harvard or
any other law school. But she found his record squeaky clean. She knows that there is a record
for Harvard; but there isn’t one that proves that he has gone to any college on the face of earth.
She knows that he is full of shit but she also figures out that he is very good at what he does;
probably better than the two of them. But she wants Harvey to fire Mike.
Next day at work, Donna figures out that Jessica knows about Mike. Mike walks into the
office, unaware of what is in store for him. Donna takes their leave and now it is on Harvey
to break the news that he is firing him. Mike is in high spirits and he starts talking about the
Squinton merger, where the woman thinks that the publishing stole one of her book ideas and
she wants to file suit. Donna is watching the scene from her table. Harvey asks Mike to sit down

39
 Suits Episode Guide

and they talk. Minutes later, Mike walks out. Donna tries to talk to him, but he walks away.
Donna goes in to talk to Harvey and realizes that Harvey didn’t fire him. He was too overwhelmed
and he decided to buy Mike some time. Instead, Harvey told Mike that he was proud of him. No
wonder he looked so dazed! Next, Mike goes to a book store and asks for book by James Jenkins.
He then hands the lady, Myrah Harrison a copy of the complaint and steamrolls her.
But she wants him to listen to what she has to say. She tells him that she had an idea about
the story and her boss asked her to pitch it to her. Then she went ahead and told the story to
James Jenkins. She tells him that she just wants to be paid for her idea. Next, Harvey walks into
Louis’ office and tells him that Jess took Mike out for dinner the previous night. He tells Louis
to lay off from Mike for a few days. Next, Mike meets Jenny. She wants to know what is going on
between him and Rachel. She tells him that she doesn’t trust him as he had not told her about
the kiss. Mike tries to defend himself but to no avail. Jenny wishes him luck with Rachael and
walks away. She stops and tells her that he should have asked how she came to know about the
kiss; Trevor told her. She also tells him that Trevor was going to tell Jess about Mike’s truth. She
calls him a fraud and leaves. Mike is in shock.
He walks into the office and heads for the washroom. He meets Louis. Louis tells him that he
is still going to report to him and Harvey cannot help him with anything. He wants a detailed
report about the redundant department list of the Squinton merger before he leaves. In the ladies’
washroom, Rachael tells Donna about the kiss. But now she is confused. She tells Donna that
she left a message for Mike saying that she cannot stop thinking about the kiss and he hasn’t
replied. Donna suggests that probably he had made his choice. Just then Donna gets a message
and leaves. Mike walks into Harvey’s office and confronts him. Mike is upset. Donna walks in
with news; Alicia Hardman died. Now Harvey is upset and he leaves. Louis meets Jess and tells
him that he has asked Mike to compile the list on the Squinton merger. Jessica thanks Louis and
goes to meet Harvey. She knows that Harvey made Louis to work with Mike and if Mike leaves
abruptly then Louis is going to ask questions.
He tells her that she has bigger fish to fry and hands her the letter which says that Alicia
Hardman is dead which in turn means that Daniel Hardman is coming back. He reminds her
that the only way they could get rid of Daniel is by threatening him about his affair that would be
exposed to his wife Alicia; and now with Alicia being dead, they have lost their leverage. Daniel
is coming back and will ask for the complete power. So, instead of going behind Mike, she needs
to focus on Daniel. On the other hand, Mike meets Beckman and asks her to give her employee,
Myra an appropriate compensation for her story. He tells her that this law suit is the one thing
that is holding up a billion dollar merger and every day it is being dragged on, it is going to cost
them money. All he wants her to do is give Myra a very small part of all the money. Mike hands
Myra a check of $30,000 and she is not happy.
Harrison tells Mike that she knows about the merger. She gives back the check. At the funeral,
Harvey and Jess talk to Hardman. He tells them that the last five years have changed a lot of
things in his life. He is a changed man now and he thanks Jessica for it. But they still don’t
trust him. Harvey tells Jess that he can keep Hardman from coming back. But he needs extra
motivation. She knows that he wants Mike to stay. She tells him to keep Hardman away and
that he just got himself a deal. Harvey comes back and asks him why his merger on it is way of
closing. Mike updates him that Harrison realised that she was in a unique position to affect the
merger. Mike is cross with Harvey as he thinks that Harvey is going to fire him. But he assures
Mike that he is not going to do any such thing and he asks Mike to take care of that law suit.
Next, Harvey goes to meet Hardman.
He threatens him that if he decides to come back then he will tell his daughter what kind of
a man her father was. Hardman wants to know why he is doing this and Harvey tells him that
he is trying to protect his own. Meanwhile, Mike manages to get the plaintiff and the defendant
face to face. Mike tells Beckman that Myra Harrison wants credit and that she should be given
that. He asks Myra to sign the agreement. But Myra wants public credit. But then Mike lists the
names of few books and suggests that Myra had plagiarized her pitch. So he asks her to sign the
deal and go home; else he will sue her for plagiarizing their previous works. She signs the deal.
He tells her that if she wants to be a writer then she should write; but never threaten him or his
firm again. Harvey and Mike meet at the office.
Harvey welcomes him to the firm and Mike tells him that the merger papers are on its way. But
then Harvey is shocked to see Hardman standing in the office, addressing to the team. Hardman

decides to come clean about his past, not only with his co-workers but also with his daughter.
Harvey asks Mike to go home and not come back. Mike confronts Trevor. He tells him that he too
can mess with his life. Mike knows Trevor’s SSN. Jess tells Harvey that Mike needs to be fired.
Harvey tells her that he is not staying either. He points out that she needs him while she deals
with Hardman. Mike receives a call and Harvey asks him to come to the office. At the office, he
finds Jess waiting for him. She wants to know how he managed to get Harvey to hire him. He

Summary: As Hardman makes it clear he’s back to stay, Jessica tasks Harvey
with helping shore up support for her within the firm – but Harvey’s
penchant for winning may create more enemies than friends. Mike
confronts Rachel with the fact that he heard her message.

The episode begins with Mike meeting

Jess in the elevator. He thanks her for
keeping him despite learning the truth
about him. Jess walks into the office and
sees that Hardman has torn apart a part
of the office; he is renovating. But the
point is that he did not ask Jess for per-
mission. Louis arrives and comments on
the color of the walls. He then asks Jess if
he could summarizes all the cases of the
firm to Hardman. Jess tells him that he
is perfect for the job. Mike meets Rachael
in the office. She tries to avoid him. He
kisses her and tells her that he got her
message. Jess tells Harvey that she wants
to win a vote for the firm’s managing part-
ner. She wants him to do some recon and
make sure that all the departments are happy with him.
He tells her that all of them are. But Donna interrupts and points out the names of few
departments that hate him for being right all the time. It appears that the bankruptcy guy doesn’t
have a problem with him; yet! Jess wants him to speak to the bankruptcy guy. Mike walks into
the office and Jess leaves. Harvey tells Mike that he shouldn’t trust Hardman and that he might
have to choose sides. Harvey tells him that he needs him to gather as much information on Paul
Porter. Meanwhile, Louis talk to Donna and wants to know what is going on between Hardman
and Jess. Donna tells him that she doesn’t know anything. He bribes her with tickets to an
Edward Albee reading with Glenn Close and Meryl Streep. Donna is clearly tempted but she
doesn’t say anything. Meanwhile, Mike goes to Rachael and asks her to help him summarize all
the bankruptcy cases. But she tells him that she has to summarize all the cases at the firm for
Hardman.
Mike makes plans for dinner and suggests that they could talk about it then. Meanwhile,
Harvey takes Paul out for lunch. But Paul sees through Harvey’s motive. He tells Harvey that he
wants respect. But Harvey points out that what Paul wants is help with a client. He has done his

43
 Suits Episode Guide

homework and tells Paul to let him close the client. But Paul wants Tom to declare bankruptcy.
But he wants Paul to back up Jess. He put him to golf with Fred Couples and leaves. Next, Mike
and Harvey meet the client. But he doesn’t want to file and he says that Madison 25 will be built.
He wants to protect his family name. They need to check other options and Mike has an idea.
Donna meets Louis and asks him to talk to the bank for an extension on the quarter billion loan.
She seduces him to arrange a meeting with the bank. Later, Mike and Harvey talk to the bank
lady and she tells them that there is no way that they can do anything about it.
Paul arrives at Harvey’s office. Harvey tells him that he is trying to do everything he can to
make his client happy. He feels that Harvey’s plan is far too big and Tom needs to be protected.
Paul asks Harvey to get the bankruptcy papers signed and leaves. Meanwhile, Mike is doing
some research and comes up with something. It appears that the bank is financing a couple of
builders in the client’s area and the client’s property is in the centre of the block. It appears like
the bank needs a building when the merger takes place. And Madison 25 seems to be the best
bet. The duo decides to go the bank. They tell the banker lady that they know that the bank is
looking for a new headquarter and this prime price of estate is a song. Mike like to read!!
They also educate the lady with the fact that out of the six builders the bank is financing, their
firm represents three of them. And when they tell them about the bank’s plans, they might end up
representing all six of them and also could convince them to move their business elsewhere. This
could take out a tank load of money from the bank! Next, Rachael and Mike have a wonderful
date. Rachael invites him to her place but he refuses saying that they should do this the right
way. Rachael agrees and leaves. Mike feels terrible. He goes to meet Harvey at his place. Harvey
is surprised that he managed to find his address. He tells Harvey that he cannot lie to Rachael
and that he wants to tell her the truth about himself as he doesn’t want to be in a relationship
based on lies.
Harvey forbids him from doing any such thing as this could endanger the firm’s being. Hard-
man is coming back and if this news gets to him then Jess’, Mike’s and his career would end.
Mike is adamant about telling Rachael the truth and Harvey tells him that if he does then he will
be fired. Next morning, guess who arrives at Harvey’s address’ Jessica! She is totally pissed with
him. She tells him that he missed the point of what she wanted him to do. She wanted him to
keep Paul happy and Paul is no where happy with the bank supporting Tom. She wants Harvey
to tell the client that it didn’t work and make all this go away. She very clearly states that this
’isn’t a discussion’.
At the office, Rachael tells Donna about her date. Mike tells Donna that Harvey doesn’t care
about him. Donna is pissed and pushes him into Harvey’s office. She tells him how Harvey tied
himself to Mike when Jess was about to fire Mike. Mike is stunned to hear this and doesn’t
know what to do. Donna tells him to end it; gently but firmly. Meanwhile, Louis gets a gift from
Hardman; a dictaphone. Louis is floored. Mike meets Harvey. Harvey tells him that Jess has
instructed him to tank the deal. They then meet Paul and Tom. Paul is expecting that Harvey
would tell Tom he failed and the deal was off. But Harvey does the exact opposite. He tells Tom
that the bank has agreed to alter the terms of the loan. Tom is happy and Paul is clearly enraged
but he hides it with a smile.
Tom tells Paul that he found him a perfect quarter-back for the fourth quarter. Jess is angry
with Harvey. She tells him that she lost a voting partner. He tells her that he got her the real
estates’ vote. But she tells him that they were always on her side; they only hated Harvey. She
feels betrayed. He tells her that the client asked him to help him save his dream and he did. Jess
doesn’t want to hear anything. He leaves. Meanwhile, Mike goes to Rachael and tells her that he
cannot do this anymore. He tells her that he knows about the fact that she dated Colin who was
in his first year. He knows that they fell apart and Colin lost his job.
He tells her that he loves his job and would not want to lose it. She tells him that she knows
that he feels that she isn’t good enough for him. She leaves. At Hardman’s new office, Louis is
seeing to it that it looks perfect when Hardman returns. Jess walks in and tells him that in the
morning she was in a rush, so she couldn’t attend to him. She asks him whether he still needs
her; but he says a ’no’ and walks away. Mike is still upset with Harvey. He points out that he
did as he pleased despite Jess telling him what to do! Harvey takes Jess’ tea cart in her office
and assures her that she is not alone in her fight against Hardman. Jess looks relieved. Harvey
leaves.

Summary: Harvey bristles at Daniel’s involvement on a lawsuit he’s handling,
but their battle to one up each other threatens the case, leaving Mike
caught in the middle.

The episode begins with Mike’s grand-

mother paying him a surprised visit. Ac-
tually, they had decided to meet for din-
ner. But Mike forgets about it as he has
been too busy with work. Next day, at the
office, Jessica formally welcomes Hard-
man into the office. But Hardman makes
it clear that Jess is still the boss and
that he is in the number two position.
Jess tells the team about their latest case;
Prescott Hospitals’ negotiations with its
nurses. They don’t want a strike and so
they need somebody to bring it home.
Hardman jumps in and says that he is
the one who should be looking into the
case as he was the one who brought
Prescott to the firm. But Jess says that
she has prepared Harvey for the same and also that he has been preparing all morning.
In her office, Jess tells Harvey to put Hardman in his place. Harvey comes to Mike and tells
him that he wants the complete summary of the Prescott’s Nurses’ union negotiations from
Rachael; but Mike says that he cant talk to Rachael. He also wants four Pro-Bono cases immedi-
ately. Donna collects those files from Rachael. Rachael realizes that Mike is too scared to ask her
directly. Harvey meets Hardman in his office; it is a child custody dispute. Hardman tells Harvey
that he is not going to look into this case. Harvey tells him to stop poking around in his cases
and that he will report only to the number one; Jessica. Hardman tells him to learn to respect
him. Harvey flings little Lenny’s file on his table and leaves.
He then meets the representative of the Nurses’ association. He puts forth the proposal. But
she rejects it saying that the hospital can raise funds for new equipments but not the nurses.
She says that they have their strike fund and they are going to make use of it. next, Jess arrives
at Louis’ office and reprimands him for causing too much trouble for his associates. And because
of this, Harvard is withdrawing their on campus recruitment privileges. Louis talks to the staff
and tells them to lie to the representative from Harvard that they are very satisfied with their

45
 Suits Episode Guide

bosses and company. Next, Harvey realizes that Hardman has rescheduled his hearings and he
is totally pissed. But Hardman tells him that the Judge is his golf buddy and Harvey is not going
to get what he wants.
Hardman tells Harvey that if he wants to work together, then it will work out just fine; else it
is going to be like this. To get back at Hardman, Harvey goes to the Nurses’ representative and
tells her to start the strike right away. He knows that their strike fund would last for a week and
there would be no meeting regarding this issue for at least a month. He tells her that the latest
offer on the table is cancelled and now it is the one before that which is valid. Mike thinks that
Harvey was a little harsh. Harvey knows that the client and the nurses, both cannot afford this
situation and they will cave. Next, the representative from Harvard, Sheila arrives at the office
and Louis introduces her to the team. She looks exactly like Louis. Hardman meets Harvey and
tells him that he made the wrong move.
He tells him that this could anger Prescott and if they go down, then the firm would not be
able to afford it. Harvey tells Hardman that all this could have been avoided if they had gone
in for an injunction instead of a TRO. He tells him that Mike had the same idea; but he is a
newbie and Hardman has been around for years. Hardman needs to stop thinking like a rookie.
Meanwhile, Rachael and Donna are having fun at the bar; lying about themselves to every man
they come across. Next, Mike meets Hardman. He wants Mike to go and talk to the head of the
union as he and Harvey aren’t in a position to do so. Mike agrees. He takes her to meet his
grandmother Edith. But things don’t go the way he planned.
The representative tells Mike that the union needs the money and there is going to be no
compromise made. Next, Sheila tells Louis that his associates feel that Louis doesn’t work and
he makes them do all his work. But both of them think that they are wrong. Next, Mike meets
Harvey and tells him that the nurses consistently stay back late and they are not paid for it. He
confirmed that by looking at his grandmother’s charts. He says that all they want is extra staff
so that they don’t have to work more than 15 hours a day and it would cost only 10% of the new
equipment fund. Harvey meets Hardman in the washroom and tells him that Hardman would be
the only one responsible if this whole thing goes wrong. He shouldn’t have sent Mike to talk to
the other side. Mike meets Hardman in his office; they have to discuss the case and it might take
all night.
Meanwhile, Harvey and Louis have a small talk. They remember their old days. Just then
a thought crosses Harvey’s mind. He tells Louis that ’he is the man’; something that he would
never repeat. But Louis has it recorded. Mike goes to Rachael’s office but she is not there. He
sees that Rachael is trying to register on a dating site. Rachael arrives and Mike tells her that he
was looking for a file for Hardman. She tells him that she has been working on an essay for the
past three days and it is blank. Mike decides to help her with the essay. Next, Louis finishes his
associates’ works for them and tells them that he can do it faster than them. But he wants them
to do it so that they can learn. He has ten new cases for them and his associates gladly volunteer
to do those.
Jess has a smile on her face as she is watching the whole thing. Hardman takes Mike for the
negotiation, but Harvey is already there. As always, he steamrolls the nurse, and she is forced to
sign the contract. Mike is pissed that Hardman and Harvey are playing each other and they are
using him. He makes it clear that he doesn’t want to get caught in the middle of it ever again.
At night, Rachael arrives at Mike’s door. She asks him that if she can say all those nice things
about her then why he can’t be with her. She feels that he is hiding something from her. He tells
her that he can’t tell her. She is upset and she leaves.
He stops her and tells her that once he tells her the truth, he can never take it back. This
is everything for him and he cannot afford to mess with it. Next day, Harvey and Jess are in
her office, and Hardman walks in. he wants to know whether they are celebrating their victory
of the case or his defeat. Hardman tells them that he is not there for a fight but he has come
to apologize. Jess meets Louis and tells him that she is impressed by the speech he gave his
associates the previous day. Mike walks into Harvey’s office and Harvey tells him Hardman’s
story. He tells Mike that he trusts him and hence wanted him to know. Next, Rachael is appearing
for the law school entrance exam. Mike goes to meet his grandmother and spends time with her.

fective. He attacked the deceased victim
and won the case. When Mike makes fun
of Harvey’s music Harvey takes him down
the hallway and gives him to Louis for one
case.
Harvey meets with old adversary Tanner who is representing the victim. He shows him an
internal memo from Coastal Motors that seems to indicate they knew of the defect that caused
the accident. He is suing CM for $46 million, as well as Harvey and the firm for fraud.
Harvey and Jessica discuss the memo. She doesn’t want Daniel to know about it and Harvey
thinks his connections at CM mean he’ll find out soon.
Louis has Mike working on a case defending a company called Liquid Water, which is being
sued by competitor Durham Foods for claims in a slogan. Louis will be arguing the ads are
promotional statement no reasonable person would believe to be true. Louis is being very militant
with Mike.
Harvey asks Donna if she knew about the memo. She assures him the document never got
to their office, but he wants her to search the files (quietly) and make sure it’s not in there
somewhere. Mike wants Harvey to get him out of working for Louis. Harvey says he can’t do it
and thinks it’s too risky for him to work for them both simultaneously.
An associate named Harold has a thing for Rachel.
Harvey meets with CM CEO (Lawrence) who fires him, at least in part after a meeting with
Tanner where he explained their history. CM thinks they need to cut ties with Harvey. Afterwards
Harvey calls Mike and says he needs him to go through their files and find out ”what’s not in

47

there.” Harvey calls Jessica telling her that the upside of the firm being fired is that whatever
they find now will not be covered by attorney-client privilege.
Mike and Rachel pretend to be fooling around so that Harold doesn’t realize they’re looking
for files.
Louis hands the attorney for Durham Foods a dozen motions and says they want to take the
case to trial. After the meeting Louis tells Mike the plan is to bury them in paperwork and the
case could drag for months.
Daniel tells Harvey he’d like to work with him on his case as a kind of peace offering. Harvey
says he’ll try and find some time down the road. Mike comes in and tells Harvey two years ago
a quality control manager named Sarah suspiciously did not write a report on the car model
in question. Additionally, when the model was unveiled she disappeared from CM without any
evidence of being fired or claims of unemployment. Mike thinks Sarah must have wrote the memo
and found her address.
Harvey meets with Sarah. He doesn’t admit to no longer working for CM, and asks who else
she showed the memo to. She says she didn’t write it. Sarah says she took her concerns about
the hoods to Lawrence, who promised to fix the hood if she kept quiet. She’s been racked with
guilt over the man dying and tells Harvey to leave.
Outside of Sarah’s place Harvey runs into Tanner, who has been waiting for him to find Sarah.
Since Harvey now knows Lawrence knew about the defective hood and lied about it on the stand
he has two choices: Keep the information quiet and be guilty of fraud or go public and risk a
major hit to his reputation.
Jessica tells Harvey they should go to Daniel. He says he’s going to fix it so they don’t have to
do that.
Louis skillfully gets a VP of marketing for Durham Foods to admit they’re only suing because
their product is terrible and they’re losing market share. Afterwards Mike seems fired-up that
they appear poised to win. The two seem to be enjoying the partnership.
Harvey waits for Lawrence in his company’s underground parking lot. He says he knows
about Sarah and tells him that if he doesn’t make it right with the defendants he’s going to come
forward with what he knows.
Daniel tells Mike and Louis that Durham Foods are declaring bankruptcy. It seems like a loss,
but Mike suggests they have their client buy them out and get the other products at a discount.
Mike tells Louis the personal problems they’ve had in the past have been all on Louis’ end. He
basically says he needs to treat people better. Louis asks if anything is up with Harvey but Mike
doesn’t talk.
Louis is waiting for Harvey and Mike in Harvey’s office. Louis offers to help but Harvey blows
him off. Lawrence calls with word that he’s going to settle. When Mike says Donna is still looking
through the files Harvey has an idea. As Harvey leaves we see that a tape recorder has been
hidden in the office.
Harvey meets with Tanner and accuses him of writing the memo himself. Tanner denies it
and says he’s still going to get Harvey for some of past shady lawyering.
We see Louis listening to Harvey and Mike’s taped conversation. Daniel stops by to congrat-
ulate him on the buy-out idea and notices something seems to be up. Daniel asks if there is
anything on his mind.
Harvey tells Jessica about CM settling. Since Tanner’s still coming after the firm for fraud,
they will have to tell Daniel in the morning. At this point a furious Daniel bursts into the room
angry with them for endangering the firm by not telling him about the impending lawsuit. But
he then tells them he not going to use this as a power play, instead offering to help them fight it
as a team. Jessica agrees. After Daniel leaves she tells Harvey they have no choice at this point.
Having heard the taped conversation Louis is now giving Mike the cold shoulder.
Harvey confidently tells Mike that he’s going to wreck Tanner.
Donna finds the memo with her stamp on it in the files. She is stunned.

father.

Jeffrey the agent finds Harvey out for a

jog in Central Park. He’s on the cusp of
signing tennis phenom Marco Mendoza
and wants Harvey on it. There’s just one
slight wrinkle.
Sitting down over lunch, Marco ex-
plains why he wants to be emancipated
from his father. He won’t let him go pro.
He’s 16.

she leaves with the memo.
Daniel urges Jessica and Harvey to
hire Allison to represent the firm against

49
 Suits Episode Guide

Rachel storms over to Donna with the card and slams it on her desk. She lets Donna know
she didn’t appreciate what she said; Rachel says she handles her business. Donna apologizes
and says it’s about her.
Mike sees the interchange and watches as Donna takes the folder with her name on it out of
her desk. She goes to the shredder.
Mike’s waiting. He unplugged the machine. He knows it’s the same file she had this morning.
She denies it and acts offended, but quickly drops the act. Mike wants to bring it to Harvey,
because he’s been operating under the assumption the file is lost. He reminds her destroying it
would be a crime. She reminds him that so is practicing law without a license. If she doesn’t tell
Harvey, he will.
Donna goes in to Harvey’s office to give him the file, but before she can, Daniel and Allison
come in. They’re pissed he spoke to the plaintiffs without their lawyer present. Now Travis Tanner
is going to depose everyone. He tells them to pre-dispose everyone, starting with Donna.
Mike talks to Marco, telling him his dad is just trying to protect him. Marco is worried about
missing out on playing in his peak years and says it’s not about the money. To argue for eman-
cipation they have to prove his dad is an unfit parent, but Marco says he’s not. Mike thinks
Marco’s dad loves him. Marco says his dad often blows up like he did in the conference room,
and Mike doesn’t know what happens when no one else is around.
Allison deposes Donna, who doesn’t take it seriously. Allison tries to put her at ease by relating
to her, then she accuses her of hiding the memo for Harvey. Donna walks out.
Jessica assures Allison that Harvey wouldn’t bury a memo. Allison wants Harvey to sign an
affidavit saying the office never received the memo so she can file a motion to dismiss. She says
she’s doing it to cover both their butts.
Louis yells at Harold for giving his cat half and half instead of milk. ”It’s creamier,” Harold
argues.
Mike checks with Harvey; Donna still hasn’t talked to him. Mike has a hospital report about
injuries to Marco that Mike says were caused by his father. Mike wants to argue the case for
emancipation himself.
Jessica joins them and tells them Allison is signing a motion to dismiss. She gives Harvey the
affidavit to sign that they never received the memo.
Harvey’s about to sign when Mike spills coffee on it. Jessica leaves and Harvey asks why he
did it. Mike gives him the bad news that he can’t sign the affidavit because he’d be committing
perjury.
Harvey finds Donna in the ladies’ room, saying that not telling him was a betrayal. She waits
to be fired. He explains that having the memo helps him, because just having it proves he didn’t
bury it.
And now the bad news. She destroyed it.
Harvey tells Allison what happened. Jessica believes him. Allison argues for a deal. Harvey
says that regardless of what Donna did, he never saw the memo. Allison wants to try to settle
before they have to disclose. Jessica tells her to set up the meeting.
In Family Court, Mike asks Mr. Mendoza about his right to discipline and if he becomes
abusive and if he has a responsibility to keep Marco safe.
Mike asks about the hospital visit for dehydration, he was running laps as punishment af-
ter another argument over going pro. Mike gets him riled up until he swears at him and gets
admonished by the judge.
Rachel finds Louis in the break room, choked up with a cat collar. He thought his cat just
had a tooth ache, but he knew his hygiene was perfect, they floss every day. Louis gets choked
up and says it was too late, his cat was suffering.
Louis leaves and Mike joins Rachel. She asks what’s going on with Donna. He tells her she
screwed up and it’s not small, he expects Harvey to fix it.
Harvey points out that Mike should have made Donna tell him immediately, what would have
happened if Mike wasn’t in the office when Allison brought the affidavit in?
Harvey tells Mike that Donna destroyed the memo. Mike has a realization about Marco and
leaves. He tells him to let things go with Donna.
Allison brings Jessica the settlement offer, $5 million plus legal fees, and Harvey is stripped
of his senior partnership and reported him to the NY Bar. Allison thinks they should take it.

Harvey goes to Jennifer Randall’s house. He tells her he’s sorry, he should have known about
the memo. She slams the door in his face.
Daniel thinks they have to take the deal and cut Harvey loose. She doesn’t want to scapegoat
him. Daniel thinks they have to do something and reminds her that it happened on her watch.
Mike brings Jeffrey the emancipation papers. There’s just one problem: Marco lied. Mike went
to talk to his father, he wasn’t even there when Marco ran those laps, but Jeffrey was. He realized
that Marco’s back was against the wall because they had no cause, so he made something up,
just like Donna panicked.
Jeffrey admits it, but doesn’t think it matters because they won. Mike tears up the papers.
Jessica visits Harvey and tells him it’s settled. He tells her he went to the plaintiffs again. She
has some hard news for him.
Rachel visits Mike for a favor. She wants the signed ball from Marco, but she won’t say why.

because she can’t win because she doesn’t believe in Harvey, but Jessica does. Daniel thinks she
trying to humiliate him, like she did by summoning him to her office.
”I summoned you because I wanted to understand who you were threatening earlier,” she
says. ”(With) The fact that if I’m not careful, you’ll try to take this office back.”
She knows a law was broken, she’s not planning to sit by and do nothing.
Rachel brings Louis Marco’s tennis ball. She knows what a huge tennis fan he is. He doesn’t
quite manage a thank you.
Jessica goes to see Donna. Harvey was going to talk to her, but Jessica says it’s her firm. ”Am
I being fired?” Donna asks. ”Yes,” Jessica says. However she feels about her and all she’s done
for them, she has no choice. Donna fights off tears.
She packs up her desk. Rachel, Mike and Harvey watch her go.

Summary: Harvey’s personal history with a client forces he and Mike to take
on an unorthodox case from which they’d normally walk away. Louis
and Rachel team up to save a mutually beloved institution from ruin.
Jessica runs into an unexpected roadblock while defending the firm
against a lawsuit.

Open with Harvey calling for a car and

a tuxedo. He drops by Mike’s apartment
unannounced and tells him he needs him
to grab his tux and come with him. Mike
doesn’t have a tux.
Louis and Rachel run into each other
at the ballet. Both are huge fans and he
ends up inviting her to sit with him for
the second act. Neither has been able to
get in touch with Donna.
It turns out Harvey brought an ex-
tra tux for Mike. The two of them pull
up in front of a casino in Atlantic City
with some contracts. At the front door he
is told the man he is meeting, Keith, is
in the poker room. Keith is a friend of
Harvey’s who was giving a keynote that
speech. As they reach the poker room Harvey tells Mike that Keith is a gambling addict and
alcoholic. Keith has about $3 million in chips in front of him and pushes all of them in the mid-
dle. He’s called and has his opponent beat before a miraculous card is turned over. A spectator
stands up and takes a napkin with him. Keith has apparently just lost his company.
Upstairs Keith tells Harvey he put his company up as collateral for a $3 million loan, plus
$500,000 of anything he won. Keith wants to know if there is anything they can do and references
Harvey owing him one. It seems Keith was pretty drunk when he made the deal.
After the ballet Louis runs into Sergei, the director of the ballet company. He is complaining
about the rehearsal space his dancers have to use and Louis offers to help him resolve the issue.
Harvey pays a visit to Tommy, the man who holds the napkin contract. After confirming that
the napkin meets the criteria for a valid contract, Harvey offers Tommy his $3 million, plus
the extra half million to let this issue go. Since Keith’s company is worth ten times that much,
Tommy declines the offer.

 Suits Episode Guide

When Louis gets frustrated with Harold, he decides to have Rachel help him with the ballet
case. He wants her to investigate the company thoroughly.
Jessica calls Harvey. She tells him she’s assigning him a temp to replace Donna. Their critical
motion to seal has just been denied by the judge. Jessica plans to pay a visit to the judge, Ella
Fullman. Harvey has a casino connection to help him get surveillance footage from the poker
room.
Jessica recognized the judge as a woman she played a prank on when the two were in law
school together. Ella doesn’t seem as if she’s going to be a friendly face on the bench.
Harvey’s plan is to use the footage from the casino and dismiss based on the number of drinks
Keith had that night. Harvey’s new assistant has gone a little crazy changing things around.
Jessica tells Harvey she got Ella drunk and left her in a law school class naked. She has a
plan to get Ella to recuse herself.
Mike watched the video and we see Keith had at least 15 drinks that night. Rachel tells him
about working with Louis.
During the first meeting with a judge, Tommy’s attorney points out that Harvey made them
an offer that night. Because of that fact the judge decides the case should go to trial.
Harvey thinks what is important is making sure Keith stays in control of the company. He
wants to bring in Keith for a deposition.
Rachel shows Louis she’s found something related to lead paint. He thinks it could be a
game-changer.
Jessica meets Ella at a fundraiser. She tells Ella the firm has already donate to her elec-
tion campaign. Jessica basically threatens her with the potential of an ugly conflict of interest
situation.
Louis and Rachel show the owner of the ballet hall the paint and threaten him with legal
action if he doesn’t pay to have it fixed. He points out that the contract stipulates all repairs are
to be paid for by the ballet from a special fund. They have been paying into the fund, but the
money seems to be gone. Since Louis threatened him with a suit, the owner decides he’s going
to counter-sue and have the ballet evicted.
During Tommy’s deposition Harvey and Mike point out that Tommy doesn’t really have the
expertise to run an energy company. But during trial Tommy points out that he rarely knows
anything about the companies he takes over. What he does is hire people with the proper exper-
tise. When compared to Keith, Tommy appears to be the more stable person to be in control of
the company. The judge gives Tommy control of the company.
After this setback Harvey tells Mike he doesn’t think they’re going to win. The plan is some
kind of bluff involving a threat.
Louis is upset that Sergei lied to him but is struggling with having to get rid of him. Rachel
points out the ballet is bigger than Sergei.
Cut to Louis at the theater telling Sergei that the ballet will be able to pay their debts by firing
him and his bloated salary.
Ella tells Jessica she’ll recuse herself as long as Jessica admits she played the joke in part to
give herself he best chance to get a job. Jessica does just that.
While Rachel tells Mike she liked working for Louis, Mike spots Louis’ Dictaphone. After a few
moments he listens to the recording Louis made of Mike and Harvey in Harvey’s office.
Harvey tells Tommy that Keith has given him power of attorney. And if Tommy doesn’t turn
back over the company Keith will cooperate with some of the lawsuits currently pending, essen-
tially destroying the company’s value. One of the options Harvey gives Tommy is to play him in
poker with the company on the line.
Mike thinks playing poker for $30 million is crazy. He tells Harvey about Louis taping their
conversation.
During the first hand of the poker game Harvey pulls off a huge bluff. We learn later that was
enough to rattle Tommy and Louis won the match in about 20 minutes.
Jessica expresses concern regarding Harvey’s reckless behavior. Eventually she says she
needs to know he’ll be able to focus on the suit.
Harvey storms into Louis’ office with the Dictaphone. He gets into Louis’ face and says that
he won’t do anything now, but that Louis owes him one.

Summary: As the fallout continues to reverberate from the pending lawsuit
against Pearson Hardman, Harvey turns to a former colleague, with
whom he has a thorny past, for help in proving the firm’s case.

Open with Harvey being deposed by

Travis. Travis has no interest in offer-
ing the firm a settlement that doesn’t
include Harvey being disbarred. Travis
starts making fun of the Harvey/Jessica
dynamic. When Travis takes a shot at
Harvey’s mother, Harvey punches him in
the face.
Daniel suggests they do some practic-
ing before trial to ensure Harvey doesn’t
lose his cool. Harvey agrees. The plan is
for Louis to play the role of Travis during
the rehearsals.
Harvey still hasn’t heard from Donna.
Mike is drafted to help Louis during the
mock trial. Harvey and Mike plan not to
discuss the ”trial” until it is finished.
Harvey asks Zoe to do jury consulting work for the firm. She realizes that Jessica will have to
be convinced.
Rachel asks Mike if he thinks it’s possible Harvey ”did it.” Mike says he believes Harvey, then
has an idea. Rachel wonders what happens to Mike if Harvey loses.
Mike suggests Louis should use the fact he doesn’t think Harvey has any integrity against
him. Mike calls Louis out for being devious when he planted his Dictaphone in Harvey’s office.
And Mike thinks he should use that in the trial run.
Harvey finds Donna and asks if she’ll help him with the trial run. She’s upset that Harvey
wouldn’t fire her himself. He tells her he needs her. She says she’s hired an attorney and plans
to plead the fifth.
Zoe tells Jessica and Harvey then need men on the jury. Harvey thinks that Zoe working at
the firm previously will help them at trial. The deal is sealed when she promises to keep Daniel
out of the loop.
Louis questions Harvey on the ”stand.” He appears to score some points.

55
 Suits Episode Guide

Mike questions Rachel, who is pretending to be Donna. It appears that Mike plans to be very
harsh with Donna on the stand, using her claims as being the city’s best legal secretary against
her.
Louis has Mike take a polygraph in an attempt to get him to give up info about Harvey. He
asks Mike about law school and Mike is evasive. Mike gets up and leaves, promising to get him
Donna.
Donna tells Mike about hiring an attorney and having promised she’ll avoid the firms until
Harvey’s trial is over. Mike is pissed at her, saying Harvey could lose his ability to practice law
because of her mistake.
When Louis tries to call Jessica for the trial run, she thinks Daniel is trying to make her look
bad. She eventually agrees and takes the stand. Louis asks her about Harvey’s compensation
and how important his trial success is in being a senior partner. He points out there seems to be
a win-at-all-costs environment at the firm.
Harvey and Zoe have a flirty dinner. She asks if he’s worried. He says no. She says the reason
they never got together years earlier is he never showed any vulnerability. She thinks the jury
needs to care about him.
Surprisingly Donna shows up for her portion of the questioning. Mike tells Louis to read from
the script he gave her. He asks whether she would have shredded documents for Harvey if he’d
asked. She pauses and Louis follows up by asking if she loves Harvey. He brings up her most
recent failed relationship and the fact she chose work (Harvey) over him. He then badgers about
whether she loves Harvey and eventually Harvey stands up and tells him to stop. A stunned
Donna storms out and leaves the building without speaking to anyone.
In the bathroom Harvey tells Louis he crossed the line. Louis tells him Travis won’t stop and
he was just doing his job. He says what is happening, including Donna being humiliated, is all
Harvey’s fault.
Outside Donna yells at Mike. He says all he was doing was trying to help Harvey. During the
argument Mike gets another idea.
Mike is going through all of Travis’ cases, looking for something illegal. Daniel finds him
working in the conference room and decides to help him.
Jessica questions Harvey. Jessica tries to establish that Harvey cares about his clients and
the people he works with, but he doesn’t want anybody to know he cares. She asks why and
Harvey says caring is weakness.
Afterwards Harvey asks Zoe if Jessica’s questions were her idea. She says yes.
Jessica asks Louis if he resents Harvey for being better than he is. He admits the answer is
yes, but also admits Harvey deserves to be senior partner and is an excellent attorney. And he
reluctantly says he doesn’t think Harvey committed the fraud.
Mike tells Jessica he thinks she should be finding a way to settle. When she says they haven’t
found a way yet, he tells her he’s found something on Travis.
Travis pays Harvey a visit, holding a settlement that gets Harvey off the court. Harvey is
genuinely surprised.
The settlement costs every partner in the firm $100,000. Daniel likes it, but Jessica thinks
she can win at trial. Daniel tells them he’s found dirt on Travis, but doesn’t tell them what it is.
The plan is for the partners to take a vote.
Harvey tells Mike they’re not going to take the deal. Mike thinks it’s because he doesn’t trust
Daniel. Mike counters that if they take it to trial it will ”cost us a whole lot more than money.”
The partner vote is a tie, with Harvey casting a vote in favor of the settlement. The instant
the settlement is agreed upon Daniel calls a partners meeting to discuss whether Jessica should
retain her position as managing partner.

Summary: With the continuing upheaval at the firm, Mike and Harvey reflect back
on how their past decisions have influenced their present situation.

The episode begins with Harvey telling

Mike that he is not coming in today. He
asks Mike’s opinion why he thinks Hard-
man will win the race for the MD’s po-
sition. Mike says that he will not call
for a vote; unless he has one. Harvey
thinks that they need to tip the scales in
Jessica’s favor; and for that they might
have to cross lines. Cut to five years
ago, Donna tells Harvey that his father
called and that he asked as to why hasn’t
the firm made Harvey a partner yet. She
tells him that Louis is getting a secretary
named Norma. Alongside, we see that
Mike is still a pot smoking bike messen-
ger and he lives with a roommate named
Trevor.
At the office, Jessica tells Harvey that she needs his help in figuring out who is stealing from
their client’s escrow accounts; he needs to be discreet. He agrees but he says that in return he
needs a ’seat at the table’. Harvey tells Donna about his secret mission. He tells her to find out
about five escrow accounts and she tells him that Zoe handles the accounts. Next, in the present
day, Mike asks Rachael’s help for getting in touch with Monica Eaton who no longer works with
the firm. Cut to five years ago, Louis is trying to get close with Monica but no luck. Harvey arrives
and Louis wonders why Harvey gets a one-on-one with Jessica and he doesn’t as Louis is the
junior partner and Harvey is still an associate. Harvey goes to meet Zoe.
He flirts a little with her and she realizes that he wants to have a look in at her files. He asks
her to type her password and leave for five minutes. Mike and Trevor at a bar, trying to hook
up with women. Trevor tries to impress the girls by telling them about Mike’s intellect. But Mike
isn’t too comfortable. He asks Trevor to stop. At the office, Harvey tells Jessica that Louis is the
guy they are looking for. He has been spending a lot of cash recently. Jessica calls in Louis for a
talk; but she realizes that he is not their guy. She storms into Harvey’s office and tells him that
he gave her the wrong name. Harvey infers that Louis is being framed. He tells Donna that even
if Louis hasn’t done it, he can help him figure out who is doing it.

 Suits Episode Guide

He goes to meet Louis. Trevor tells Mike that he has already hooked with the blonde girl.
But Mike tells him that he prefers the blonde instead of Nikki. But Trevor has already called
the blonde. Harvey meets Louis and shows him the papers; the names have been blacked out
for privacy. Louis, the financial wiz instantly figures out that someone is being framed by the
embezzler to take the fall; well poor thing isn’t aware that it is him! In the present day, Mike
meets Monica. He tells her that he knows that five years ago, she ’got screwed’. He has drawn up
a lawsuit in her name, seeking $10 million from Pearson-Hardman as damages. He is ready to
help and he ensures Harvey’s backing. Jessica need not know. But Monica says that she doesn’t
want anything to do with this.
He tells her to call him if she changes her mind. Cut to the past, Harvey tells Jessica that it
is Daniel who is stealing the money. He is moving money from one account to another making
it look as if Louis is doing it. Jessica takes a look at the proof and realizes that Harvey is right.
He tells her to go to the DA; but she is taking it to Daniel. Mike arrives to meet Nikki; but he still
likes the blonde. But as per the rules, Trevor is going to get her. Jessica confronts Hardman and
he tells her that he did that for Alisha; she is dying of Stage Four breast cancer. He stole that
money for her treatment which is not covered by insurance. During their date, Nikki tells Mike
that she will pay him $1000 for taking her LSATs. He realizes that this is the reason she wanted
him to date her instead of Jenny, the blonde.
He walks off. He then goes to see Edith; she has had a fall and is going to need full time care.
Harvey thinks it is wrong that Jessica is ready to let Hardman walk off. But she feels that he is
the reason why she is in the firm and besides she feels sorry for his wife. Mike tells Nikki that
she has to pay him $5000 for taking the tests; but he wouldn’t tell her the reason. Donna meets
Rachael and learns that Monica is at her weekly Pilates class. She lights up and rushes to tell
Harvey. Next, we see Harvey arriving at a hotel room. Hardman is in the room with Monica and
all the money is not going for his wife’s treatment; it is obvious now. He is having an affair with
Monica. He asks him to sign his resignation and name Jessica as his successor.
Harvey tells Hardman that if he doesn’t sign it, his wife will arrive in this room in minutes.
In the present day, Louis tells Hardman that he knows Mike met with Monica. He thinks that
means Jessica is making a move. Since Jessica hasn’t been as good to Louis, he is giving him
this information. Harvey walks into a place that is closed for maintenance. Cut to the past, Mike
arrives for the test; he is high. Nikki gets worried but he says that it is alright. Harvey arrives
at the office, declaring to Donna that Hardman is gone. But she is upset. She tells him that his
father had a heart attack and he passed away. Harvey fights to hold back his tears. Jessica fires
Monica.
Monica tells her that if she does so, she will sue the firm for wrongful termination. Jessica
tells her that she will implicate her in Hardman’s crimes. In the present day, Hardman barges
into Jessica’s office telling her that he didn’t expect her to play dirty; he tells her about Mike’s
meeting with Monica. But she doesn’t know anything about it. She confronts Mike and asks him
to drop what he is doing. Rachael is pissed on learning why Mike wanted her help. He tells her
that sometimes they need to cross the line to do the right thing. Harvey has trained him well! In
the past, Trevor shows Mike a bag full of weed that can make them rich and he is planning to
move out.
Jessica calls Harvey and tells her that she is announcing his name as a partner in the part-
ner’s meet. He will be taking her office while she is going to move into Hardman’s. Zoe tells
Harvey that she is leaving the firm; she feels that he has lost his way. In the present day, Harvey
arrives at a cemetery. He pours two shots of scotch. He drinks one and leaves the other one on
his father’s tombstone. At the office, he has a conversation with Jessica. We she was in on the
Mike-Monica plan the whole time. If they could manage to screw Hardman once, they can do it
one more time. There is one more thing; he says that he is going to get Donna back.

With the partner vote coming up in four
days it looks like the numbers are even,
with a tie going to Jessica.

Louis is overcome with joy. Daniel tells
him the move is official but wants him to
wait on telling anybody until after the vote.

thing” was to fire Harvey’s temp assistant.
Harvey is defending a TV sports talking head named Zielinski who is being sued for saying on

 Suits Episode Guide

Jessica confronts Daniel about making Louis senior partner. He thinks she should have pro-
moted him years earlier. This leads to an argument about how she got the firm. She offers him
an opportunity to take a few lawyers and leave the firm. He says the only reason he even came
back is because Harvey approached his teenage daughter about his infidelity.
Jessica tells Harvey he needs to counteract Daniel’s promotion of Louis. Since Louis idolizes
him so much she wants Harvey to be nice to him.
Mike is looking for a place in Manhattan for Edith to live. Rachel decides to help.
Louis tells his parents about he promotion. Harvey comes into his office, gives him the address
of his tailor and invites him to dinner.
During dinner Harvey tells Louis about Daniel trying to make him the patsy when he embez-
zled money from the firm. Louis points out Harvey is using him the same way Daniel is. Louis
storms out of the restaurant.
Rachel and Mike find the perfect apartment for Edith. There is definitely some sexual tension
between the two.
Harvey tells Mike about getting shot down by Louis.
Zielinski tells Harvey there is no way he’ll retract his charge against Solis. He wants Solis to
have an asterisk by his name, a la Roger Maris. He says he has a rock-solid source that Solis
is juicing, but won’t reveal who it is. After the meeting Harvey tells Mike he thinks Zielinski is
probably right, and they need to figure out how Solis passed the drugs tests. Mike is given that
task.
Harvey comes to Louis with an asterisk argument. He thinks Louis shouldn’t want to be
named senior partner under these circumstances. Once again Louis rebuffs him, pointing out
that Jessica didn’t have the courtesy to court him herself.
Mike tells Rachel he cancelled a dinner engagement with Edith because of his work commit-
ments. She shows him her LSAT scores have come in the mail but she’s too nervous to open the
envelope. She’s gotten a great score.
Mike has figured out Zielinski’s source is an old teammate of Solis’ who provided him with
clean urine. Harvey thinks they can make use of this information without going public.
Jessica isn’t surprised Harvey couldn’t close Louis. She sent him first because Louis wouldn’t
believe her if he didn’t have to work to get her there. Harvey thinks Louis’ anger is ”deep” and
words won’t be enough. Harvey offers up his office, a sign he’s putting the firm’s needs above his
own.
Mike confronts Solis outside the stadium. He says if Solis doesn’t drop his suit and retire,
they’ll go public with him being a cheater. If he does, Zielinski will never mention him on-air
again.
Louis tells Jessica he wants to be valued, nothing more. He closes the door and says he’s
tired of being strung along. Jessica explicitly tells him that Daniel is buying him. Louis says it’s
time she put Harvey in his shadow and essentially threatens to go with Daniel. Jessica tells him
that she was prepared to give him Harvey’s office, but since he’s threatened her has changed her
mind. She promises him she’ll win the vote and if he’s on the wrong side there will be ”no coming
back.”
Louis confronts Daniel about him making him a patsy. Daniel said the reason he used him
was his financial expertise and it wasn’t personal. Louis says he could’ve been sent to prison
and Daniel says he didn’t care back then. Daniel says he’s a different man and if Louis doesn’t
believe he can be managing partner he shouldn’t vote for him. He also says making him partner
was not contingent upon a vote for him.
Harvey tells Zielinski about Solis retiring on the condition he never mention him again. Zielin-
ski hates the idea. Mike walks in Zielinski’s source, who is furious because he think he was given
up. Harvey says the only way he can protect his source (and therefore his career) is to take the
deal.
Louis stops in to see Jessica and Harvey. He gives them his senior partner buy-in check but
tells them they’ll have to wait 24 hours to see which way he’ll vote.
Mike is putting the finishing touches on Edith’s new apartment. There is a knock at the door
but it is Rachel, not Edith. She tells him that Edith has passed away.

Summary: Harvey needs Mike’s help as the battle for control of Pearson Hardman
reaches its climax. But Mike drops off the grid following a dramatic
turn in his personal life.

The episode begins with the vote being

cast, and Jessica along with Hardman
waiting for the outcome. Rachel on the
other hand is surprised to see Mike at
work. Mike tells Rachel Harvey doesn’t
know about his grandmother’s death.
Mike explains that there is a vote going
on and hence he has ’bigger things on
his mind’. Rachel then tries to make Mike
feel better about his loss, but to no avail.
He makes it amply clear to her that he
doesn’t want to talk about it, and asks
her to stop bothering him. Jessica in the
meanwhile reveals to everyone as per the
results of the vote, the managing part-
ner is Daniel Hardman ’effective immedi-
ately’.
Daniel then calls Harvey aside and tells him that he wants them to find a way ’to work
together’. Daniel also urges Harvey to not leave the firm. Later an outraged Harvey tells Jessica
that they can’t work for Daniel. Jessica though tells Harvey to keep his head down and wait till
they can make a move from a position of strength. Daniel later tells Louis that his intentions are
to fire Harvey, as he could create problems. Louis after a bit of contemplation asks Daniel ’tell
me what to do?’ Louis then later hands Mike files of a few cases that he wants Mike to attend
to immediately. He also taunts Mike about how he owns him now, and how Mike can quit if he
doesn’t like it.
Harvey on the other hand is moving to a lower floor like he has been ordered to, by Daniel.
Louis meanwhile comes in and hands Harvey a case file that he wants him to work on. Harvey
later hands the file to Mike, for him to work on. Mike though loses his cool and taunts Harvey,
telling him that he and Jessica have lost and he should learn to accept failure. Harvey on seeing
Mike’s reaction, asks Mike to go home. With Mike gone, Harvey discovers that work doesn’t get
done as fast by the others, as Mike does it. Donna reminds Harvey that it was he who sent Mike
back home yesterday. She also tells Harvey that, no one else has been made available to him for
help, besides Mike. Mike in the meanwhile is with Rachel, at his grandmother’s funeral.

 Suits Episode Guide

Tess along with Rachel asks Mike to say a few words about his grandmother, assuring him
that it will make him feel much better. Mike then with tears in his eyes pays homage to his
grandmother. He tells everyone present how she wasn’t just his grandmother, but his whole
family. Tess later tells Rachel about the history she and Mike had, from the time they were kids,
till they grew up. Louis in the meanwhile tells Harvey that he wants the file he had given him
earlier, completed by 4 in the evening. Then before leaving, Louis hurls a few taunts at a visibly
frustrated Harvey. At home, Tess and Mike have a heart to heart.
He tells Tess he was working the day his grandmother passed away, and how guilty he feels
about it, even today. He tells her how he ’did not even get to say goodbye to her’. The two then kiss
and begin making out. Tess then suddenly stops him and says ’I am married’. Mike is shocked
to hear this and asks her to ’get out’. Harvey later pays Mike a visit, at his house. Mike tells
Harvey about his grandmother’s death; Harvey in turn tells him that he knows. He also tells
Mike that it was the very reason he was keeping Mike busy, so he could his mind off it. Donna in
the meanwhile gives Louis a piece of her mind, and tells him what she thinks about him. Harvey
and Mike on the other hand are busy smoking some pot, at Mike’s place.
Mike tells Harvey how he feels like an orphan now that he has lost his grandmother. Harvey
then tells Mike about his father and how he had caught his mother cheating on his father when
he was 16. Harvey let this go on for two years and did not say a thing about it, to his father. He
then makes his point that, a person can be alone and feel like an orphan despite having a family.
The two then decide to take a piss in Louis’ office, in order to vent some of their frustration. Louis
in the meanwhile is trying to hack into Harvey’s office computer. He then from a distance sees
Mike and Harvey walking towards the office.
Harvey questions Louis as to what Louis is doing in his office; he then proceeds to punch
Louis in anger but is prevented from doing so by Mike. Louis then leaves Harvey’s office in a
hurry. Later it strikes Harvey that, it might have been Hardman who planted the memo earlier.
The two then conclude after looking at relevant files that, Tanner was in cahoots with Hardman.
They later tell Jessica about it and ask her to call a partner meeting, in order to address this
issue. Jessica though, wants proof before she can do so. Later, Harvey questions Tanner about
his equation with Hardman, Tanner though isn’t forthcoming. The two then decide to settle the
matter over a boxing match, where Tanner agrees to talk if Harvey can defeat him.
The two in the end decide to call a truce. Tanner then admits to Harvey that the memo was
a fraud, but also makes it clear to Harvey that he isn’t ready to come forward regarding this
issue. Mike and Rachel meanwhile make out in the office. Rachel though stops Mike midway and
reminds him that his grandmother has just died, hence the timing isn’t appropriate. Mike though
isn’t very happy at being pushed away, but respects Rachel’s decision. Louis on the other hand
gets Daniel’s approval to get a drug test done for all its employees, which also includes Harvey.
Louis tells Harvey how he smelled pot on him last night when Harvey manhandled him in his
office.
Harvey refuses to take the test, despite Louis threatening to fire him if he does. Jessica later
urges Harvey to take the test, Harvey though tells her that he can’t and confesses to her that he
smoked pot last night. Later a meeting is convened of all the partners. Daniel tells the partners
how Harvey has refused to take a drug test, leaving him no choice but to fire Harvey. Harvey is
then given an opportunity to dispute this allegation. Harvey instead gets up and admits to the
partners that he was high, as he has to work for a guy like Daniel. Harvey and Jessica then bring
up the memo. Daniel though refutes the charge and says they don’t have a shred of evidence.
Mike enters just then and tells everyone that there is evidence.
He then places on the table a signed affidavit by Lawrence Kemp stating that, he told Daniel
about the defects in the CM hood 6 years ago. Daniel despite the revelation reminds Jessica that
it won’t hold in court. He then brings up Harvey’s drug issue and calls for a vote. He is then
surprised to find that he has very little support, including Louis supporting Harvey. Jessica in
turn, calls for a vote to dismiss Daniel, and gets the support of nearly all the partners. Later,
Mike admits to Harvey, he himself had signed the document and not Lawrence Kemp.
Later, Mike calls Tess home, and the two end up having sex. While in bed with Tess, he hears
a knock at the door. He then opens it and sees Rachel standing at the door. Rachel in turn is
shocked to see a naked Tess in the background.

Summary: Harvey and Mike take on a criminal suit that hits close to home for
Mike, who struggles to separate his personal feelings from the facts of
the case.

The episode begins with Mike smoking

pot after having sex with Tess. Tess feels
that he is trying to get high as he is
scared of talking to Rachael as it was an
awkward situation when Rachael stopped
by and saw them together. Mike tells Tess
that Rachael is just a friend. She then
tells him that he needs to go to work
the next day and Mike knows that her
husband arriving in town the next day.
The next day at work, Donna asks Har-
vey if he called Zoe on a date behind
her back. He admits that he did call Zoe;
but it was strictly for business. Well, she
doesn’t buy that.
Mike walks into Rachael’s office and
says that he is sorry. For what; what he
did or for what he saw? She then asks him if Tess knows that six hours before he screwed Tess,
he tried to screw Rachael. Mike tells her that Tess is married. Harvey arrives and takes Mike with
him. They then go to meet a boy named Liam, who is the son of one of Harvey’s acquaintances.
Liam tells them that he hit a man when returning from a party the last night. He tells them that
he wasn’t drinking and that they can confirm the same with anyone at the party. The problem
is Liam fled the scene after the accident. So, now it is a hit and run. Harvey tells Mike that he
wants to sit this one out as his parents were killed by a drunk driver and so maybe he might be
bias on this one. But Mike manages to talk his way in. Harvey then checks the car and sees that
the damage is on the side.
This means that the man came out of nowhere. Mike arrives with the information that a man
named Albert was admitted to the hospital. He has a contusion and a concussion. Liam tells
them that he called 911. Harvey thinks that Liam needs to turn himself in. Liam’s mother is
not too sure. Mike tells them that it is Liam’s decision. Liam turns himself in. Liam and Mike
are at the station and Mike reassures him. Louis meets with Sheila who is very impressed with

63
 Suits Episode Guide

his promotion. She’s lining up promising potential first-year associates for him. She hands him
a room key and tells him to join her the following night for some kinky fun. Mike and Harvey
meet Katrina, the assistant DA. Harvey tells her that they are ready to do maximum community
service and also pay a fine. But Katrina asks them if they would cover the funeral costs?
They are shocked. She tells them that the man died as the concussions led to a brain bleed.
She is offering Liam 10 years. Louis is interviewing the potential candidates. He like the first one
he interviews, Maria, a no nonsense lawyer! Mike tells Harvey that there is a good reason Liam
could not have seen the man who died; he was wearing a black hoodie, black pants and black
sneakers. Mike shows a picture of graffiti on a wall. Mike thinks that Albert was tagging the wall
and trying to get away. This is good news! Harvey wants Mike to meet Katrina. Mike tells Katrina
they’ll plead to a misdemeanor. She thinks she’s doing him a favor because the DA doesn’t like
Harvey and a jury trial could be tough. In return for putting the deal through, she wants a job
Pearson Hardman.
Harvey tells Mike that he is not interested in interviewing Katrina; but he will take the deal.
Harvey tells Mike that they need to settle with Albert’s family. Mike knows that Harvey is indi-
cating that it is the best to settle with the family before their grief turns into anger. Mike knows
how it feels when someone tries to put a value to a loved one’s life. Mike tells Rachel and tells
her to keep Tess’ marriage a secret. She then tells him that she too had an affair with a married
man and such a relationship has only one ending. Mike then meets Albert’s family and he tells
them the offer. Albert’s sister tells Mike that they only need to pay off Albert’s debts and cover
his funeral costs which is $20,000. Mike insists that they should take the 100k. He insists.
The family signs the deal. Louis meets Sheila in the hotel room. He tells her that Maria is
the fore runner. She agrees to help him close the deal. Harvey arrives to pick up Zoe. He meets
her niece there. Zoe tells him that her brother dropped off Olivia unannounced and so their
date might not go as planned. Harvey then agrees to help her babysit. Mike tells Tess about his
negotiation for the settlement. He’s happy he was able to give them ”dignity” and says his was
best-ever day at work. Harvey calls Mike and says he needs to help walk Liam through the plea
deal. Mike has been smoking weed but thinks he can pull it off without anybody noticing. Liam
signs the settlement; he is relieved. He tells Mike that things could have been much worse.
He then admits that he was high when he hit Albert and Mike is shocked. Mike updates
Harvey. Harvey tells him that this changes nothing. Harvey knows that Mike offered them 100k
when they wanted only 20k. He has warned Mike that such a situation could arise. Louis intro-
duces Maria to Donna. Maria tells Donna that she does not remembers a guy named Mike from
Harvard as she is sure that she remembers everyone from her class. Donna tells her that Mike
interned for three years; so it is possible that they were not in the same class. Harvey tells Jess
that Louis has hired Maria who could expose Mike. Jess asks Louis to stop the hiring as there is
an employment freeze and so there is going to be no hiring for the time being.
In the court, Mike tips off Katrina with the fact that Liam was drunk when he hit Albert. But
then she goes ahead with the plea as signed and the judge rules the case closed. Mike confronts
her in the hallway and she tells him that she knew he was trying to break privilege and she
did not want to be a part of it. Donna tells Harvey that Katrina called and said that the deal is
done. He tells Donna to get the paper work started. Donna questions him if he is sure about
hiring Katrina; he tells her to go ahead. Louis tells Sheila about not hiring Maria. She says she’s
disappointed that he’s not the man she thought he was and kicks him out. Louis blames it on
the freeze. She tells him she knows for a fact that Harvey just hired somebody that day.
Mike is pissed that Harvey bribed Katrina and offered her a job. Harvey tells him that he did
that to save him. He knew what Mike would do and that is why he did what he did. But he also
says that the next time he has to cross a line to save Mike, he will definitely thinks about it twice.
Mike meets Liam with the final settlement. He is pissed with Liam and asks him to clean up his
act.
Harvey arrives to meet Zoe and she tells him that her brother has terminal cancer. And she
will have to look after her niece for ever after he dies. Mike arrives home and finds Tess lying on
his bed. He tells her that he cannot do it anymore. He tells her that this whole thing is disgusting.
He thinks that what they are doing is wrong. He asks her to leave. She leaves.

Summary: The war with Daniel may be over, but the battle has left Pearson Hard-
man vulnerable, and Harvey must protect the firm from a rival whose
attack seems as personal as it is professional. Louis and Mike are
forced to pay the price for previous actions.

The episode begins with Mike actually

trying to get his shit together; he vacu-
ums his stash of weed! Harvey arrives at
the firm sharp at 8 in the morning. Had
Harvey arrived early, it would mean the
night went bad; had he been late, it would
mean, his date went great; but since he is
on time, Donna infers that he did not go
on his weekend getaway! Harvey is not in
a good mood and would like to get to busi-
ness. Well, in that case Trent Evan has
arrived to meet him. He tells her to call
Mike. But Mike hasn’t arrived yet. Harvey
is angry and tells her that he must be in-
formed the moment Mike sets foot in the
office.
Harvey meets Trent and Trent looks
super tensed about his website going public. But it is not just that; Harvey thinks that this
meeting is about something else all together. Trent admits that he is worried about the changes
that are going around in the firm. He says that he needs to consider his options. Jess arrive to
meet Luis to give him a heads up about the fact that his client is about to leave the firm. Louis
goes to Harold and loses his cool at him. He tells Harold that he never loses his clients. He wants
Harold to send all the paper work to Rachael. Mike arrives at the office and Harvey tells him that
he is half an hour late. Mike acts casual about it; but Harvey is in no mood to let go.
He tells Mike that the clients are leaving and it is not fine. He says that he should have fired
him; but he did not as he was cutting Mike some slack as his grandmother died. But now he
wouldn’t; if Mike doesn’t get his act together, he would fire him the next day. Later, Donna asks
Harvey about his agitated behavior and he tells her that Zoe is leaving NY to take care of his
niece. Donna tells him that ’kicking the dog’ will not help. Next, Mike is at a bar and there he
meets Jimmy; an ex-colleague. Mike tells Jimmy that he was yelled at by Harvey; this is a shocker
even for Jimmy. He then tells him that he is happy as he has a job in another firm and an office
too! Now Mike is jealous!! Jimmy tells Mike that if he wants to jump, he is ready to put in a word.
Mike does not want to leave Harvey as Harvey has done a lot for him.

Jimmy then tells Mike that a lot of associates are planning to bail out on Pearson-Hardman.
But the rival firm is also coming after one of their clients as well. Mike goes to Harvey and
tells him about the same. Harvey at once realizes that this is Allison Holt’s doing. Allison was
supposed to kick Harvey out; but she got kicked out by Jess. But the fact is that Hardman
was the one who brought her in. Jess and Harvey go to meet Allison. Harvey knows that she
met Hardman six days ago. She is not even going to ask him how he knows it. Harvey tells her
that they are not letting Trent go. Allison tells them that everyone knows about the Civil war at
Pearson-Hardman. Their firm is falling apart. Jess and Harvey tell Allison that they are going to
sue her for using privileged information for poaching clients. Louis arrives and fires Harold.
Mike tries to talk to Louis and Louis tells him that there is no place for incompetency in this
firm. Harold tells them that it was not his fault that the client left. Louis says that the client fired
them, and so now he is firing him. Louis leaves. Later, Mike walks into Louis’ office and tells
him that Harold has agreed to pull up his socks and that he wouldn’t make a mistake again; he
thinks that Louis should hire him back. Louis then states the ”mistakes” Harold has committed
and yes, it is worrisome. But Louis then says that he can hire Harold back if Mike agrees to
personally guarantee that Harold’s work would be impeccable and without any mistakes; but
this Mike has to do along with all the work he has to do with Harvey!
Mike walks out of the office and tells Harold that there was nothing that he could do. Harold
is happy that Mike at least tried to talk to Louis. Harold then tells him that two other guys who
are under Louis are joining the rival form; he overheard them talking. Harold leaves. Mike goes
to Harvey and tells them about the other two people leaving; well all the guys who left were Louis’
first class employees. This means that Louis is feeding Allison with information. Harvey is pissed
and goes to confront Louis. He destroys Louis’ desktop and tells him that they are done. From
now on, it would be as if Louis doesn’t exist. Louis tells him that he did not sell any information
to Allison and that the firm was his life. Harvey is still not convinced and he cites all the previous
incidents where Louis had paired up with Hardman.
Harvey leaves. Louis meets Allison. He tells her that there is no room for him in Pearson-
Hardman and so he wants to leave. He says that he wants to join her firm. Allison tells him
that he could, but he wouldn’t get the position he wants. He needs to earn that; but however he
will be truly appreciated in their firm. Mike arrive and informs Harvey about the ”too good to be
true” deal Allison had offered Trent. Harvey and Mike go to Trent and Harvey asks him famous
question to Trent; ”what is in it for her”? Trent has always trusted Harvey’s decisions and so
Harvey asks him to trust him one more time and let him read the blue print. Louis goes to Jess
and tells her to sign on the non-compete. He tells her that he is the one who went to Allison for
the new job.
But he also says that he will not be taking any clients as he would never want to hurt Pearson-
Hardman. Jess tells him that she is letting him go; but she doesn’t want him to go and on this
one, she doesn’t agree with Harvey. Harvey drops Mike at the office where Mike finds Tess’
husband waiting for him. The guy beats Mike up and leaves. Mike then goes to the office where
he sees Louis leaving with a box of personal items from his office. Louis looks at Mike and tends
to his wound with a first-aid kit. Mike then asks Louis if Jess fired him; but h tells him that he
is leaving on his own. He tells Mike that Harvey and he were friendly enemies and now Harvey
despises him. He is not able to live with that fact and so he is leaving. Mike tells him that he
could help him with Trent’s contract as a sign of an apology. Louis agrees.
The next day, Hess arrives to meet Harvey and hands him Louis’ resignation. She makes it
very clear that she is not happy about Louis leaving. Mike arrives and they are shocked to see
that Mike got beaten up. Harvey is pissed and tells Mike that he would not spare the guy. Well,
when Mike tells him the fact, Harvey feels that Mike got off easy! Mike then tells Harvey that the
contract that Allison gave Trent was perfect; but there are problems in the financials. Harvey
realizes that Louis spotted it out. Mike tells Harvey that Louis was trying to apologize. All that
Allison wanted was Trent; she wanted nothing to do with the company as they would see it after
buying it. Trent has a non-compete signed with his company.

Summary: Harvey goes head to head against Robert Zane, Rachel’s father, on a
gender discrimination case that forces Rachel to confront her compli-
cated relationship with her Dad.

The episode begins with Harvey and Mike

throwing paper balls into the basket.
Well, it is a hame and Jessica arrives
and tells Harvey that the attorney they
had been dealing with on an important
gender discrimination case, Derek Por-
tis died and has been replaced. Harvey
tells Jessica that they need to tell the re-
placement that the settlement for the Ful-
some Food case requires his signature.
But Jessica tells him that it is not going
to be easy. Next, over a birthday lunch
Robert Zane, Rachael’s father and a top
class attorney, tells Rachel he’s taken the
case against Pearson-Hardman. She re-
members the case as the gender discrim-
ination case.
He tells her that he knows that she keeps a low profile at work. Well, it also looks like she did
not broadcast the fact that Robert is her father. There is clearly tension for Rachel over wanting
to prove to her father she is smart enough to be a lawyer. Robert says that it has been five years
and Rachael still hasn’t managed to become a lawyer. She is upset that her father chose to tell
her that she is incapable on her birthday! She leaves. Louis waits for Katrina Bennett in her
office. He tells her that he is going to be supervising her work. She doesn’t like it, but she doesn’t
have a choice. Rachel asks Mike to make her the paralegal for the case as the opposing counsel
is her father.
Mike is shocked to learn that Robert is her father. Mike is also shocked that she never men-
tioned him before. Mike wonders if it is a good idea for them to work together. Well! Robert sits
down with Harvey and Mike. He offers 2 million in place of the 10 million that Derek had for the
client. Harvey doesn’t agree to this, which means Robert will be re-deposing Sloane Mosley. Mike
goes all ”SIR” with Robert and Harvey doesn’t like that as well. He did notice that Rachael Zane
was made paralegal on this case! Katrina brings Donna cookies in order to get information about
Louis. She advises her to be ”ready to go the distance” while dealing with Louis.
Robert meets with Jessica. He suggests he firm needs a win, even if it means much less money
for their client. Jessica tells Harvey that Robert told her he thinks the firm needs a win. Jessica

69
 Suits Episode Guide

is furious as Robert just hit her below the belt. This means she is going to have to cut him off
from his knees. Katrina meets with Louis and apologizes for any possible misunderstanding. She
”begs” for his help and asks him to sign on as first chair on one of her cases. Louis is glad to help!
Rachael arrives to meet Harvey and Donna is ”not” on her chair. Rachael knows that she is here
because her last name is ”Zane”. She is totally prepared to face her father during the deposition.
But Harvey wants to know if it will rattle her father to see her on the chair. She says that
he would not even care. Harvey tells her that her relationship with her father is much worse
than she thinks and that Robert cares for her more than she can imagine. Prior to the deposition
Harvey asks Robert what his daughter will think of him after he deposes Sloane. He reminds
Robert that all this is happening because he tore up their deal. During the deposition Robert rips
into Mosley, calling her incapable of trying anything new in her life. Rachel looks uncomfortable.
Mike cuts the deposition short. After the deposition Rachel yells at Mike for trying to protect her.
He assures Rachel that she isn’t what is most important.
He tells her that she is trying so hard to prove herself that she forgot that this deposition
was about Sloane and not her. Katrina ends up tricking Louis into missing a court date with a
particularly strict judge. He tells her that she needs to pay the fine and also write an apology note
to the Judge. She says that she will not; she also asks him if he would like to go complaining
to someone? He is furious. Mike is upset with Harvey with trying to make things personal for
Robert. Harvey says Robert started the process when he challenged their firm. Jessica arrives
and she looks pissed.
She tells Harvey that he did not go far enough with things this time as Sloane has agreed to
settle for Robert’s low offer. Harvey meets Robert on the golf course and things go south. Robert
is pissed at the fact that Harvey put Rachael on the deposition so that she could see him rip
Sloane. He knows that Sloane caved after the deposition. Harvey tells him that no one wins if
they go to war. So, the settlement is now off; if Harvey wants something, he needs to take it
from the trial. Next, Louis shows up at Katrina’s trial. He has replaced the paperwork she needs
for her case with pictures of him photoshoped as various U.S. presidents. This gets her in deep
trouble with the judge.
Rachel tells Mike about the problems she’s having with her father. She has always been
looking for her father’s approval. She blames him for behaving the way he did despite the fact
that she was sitting there. Mike reminds her that she was the one who chose to be there. Donna
asks Louis to let it go with Katrina. Louis tells her to tell Katrina that he is not in a forgiving
mood. Mike comes to Harvey with information that the company uses a similar set of adjectives
for keeping the women from being promoted. Harvey and Mike tell Robert there were 113 different
employees in various departments who got the same treatment.
Harvey tells him that it would be too difficult for him to keep this off the court even for 200
million; and no Judge friend of his could help him out with this one. Louis tries to enter the
courtroom and finds that his expensive nail scissors were hidden in jacket pocket. He is placed
under arrest by an officer who is friendly with Katrina. Robert has a talk with his daughter. He
tells her that she is failing and it is tearing him from the inside. She tells him that she took the
L-SATs and she scored a 172. She did not tell him as she did not want him to joke about her
scores with the 177 he scored. She tells him that she is no more his little girl and he needs to
toughen up. Katrina finds Louis in a holding cell. She thinks that he has a problem with her
because she is a woman.
He laughs at this thought. He tells her that he worships women. He is angry with her because
she took the job from someone more deserving. They call a truce. Robert tells Jessica he wants
to decertify the class action suit. He is going to break the whole thing up into at least 45 cases
which will drain her of all her resources. He wants to merge firms. Harvey tells Jessica they can
only take these types of attacks for so long. Jessica shows Robert she’s willing to prosecute every
single one of the individual cases, even if it means crippling her firm. She thinks by the end of
the process she’ll be the winner. Later, Robert tells Rachel he’s dropping the case.
They seem to be getting along well and they decide to have lunch as the last one did not go
well. After he leaves Mike walks into Rachel’s office with a framed copy of her LSAT score. Robert
tells Jessica his firm is passing the case along to Daniel Hardman.

Summary: With the resources of the firm stretched to the limit, Daniel Hardman
returns with an outrageous lawsuit against Jessica.

Open with Daniel deposing Sloane Mosley,

the key witness in the Fulsome Foods
case. After a few questions Daniel reveals
that he’s really there to serve Harvey and
Mike as part of a $10 million wrongful
termination suit on behalf of Monica.
Daniel points out to Jessica and Har-
vey that because of confidentiality agree-
ments they won’t be able to testify about
knowing of Monica’s relationship with
him. On his way out of the building
Daniel needles Harvey about his name
not being on the door. He says the reason
Jessica won’t make him a name partner
is that she doesn’t trust him.
Harvey is upset with Jessica for sign-
ing the agreement and thinks they should
settle. Harvey also brings up the fact she never told him about it. She isn’t interested in settling.
Rachel shows Mike she’s working on her application to Harvard. She doesn’t want to apply
anywhere else because she wants to work at Pearson Hardman.
Louis asks Donna to try and convince Harvey to let him work on the Monica case. She doesn’t
want to do it.
Harvey tells Mike to focus on Fulsome Foods and let him handle Daniel.
Jessica drops by Robert Zane’s place and tells him to get rid of Daniel. He asks for the full
story as to why and she tells him about the confidentiality agreement she’s signed. It will cost
her $15 million to break the agreement and Robert seems impressed with Daniel’s work.
Harvey pays the judge who will be hearing their case a visit and presents an option for waiving
the confidentiality agreement. The judge says it won’t work and tells Harvey Daniel met with him
two weeks earlier.
Daniel arrives to depose Jessica. Donna escorts him to the conference room and slaps him
across the face a few times as retaliation for what she did to her with the planted memo. During
the deposition Daniel attempts to bait her into breaking the confidentiality agreement. He tries

71
 Suits Episode Guide

to make the point Monica was fired because she was younger, prettier and of a child bearing age.
Jessica walks out in disgust.
Harvey against tries to argue to Jessica that they should settle. She doesn’t want to do it,
despite the fact he thinks she’ll end up looking like a fool.
Mike asks Rachel for a transcript of Jessica’s deposition. He blames himself for what is hap-
pening and is worried if he doesn’t fix it there won’t be any more Pearson Hardman.
Mike meets with Monica and apologizes for what he did. She says she’s happy that Jessica is
paying the price for what happened.
Mike comes to Jessica with an idea they should get Monica to admit to the affair, which would
take gender off the table and help them with Fulsome Foods. She likes his idea and tells him
to take the lead in deposing Monica. But during the deposition Monica says she was terminated
because she was being harassed by Louis. Louis asked her out repeatedly and stared at her at
work. On top of that Monica gets on the record the fact that Jessica had her hand in her letter of
resignation to Louis.
In the bathroom Harvey asks Daniel what it would take to settle. He tells Harvey that Monica
wants to see a jury find Jessica guilty. Daniel points out that ultimately the firm can’t afford to
try all 45 cases and he is going to ”bleed you dry.”
Louis tells Harvey he wants to help. He thinks if he can talk to Monica outside the confines of
the case he can convince her to drop the suit. Harvey shows him a copy of what Monica said in
the deposition.
Rachel tells Mike her father is the reason she wants to be a lawyer. She wants to be considered
”amazing” just like he is. He tells her what he did to get hired by Harvey.
Harvey tells Jessica she’s ”out of control,” sayings she made a mistake having Mike take lead
in Monica’s deposition. Jessica says Mike’s idea was a good one, but the questions were being
asked of the wrong person.
During Daniel’s deposition they get him to admit on the record he had an affair with Monica.
Off the record he tells Mike that Jessica was behind everything that happened with the affair
being exposed. Daniel then reminds them they were the ones who fired Monica 24 hours after
finding out, which is all the jury will care about.
Louis corners Daniel in the elevator. He tells Daniel about the nature of his feelings for Monica
and promises that if he ever does anything to him again he is going to ”rip your smug face off
your fat neck.”
Mike tells Monica she was right about Jessica all along. He adds that she was fired because
Jessica didn’t trust her, not because she was a woman. He then tells her about the women in the
Fulsome cases and what her suit will do to them. He asks her to read the files and decide if the
women deserve to be treated fairly.
Mike is able to Monica to agree to a very inexpensive settlement. Jessica tells Harvey she’s
bugged by the fact Daniel was able to trick her with the agreement. He thinks if they settle it will
be a victory.
Rachel tells Mike her essay is about the fact her time as a paralegal will help her tremendously
in her legal career. They both realize she’s going to get into Harvard and talk about her being
gone.
Donna tells Harvey about hitting Daniel. Jessica tells Harvey to take Daniel’s name off the
wall.
Jessica asks Robert about merging their firms. He thinks there is no need now because ”Pear-
son Whatever” will soon be in shambles. They will be simultaneously trying seven different cases
in seven different jurisdictions. It was Daniel’s idea.

Summary: Dana ”Scottie” Scott returns to complicate Harvey and Jessica’s battle
against Hardman. But this time, she’s brought the full force of her
British firm.

The episode begins with Mike and Har-

vey watching a video tape of Hanley Fol-
som from Folsom Foods. Harvey tells
Mike that he wants to catch Hanley in
a lie. Mike tells him that he tried hiring
an investigator, but the authorization got
kicked. Harvey walks into Jessica’s of-
fice and tells her that he wants to talk
about resources. Jessica tells him that
he hasn’t returned a lot of calls. Har-
vey tells her that he has put seven cases
on fast track and the rest have to take
a back seat for now. He tells her that
he needs more lawyers and paralegals.
But she says that she cannot do so be-
cause they are bleeding and cannot afford
these.
Rachael is really not concentrating on her work and Mike puts her back on track. Harvey
arrives and tells Mike that there is a change of plans; instead of focusing on all the seven cases,
they put all their energy in one case. They decide on the Bakersfield case. It is run by Hanley’s
brother-in-law and has the worst stats. Harvey arrives at the conference room and finds Scottie
waiting for him. She tells him that she is ready to take ten of their cases. Well, she has already
taken Bakersfield. Harvey informs Jessica about Scottie and Jessica is very impressed. Harvey
thinks that the best way to deal with the situation is to join forces with Scottie’s infinitely deep
pocketed firm.
Jessica is reluctant because joining forces would mean that they will have to share all the
45 cases and all the winnings. Harvey says that this is their best way to beat Hardman. Jessica
agrees. Next, Mike is surprised when he finds out that Katrina is on Bakersfield. He tries telling
her that he is the lead on this one. But he soon finds out that she is pretty up to date on the
case. She suggests that they should skew the figures and Mike does not approve of it. Katrina
tells him that Jessica hired her and if he has any issues, he should take it up with Jessica. Mike
tells Harvey that he does not want to work with Jessica. Harvey tells him that he too doesn’t
want to work with Scottie; but thanks to the circumstances, he has to.

 Suits Episode Guide

Harvey meets Scottie and tells her that he is ready for the partnership. He tells her that
he knows that this is what she wanted all the time. Scottie decides to start with Bakersfield.
But Harvey thinks that they should start with Parkville; that is the toughest case to win and
Hardman would not be expecting them there. But the actual plan is to target all the 45 cities so
that they could confuse Hardman. Scottie knows that this is what Harvey wanted all the time.
Jessica arrives and tells Mike and Katrina that she wants to know more about Hanley than his
mistress knows about him. Mike then learns that Jessica didn’t actually assign Kat on this case;
she asked to be on this case.
This leads to an argument where Kat is forced to explain the circumstances in which she
was hired. On the private jet, Scottie makes a move on Harvey. She tells him that there are
advantages of being on the same side; they don’t have to put aside work for pleasure. He tries
to stop her on professional grounds; but then later he goes along with it. Rachael is rejected by
Harvard. Donna learns about it but she decides not to tell Mike. Mike wants to talk about the
case and Rachael fights back her tears. She tells him that they should take a look at Hanley’s
personal correspondence. But that is outside the scope. Mike wants to get it inside the scope.
Rachael agrees.
Harvey and Scottie arrive at Parkville and they are shocked to see that Hardman is already
there. Hardman knew that they were supposed to fly to Bakersfield. But then he thought how
would Harvey deal with the situation. This led him to check Scottie’s flight plans and he knew
that they are flying to Parkville. Scottie tells him that they are planning to fly to all the 45 cities.
Mike calls Harvey and tells him that he knows why they promoted Kathleen Mitchell. Kathleen
is Parkville’s manager and she is now being deposed. Harvey points out to the fact that Kathleen
had applied four times but had been denied promotion all the four times.
But then nine months before she got promoted, Kathleen had a hysterectomy. This means
that she could not have children and that is why Hanley promoted her. He wants people who can
completely dedicate themselves to work and that is not possible with children at home. Kathleen
tells him that she did not tell anybody about this. But Harvey is certain that Hanley found out.
Later, Scottie is pissed that Harvey did not fill her in on this. She then tells her that her last
loss to Harvey was the reason she did not become a partner. If she wins this case, she will get
her name on the door. Rachael is not focusing on her work and this is making Mike look bad in
Jessica’s eyes.
Mike is pissed and asks Rachael to get the work done. Later, when Rachael is trying to finish
her work for Mike, Kat arrives and tells her to stop doing what she is doing for Mike and get her
work done. Kat is really rude. Rachel is getting some photocopies made, when Louis arrives with
some work for her. He tells her that he knows about Harvard and is sure that she will get in.
But Rachael bursts into tears and tells him that she did not get in. Louis realizes that Sheila has
something to do with this and he tells Rachael that he will rectify this. When Harvey and Scottie
return they find Jessica and Scottie’s boss, Darby, waiting for them. Darby has shown up with a
file on client’s Daniel has wronged.
Rachael has found the access to Hanley’s personal correspondence that Mike has been looking
for. She also tells him about her interaction with Kat. Harvey and Scottie know that their bosses
are pissed with them because they were unable to turn Kathleen. Mike gives Harvey the detail on
Hanley; but it turns out that Kat has already given it to him an hour ago. He is not happy with
Mike. Mike yells at Kat for pursuing his idea and then taking credit for it. Louis meets Sheila and
tells her that she is behaving unprofessionally. He tells her that he wants to right a wrong. Sheila
finds this very noble and they have sex. Mike tells Rachael that they need to find the smoking
gun they are looking for before Kat finds it.
Rachael tells her that Kat has already found it and she has given it to a woman to make
copies. But this woman is a slow worker and so Mike decides to steal the copies from the copying
machine before the papers are sent to Jessica. After the sex, Sheila tells Louis that she did like
Rachael; but the fact is that she wasn’t good enough and that she needs to face the truth. Next,
Mike brings the smoking gun to Harvey and Jessica. Hardman and Hanley arrive at the firm for
the deposition and they are shocked to see Kathleen sitting in the conference room. They then
show Hardman and Hanley the copy of the email from Hanley’s inbox that Hanley wrote. It proves
that Hanley knew that Kathleen could not bear children and that is why he hired her.
They tell Hanley that they could show this email to Kathleen and she will be on their side.
Hardman tells them that this doesn’t prove a pattern and he will see them on the next 44 cases.

Next, Darby arrives to meet Jessica and she tells him that she is ready to consider his offer. She
hands him the firm’s books so that he exactly knows what he is getting into. Harvey sees this
through the door. He then meets Scottie and tells her that their bosses are talking about merger.
She tells him that she wants their names on the same door. She tells Harvey that Darby didn’t
let her tell him about the merger plans because Darby wasn’t sure about it. Harvey tells her that
this merger isn’t happening.
He leaves. Next, Darby and Jessica arrive to meet Hardman. She tells him that her firm is
merging with Darby’s and so she had to show him the books. This means that Darby now knows
about the embezzlement and so Hardman can lose his clients. On her way out, Jessica asks
Hardman to get his client to sign on the papers. Louis meets Rachael and he tells her that the
reason for her not getting into Harvard is his failed relationship with Sheila; and Sheila took it
out on her. He is ready to write a recommendation for her for any other law school. But she will
not be going to Harvard.

Summary: A British firm decides to sneak in with a tempting offer for Jessica’s
firm, clashing with Harvey’s plans for the future and Jessica’s own vi-
sion, and leaving them both to make up their minds on what direction
to take with their careers.

The episode begins with Mike and Jessica

having an argument about a file and Mike
does not want to hand over the file to her
because he doesn’t want to upset Harvey.
Cut to six nights earlier, Harvey arrives at
a party. He meets Mike and Mike hands
over three papers to him. He then goes
to get himself a drink. Louis gets into a
’muddy’ argument with Nigel, an English-
man, at the bar. Edward tells Harvey that
he wants to have a word with him. Har-
vey hands over the papers to Edward and
tells him that he knows that his clients
have a habit of fixing prices. Harvey is
completely against the merger with Ed-
ward’s firm and Edward tells him that he
will defeat him in court. Harvey tells him
that this wouldn’t get to court.
Instead, Edward will find himself on a steamer back to London wondering what happened and
realizing that he picked a fight with the wrong guy. Later, Harvey tells Jessica that if he defeats
Edward, the merger would not take place and that Edward will go back to London. He wants to
know why Jessica did not tell him before she showed Edward their books. She tells Harvey that
she did not want him to worry. She then tells Harvey that if he loses the case, he stays on and
earns his name to the door. Harvey is upset with Scottie because he feels that she back stabbed
him; she knew about the merger and she did not tell him. Next, Rachael tells Mike that she did
not get into Harvard. She then asks him how he felt when he got into Harvard; Mike has no
answer.
Louis sees Nigel kissing Donna’s hand and Louis freaks out. Nigel tells him that he was being
given a tour of their office. He then tells Louis that his favorite spot was Donna’s cubicle. Louis
confronts Donna and Donna tells him that Nigel only leaned to get a file. He is doing an efficiency
evaluation for Edward’s firm. But Louis tells her that he too has been asked to do one. So, it is
a test and Donna challenges him to beat Nigel. Next, Edward arrives at Harvey’s office and tells

77
 Suits Episode Guide

him that he is freezing his client’s assets. He is warning Harvey of the same so that he could get
some time to move his client’s money to fund his defense. He doesn’t think it would be sporting
to not give Harvey a fair chance. Louis and Nigel have another verbal sparring in the bathroom.
Rachael has drafted a letter on Mike’s letter head to Harvard so that she can go over Sheila’s
head. She feels that she was wronged. Mike tells her that he cannot sign the letter because it
would be hearsay; but he eventually agrees to help her. Mike then goes to Louis and confronts
him and Louis tells him the truth that Rachael did not get in because they thought that she
wasn’t good enough. Mike feels that Louis should tell her the truth. Louis tells Mike that he
cannot see the upset look on Rachael’s face. Edward tells Harvey that he would be leaving town
the following day and let his No. 2 handle the case. It then turns out that Edward freezing the
accounts was bait to open up Harvey’s clients for counter litigation.
Edward arrives to meet Jessica and she tells him that she knows that he is meeting with other
firms. She tells him that she wants them to win this case or else Harvey will lose respect for them
and eventually leave the firm. Later, Louis comes to meet Harvey and tells him that he supports
him 100 percent. He tells Harvey that he is scared and does not want the merger to happen
because he knows that if it does then he will be less valuable to the company. Harvey tells him
that his back is against the wall and Louis tells him that he can help. Later, Harvey arrives at
Mike’s place with the strategy he needs to use to defeat Scottie. It is confidential information
from the merger and he wants to use it for reprieve.
Mike looks at it and tells him that this is inadmissible stuff. Harvey is not too sure about
this but then this is the only thing they could do to get a breather. The next day, Harvey finds
Scottie waiting in his office and Jessica waits for Mike. Mike shows her the file. Jessica arrives in
Harvey’s office and asks Scottie to leave. Jessica then tells Harvey that she is upset because he
cheated. Harvey tells her that it is not a big deal. He tells Jessica that he will leave if he has to.
Jessica tells him that even if he leaves and joins somewhere else, he will be a winner; but not a
leader. Jessica says that she wants to prove the fact that she can control Harvey. Scottie arrives
to meet Donna and asks her if she is in love with Harvey.
Donna is sick and tired of people asking her this; but she tells Scottie that she is not in love
with Harvey. She also says that she used to like Scottie too; until she walked back in with the
stupid merger. Scottie tells her that the only way she could get Harvey’s attention is by suing
him. Donna realizes that Scottie is in love with Harvey. She then tells Scottie that if she wants
Harvey’s attention, then she should make a sacrifice; she should walk away from the merger.
Next, Scottie meets Mike and hands a file to him. She tells him that she is giving it to him
because she knows that Harvey wouldn’t use it if he knows that the file came from her. Mike sees
that they could win the case with the information in the file. Mike goes to Harvey with the file.
Harvey likes what is there in the file; but when he learns that Scottie gave it, he says that
he will not use it. He tells Mike that Scottie cannot be trusted. Nigel and Louis meet at the bar.
They strike up a friendship and they decide to leave each other’s names out of the list to save
their positions in the firm. Donna waits for Harvey in his office. She tells Harvey that Scottie is
in love with him; but she couldn’t tell it to him because she knew that it would drive him away.
Donna tells him that if he wants to stop this merger, then he needs to trust the file that Scottie
gave Mike. Harvey tells her to give Mike the file. But she already did, four hours ago.
Next, we see the opening scene where Jessica tells Mike that he should not file the motion
against her. And if he does then she would file a motion against him for practicing law without a
license. Mike has nothing to say. The next day, Harvey yells at Mike for not listening to him. He
is about to fire him and Jessica says no. She and Harvey ’have it out’ and it ends with Jessica
finally telling Harvey that he will stay and will learn his place. Scottie tells Harvey that Edward
fired her because he found that she gave him the file. Harvey tells her that it wasn’t him.
Louis tells Donna that he broke his word and put Nigel’s name on the list. Donna tells him
that Nigel did not put his name on the list. Louis feels bad. He then decides to tell Rachael the
truth before it is too late and he loses her as a friend. Harvey welcomes Edward with open arms.
He defends Scottie and wants Edward to give her back her job. Edward agrees.
Next, Rachael confronts Mike about not having the courage to tell her the truth. She then
wonders why he went to Louis to have the letter signed. She feels that Mike is hiding something.
Mike tells her that he lost everything and now he did not want to lose her. He tells her that he
never went to Harvard; he is a fraud. She slaps him and tries to leave. He grabs her and they
start kissing and end up having sex in the records room.

company if Harvey can’t prove her innocence. Mike works to reconcile
with Harvey and to manage the fallout from his revelation to Rachel.

Open with Mike dreaming about Rachel

exposing him during a firm meeting
where the merger is finalized. He wakes
up in a cold sweat.
Harvey is looking at a contract offer for
a basketball player-client. Donna walks
in and tells him Darby needs an answer.
He says ”Send her to London.”
Harvey meets with the general man-
ager of the basketball team. He says asks
for significantly more money, threatening
to expose a past incident to another team
to drive up the price.
Jessica is waiting for Harvey at his
apartment. He tells her he asked for triple
the money, but that the leverage he had was a bluff. During the conversation Harvey gets word
that the team has caved to his demands.
Mike drops by Rachel’s house. It’s been several days and he wants to see her. She’s pissed
that she lied to him about everything. He tells Rachel about his nightmare and says what most
worried him was losing her, not being fired. She suggests he go into the office the next day and
quit.
Mike arrives at the office the following morning. He gets a cold stare from Harvey, then walks
into Jessica’s office. He says he has something to say, but she cuts him off. She tells him he’s
done plenty to help the firm and brings him to his brand new office. She wants him to view it as
a symbol of what he can accomplish.
Louis is furious that his favorite pens have been taken away by the new quarter-master,
someone named Barbara. The pens and his favorite Bran Bars are two things he expects from
the firm.
Darby tells Jessica the US Government is going after Eva Hessington, the head of one of their
biggest clients. He’s decided to let Harvey handle the case, primarily because it will require some

underhanded tactics. She doesn’t like the idea but Darby makes it clear he is in charge. This
case hold particular significance for Darby.
Jessica goes to Harvey’s office and tells him about the Hessington case, but misrepresents
the particulars. She says she fought Darby to get him on the case.
Rachel is upset when she finds out that not only has Mike not quit, but he has a brand new
office. She admits her biggest issue is that she’s trying so hard to achieve something he’s been
pretending to have accomplished.
The next morning we see Mike sign his letter of resignation. Harvey goes to Darby and tells
him he wants out. If he wins the Hessington case his non-compete will be torn up and he’ll be
dismissed. Darby agrees.
Louis accidentally gets a look at Mike’s letter of resignation and wants answers. Mike says
he’s had a falling out with Harvey and it can’t be repaired. Louis tells Mike he needs to remind
Harvey how much he needs him.
Mike tricks the firm’s top IT guy, Benjamin, into admitting he hacked into Mike’s personal
computer. He tapes the conversation and uses it as leverage to gain access to a hard drive.
Harvey is frustrated by the amount of work he has to do with regard to Eva Hessington. Donna
suggests Scotty. Harvey tracks Scotty down at the airport and asks her for help working the case.
She doesn’t seem interested because he’s the reason she’s on her way to London. He convinces
her that he has strong feelings for her by recalling the first few times they met.
Nigel reveals to Louis that he, in fact, is the quartermaster named Barbara. Nigel has changed
firm policy so that his pens and bars are not allowed.
Louis asks Donna for help with Nigel.
Harvey meets with Eva, telling her that Richard Jensen is the US Attorney going after her. It
is a bribery charge, and Harvey has discovered a cover-up, including bribing whistle blower, that
Richard will eventually find. Richard’s job shouldn’t be hard and Harvey makes it clear to her
that he’s willing to do what it takes to win.
Mike confronts Harvey, who is still fuming over his lack of loyalty. Mike’s looked into Eva, but
Harvey already has the info. Harvey claims an ”associate at random” found the information.
Mike shows up at Rachel’s door and demands they have it out. This results in them in bed
”all night.” The next morning things seem good between them.
Louis manages to get Darby to make him quarter-master
Richard Tells Harvey he needs jail time for Eva because he plans to run for office. Harvey tries
everything, but Richard isn’t budging.
Mike drops a folder on Harvey’s desk.
Nigel comes to Louis and makes a plea for him to allow him to remain quartermaster. Louis
says no, at which point Nigel drops a bomb: Because Luis is now quartermaster, it means he can
not longer be in charge of the associates. Nigel has tricked him. Louis is devastated.
Donna returns Mike’s folder to him. She says the only thing Harvey wanted from him was
loyalty. Mike says he knows Harvey got the information on Eva from Scotty.
Mike goes to Benjamin for help with Harvey.
Donna shows Harvey the folder, which contains some key information on Richard.
Armed with the information that Richard’s largest campaign contributor is Hessington’s top
competitor, Harvey pays Richard a visit. He’s willing to torpedo his political career if Richard
doesn’t help him out.
Jessica tells Darby she’s worried Harvey will use the case as leverage to leave. Darby says he
doesn’t think Harvey wants to leave.
A man named Cameron sees Harvey. He is going to be the new special prosecutor.
Mike brings Jessica to his office. He had Benjamin pull from her hard drive the letter she’d
written threatening to expose Mike. In exchange he wants to be sent back to his cubicle, a move
he hopes will win some favor with Harvey.
Harvey tells Darby he’s changed his mind. He no longer wants to leave the firm. Instead he
wants Darby to back him as managing partner if he wins the case. He’s planning to take Jessica
down.

Summary: Louis offers Mike a case that could change his future at the firm. Har-
vey and Jessica team up to bring down an old nemesis who compli-
cates their case to keep Ava Hessington out of jail.

Open with an emotional Louis telling the

associates he will no longer be in charge
of them.
Mike tells Rachel he’s made no
progress with Harvey, despite telling him
what happened with Jessica.
Jessica tells Louis he can have one as-
sociate to partner with and allows him
pick whomever he wishes. Louis then
goes to see Donna, asking if she will asks
Harvey if he can have Mike as his new as-
sociate. She won’t be his go-between and
Louis goes directly to Harvey who gives
his blessing.
Jessica goes to see Cameron, who is
serving as special prosecutor for the case against Eva. He tells her he has Eva dead to rights and
gives her a surveillance video as proof.
Louis takes Mike to a steak house for lunch, the two also feasting on wine and cheesecake.
Mike is greatly impressed by the food. Afterwards Louis introduces Mike to the ownership, telling
him the restaurant is about to become a shopping center because of eminent domain. Mike
basically says there’s nothing to be done because nobody wins those cases. Louis says his dream
is to re-write the law and wants Mike to help him.
Harvey isn’t happy Jessica went to see Cameron without consulting him. She says she wants
to help him, creating a ”dream team.”
Rachel tells Donna she doesn’t want Mike and Harvey’s relationship to impact theirs. Donna
agrees.
Louis is really working hard to help Mike with the background for the steakhouse case.
Harvey and Jessica show Eva the video, which shows her No. 2 Nick handing a case of money
to a man in exchange for greasing the wheels on a new pipeline. There is no audio and Eva
assures them she never uses the word ”bribe.” Harvey and Jessica realize Cameron must have
gotten Nick to roll over on her. Eva doesn’t buy it until Nick doesn’t answer her call.
Rachel tells Mike that Louis is trying to recruit him. He doesn’t seem sure. Louis walks in and
the two come up with a new strategy for the case.
Harvey drops by Cameron’s home. The two talk trash and Cameron admits that he has Nick
as a witness.

 Suits Episode Guide

In court Adrian and Mike argue that tearing down the restaurant isn’t a public benefit given
the quality of the business. Opposing counsel argues the key case history is that the measure is
quantitative not qualitative, to which Mike responds that in the case in question, nothing ended
up happening with the property. The judge ultimately rules against Louis and Mike, saying he
has no basis to create new law.
Eva tells Harvey she enjoyed working with Nick and is upset that he has shown such disloy-
alty. She thinks that bribing Nick is the way to handle the situation, to which Harvey responds
that putting her in a situation to offer yet another bribe must b Cameron’s plan.
While enjoying mud baths Mike tells Louis he knows what’s going on. Despite how nice he’s
being now, Mike remembers what kind of scumbag Louis has been in the past. Louis tells Mike
he ”makes him want to be a better man.” Mike has revelation that there is already a provision in
the law that could work for them.
Harvey pays Nick a visit at his hotel room. Instead of offering a bribe Harvey appeals to his
conscious, telling Nick that he’ll regret this for the rest of his life.
Louis and Mike go in front of the judge again, this time introducing a new, inflated evaluation
of the property.
Donna tells Rachel about Harvey giving his blessing to poach Mike. Rachel wants her to
convince Harvey to take Mike back, but Donna is still very upset about Mike’s disloyalty. Donna
leaves and Mike walks into the conference room, telling Rachel that he and Louis have a shot at
their case. Rachel mentions going to Donna, a move which Mike thinks was a mistake. Mike tells
her Harvey forbid him from telling her his secret.
Mike storms into Harvey’s office and tells him it’s time to get past this. Harvey responds that
he didn’t give Louis permission to go after him to punish Mike, he did it because the two of them
are done.
Harvey and Jessica talk on the roof. She admits to lying to him about Eva and they have it
out regarding the merger, Mike’s history, her blackmail, etc. He asks if she’d act the same way if
she had it to do over again.
We see some pre-deposition trash talking between Harvey and Cameron that involves the
revelation he’s leaked the tape and Eva is at the risk of losing her company.
Rachel and Donna lay everything on the line. Rachel is hurt that Harvey influenced her rela-
tionship with Mike. Donna ups the ante by admitting she recommended to Mike that he should
try and get past Rachel. Rachel is furious when Donna says this happened after she told him she
and Mike had kissed. Rachel thinks Donna chose work over their friendship.
During the deposition Harvey and Jessica rip Nick apart, implying that he could have been
acting on his own in order to take over the company. They are giving him a taste of what things
will be like in court.
Louis drops by Mike’s place to say they won the case. He tells Mike that Harvey doesn’t love
the law the way he does. Harvey cares more about winning than anything and thinks Mike should
spend some time working for lawyer who cares more about law than victory.
Cameron tracks Harvey down after the deposition. Harvey’s strategy worked and he’s ready
to deal. The deal he offers is a huge win for Eva, but requires her pleading guilty (instead of
no contest). This allows Cameron to feel as if he’s won a technical victory, something which
obviously bothers Harvey.
Jessica convinces Harvey that the deal is what they were offering in he beginning with only a
cosmetic change. He should take the deal because they’ve already won.
Mike and Rachel make up.
Harvey and Eva have a conversation about losing her No. 2 which sounds very much like
his situation with Mike. Donna comes in afterwards and says that perhaps he should consider
forgiving Mike given everything that happened is Jessica’s fault.
Mike goes to Louis’ office and the two basically agree to team up. Louis leaves to get him a gift
and Harvey pops in. Harvey tells him he should go back where he belongs. The two high-five and
we see a despondent Louis throw a celebratory cake in the trash.

Summary: Cameron Dennis strikes back at Harvey by arresting one of his clients
for murder. Katrina Bennett tries to win over Louis, who’s still smart-
ing from his rejection by Mike; and a British version of Harvey arrives
to stir things up at the firm.

Louis is still bitter over Mike leaving him

at the alter and returning to Harvey.
Harvey asks Louis to work the at-
tempted takeover of Eva’s company. He
also suggests Louis look at taking on a
”rebound associate.” At first he dismisses
the idea, but after further colloquy, con-
siders it.
Rachel apologizes to Donna for the
things she said and the two appear to
make up.
Eva asks Harvey to work for her. She
wants him to replace her No. 2. Dur-
ing the conversation Cameron arrives and
places Eva under arrest for conspiracy to
commit murder. Cameron tells Harvey that six people were killed by the colonel Eva paid off to
secure her pipeline. The charges are bogus and it appears Cameron simply wants to beat Harvey.
Katrina brings Louis research in order to convince him to put her on the case. When he
realizes she isn’t interested in being his personal associate he tells her to get lost.
Harvey brings Mike to see Eva in jail. He badgers her in order to help prepare her for what
will come from the other side. She knew very little about the deaths other than the fact they took
place. Eva wants to know whether Harvey thinks she did it and he convinces her not to ask the
question.
Katrina sneaks into Harvey’s office and attempts to place a file with a strategy for beating
Cameron. Mike stops her and makes it clear that he’s back and working all of Harvey’s cases
with him. Donna walks in and backs Mike up, making the situation very clear to Katrina.
Jessica and Harvey talk about being duped by Cameron. Harvey makes sure she’s okay with
Mike being back on his team and she lets Mike know everything is fine. Mike suggests using the
bail hearing to double cross Cameron.
During the bail hearing Harvey challenges Cameron with making the case personal. The con-
versation moves to judge’s chamber where Harvey tells her Cameron has no concrete evidence.
She won’t throw it out but sets bail at one dollar.

Stephen Huntley, a ”fixer” from the London office, shows up in New York to see Harvey. Harvey
thinks he’s there to hijack his case. Huntley says he’s there to help with ”cultural integration”
and wants Harvey’s help. Harvey has no interest.
Jessica tells Harvey she wants him to figure out what Huntley is up to. Donna appears to be
interested in Huntley.
Katrina makes an attempt to apologize to Mike. He’s not having it and she guesses it has to
do with her treatment of Rachel, which she finds interesting.
Harvey and Huntley have dinner. He demands the truth about why he’s in New York. Huntley
says he’s there on behalf of Darby to help him take over the firm from Jessica. Huntley says
he doesn’t have aspirations for taking over the firm himself. Cameron drops by with a list of
witnesses who saw the colonel present during the murders.
Mike tells Rachel about the interaction with Katrina. This leads to a somewhat awkward
discussion of whether the two of them are boyfriend and girlfriend. They make it official. Just
then a firm-wide E-mail is circulated that makes Mike look like an idiot, using audio Katrina
took during their conversation. It is a cartoon video where Mike is presented as Harvey’s baby.
Katrina is in Louis’ office, saying that she’s helped make Mike Ross the bigger fool. She now
needs him to take her on or she’ll be ”done.”
Mike tells Rachel ”this means war.”
Harvey and Mike meet with Eva. They present a legal strategy that involves attacking the
credibility of the witnesses. But Eva wants to pay them off and avoid a trial. When Harvey says
he won’t do it, she fires him and says she’ll find someone who will.
Rachel has gained access to Katrina’s Facebook account to acquire pictures.
Harvey tells Mike they should still be working on Eva’s defense, since Cameron will be expect-
ing this and they’re going to have to bail her out at some point. He also tells Mike not to respond
to Katrina.
Harvey tells Katrina she’ll never climb any further in the firm and if she ever goes after Mike
again he’ll find a way to fire her.
Rachel tells Mike what happened between Harvey and Katrina. This conversation gives Mike
an idea.
Mike thinks the plan should be to get the witnesses to sue them in civil court. They can then
settle out of court with non-disclosure agreements – a type of legal bribe. The plan is to get them
to use PTSD.
Harvey sees Huntley and Eva taking the elevator together and is immediately furious. He
confronts Huntley, who tells him that he advises Eva not to bribe the witnesses and to stick with
her Harvey.
Harvey tells Jessica about Huntley getting Eva back.
Mike brings his plan to Eva. She wants to know whether Mike has a sense of what Harvey
thinks about her guilt or innocence. He doesn’t betray Harvey and Eva is impressed.
Huntley is starting to win Donna over.
Louis asks Katrina to help him on the case. She thanks him.
Harvey and Mike share a drink for the first time ever. Mike says he knows both he and Harvey
believe Eva is guilty of the murders. Harvey tells Mike about his deal with Darby to take over the

Summary: Harvey’s defense of Ava hits a roadblock when the interests of her
murder trial are at odds with Louis’ work to thwart a hostile takeover
of Hessington Oil by a rival businessman.

Open with Harvey and Louis arriving at

the office having just learned they are 48
hours away from a vote on Eva’s com-
pany. The two of them and their respec-
tive associates discuss how to handle the
situation. Harvey doesn’t want her speak-
ing to the press but Louis has already ar-
ranged an interview with the Wall Street
Journal.
Mike pretends to be Eva’s assistant
and gets the reporter into his car. Har-
vey tells Eva the interview is off and she
says she doesn’t like being muzzled. She
hates that she hasn’t made a statement
defending herself but eventually agrees to
let Harvey make the call.
Rachel and Donna argue over which
one of them they think Huntley has a thing for. Donna tells her he asked her out and she turned
him down.
Louis yells at Harvey for shutting down the interview and Harvey reminds him that this is
still his case. Louis points out that his client is Hessington Oil. Jessica thinks the better move is
for Eva to step down and tells both men it is her decision. Harvey says it actually isn’t her call
because it’s really Darby’s case.
Harvey assigns Mike to ”Katrina duty” to make sure she and Louis don’t screw them over
somehow.
Louis goes to Jessica in private and asks her to let him be her ”black swam,” to do the things
she can’t do. She turns him down.
In an incredibly flirty manner Huntley asks Donna to help him with his work load while he’s
in town. She agrees, in an equally flirty manner.
Louis asks Katrina to work closely with Mike to keep tabs on what he and Harvey are up to.
Katrina suggests Louis go over Harvey head and speak with Jessica. He lies and says he doesn’t
work that way.

Mike tells Katrina he’s working on finding dirt on Tony. She thinks he’s going about it the
wrong way and accidentally gives Mike an idea. They see eye-to-eye on a strategy.
Jessica goes to see Darby in Montreal. She wants him to make it clear to Harvey that she is
in charge. Darby doesn’t agree and thinks Jessica is overstepping. He’s not budging on Eva.
Louis loves Katrina and Mike’s strategy. She has to admit it was Mike’s idea and thinks he
should bring Mike with him to his Tony meeting. The idea being that Mike will see him beat
up Tony and the story will make its way back to Jessica. Harvey then walks in and tells Louis
that Mike is coming with him when he goes to see Tony. Harvey tries to throw Louis off the case
but Louis responds forcefully that Eva would never support diverting resources from her murder
trial.
Eva tells Harvey and Mike she wants to speak at her own trial. Harvey thinks she’ll be ripped
to shreds by Cameron if she takes the stand and promises to show her.
Louis seems to get shot down by one of Tony’s underlings when he arrives for a meeting. Louis
thinks Tony’s company will be in trouble with the FTC over some of their holdings, but he’s told
that Tony is buddies with the FTC commissioner. It sounds as if Tony is one step ahead.
Mike and Katrina appear to be getting along better on a personal level. Mike offers a hand-
shake and a truce, which she accepts.
Donna tells Rachel she’s got a date of some kind with Huntley.
Louis tells Jessica that he wants off the case because Louis has handcuffed him with regard
to the correct play of Eva stepping down. She responds by giving her blessing for him to go to the
board and get to them to remove Eva.
Huntley tells Donna that after the play they’ll be having dinner with Daniel Day-Lewis. She
responds by saying they aren’t going to the theater and the couple grabs a cab.
Harvey and Mike conduct a practice cross examination of Eva. She emotionally tells them her
company made paid extra money for the pipeline so that any family hurt by the project would be
made whole. She’s also planning to shutdown the entire project, including the pipeline, after the
trial is over. After Eva leaves the two men realize that Eva didn’t have anything to do with the
murders.
Louis meets with a board member about removing Eva and says it’s the only way to beat Tony.
They strike up a deal and he agrees to retain Louis’ firm afterwards.
Mike tells Katrina what happened with Eva and the fact she didn’t actually do it. Mike is
certain Eva is telling the truth and shows her tape of their questioning.
Katrina finds Louis, who tells him that Eva will be removed the next day. She shows him Eva’s
interview.
Harvey tells Mike they need to get Eva to speak to the board the following day before the
scheduled meeting.
Louis tells Jessica Eva had nothing to do with the murders. Louis doesn’t want to be respon-
sible for helping an innocent woman lose her company, but Jessica doesn’t care. All that matters
to her is the takeover vote and the market.
Clearly Donna and Huntley had an enjoyable evening and make plans to do it again. Donna
tells Rachel she hadn’t considered what Harvey will think.
The next day Eva surprises Harvey with word that she’s been voted out. She’s also furious that
Hessington Oil retained his firm. Eva therefore thinks Harvey was the only person who benefited.
Harvey is mad at Jessica for going behind him and tells her she made a mistake giving Darby
51 percent in the first place. He thinks it’s personal with her because she can’t be No. 2.
Harvey isn’t happy to learn Donna was doing work for Huntley. She chokes on telling him
what’s going on between them.
Katrina makes it clear to Mike that she’s committed to Louis. He seems to respect that. Rachel
walks by after she leaves and asks about their apparent bonding. Mike tells Rachel he loves her
and she says the same.
A furious Darby comes to New York to tell him he doesn’t like that she went behind his back.
She thinks he holds the 51/49 thing over her too much and reminds him she just won the firm
$14 million.

Summary: Lines between the personal and the professional get blurred when Har-
vey and Stephen work together on Ava’s case, and Mike invites Rachel
to join him on a case that gets complicated when his secret falls in the
line of fire – with Rachel’s parents.

Open with Harvey upset that Donna’s not

in the office to give up some paperwork.
We see that she’s in bed with Huntley and
the new couple’s fling seems to be going
quite well.
Harvey and Mike go before a judge
with Cameron. Cameron has done enough
to convince the judge there is some evi-
dence Eva was connected to the murders
and the trial is set for two weeks.
Donna tells Rachel she’s still wor-
ried about telling Harvey about Hunt-
ley. Rachel thinks it’ll be fine, so long as
the relationship doesn’t compromise her
work.
Mike and Harvey decide they need to get Cameron off the case. A prosecutor without an axe
to grind with Harvey would certainly drop the case. The goal is to prove Cameron colluded with
Gianopoulos to take over Eva’s company.
Louis is upset when he learns Nigel has been communicating with the associates via memo.
He orders an associate re-do some work, which contradicts Nigel’s orders.
Huntley tells Harvey his deal with Darby is still in place so long as he wins the murder trial.
Huntley takes a look at the guys’ plan to sue Gianopoulos and bets Harvey ten grand he can do
better. Harvey promptly kicks Mike off the case and brings on Huntley.
Rachel tells Mike about Donna and Huntley. Mike asks Rachel to help him with a new case,
going after Graeme Stinton, an accountant who embezzled $30 million from the firm’s clients.
Nigel shows up at Louis’ club and confronts him about meddling with his associates. They
argue over the best way to mold young lawyers.
Harvey and Huntley meet with Gianopoulos. Their plan is for Huntley to sue him in London
and keep him tied up in the legal system. They will basically be an annoyance unless he comes
clean about Cameron leaking him the videotape.

Prior to an interview with Stinton’s associate Rachel seems to hint that she doesn’t want Mike
to meet her parents. She’s worried they’ll find out his secret.
Donna tells Harvey about Huntley. He’s fine with it so long as she doesn’t work for him.
Stinton’s associate, Clark, says she doesn’t believe he manipulated the numbers. When she
refers to Stinton by his first name Rachel realizes she’s been sleeping with him. They say they’ll
put her on the stand if she doesn’t get Stinton to give the money back.
Nigel makes paperweights for all the associates that make fun of something Louis said to him.
Louis confronts Nigel about crossing the line but the conversation is interrupted when Nigel’s cat
jumps on the desk. Louis loves cats and gets along with the animal immediately.
Jessica tells Harvey that several important clients have just fired the firm. Gianopoulos pur-
chased the companies for the express purpose of firing Harvey’s firm. Harvey’s lost the firm more
money in a day than he ever won for it in a month.
Rachel invites Mike to dinner with her parents.
Harvey meets with Eva. Gianopoulos has been dumping stock, losing tens of millions of dol-
lars. She furious when she learns he picked a fight with Gianopoulos. Eva says she’d rather do
prison time than have Gianopoulos take over her company.
Dinner with Rachel’s parents seems to go well. Both of them like Mike and Rachel’s mother
tells her husband not to grill Mike.
Huntley tells Harvey the reason Gianopoulos is acting this way is because he subpoenaed the
man’s daughter. Harvey thinks Huntley went way too far and the two argue. Huntley brings up
Donna and the discussion gets more heated. Harvey kicks Huntley off the case.
Donna’s father and Mike share a scotch. Inside Rachel’s mother tells her daughter everything
will be okay if she loves him.
Harvey tells Jessica about Huntley’s screw-up and says he needs help. She suggests they
have Eva sell Gianopoulos her shares in exchange for voting rights. In exchange Gianopoulos
gives up Cameron.
During the conversation Rachel’s dad asks Mike what he thinks about Rachel applying to
Stanford. Mike had no idea she was looking at a West coast school.
Stinton approaches Mike and Rachel. He’s just married Clark, which legally means she
wouldn’t have to testify against him. They plan to challenge the validity of the marriage.
Donna is upset with Huntley for throwing their relationship in Harvey’s face. He apologizes
and says he wants to continue seeing her. She’s going to think about it.
Eva is reluctant to sell shares to Gianopoulos. She relays her experience merging with Darby
and thinks Eva should do what she needs to in order to keep her company. Jessica also suggests
she could get out of the deal down the road.
An angry Mike confronts Rachel about Stanford. She’s got an interview at the end of the week
which only makes Mike angrier. He thinks she was afraid to tell him she might want to go to
school across the country.
Nigel asks Louis to cat-sit for a few weeks. Louis agrees.
Harvey has good news for Jessica. In an effort to protect himself, Cameron never actually
showed Gianopoulos the tape. But he left him along in a room with the tape.
Louis tells Donna he was up all night with Nigel’s high-maintenance cat. And he loved it.
Harvey confronts Cameron about his goof with regarding to chain of custody with the tape.
But despite this making his case almost impossible to win, Cameron still isn’t going to drop the
charges.
Mike tells Rachel he wants them to do bad cop-bad cop. They tell Clark they are charging
Stinton with stealing, a 15-year sentence and her with accessory after the fact, a 5-year sentence.
The charges will be files in Connecticut, a state which doesn’t stop married couples from testifying
against one another. If she trusts him, Mike says, she should go to jail and hope he’s waiting for
her when he gets out. Rachel adds that there is nothing worse than having a deception hanging
over a relationship. Clark tells her she’ll get them the money back.
Huntley congratulates Harvey on getting the tape thrown out and getting Eva her job back.
He’s thinks its funny Harvey got Jessica to help dig her own grave.
Mike drops by Rachel’s place. He thinks her advice to Clark was related to their situation.
She says it has occurred to her that Stanford might be the fresh start she needs. She wants the
freedom to make the decision on her own.

to take apart Moriga. Jessica walks in, fu-
rious that Cameron now has Moriga. She
blames Harvey for letting Huntley screw
up the case. She’s on the case now and
says they are no longer keeping Darby
and Huntley in the loop.
Mike finds that Moriga has a history of
lying and has prepared questions for him.
He asks Harvey about telling Jessica he had a deal with Darby. Harvey says he needed to trust
her.

provides a better home. They agree to a mock trial in front of the associates.

 Suits Episode Guide

Jessica tells the guys she wants to go after Nick. Harvey doesn’t like the idea, because it
will be impossible to convince anybody the No. 1 wouldn’t know what the No. 2 was doing. The
parallels to Jessica and Harvey’s relationship are obvious.
Louis asks Rachel to be his representative in the mock trial. She agrees after he tells her the
cat was the best thing to happen to him during a tough year.
Outside Mike confronts Jessica. He wonders if they’re putting an innocent person in the
crosshairs because she’s pissed at Harvey. She tells him he should find out what Cameron has
on Nick that made him turn on Eva.
Mike visits Cameron. He yells at Cameron and knocks a folder out of his hand. Mike is
immediately apologetic and begins picking up the papers while Cameron yells at him. As he
picks up each paper he appears to be committing them to memory.
The mock trial begins with Louis on the stand. He talks about receiving the cat in poor
emotional condition.
Jessica calls Darby. She wants him to call Huntley back to London. He responds that Hartley
is his version of Harvey and he’ll be there until the case is won. Darby thinks Harvey’s plan all
along was to turn her against him and therefore against the merger.
Nigel cross-examines Louis. He starts to challenge Louis characterizing himself as a kind-
hearted parent-type. The two argue about their philosophical differences regarding the asso-
ciates. He then announces a surprise witness: Harold. Rachel immediately asks for a recess.
Rachel tells Mike what’s happening with Harold. He has no help for her since Harold never
said a good thing about Louis.
Mike shows Harvey what he got from Cameron’s files. There is enough there to convince
anybody Nick is actually guilty.
Niles questions Harold. He speaks at length to Louis’ cruelty and the fact he occasionally left
his own cat in the care of Harold, who is allergic and doesn’t care for the animals.
Nick is questioned by Eva’s attorney with her present. They challenge him with their new
evidence, which is a bank account he opened just before the murders. Nick tells them money did
not come from Moriga, but rather was bonuses from Eva. He says Eva knew everything he did
and threatens that no jury will ever believe he acted alone.
Rachel questions Harold on cross. She points out that Louis covered for his many mistakes
and that Harold ultimately landed with a good firm because of Louis’ mentorship. She also asks
him whether he thinks Louis loved his cat. Harold says that he did.
Donna confronts Huntley with information she’s discovered in the copy room. It is a copy of
Moriga’s deposition. She furious that he lied to her and tells him their relationship is over.
Donna tells Mike that Huntley got Moriga’s deposition.
Realizing the case is lost, Nigel comes to Louis with a deal. In exchange for keeping his cat
he will give Louis control of the associates. Louis initially says no, but Rachel asks for a minute
with her ”client.” She reminds him that the cat belongs to Nigel.
Jessica admits Harvey was right that nobody will believe Eva didn’t know what Nick was doing.
They talk about their own situation and she asks why he told her about his deal with Darby. He
admits that her being opposed to the merger crossed his mind, but he’s mostly concerned with
not keeping secrets from her.
Louis agrees with Rachel’s assessment of his situation. Before she can bring the cat back
to Nigel he shows her a acceptance to Columbia law school he spotted on the mail cart. She
tearfully hugs him.
Mike tells Donna that Huntley was the one who ordered the murders. He then shows her,
Harvey and Jessica that Huntley and Moriga are old rugby pals. Darby sent Huntley in to fix
Eva’s problem. Huntley made the call from his London office and neither Eva nor Nick were
aware. Darby then sent Huntley to make sure nobody figured out his role.
Harvey walks to the bathroom and finds Huntley. He punches him the face and the two fight.
Harvey gets the better of things and walks out.

 Suits Episode Guide

Harvey is getting nervous that the jury is buying what Moriga is selling on the stand. He wants
to go after Huntley and tells Jessica about approaching Cameron. Huntley walks in and says if
he’s put on the stand he’ll go after Eva.
Harvey calls Huntley to the stand, telling Cameron he’s giving him the bad guy. Huntley
basically takes the fifth on just about everything but upon cross talks about Eva trying to bribe
witnesses. Afterwards Eva makes it clear to Mike isn’t happy to learn Harvey took a calculated
risk with her life without telling her.
Harvey finds Cameron on the street and yells at him for screwing him. Cameron isn’t con-
vinced Huntley is the guy.
Harold finds Louis waiting for him in his office. Louis basically runs him over, allowing just
one of provisions Harold had requested in his suit.
Eva confronts Darby about keeping Huntley from her. She slaps him when he confirms it.
After Eva leaves Darby asks Jessica to find a way to help him help Eva. Cut to Jessica dropping
by Harvey’s place and saying she wants to forgive him for everything. They begin to work on a
plan.
Harvey goes to Mike’s place and tells him the new strategy is for him to go to Cameron and
remind him of the time he convicted the wrong guy.
Mike asks Clifford to speak with Cameron. He wants him to tell Cameron that what he did to
him has virtually ruined his life. Mike reminds Clifford he broke the law to get him out.
Rachel tells Louis that Harold basically pulled one over him, since the clause he agreed to
opens up a window to liability. Louis is furious.
Mike brings Clifford to see Cameron.
A confident Harold is waiting for Louis in his office. Louis’s tactic is to bog Harold down with
numerous legal tricks designed to show his new firm his professional weaknesses. It won’t win
Louis’ case but it will probably get Harold fired.
Cameron offers Eva eight years. After he leaves the room Jessica says she thinks Cameron
has the upper hand and they should take the deal. Darby disagrees and then offers to perjure
himself. Harvey doesn’t think it will work, but Jessica thinks they can try to convince Cameron.
Harvey and Darby meet with Cameron in a bathroom. They offer Darby accepting an obstruc-
tion of justice charge if the charge against Eva is dropped. He accepts because it seems to be a
guaranteed win.
Donna goes to see Huntley at a bar with the FBI. He’s placed in custody.
Jessica and Harvey turn the tables on Darby, adding a clause to his deal that he can no longer
practice law in the United States. Harvey reminds Cameron that ultimately he’s most concerned
with putting the bad guy away.
Rachel shows Louis that Harold has dropped his suit. She asks why he hates Harold so much.
Louis tells her it goes back to the fact Harold is his one great failure at training associates. He
ultimately agrees with her and rips up the notice that Harold dropped the suit. He’s going to give
Harold the win.

sica to let him handle the dissolution talks, and Mike asks Rachel to
take a big step forward in their relationship.

Open with Rachel and Mike’s relationship

seeming to be going as strong as ever.
Harvey picks Donna up in his car and
takes her out for breakfast and a shop-
ping trip. He says they deserve a celebra-
tion.
Louis tells Jessica he wants to han-
dle the dissolution of the merger. He
promises he’ll get her everything she has
coming, and more. Harvey walks in with
Darby’s terms, furious that Darby thinks
he can dictate to them. When Harvey
learns Louis wants to run the dissolu-
tion he is dismissive. Jessica asks Louis
to leave the room and tells him he needs
to act differently as a name partner. She
says she’s going to put Louis ”in at quar-
terback, then snap the ball to you.”
Harvey tells Mike whichever side has more revenue at the time of dissolution will be able to
dictate terms. The plan then is for them to get as much from Darby’s side as possible. Harvey
suggests they need a client that wants to keep their crown and suggests Samsung.
Jessica tells Louis she’s going to let him handle the dissolution. She tells him that they’re
going after Darby’s clients and wants him to play fair during negotiations. She authorizes him to
sign on her behalf but her one request is that he does not lock in the current client allocations.
Mike and Rachel get into an argument about things that irritate her when he spends time at
her place. It gets tense and Mike ends up blowing her off.
Louis tells Katrina about the strategy for the negotiations. Her job is to make sure he doesn’t
get out of control while negotiating with Nigel. The two enter an office and begin speaking with
him. Nigel tells Louis he never read his cat the letters Louis sent. When he then rips up a picture
Louis sent to the cat Louis loses his cool and sends Katrina out of the room. He tells Nigel
everything is on the table, including current client allocations.

 Suits Episode Guide

Harvey speaks with Scottie outside Samsung. Darby told her that if she beats Harvey she’ll
become a name partner. During the conversation she gets a text that the client list has just been
locked.
Mike apologizes to Rachel. He says he thinks the reason he was so upset is that he wishes
they weren’t always at her place. She doesn’t like his place because it reminds her of him sleeping
with Tess. He has a solution.
Harvey storms into Louis’ office and rips him a new one. Louis has no real answer, admitting
he dropped the ball. Harvey tells Louis he was finally given a chance and totally blew it.
Mike brings Rachel into his grandmother’s apartment, which he’s kept. He says some incred-
ibly romantic things and says he wants them to move in together.
Harvey, Mike and Jessica decide their is only option now is to get a previously case to pay
sooner and add it to their numbers. The best option is Fulsome Foods, which is represented by
Robert Zane, Rachel’s father.
Mike visits Zane on the golf course. He offers his client a 20 percent discount on the settlement
if they pay one quarter earlier. Robert doesn’t have any interest, primarily because he doesn’t
want to help Harvey and Jessica. Mike wonders how Rachel will feel that her father is being a
jerk to the man she loves.
Katrina has figured out a similar strategy to the one pursued by Harvey and Mike, getting new
revenue from an existing client.
Louis pays a visit to Tony Giannopoulos’ right-hand man. He’s fiddled with the man’s personal
finances in a way that will mean he’ll never have to pay taxes again. The idea is to prove what
a wizard he is with numbers. The guy is impressed, but says Giannopoulos will never agree to a
larger relationship because Louis is a nobody. Louis is devastated.
Harvey tells Mike this his tactic with Zane worked, they’ve gotten a check from Fulsome from
the rest of what they owed them.
Harvey returns home to find Scottie waiting for him. In order to save her career she asks him
to exclude Fulsome from the settlement numbers. She gives him her word that she won’t screw
him.
Rachel learns from her father than Mike used her to help get one over on him. Zane seems
very impressed with Mike, but Rachel isn’t happy.
A very upset Rachel goes to see Mike. She tells him her father loved what he did, but she
doesn’t feel the same way. She’d been thinking of moving in with him but now wants to take
more time.
Jessica asks Harvey about excluding the payment from the settlement. He admits his personal
relationship with Scottie is part of it, but says completely severing ties with Darby could pay
dividends if he means he’ll have no need to come after them. Jessica gives her approval.
Katrina thinks Louis should take his strategy to Giannopoulos and have him use his high-
profile name to finish the job. Louis doesn’t think Harvey needs the help anymore. But Katrina
knows something he doesn’t.
Donna tells Harvey they’ve been fired by Hessington Oil. Harvey is sure that Scottie has
screwed him. Donna wants him to pick up the phone and ask Scottie, but Harvey won’t do it. He
says he’s going to find a way to get back at Scottie.
Louis brings Harvey his Giannopoulos gameplan. Harvey is impressed and tells Louis that he
respects him as an attorney. Louis is emotional. Harvey tells Louis to join him when the meet
with Giannopoulos.
Mike and Donna talk about Rachel. Donna thinks Mike should give her some time.
Harvey and Louis meet with Giannopoulos. He agrees to a large partnership with their firm,
very much aware that it is part of the firm’s dissolution.
Mike goes to see Rachel and tells her to take as much time as she needs. She tells him she
got into Stanford.
Scottie goes to see Harvey and says she had nothing to do with Hessington firing them. He
doesn’t believe her and refuses to take back what he’s done. She then says she’ll do whatever she
can to stop the merger, which would cripple the firm. Jessica walks in and validates that Scottie
was telling the truth. Hessington Oil fired them because Eva is suing the firm for malpractice.

and put Harvey and Scottie on opposite sides once again. Meanwhile,
recruiting a new hire puts Louis in Sheila’s crosshairs, and Mike and
Rachel find themselves in Jessica’s crosshairs.

Open with Harvey apologizing to Scot-

tie. He tells her to honor the dissolu-
tion agreement and put all the liability on
Darby. He thinks Darby International is
done if they go to a jury and she needs
to get out now. She instead asks him to
help her figure out how to fight the suit
together.
Things have gotten awkward between
Mike and Rachel, who wants to figure out
which law school is best for her before
even considering her relationship with
him. He’s upset that she wants to de-
cide between Stanford and Columbia ”in
a vacuum.”
Jessica tells Harvey they don’t stand
a chance arguing the case on its merits.
She wants them to offer their testimony to Eva in exchange for taking their names off the lawsuit.
Harvey knows this will piss off Scottie.
Harvey shows up for his meeting with Eva and finds Tanner there instead. He is Eva’s counsel.

Darby. The two engage in some trash-talking during which Harvey reminds Tanner he’s 0-2
against him.
Mike asks Harvey for an assignment and Harvey figures out he’s got girlfriend issues.
Louis and Sheila are ”hanging out” again, so to speak.
Scottie tells Jessica she wants to be part of Harvey’s deposition. Jessica doesn’t think it’s a

Stanford it essentially means their relationship is over.
Post-coitus Sheila tells Louis there is a Harvard graduate named Brian she’s been saving for
him. He’s perfect for the firm. She wants them to spend the day together. He declines, saying he
can’t be unfaithful to his firm. She looks hurt.

 Suits Episode Guide

Jessica asks Donna about Mike and Rachel. She’s worried that Mike told Rachel’s father his
secret.
Mike goes to Harvey and asks him for advice how to not let women get to him. Harvey says
he’s not the best person to ask about love and gives Mike the morning off.
Louis finds out the Brian candidate is fielding offers from eight different firms and is upset.
Sheila says she needs a commitment from him and says if she wants to take Brian away from
Louis’ firm she will.
Harvey speaks with Eva before the deposition. She admits that she was the one who ap-
proached Tanner, picking somebody who he can’t intimidate. She is upset that Harvey doesn’t
seem sorry about the way he handled her case.
During the deposition Tanner tells Harvey he has evidence he knew Huntley had the murders
committed. Tanner tells Scottie about Harvey trying to cut a deal behind her back. Tanner goes
after Harvey and Scottie’s relationship, making sure to drop the information that Scottie was
engaged when they got together the last time.
Mike tells Rachel he’s going to give her space to make the law school decision. Talking to
Harvey let him know he’d lose her if he made an ultimatum. He says he thinks they’ll make it
work
Scottie yells at Harvey for trying to cut a deal. She wants to know whose idea it was and
Harvey says it was Jessica’s. He never wanted to go behind her back but didn’t feel he had a
choice. He tells her she doesn’t have a choice either.
Louis talks to Mike about Sheila. After telling Mike what happened he realizes Sheila was
telling him she wanted to be exclusive and he missed the signal.
Tanner comes to Scottie with an offer. She says she won’t betray him and he responds by
saying he’s going to depose her.
During Tanner’s deposition of Scottie he asks for more particulars of Scottie and Harvey’s
romantic past. He pulls out an affidavit from Huntley saying Scottie knew about everything from
the beginning. Huntley has turned on her.
Donna asks Mike to go with her to see Huntley. Huntley says he wasn’t offered anything from
Darby to provide his misleading statement about Scottie. Donna asks for a minute alone and
during that time Huntley admits he’s lying about Scottie. She asks him not to do what he’s doing
but he says he has no choice. She and Mike get up and reveal to Huntley that everything said in
that room is recorded.
Donna leaves a file on Harvey’s desk with the statement Huntley made abut lying.
Jessica stops unexpectedly at Mike’s apartment. She asks about Robert Zane and wants him
to get Rachel to sign a affidavit that puts her in jeopardy along with him. If she doesn’t sign it
he’s fired.
Louis sends Sheila an exclusivity proposal. She’s pissed at the impersonal nature of the move
and rips it up. She wants him to figure out where she’ll be the following night.
Tanner tells Harvey he doesn’t care about Huntley. His plan is to drag Scottie through the
mud to the point her career will be over. The only way Harvey can stop it is to settle.
Harvey shows Scottie the settlement he got from Tanner. She doesn’t want to sign it, but he
thinks she should. He says Tanner can only come after her because Eva is letting him as a way
to get to him. If she ”takes the shackles” off he’ll be able to convince her that her fight is really
with Darby. Scottie agrees.
Mike tells Rachel about the affidavit. He thinks the only way out of the problem is for her to
go to Stanford.
During a deposition of Eva, Harvey and Jessica reveal to Tanner that they’ve split with Darby.
Jessica reminds Eva that they have witnesses that she asked Harvey to bribe witnesses on
her behalf. Harvey turns off the camera and apologizes to Eva for not listening to her. But he

Summary: Things get complicated when Harvey mixes business with pleasure
and gets caught between Jessica and Scottie. Painful memories plague
Mike as he uses a case to exorcise demons against an old foe, while
Louis’ suspicions threaten to expose Mike.

Open with Mike and Rachel in his apart-

ment. They start talking about his furni-
ture and she tells him she wants them to
move in together.
We then see Harvey and Scotty wake
up together. They talk about trying to fig-
ure out her future. He’s offered a job at
the firm.
Harvey and Jessica talks about Scotty.
She’s worried about the fact they are in a
relationship.
Mike tells Harvey he wants to handle
the Foreman case. Their client is being
advised to settle only because it can af-
ford it. He wants to try and get the case
dismissed because the opposing counsel
is Rinaldi, the man who got his grand-
mother to settle after his parents were killed. Harvey approves his request.
Louis continues to try and figure out why Mike’s file wasn’t in Sheila’s file room. He considers
the possibility Mike never went to Harvard in the first place.
Jessica tells Scotty the name of the firm could possibly change down the road. She also wants
her to put up her half million buy-in before the standard six months.
Scotty tells Harvey she doesn’t like having to pay a ”Harvey girlfriend tax.” She doesn’t know
what their future will be and has other offers.
Mike meets with Rinaldi. He tells him they won’t be settling, and gives him a motion to dismiss.
Louis shows Donna he’s found the interview list from the day Mike was hired. Mike’s name
isn’t there. She explains that Mike took initiative and pretended to be another associate. This
impressed Harvey. Louis tells her his theory about Sheila’s file room and Donna has to cover.
She tells him to call Harvard and ask for a transcript.

 Suits Episode Guide

Harvey sits on Mike’s deposition with Rinaldi. It goes well until Mike starts flashing back to
his grandmother settling. Harvey has to bail him out and it puts their client in a slightly worse
position. Harvey gives him one more day before pulling the plug and settling.
Donna tell Harvey about Louis. He’s not worried.
Rachel finds Mike hard at work trying to find something. He tells her about his parents and
how much it bothers him that Rinaldi put a price tag on their life. She helps him.
To change Jessica’s mind Scotty’s plan is to land a huge client, someone he couldn’t get. She
meets with Michael Phelps and convinces him she can make him a ton of money. It seems to
work.
In court Mike does an effective job of casting doubt on Rinaldi’s expert witness. After wards he
tells Mike it’s not enough to force him to drop the case. Mike then pulls out a picture that shows
the man in question drinking a toast at his daughter’s wedding after the surgery in question. It
doesn’t really prove anything, but alcohol is strictly forbidden after that procedure and might be
enough to get what Mike wants.
Louis shows Donna he’s received Mike’s transcript from Harvard. He’s now thinking about
whether he should tell Sheila what he found in the filing room. Donna does a good job convincing
him that she would never forgive his breach of her trust when he went through her files.
Sheila drops by his office and invites him to a hotel rendezvous. He’s nervous, still conflicted
about whether to tell her.
Rinaldi tells Mike he’s doing the wrong thing. He then shows Mike a file that proves his
father had two drinks the night he died. Rinaldi tells him it the reason he was able to get his
grandmother to settle.
Harvey tells Jessica landing Phelps and Gillette got the firm more money than Scotty’s buy-in.
But she’s still worried about turnover and wants the commitment. Harvey has an idea.
Harvey initially has ”issues” in bed and considers telling her about Mike’s file. She thinks it’s
a different reason and everything works out without him spilling the beans.
Harvey tells Scotty she no longer has to pay the buy-in, all she has to do is sign an iron-clad
non-compete clause. She seems happy.
Mike tells Rachel about the revelation with her father. He says this has tainted his view that
his father was sober when he was killed. She convinces him he’s not like Rinaldi.
Louis apologizes to Donna and says he’ll never tell Sheila.
Mike meets with Rinaldi. He offers a compromise: He gives him the name of the company that
makes the medicine that coated the stint. He also tells Rinaldi where to find the picture of his
client drinking the champagne so he can remove it before that suit.
Scotty has figured out that the non-compete is standard part of their contracts. He has to
admit that he paid the buy-in for her. She is furious and an argument ensues. They talk about
the need for honesty and lay all their cards on the table. It seems to work out.
Rachel is waiting at home for Mike with candles. She wants them to celebrate the little things,
just like his father did.
Louis looks through Mike’s transcript. He sees that Mike received an A+ plus a professor who
did not believing in giving out such a high grade.

Summary: Jessica finds an unlikely friend in Harvey as her concerns continue to
mount.

Harvey leaves a bottle of expensive scotch

on Stevie’s desk. Donna tells him it’s a
terrible present; she’s trying to help him
keep the relationship as long as possible.
Louis approaches Mike in the bath-
room and tells him he’s invited the Har-
vard professor (Henry Gerrard) that sup-
posedly gave him the A+ to give a lec-
ture at the firm. Louis says he doesn’t
think Mike went to Harvard and if Gerard
doesn’t recognize him he’s going to bring
him down, no matter what it does to the
firm’s reputation.
Mike goes to Harvey with his Louis
dilemma. Since Gerard never backs out
of commitments, Harvey thinks they need
to bring the situation to Jessica.
Jessica tells Harvey that her ex-husband Quentin has died. She and Harvey were named
co-executors of his will and his widow Lisa Parker is coming in to talk about his estate.
Mike tells Rachel about Louis. She mentions that Louis won’t stop until he has a confession
proving he’s right.
Lisa (Sharon Leal) wants to sells Quentin’s company to a larger pharmaceutical corporation
and Jessica doesn’t like it. Lisa wants to get his drug to a larger audience, while Jessica thinks
it’s too soon to dissolve the company he founded. It gets personal between the women.
Afterwards Harvey tells her that since the situation isn’t personal for him she should let him
evaluate the offer.
Mike goes to see Louis at his home. He says he did go to Harvard, but Gerard’s third-year
class was the first time he wasn’t able to breeze though without attending lectures. He failed the
final and when he want to beg Gerard for a second chance found the professor’s computer logged
in and changed his grade. Louis is still furious and slams the door in his face.
Rachel visits Louis in his office. She tells him she loves Mike and was able to get past what
he did. She appeals to the connection Louis and Mike had with regard to the love of law. If Louis
burns Mike he’ll never be able to practice.
Harvey meets with Lisa alone. Lisa is unhappy that Jessica has informed the potential buyer
of Quentin’s company that it must also deal with Lisa and the firm.

107
 Suits Episode Guide

Harvey goes to Jessica, upset that she didn’t tell him about her strategy with regard to Lisa
and the sale. He tells her that if she’s not able to consider the deal rationally she should step
aside and reminds her that Lisa is also grieving.
Louis and Mike talk alone in the office. Louis tells Mike he needs to come clean to Gerard. It’s
his only out.
Jessica meets with Lisa and apologizes for the way she’s behaved. Lisa tells Jessica she never
cared about the money, all she wants is to find a cure for Quentin’s disease. Jessica thinks that
since the bigger company has it’s own drug, they might buy Lisa out and bury Quentin’s to make
money.
Harvey tells Mike he’s going to Boston. He tells Jessica he’s going to see his brother. Jessica
tells Harvey she and Lisa are now on the same page and asks Mike to draft a contract guaran-
teeing Quentin’s drug will be developed.
Donna tells Rachel things will be okay. She assures her that Harvey will take care of it. She’s
convinced that even though Gerard is considered cleanest ethics professor in America, Harvey
will find the dirt.
Harvey meets with Professor Gerrard (Stephen Macht) in his office. They don’t like one another
and after bickering for a few minutes Harvey threatens him and tells him not to come to New
York and to avoid Louis’ calls. It doesn’t work.
Harvey returns to New York and tells Mike he doesn’t think there’s anything they can do. He
doesn’t know what to do and Donna has to pull Mike out.
Jessica meets with the general counsel Tim for Quentin’s company. The offer has been pulled
and he is subpoenaing Jessica, calling into question whether Quentin was competent when he
made Jessica executor.
Jessica tells Lisa that when Quentin made her executor he was medicated and in a lot of pain.
Lisa wants her to lie under oath so that it holds up, but Jessica says she won’t do it.
Mike tells Harvey he’s going to resign and beg Louis to let everything go in order to protect
Harvey. He’s says he won’t betray his friend.
Harvey meets with Louis. He wants Louis to forgive Mike and points out that Mike embodies
the spirit of the lie. Louis doesn’t seem sure what to do.
Before Jessica’s testimony she makes a statement that she knew for certain that Quentin
knew what he was doing. Tim then brings up the letter of the law. She responds that she knows
what Quentin would have wanted to do.
Mike approaches Louis and Gerard attempting to come clean. Louis tells him to get lost,
effectively getting Mike off the hook.
Jessica’s testimony appears to work. Afterwards she and Lisa discuss Quentin and embrace.
Donna gives Harvey a better gift for Stevie, personalized Tiffany drinking glasses.
Harvey comes home to find Jessica there with a drink. He offers to tell her the truth about
Mike and she says ”not tonight.”

Production Code: S313
Summary: Harvey goes one-on-one against an old law school rival, with an assist
from Mike, while he and Jessica try not to get caught in the crossfire
of a battle that erupts between Louis and Scottie.

Open with Mike and Rachel in their

apartment. He gets a Rachel a nice
present and he wants to do the same
for Harvey. She suggests he get Harvey
”something money can’t buy.”
Mike tells Donna he needs to get Har-
vey something to know what he means to
him. After telling him it’s impossible, she
comes up with an idea.
Scottie is introduced buy Jessica as
the newest partner. She requests tak-
ing lead on an acquisition by a company
called Franklin Currier. The company is
Louis’ client and he is furious when Scot-
tie uses a technically in the bylaws (him
being ten minutes late to a meeting) to
take the transaction away from him.
Mike drops a folder on Harvey’s desk. His present is a trial against A. Eliot Stemple, an
attorney who beat Harvey three times in moot court at law school but has been ducking him ever
since.
Louis asks Jessica where he falls in the pecking order in relation to Scottie. He thinks he’s
being screwed over because she’s sleeping with Harvey. She thinks he’s wasting an opportunity
to try and bond with a new partner and change the way he’s viewed at the firm.
Louis waits for Scottie in her office with a gift, saying he wants to be friends. But immediately
after giving her the gift he asks for the case back. She says no and he declares war, instituting a
clause that all new lawyers must have the attorney of record present during client meetings.
Harvey surprised Stemple by joining Mike at the their table. He immediately tries to remove
himself but Mike and Harvey are ready for every one of his ploys.
Stemple pays Mike at visit at the firm. He gives him a sob story and asks for Mike to let him
out of the trial. Mike declines, pointing out that his excuses (no family, mediocre career) are BS.
Scottie tells Harvey she intentionally picked a fight with Louis. Her goal is to gain a reputation
outside of being his girlfriend. He’s worried because Harvey just did him a huge favor. She admits
to having done something sneaky.

109
 Suits Episode Guide

Louis is waiting for Harvey, telling him he was up all night working on the favor he asked.
Louis realizes that Harvey has no idea what he’s talking about and Harvey has to admit Scottie
sent the request using his computer. It was a trick to keep him awake.
When Louis returns to his office he finds that Scottie has sabotaged him again, by tricking
Katrina into not writing the proposal for Louis.
At the deposition Harvey’s client is saying that his microchip is equal to that of Stemple’s
client, but they are bullying clients into not doing business with them. Stemple offers a somewhat
fair settlement, which Mike and Harvey realize is a tactic of Stemple’s so that he can use it against
them in court. Stemple then begins to tell Harvey’s client about some Harvey’s past cases to
try and make him look bad. On his way out of the room Stemple whispers to Harvey that his
independent analyst will say whatever he wants him to.
Unfortunately Stemple’s admission isn’t picked up by the camera. So Mike and Harvey decide
to bluff with the judge by saying they have Stemple admitting wrong-doing on camera. It works
and the judge forces Stemple to give Harvey access to the raw data from his independent analysis.
During the meeting with the client Louis sabotages Scottie. He figures out a contractor she
was offering to the client and created the presence of malfeasance. The hope is that this will
erode the client’s trust in Scottie.
Stemple brings Harvey the data and asks him to settle. Harvey says no. The two of them
rehash their battles from law school. Stemple even admits he had to cheat to beat Harvey at
Harvard.
Donna suggests that Louis make amends with Scottie. She thinks Scottie has enough baggage
being with Harvey.
During the next trial session Stemple’s analyst says the performance of the chips is identical,
then says he thinks it’s possible Harvey’s client stole the technology from Stemple’s client. It’s
bogus, but the perception coming from a witness that Harvey called was what Stemple was
looking for the entire time.
Scottie shows him she has cause to remove him from the bylaw committee if he doesn’t leave
her alone with the case.
After court Stemple admits to Harvey and Mike that he set them up. He intentionally made
the claim after the deposition. He’s been playing Harvey the entire time.
Harvey goes to Jessica and tells her he’s not sure what to do next with Stemple. She tells him
that he should do the opposite of what Stemple wants, which is to settle. Mike comes in and says
that while Jessica’s reasoning is correct, settling isn’t the best course of action.
Prior to the next court session Harvey and Mike tell Stemple they are onto him. Stemple is
hoping they would fight, so that during discovery he could get his hands on a special kind of
glue that Harvey’s client uses. This is corporate espionage, so they counter that Stemple drop
the suit, admit to wrongdoing and pay them a large settlement. He has no choice but to accept.
Jessica calls Mike to her office. She’s gotten a call from New York Lawyer wanting to talk
about their case. But she wants to take him off the case entirely so that he doesn’t get near the
spotlight. Mike agrees.
Louis tells Harvey he figured out that Scottie intentionally went after him. Harvey tells him
her reasoning, but Louis thinks he can’t lose without losing his reputation as the toughest guy
in the firm. He wants Harvey to use his power to give him the case over Scottie.
Harvey asks Scottie to give Louis the transaction. She asks for a reason, but Harvey won’t tell
him the nature of the favor Louis did for him. She asks if she’s talking to her boyfriend or a name
partner. He says she’s talking to a name partner.

Summary: While Harvey and Mike have unpleasant work to do for one of their
biggest clients, Louis faces a huge challenge and Rachel tries to collect
on an old debt.

Open with Louis and Sheila in bed. He’s

uncharacteristically calm the final day of
a trial and he credits her love.
Rachel and Mike discussing the fact
she needs to talk to Louis about his
agreement to pay for her law school tu-
ition. She’s worried it will be awkward.
Louis is late for his trial. He misses a
cab and has to run the last few blocks
Harvey tells Donna about overruling
Stevie on the case with Louis. She thinks
he needs to apologize.
Louis walks into the courtroom and
goes right into his closing argument. It
seems to go well, but then he begins to
sweat and has to cling to a table to avoid
falling down. He collapses into his chair
and an ambulance is called.
Jessica talks to Harvey about her conversation with Mike and his realization there is a ceiling
on his career with the firm.
During a client meeting with Tony Giannopoulos, Mike suggests what seems to be a logical
solution for his desire to fire someone in his employ. His No. 2, Jonathan, agrees with Mike, but
Tony isn’t interested. Harvey doesn’t seem to back-up Mike.
In the hall Harvey tells Mike he was more worried about losing Tony’s business and though
he agreed with Mike’s suggestion, didn’t feel it was worth pushing the issue.
Jessica tells Harvey, Donna and Mike that Louis had a heart attack in court. Fortunately the
doctors think he should be fine. The plan is for none of Louis’ clients to find out what happened.
Mike tells Rachel about Louis’s heart attack. She feels awful about her situation with tuition.
He thinks she should talk to Jessica about it.
Donna goes to Louis’ bedside. She asks him to cut back on his work.
Jonathan returns and says he wants to speak to Louis, who is his personal attorney. Mike
say Louis is unavailable and Jonathan tells him he feels trapped with Tony, who has a history of

111
 Suits Episode Guide

not letting people move up. Jonathan has an offer, but Tony’s non-compete means he wouldn’t
be able to continue work in investment banking. Mike gives him a precedent that should help
him get out of his non-compete.
Rachel asks Jessica about her tuition. Jessica is a hard-nosed about it, saying Louis never
said anything to her about and she would never have agreed to such an agreement.
Sheila goes to see Louis in the hospital. He proposes to her and she says yes.
Tony calls Harvey to his office, furious that Jonathan has found a way to break his non-
compete. He blames Harvey and says if he doesn’t figure out a way to get Jonathan back he’ll fire
the firm. Harvey goes on the offensive and says that he’s not like all the other lawyers he’s fired.
Harvey confronts Mike about what happened with Tony. He thinks it’s related to the conver-
sation he had with Jessica. Mike disagrees, but Harvey demands he fix the problem.
Rachel tells Mike about the conversation with Jessica, calling the fact he never told Jessica
”humiliating.” She’s pissed Harvey lied to her. He thinks her problem is a legal one and she needs
to find a way to enforce the verbal contract.
Louis returns to the office and promptly gives Harvey a huge bear hug. Louis asks Harvey to
be his best man and he accepts.
Mike pays a visit to the man who offered Jonathan the job running his investments. Since
the algorithm Jonathan used was developed while he was with Tony, Mike threatens to sue if
Jonathan uses it while in his employ.
Rachel talks to Louis about her tuition situation, but phrases it in a theoretical way. He
responds that the person in her scenario is basically screwed without having the promise in
writing. The person could only sue the person, and not the company, but will likely lose.
Louis and Sheila talk about whether they should live in Boston in New York. She doesn’t want
to leave Harvard and he doesn’t want to leave the firm.
Donna notices Rachel is struggling and they talk about what has been happening.
Jessica gives Louis a welcome back present, a framed picture of a few of the partners on a
retreat. He loves it. Louis gets emotional and she tells him he’s family.
Donna points out that Rachel didn’t give Louis a chance to explain himself. Rachel is upset
that he made her a ”chump.” Getting worked over by Louis makes her think she’s not as clever
as she thought she was. Donna has an idea.
Jonathan tells Mike his job offer has been rescinded. He gives Mike a guilt trip about the fact
in ten years he’ll still be in the same place he is now.
Mike goes to Harvey’s apartment. He says he wants to ”go legit.” Harvey thinks it’s a terrible
idea, because he’d have to commit another crime (hacking the bar) to achieve his goal. Mike says
he can’t live his life this way anymore. Harvey thinks the only way he can do it is by going to a
small town where nobody would ever connect him to New York. Harvey suggests he find a way to
enjoy being in the big leagues.
Mike tells Jonathan he should leverage the fact he doesn’t love his current job with Tony.
That lack of conviction is probably costing Tony money and he should want to let him leave.
Rachel meets with Jessica, making sure Harvey is present. She tells her she’d like an advance
on her signing bonus she will get following law school. Jessica doesn’t like it, since she’s already
broken firm protocol once by waiving the Harvard rule for her. Rachel counters that that protocol
has already been broken, as Harvey was given an advance before law school as well. Jessica has
no choice but to agree to the terms.
Jonathan was able to leave Tony and offers Mike a lucrative job with his new investment
corporation, but not as his in-house counsel. He tells him ”you’re in the minor leagues now, this
is a chance to play in the majors.”
Harvey tells Sheila his friends at the firm appreciate in a way that few people do. He doesn’t
want her to leave ”his family” and she agrees to move to New York. He mentions kids and her
face falls. She tells him she doesn’t like kids. She says she’ll never change her mind, ”it’s who I
am.” She’s upset that after giving up Harvard for him he isn’t able to give up something for her.
Then, Donna sees Sheila crying at the elevator, and realizes that Louis had broken up with her.
The episode ends with Donna demanding Harvey call Scotty and apologize.

Production Code: S315
Summary: A persistent attorney goes after one of Harvey’s clients; Mike is faced
with a difficult decision; former name partner Charles Van Dyke re-
turns with revenge on his mind.

We open with a despondent Louis on his

couch talking to his therapist. Katrina
calls and he says his heart is broken and
may not be back to work for a while. He
tells her not to call him again.
Harvey tells Scottie that he couldn’t –
rather than wouldn’t - tell her the reason
he needed the favor. She seems okay with
it.
In the office Harvey gets a visit from
a lawyer named James. He’s giving Har-
vey a head’s up that he plans to sue his
client, Marathon Playground, for using
toxic materials. He won’t be filing until
Friday.
Mike tells Rachel about the job offer
from Jonathan. She thinks if he can’t talk
to Harvey about the situation he isn’t his friend and shouldn’t be his boss.
Harvey tells Mike about the lawyer. The claim is bogus but it could ruin their upcoming IPO.
He wants Mike to look into James.
Former name partner Charles pays Jessica visit. He thinks they’re hiding profits and would
like an increase in his dividend check.
Mike and Harvey meet with James. They have discovered he’s been recently divorced and is in
financial trouble as the result of a failed case. The case is weak, but given the IPO Harvey offers
him $100,000. When Mike says it’s contingent upon him not representing any other plaintiffs,
James won’t accept. Harvey had planned to offer him $500,000, but after James leaves he tells
Mike says he’s realized that James is a gambler.
Jessica pays Katrina a visit, demanding to know why Louis isn’t in his office. Katrina covers
for him. Jessica needs Louis to handle Charles demanding to open the firm’s books.
Mike brings Harvey an address for James’ game. He wants them to go together and Mike
brings up the job offer. Harvey says he think Mike should take it, reminding him that he recently

113
 Suits Episode Guide

said he’d give anything not to be a fraud. ”It’s still the major leagues,” Harvey says. ”Just a
different sport.”
Katrina asks Rachel for help covering for Louis. Rachel agrees.
Harvey snaps at Scottie when she asks about them doing something that night. She leaves
and Donna thinks Harvey is hurt that Mike might leave on Scottie.
Rachel and Katrina are giddy they’ve found something good on Charles.
Jessica offers Charles five cases to work, thinking all he really wants it to be part of the
operation. He turns her down. She then revokes his dividend check, saying his exit agreement
was with a firm that no longer exists. But the fine print of his agreement is that it is with any
firm that has her as a name partner. She wasn’t aware. Charles then triples his demand.
Harvey goes to James’ poker game, which is incredibly high stakes. Harvey beats him out of
a $100,000 pot, then offers to give James the money if he takes the deal.
Mike negotiates with Jonathan, asking for a piece of the company. Jonathan realizes that
Mike isn’t sure whether or not to take the job. He says he begins interviewing other candidates
the following day and once he finds the right person Mike no longer has an offer.
Mike doesn’t sleep that night, still unsure what to do. He wants Rachel to tell him how she
feels. She eventually admits that she thinks he should take the job with Jonathan to avoid the
worry of being found out.
Jessica tells Katrina she was hung out to dry. She knows Louis would never have missed the
fine print and Katrina has to admit she lied. Jessica fires her, but still protects Louis.
Mike waits for Harvey in his office. He’s not there, but Mike tells her he’s taking the job. She
points out all the things Harvey has done for him. Donna thinks Harvey needs Mike and Mike
needs the job. Ultimately Mike says ”I don’t want to live my life like this anymore.” She warms
him to make sure he’s a terrific investment banker.
Harvey picks up Scottie in a limo to apologize. He tells her about Mike’s job offer and she
points out that if wants Mike stay perhaps he should tell Mike he wants him to stay.
Harvey meets James. James has looked into the way the firm handled Hessington Oil and
plans to go to public with how he and Mike gamed the situation. Harvey now needs to give him
$2 million or he’ll go to the bar.
Harvey tells Mike about James and Hessington Oil. He thinks they need to hack into the bar
so Mike isn’t caught. Mike says he’s taking Jonathan’s job and doesn’t believe it’ll be an issue if
he’s no longer working there. Harvey thinks a person like James will continue to sniff around,
and Mike leaving won’t be enough.
Rachel tells Jessica that Katrina was covering for Louis. She admits that she helped, but
points out they were being loyal to Louis.
Jessica goes to Louis’ place and tells him about Katrina. She’s able to pump him up and he
tells her to dodge Charles they need to become an LLC. This will require re-writing thousands of
contract by the following day, but Louis says his associates are up for it.
Harvey tells Scottie that Mike is leaving. He admits he never asked him to stay and that the
situation is ”complicated.” He tells her about James and Hessington, and says he can’t fight

should end the threat. Harvey tells him to handle it and ”be a lawyer one last time.”
Mike sees James in his office. He shows him that he has evidence he came by his plaintiffs

promises to drop the suit.

he wants to say with the firm.

Summary: Things are anything but business as usual when Harvey and Mike find
themselves at odds with a tenacious U.S. Attorney, Scottie and Harvey
can’t seem to get on the same page and Mike and Rachel clash over
plans for the future.

We open with Donna and Harvey talking

about Scottie and Mike staying with the
firm. They smooth things over.
Mike tells Rachel that he didn’t take
the job. She’s unhappy he didn’t take his
way out and is going to ”remain a fraud.”
Mike isn’t ready to stop practicing law.
Mike is approached by representatives
from the US Attorneys’ Office.
Harvey tells Scottie Mike is staying
and promises to be more open with her
in the future. After Scottie leaves Donna
walks in and tells Harvey about Mike be-
ing questioned.
Mike meets with US Attorney Eric
Woodall. He tells Mike he conspired to de-
fraud the government by paying off wit-
nesses against Eva Hessington. Mike says he didn’t do anything wrong and is told by Will he
wants him to roll over on Harvey.
Harvey shows up and demands Woodall stop speaking with Mike. Woodall says he plans to
get Harold Gundersson to turn on them.
Louis tells Jessica that Harvey missed a meeting. He says he’s worried about Harvey’s health.
Donna tells Jessica that Mike was called in for questioning.
Mike and Harvey think James must have gone to Woodall. Mike thinks he should talk to
Harold. Harvey thinks that’s a bad idea and they need to find a way to speak with him ”without
talking to him.”
Harvey spots Harold’s boss Alison Holt outside Woodall’s office. It turns out that she went to
Woodall after speaking to James and has just fired Harold.
Mike tells Rachel about meeting with Woodall and the fact the US Attorneys’ Office want him
to turn on Harvey. She points out that if he’s charged they’ll go through his records. Mike then
tells her he hacked into the bar, which should protect him. She’s even angrier.

Harvey tells Jessica that Mike should be okay in terms of the bar records. He thinks Woodall
doesn’t have any proof. Scottie walks in and asks if the allegations have merit. Nobody says
anything and she storms out.
Harvey catches her in the hallway and says that as a senior partner she wants to know if the
firm broke any laws.
Harold grabs Mike outside the firm and tells him he was fired out of the blue and has gotten
a call from Woodall. Mike is careful to say they did nothing illegal, but says he can’t help him.
During the conversation they are both placed under arrest.
Donna meets with Stephanie, a friend of hers who works for Woodall. Stephanie says Woodall
”has nothing,” but implies that he’s willing to bend the law to get what he wants.
Scottie demands Jessica tell her what is going on. Jessica responds that she thinks her deal
with Harvey isn’t working out.
Woodall tells Mike he’s using the Patriot Act to keep him from calling Harvey. Woodall makes
reference to doing a thorough background check on Mike. Mike holds strong, but Woodall shows
him a live shot of Harold in the next room that makes it seem Harold is losing it.
Harvey tells Jessica they are going on offense with Woodall. She says Scottie has asked out of
her non-compete contract. Jessica is upset she’s starting to feel as shady as Darby. Harvey says
if Scottie wants to leave they should let her leave.
James shows up at the firm, furious that Harvey has turned him into the bar. He held up his
end of the bargain with Mike, but Harvey says that deal ended when the US Attorneys’ Office
came after him. James threatens to come after Harvey and the two exchange shoves in the
hallway. Donna sees this.
Louis demands Rachel tells him what’s going on.
Donna tells Harvey she can’t find Mike. Louis walks over and says he’s found out Mike and
Harold were arrested.
We see Woodall questioning both Mike and Harold. Harold says he’s not going to roll on Mike
and Mike says he’s not going to roll on Harvey.
On the way to Woodall’s office Louis asks Harvey whether or not they broke the law. Harvey
says ”we have exposure.”
Woodall lists off the time Mike and Harold are facing. He tells each of them they’ll facing
decades in prison and he’ll make sure it’s not a white collar facility.
Harvey thinks Louis should be the one to help Harold, in the process making sure he doesn’t
say anything.
Donna tells Jessica about Mike and Harold being in custody. Jessica reminds her you never
know what happens when a person is in custody.
Donna finds Scottie in Harvey’s office. Scottie is worried Harvey’s changed ”too much.”
Woodall tells Mike that Harold is ready to talk. He gives Mike one more chance but Mike says
nothing.
Harold and Louis arrive. Louis tells Woodall he’s representing Harold. He quickly talks his
way past Woodall.
Harvey tells Mike about Louis and Harold. They wait.
Louis walks into the room where Harold is being held. Harold is initially furious, saying he
thinks he’s facing life in prison.
Jessica goes to see Rachel, saying they’re going to be family and need to wait together.
Harvey tells Mike that if it comes to it he needs to turn him in to avoid jail time. Mike doesn’t
want to do it. They conversation gets heated, just as Louis and Harold walk in and tell them ”it’s
over.”
Woodall stops Harvey on his way out and says he’s not dropping the case against him. Harvey
thinks he has enough to come after him for malicious prosecution and that seems to shut Woodall
up.
Harvey, Mike and Louis return to the firm. Mike and Rachel embrace and he apologizes.
Harvey tells Jessica she was right about them crossing the line and being Darby. She says
she hasn’t told Scottie their decision in regard to letting her go.
Harvey finds Scottie in her office and tells her she’s being allowed out of her non-compete and
buy-in. He then tells her about Mike not going to law school. He says he’s telling her because
she accused Jessica of being Darby, when it was really him. She says she still can’t stay and he
says he ”wants to stop lying to the people I love.”

Harvey gives Donna an update on Scottie. She assures him he’s a good man. He’s not sure
based on what he did to James. She says she stopped the investigation into James.
Mike reminds Harvey of all the shady things that have happened since he was hired. He says
he’s called Jonathan and took the job. Mike asks Harvey for permission to go and they shake
hands. ”You’re a good man, Harvey,” he says. Mike tells him he’s not really leaving, since they
are clients of Harvey.

Summary: Mike and Harvey fall out over some investment-banking strategies.
Pearson works out that a former district attorney could be out for
revenge against Harvey and the company.

Tonight’s episode opens with Rachel and

Mike at home having a little early morn-
ing fun, Jessica heading out to the office,
and Harvey getting some morning action
after enjoying his scenic view.
Mike has an early meeting and gets
started trying to broker a deal for a dis-
tribution company that will save the jobs
of many employees and make a profit in
the process. He arrives at his office and
is greeted by secretary, Amy, as she gives
him his updates and warns him that his
boss is in his office waiting for him and
he is NOT in a good mood. Amy was right
and Mike gets blasted for the deal he just
made because 30% will not make it. He
needs to be brokering deals that will bring
in at least 50%. Mike gets told to do his job or go back to being an attorney.
Jessica welcomes a late Harvey and tells him about a meeting with Logan Sanders. Jessica
shares that he needs to make sure he works some magic because Logan may be on the hunt for
a new attorney after just taking over his company. Jessica wants to make sure they don’t lose
this client. Harvey, of course, is cocky about the whole thing and heads back to his office where
he is greeted by Mike who came to tell him about the deal he’s been working on.
When Harvey comments that he believes Mike is handling it wrong, Mike gets pretty bold and
defends his choice by telling Harvey that he is offering someone a chance to survive, rather than
going in for a hostile takeover. He thinks his plan will play out perfectly. Mike could care less
that Harvey is hesitant to agree and tells him that his way is THE way before throwing out some
demands for work and walking out. Somehow I don’t think Harvey is liking their new business
arrangement.
Donna tries to intervene to get Harvey and Mike to play nice after she worries Harvey’s insub-
ordinate attitude about supporting Mike’s first big idea may get him into trouble. Harvey plays

121
 Suits Episode Guide

by his own rules, however, and tells Donna that he doesn’t let anyone push him around. Jeff
Malone, from the SEC, comes for a visit and serves a warning that the SEC wants to investigate
several of their clients. Jessica figures out what he is really after, and Jeff confirms when he
admits to be tired of being a civil servant. He wants a job at Pearson Spector. He has not formally
been given the assignment to get on the investigation but will in a week, so he needs a formal
offer of employment before then or it will become a conflict of interest. While it could help the firm
to have a former SEC employee working for them, Jessica feels like he is strong-arming them.
Rachel visits Mike at work and tells him that while she was at school she got a text telling
her to take the rest of the day off compliments of Harvey. Mike can’t believe that he’d let Rachel
leave early because the work he left him would require Rachel to work late into the night to get
everything prepared. Mike cannot take the slap in the face and goes immediately to see Harvey.
They argue over the idea again and Mike becomes so upset over Harvey’s attitude and the fact
that he is not taking him seriously, that he informs him that he’ll be interviewing other firms
first thing in the AM, so now he’ll be competing for his client’s business.
Logan comes for his meeting with Harvey. After a short battle between the two overly-confident
men, Logan finally gets Harvey’s ear when he talks about a great idea he has for a deal. He tells
Harvey about his plans which include a hostile takeover of Gilles Industries. Harvey cuts him off
immediately telling him that he has a conflict. Harvey says he’ll be right back as he needs to talk
with his colleague.
Harvey goes to see Louis and tells him about Logan’s plan and that he knew about Mike’s
plan first. Louis tells him he must stick with Mike since he discussed his plans first. However,
Mike put Pearson Spector under formal review. Louis tells Harvey they will have to drop Mike
now. Louis has been plotting for most of the episode about making partner.
Jessica heads over to meet with Jeff and we find out some interesting news... the two of them
have been sleeping together and having a relationship. She cannot believe how he came to her
office with the offer, basically strong-arming her and he didn’t even come to her first. He shares
that he didn’t want her to think he was using their relationship and wanted to handle things the
way he would have if they were not together. She tells him he cannot work at her firm and be in
a relationship with her.
Meanwhile, Harvey meets with Mike and tells him about the conflict that arose because he
put the firm under review. Harvey shares if he doesn’t drop this, the firm has to back the other
client and they will come out ahead, he warns. Mike is suspicious about the timing and thinks
Harvey is doing this because of his feelings for how Mike wanted to work the deal. Mike tells
Harvey that he found a convenient way to get Mike to bow out.
Jessica is making dinner in Harvey’s place as he arrives. She is there to talk with him and
come clean about Jeff. She also seeks his advice because he has been in the position of mixing
love and business. Jessica is fearful of ending up having major issues a la Harvey and Scottie.
Harvey tells her she needs to think about what is most important to her.
Mike meets with Walter and tells him that he needs to consider selling his company by trying
to earn his trust. He found about his loss and tries to play on his heartstrings and win his trust
before it is too late. Harvey tells Logan he needs to move quick if he wants the deal to happen.
Jessica has a date with Jeff at his place and tells him that if he does accept the job, this will
be their last night together. They begin to celebrate their last night before Jeff comes to work at
the firm.
Harvey goes to see Mike and Mike tells him he signed the paperwork after going to see Walter.
The two are still pretty cold to one another. Later, at home, Rachel admits to Mike that the
married man she had an affair with years ago was Logan Sanders.

Summary: A takeover battle pits Harvey and Mike against one another, and
the situation is only complicated further by Mike’s relationship with
Rachel. Elsewhere, Louis partners with recent SEC defector Jeff Mal-
onein.

Tonight’s episode begins with Rachel and

Mike talking about the bomb she dropped
about working with Logan, the married
man she slept with in her past. Mean-
while, Louis practices a presentation he
plans to give to Jessica. He believes
Jeff from the SEC is after them and he
wants to take him down. He has no idea
that Jessica has agreed to hire him. Jeff
shows up and Jessica asks Louis to come
to her office where she drops a bomb of
her own... he is a new senior partner. As
she is talking, Louis seems to be in his
own world as he misinterprets Jessica’s
words and thinks he hears her indirect
messages out loud... she will never give
him the respect he wants.
Rachel tells Donna about Logan and she tells her that she needs to tell Harvey. She has some
flashbacks about the old times with Logan and finally gets the courage to go tell Harvey. She
walks into his office, but he is not there. Surprise, surprise... Logan is in the office waiting for
Harvey. Rachel tells him she plans to tell Harvey about their past after a brief greeting.
He tells her that there is no reason for Harvey to know about their past as it was a mistake.
He cannot understand why Rachel wants to share this detail. She tells him that she lives with
the enemy. Harvey could care less once Rachel breaks the news. He has bigger concerns. Mike is
stirring up a lot of trouble and Harvey is required to meet with a judge after Mike files a TRO to
try to stop Harvey from acting on the deal because of a conflict of interest. Harvey is pretty cocky
about it until the judge forces him to stop any buying or trading for 30 days. Harvey meets with
Logan again and tells him he needs to pay off Mike to get him off their backs.
Jessica meets with Jeff in his new corner office and Louis sees the way they interact together
which makes him even more upset then before. Later, with some encouragement, he decides

123
 Suits Episode Guide

to go tell Jessica exactly how he feels about Jeff coming on board and him getting passed over
again. Jessica tells Harvey to take Jeff out to lunch and he pawns the task off as well through
Donna. She catches on all too quickly, but sets it up anyway. Jeff, meanwhile, heads over to
place nice with Louis, telling him how happy he is to be working with him. It goes south right
away and the two end up in a heated exchange with each challenging one another. They plan to
show their stuff in an upcoming deposition.
Mike meets with Logan and Harvey. They offer him 30 million to make a deal and go away.
Mike is intrigued but wants to know Logan’s plans for the company. Once Mike learns that Logan
wants to strip it down and sell it for parts, Mike says ”no deal.” They begin to argue and Mike
throws the offer and walks out. Harvey is pissed that Logan came to the meeting, but as they
walk out, Harvey now has a plan after he detects a weakness from the competition.
Mike arrives home and Rachel shares her feelings about Mike not taking the deal. She says he
made a spectacle of himself at the office and thinks he didn’t move forward because of her past
with Logan. Mike gets even more upset. He gets more grief at the office when he is scolded for
not taking the 30 million to walk away from his takeover. Mike is informed that the union leader
just flipped and if they don’t have him on their side, they are screwed. Mike’s mouth drops when
he hears the news, but must feel even worse after being told he needs to take the 30 million or
find himself a new job.
Donna goes to see Jessica about Louis and shares a bit about what he’s been feeling. Jessica
is empathetic but shares that she makes her decisions on what is best for the firm. Donna
understands but has an idea. She thinks at the very least Louis should get the corner office.
When Jessica says she cannot do that, Donna sees in her face that she MUST be sleeping with
Jeff. Jessica admits they had a past but confirms it has ended. Donna tells her it is important for
the firm and Louis that he be given the respect of getting the corner office since Jeff is so new.
Mike requests a meeting with Harvey. He tells Harvey he now wants to accept the deal. Harvey
says the office is gone. Mike practically begs, even telling Harvey he’ll take less. Harvey says that
ship has sailed and he was foolish to act that way in the meeting. Harvey knows that Mike must
know he lost or he’d never come back to tell him he wants to accept the offer. Harvey won’t back
down and it seems like he’s giving Mike a lesson and showing him he was right all along and
should have listened to his guidance. Harvey leaves and Mike is obviously very down.
Mike gets a wake-up call from his assistant after throwing himself a pity party. Mike knows he
needs to get his client to fund the pension to get the union back on their side. Mike lays it all out
for him and takes a lot of grief because his client feels like he misled him. It is a heated meeting
but it seems Mike may have gotten the point across and may still be in the game. Meanwhile,
Jessica calls Louis into the corner office and lets him know the office is his. He is in tears and
hugs Jessica.
Harvey and Mike go at it again after Mike shares that he is still in the game and his side has
swayed the union vote back their way. Harvey is surprised but won’t show any weakness and is
clear that Mike might be smug now, but he still didn’t win... he only made it to round 2.

Production Code: S403
Summary: Logan Sanders, a client of Pearson Specter, looks to Harvey to confirm
that his relationship with Mike won’t prevent them from winning the
takeover battle. Elsewhere, misunderstandings arise between Louis
and his new colleague Jeff Malone.

Mike truly is trying not to let the fact his

two favorite people in the world are work-
ing for Logan bother him. But there have
been moments of doubt. Logan used to
date Rachel and Mike needed to her from
her own lips who ended it — apparently
she did though that hasn’t done much to
make him feel better. He doesn’t like Lo-
gan and he has every reason to feel that
way. Logan is a jerk!
He’s not content with Harvey and
Rachel essentially winning this case for
him. It looks like he wants more than
that. Logan is bent on destroying Mike
in the process because he didn’t like how
long his corporate takeover was taking.
Or so he first claimed when he practically
ordered Harvey to play hardball.
Yet, that wasn’t the truth and Harvey didn’t like Logan’s real motives. Logan wants to destroy
Mike just so he can get Rachel back. Once Harvey saw through that ploy he knew it was already
too late for Mike. Logan is going to go looking for secrets and Harvey had to say he would find
dirt. He’d rather Mike go down on his own terms than on Logan’s.
Meanwhile, Louis found a way to butter up Jeff. His first plan was offering the other man his
other ticket to the ballet. It was kind of him but Jeff preferred using his Knicks ticket. So Louis
came right out and asked Jeff what would he need to make it all better and Jeff said he needed
Jessica’s corroboration.
That dirty trick worked in his favor, seeing as Louis went running to Jessica afterwards using
every puppy dog eyes he had in his repertoire in order to get her to work with Jeff. Although
Jessica wasn’t too pleased to find out that Jeff has been manipulating Louis. Everyone knows
how susceptible Louis is to flattery and later Jessica tried to play on it to get off of working with
Jeff.

125
 Suits Episode Guide

It was all three of them pulled in on the SECC case and both Jessica and Jeff tried to use
Louis to score points off each other. However, their battle of double entendre happened to fly over
Louis’s head and now ... he thinks Jeff is interested in him.
Louis went to Donna with his problems and then when she failed to help him find a solution
he tried to work out his problems with Jeff on his own. He told Jeff that though he felt com-
plimented — he wasn’t interested in Jeff for anything other than friendship. And to get rid of
the awkwardness he was going to stop working the case with Jeff. Which leave Jeff and Jessica
alone. Like Jeff wanted all along!
Harvey got Mike fired from his job. He told Mike’s employer about Mike’s former drug usage
and out of spite Mike took something from Harvey that was virtually irreplaceable. He bought up
on all the songs Harvey’s father did during his solo days.
Harvey had been trying to get those songs back since his father’s death and Mike doing what
he did could have ended whatever friendship still remains. But Donna and later Rachel stepped
in and salvaged as much as they could. Mike was going to use those tapes to get re-hired and
after the ladies stepped in and ease down the fighting testosterone — Mike was willing to let
certain things go.
Rachel confessed that she broke things off with Logan and she did. Though she left out the
part that she lied in court for him saying he was the one ending things. She did this because he
wanted to get back his ex, so he owes her from that. Rachel got Harvey’s father’s song and she
got Logan to lay off Mike.
It seems as if she could have fixed all of this from the get-go. Save for Mike’s relationship with
his boss everything else was fixed. Mike is a partner in the company and he’s going to keep on
fighting off Logan’s takeover even though his former boss no longer wants him to.
As for Louis, he found out about Jeff and Jessica and he was so hurt by it. For a second there
he thought he had found a real friend.

Summary: Mike moves to a hostile takeover of Gillis Industries. On the other
side, Harvey and Louis pull out all the stops to make sure they win
this takeover fight, and things take a personal turn.

Open with a furious Donna paying Mike a

visit. She’s upset he used a personal con-
versation against Harvey.
Harvey pays Woodall an early morning
visit at his place. He claims that he was
not responsible for the subpoenas, blam-
ing a cutthroat named Sean Cahill.
Jonathan tells Mike he’s happy he
showed the initiative to buy more of
Gillis’s company. But he gives him a week
to deleverage or he’s fired.
Malone is upset with Harvey for go-
ing to Woodall’s place. Jessica agrees with
Malone and tells Harvey he needs to re-
member that Malone is in charge of these
cases.
Mike tells his assistant Amy about needing to find a new investor. He wants her to get him a

Logan wants Rachel to evaluate companies he’s looking at for his next deal. She agrees but is
unsure why he’s asking her.
Harvey tells Louis he wants help with Mike, who they both know will be scrambling for fund-
ing.
Jessica gives Malone a suggestion for how to handle the SEC. He doesn’t think he needs a
”babysitter.”
Amy shows Mike that Louis is trying to roll back the restraining order.
Jessica and Malone give Cahill a subpoena for malicious prosecution. They know his strategy
is to drop the charges for clients once they leave the firm. Cahill tells them it won’t fly because
the SEC is going after three other firms the same way. During the conversation Cahill drops a
bomb: Malone was about to be fired from the SEC when he left.
Outside Jessica is furious that Malone never told her he was going to be fired. He tells her it
was bogus, that the reason is that he was refusing to go after Jessica’s firm.

 Suits Episode Guide

Before going into court Mike tells Louis he’s sorry about the news that Sheila is engaged.
Louis thinks Mike’s using this to get him off his game.
Mike’s ploy works and Louis explains to Harvey why he wasn’t at his best. Harvey shows Louis
that Mike invented the whole thing to rattle him. Sheila isn’t actually engaged. Harvey is furious.
Rachel finds a red-eyed Louis in the copy room. He explains what Mike did. She thinks this
might be a sign Louis should reconnect with Sheila.
That night Rachel confronts Mike about what he did to Louis. She’s upset that all he cares
about is winning. He reminds her all the lives Logan will destroy if he wins.
Harvey tells Malone he should take the stand. Malone hates the idea, but Harvey doesn’t seem
to be giving him a choice.
On the advice of the very smart Amy, Mike changes his tactic with regard to Giannopoulos.
The judge tells Cahill that if the charges against any Pearson Specter clients are dropped after
they leave the firm he’ll be facing jail time.
Rachel brings Logan five brand new options for his next case. He hates her ideas and wonders
if she brought him a proposal he’d reject so she wouldn’t have to meet with him.
Mike brings Giannopoulos a favor in exchange for him considering Gillis Industries. Gi-
annopoulos sends him away rudely, without seeming to really consider his offer. In the lobby
Mike runs into Louis. Louis had told him about Jonathan leaving on the advice of Mike. Mike
apologizes but Louis says he’ll never forgive what he did.
Donna tells Harvey about Louis fixing the problem with Mike. Harvey reminds her Louis
created the problem in the first place.
Jessica and Malone go to Cahill an offer to drop their malicious prosecution case if he drops
the subpoenas against their clients.
Mike approaches Forstman about funding. He isn’t interested until Mike tells him he’d be
about to screw over Harvey. It works and he pledges $230 million, but says there will be a
provision that cuts out Jonathan once the deal closes.
Mike tells Amy about the provision cutting out Jonathan. Mike tells her that he’s gone either
way but it’s better to be fired after the deal closes. She doesn’t like screwing over Jonathan.
Rachel does what Logan asked in the first place. The two make up and go over the prospects.
Mike apologizes to Louis again, then tells him he got funding by using an enemy of Harvey’s.
During the meeting Rachel tells Logan his idea weren’t that great. He’s worried he’ll be in
trouble with his board, but she has suggestions that could bail him out.
Louis admits to Harvey the reason Mike had the idea to go after one of his enemies is that he
stuck the previous win in Louis’ face. Harvey is again frustrated with Louis screwing up.
Malone and Jessica celebrate that Cahill has taken their deal. He apologizes for lying to her.
Harvey walks in and tells them Cahill has been asking their clients for dirt. That’s going to be his
real play. Malone is upset he didn’t see it coming.
Harvey pays Mike a visit in his office. He says getting in bed with Forstman is a mistake.
Harvey thinks Forstman is shady, but Mike responds he has no other choice.
Rachel and Logan work late and find an idea plan she thinks will impress his board. Before
she leaves they have a brief moment where he leans in to kiss her. She walks out before anything
happens.
We see Mike make the deal with Forstman.
The episode ends with it seems that Jessica and Malone are getting together.

Summary: Rachel finds herself getting anxious about work, school and her at-
traction to Pearson Spcter client Logan Sanders. When Donna helps
Louis out, she tries to get him to face up to one of his fears. Harvey and
Mike call a ceasefire, but Sam gets involved and makes a accusation
of collusion. Mike learns how ruthless his new partner can be.

Open with Mike letting Rachel sleep in to

9am. She isn’t getting any sleep between
school and her work for Harvey, but it
still furious at Mike.
Harvey and Cahill exchange threats
in a court room. Harvey says he’ll get
him fired just like Woodall, while Cahill
promises to be a much tougher foe.
Mike tells his assistant about a new
plan that might help him win without ac-
tually getting in bed with Forstman and
having to cut Jonathan out. Wexler, an
investment company, will likely be selling
some of its Gillis shares. Mike then goes
to see Harvey and advises him to ”walk
away,” making an offer for Logan. Harvey
knows about Wexler and picks up on the
fact Mike is trying to use the money for leverage.
Jessica tells Harvey she’s wants to be the one to tell Malone he needs to come up with a
legal (ish) way for them to buy Gillis stock on behalf of Logan despite the fact they are under a
temporary restraining order.
Donna tells Louis she’s back on stage doing Shakespeare. It opens that night and she’s strug-
gling with her lines. He’s going to help her.
Mike tells his assistant he’s now got no options. He has to go after the shares with Forstman’s
cash, meaning he’ll be cutting out Jonathan.
Jessica tells Malone about Wexler and Gillis. He doesn’t love the idea, since it’s technically
illegal.
Jonathan brings Mike into his office and compliments him on the good work he’s done. He
gives him a blank plaque on which he can write up what will be his first deal, or ”tombstone.”
Rachel gets a voicemail from Logan saying his board loved the plan they worked on together.

Harvey goes to see Malone. They argue over the legality of what Malone is being asked to do.
Harvey basically tells him he has no choice.
Rachel asks Harvey for a day off. It doesn’t go well.
While helping a nervous Donna with her upcoming play Louis admits to her that he suffers
from stage fright. He helps instill confidence by complimenting her and it seems to work.
Rachel tells Mike about Harvey biting her head off when she asked Harvey for time off. They
both say they want this whole Harvey/Logan thing to be over, but Rachel is clearly struggling
more.
Malone tells Jessica and Harvey of his plan, which is getting a retainer from Logan that is
equal to the number of shares they want him to buy. They like it.
Donna tells Harvey her experience on the first night was ”amazing” and she gives him credit.
Louis knows the entire play by heart and she asks if he can fill in for an actor who broke his
ankle. He tells her the origin of his stage fright was peeing his pants on stage. She begs him,
since if he doesn’t help she’ll lose the final two performances.
Mike meets with Wexler about the shares and learns they’ve gotten a similar offer from some-
one else. He’s going to have them compete in a blind bidding competition the following evening.
Mike approaches Harvey in the bathroom. He knows what Harvey and the firm are up to and
threatens to call the SEC. Harvey responds that it won’t work, since by the time everything is
sorted out the TRO will be lifted and they’ll be right back where they are now.
Mike is told Rachel has been taken to the hospital. He rushes there and finds Harvey waiting
in the hall. Rachel fainted because due to dehydration but will be fine. Harvey has already post-
poned the sale. She’s sedated and Harvey suggests they wait across the street at a restaurant.
Over their first-ever steak dinner Harvey tells Mike he feels guilty for telling Rachel she
couldn’t have time off. He shows him a picture of Louis on stage. Mike is upset that Louis
still hasn’t forgiven him for his Shiela play. They compliment each other on some moves they’ve
made.
A sweating Louis refuses to go on stage during the middle of the play. To get him to go through
with it she starts hurting his feelings so he’ll turn that into rage.
As Mike and Harvey leave the restaurant Harvey tells Mike to tell Rachel she can have the day
off the following day. Cahill shows up from around the corner. He’s been following Harvey. He
thinks the what’s happened is far-too convenient, Rachel fainting, just before the sale is made by
Harvey’s firm. This news is a shock to both Harvey and Mike. Cahill leaves and Harvey swears he
had nothing to do with it. It must have been Jessica, but Mike doesn’t buy it. Harvey promises
to fix things.
Rachel has a dream where she and Logan are together and she confuses him with Mike for a
second. She springs awake and Mike is there waiting for her.
Harvey goes to see Jessica. She doesn’t care that he made a promise to Mike and reminds
him their first responsibility is to the client,.
The next morning Rachel seems to be feeling better. Over Mike’s objections she says she is
going to go into the office to do a few things.
Donna basically admits to Louis that she tricked him into performing in her play to help with
his confidence. He’s grateful.
Rachel finds flowers on her desk. They are from Logan, wishing her well after the scare.
Harvey meets Mike and tells him he couldn’t fix what happened. He says this wasn’t what he
wanted but he can’t fight Jessica this time. Mike doesn’t believe him, but Harvey responds by
telling him he regrets what happened and should have trusted Mike when he first brought the
takeover plan to him.
Mike tells Forstman he made a mistake and no longer needs his money. Forstman responds
by telling him he knows Mike tried to leverage his money. Forstman has already gone to Jonathan
to take his money. He tells Mike they are partners ”whether you like it or not.”

Summary: Mike suddenly has leverage, and Harvey and Logan are ready to make
a deal, until Louis finds a way to turn the tables on everyone. Mean-
while, Rachel’s actions could add insult to injury for Mike.

Open with Louis handing out gift to ev-

erybody. He has a special one for Donna,
whom he asks to help him get back in
Harvey’s good graces.
Jonathan asks to meet with Mike.
The SEC has called and accused him
of colluding with Harvey. Mike tells him
Rachel’s health was the reason the sale
was pushed. Jonathan wants to know if
anything else is going on. Mike declines
to mention Jonathan getting cut out.
Rachel flashes back to what seems like
the first time her and Logan’s affair be-
came physical. In the present she’s in a
cab with his note in her hands. She goes
to his apartment to tell him she wants
him to stop pursuing her. He responds
that something is going on and makes a move on her. He kisses her and they begin passion-
ately kissing. She rushes out after a few seconds.
Donna tells Harvey that Logan’s been brought down to the SEC.
Harvey arrives at the SEC to find Cahill sitting with Logan, who has yet to speak. Cahill
asks Harvey about the collusion charges with Mike and it seems that was the only Cahill’s real
purpose.
Rachel comes into the office and lets it slip to Donna that she was with Logan that morning.
She admits to kissing him for ”too long.” Donna tells her she can’t tell anyone anything.
On their way out Harvey assures Logan he can’t talk to him about the shares he bought. He

meet with Mike.

diately.
Mike tells his assistant he’s now in the driver’s seat. She tells him Harvey called and wants to
meet.

Malone tells Jessica he’s not worried about Cahill. She wants him to double-check everything
to make sure what happened with parking the stock is airtight. He won’t do it, saying ”either you
trust me or you don’t.”
Harvey wants Mike to give him a number that will end the proceedings. Since Mike knows
they now can’t do anything with the shares, he has no interest in his deal. Instead Mike wants to
buy Logan out. The only way he’ll meet with Logan is if Logan guarantees he’ll leave with Gillis
Industries.
Harvey asks Rachel about her recent work with Logan. She tells Harvey that Logan’s under
pressure from his board and will need to end things soon or risk losing control.
Jessica takes Louis to lunch and asks him to go over Malone’s work. She says she wants him
to make sure they have no exposure, and wants him to do it without letting Malone know.
Logan confronts Rachel about her telling Harvey what’s going on with him. He tells her he’s
going to be in a room with Mike, but assures her that he won’t say anything. He thinks they’ll
still get together and doesn’t want it to be because she and Mike are fighting.
Rachel comes home and suggests Mike let Jonathan hand the meeting. Mike tells her he holds
all the cards and she says he should ask for ”one more thing.”
During the meeting with Logan and Harvey, Mike gives them the offer. Logan agrees to the
offer. Then Mike adds one more caveat: He wants Logan to seek new representation afterwards
so only he will be Harvey’s client. Logan thinks they should let Harvey decide and that is agreed
upon. But after Harvey picks Mike, Logan immediately reneges and says he doesn’t think Jessica
will let Harvey choose Mike, since Logan has so much business on the horizon. Mike says that
means there is no deal and walks out.
In the hall Harvey assures Mike that if he lets him close the deal he’ll make sure Logan is out.
Mike won’t do it, telling Harvey to get Logan to agree up-front.
Louis tells Jessica he found a small mistake in Malone’s work. It means that the sale is invalid,
which protects them from any legal liability. She wants him to tell Harvey.
Louis tells Katrina what happened with Malone. He hasn’t been able to reach Harvey and is
worried that if Malone finds out first he’ll clean up his own mess. Louis has a plan.
Donna goes to Rachel, aware that she was probably responsible for Mike adding terms and
blowing up the deal. Rachel says she thought it would be the best way to make Logan go away
without anybody finding out. Donna tells her that it’s being fixed because Harvey’s going over
Mike’s head to Forstman.
Harvey goes to Forstman. He tosses him the keys to the Aston Martin they had previously
fought over and say he wants Forstman to buy him out. He says Mike and Logan let personal
things get in the way. Since Harvey is there asking to buy him out Forstman thinks that means
he shouldn’t do it. He then tells him the Wexler block of Gillis stock went back on the market a
half hour ago and he bought it.
Mike finds Jonathan waiting for him in his office. He tells Mike about Forstman buying the
Wexler shares, which means ”we win.” When Jonathan asks him to draw up an offer Mike sug-
gests they team up with Forstman. Jonathan doesn’t think they’d be able to convince Forstman.
Mike says the way to do it is to give him a 100 percent discount on the Gillis deal.
A furious Harvey calls out Louis because he dumped the Wexler stock, removing the leverage
he had with Forstman. He knows Louis’ instructions from Jessica were to wait for his approval.
Harvey tells Louis the reason he’s not a name partner is because his judgment calls always seem
to be wrong. Harvey tells him to ”stay the hell out of my business.”
Louis goes to see Forstman. He says he’s there to give him Harvey ”on a silver platter.” Louis
tosses Forstman proof that he hates Harvey. He’s gone to Harvey’s client behind his back and
has the authority to buy Forstman out. He wants to score a win over Harvey.
Mike goes to Forstman with the offer. Forstman responds that he’s already sold to Pearson
Specter. This completely screws Mike, who is basically blowing the biggest deal he’s ever worked
on. Forstman says he wants Mike to work for him, and says Mike doesn’t have much choice given
the hit his reputation is about to take. Mike tells Forstman to ”go to hell.”
Louis goes to see Harvey. He tells him he lied to Forstman about having Logan’s approval. The
whole story he gave Forstman was bogus in order to score a win for Harvey. Harvey couldn’t be
happier.
Mike comes to the office to find out that Jonathan’s found out about everything. Jonathan
says he’ll never trust Mike again and fires him.

Louis admits to Katrina that Forstman insisted on routing the transactions offshore to avoid
taxes. Louis never reported this, which is illegal. He says he has no plans to do so, essentially
because he doesn’t want to disappoint Harvey.
Rachel tells Donna that Mike lost his job. Donna advises Rachel not to tell Mike what hap-
pened. Rachel disagrees.
We see Mike pack up his desk.

neuver Sean Cahill.

Mike lies in bed staring up at the ceiling.

Rachel wakes up on the sofa. Mike hears
knocking at the door and goes to find
room service with a cart. Donna brings
Rachel some coffee and tells her she can
borrow from her closet but then Rachel
tells her Mike is coming back to work to-
day. Donna tells her to suck it up and
just report to Harvey as usual. She ad-
vises her to give Mike space but Rachel
says she wants to grab him and tells him
she loves him. Donna says to leave it
alone and it will work out like it should.
Rachel says she can’t know that.
Donna tells her she slept with Harvey.
Rachel is floored. Donna says it was just
once after he left the DA’s office. She said
she might have tried a relationship with Harvey but he wasn’t ready so she just took the job at
the firm. She tells Rachel everything worked out the way it was supposed to. Jessica shows up
at the same time Harvey shows up.
She calls him the most selfish man in the world and then asks why he’s there so early. He
tells her she should sleep in once and a while. He says he has work to do n the Schmooklinsberg
brief. She tells him she’s taking his name off the wall. He tells Jessica to stop giving him the
inquisition and she sys she knows he’s there because it’s Mikes first day back. He plays dumb.
Louis is hiding the damning document deep in the file room and he tells Katrina this is a fresh
start and he never wants to hear about it again. Sean is there, calls them Bonnie and Clyde and
serves Jessica for files on the Gillis Industries takeover. She tells Harvey it’s a search warrant,
not a subpoena. Jessica says to have it that way. She tells him to go see Norma to be taken up
to the file floor.
Harvey says he can go look for the ark of the covenant while they go down to the courthouse to
find it. They tell Sean good luck finding the documents before Bonnie and Clyde get his warrant
shot down. Donna welcomes Mike back and calls him sailor. He says Harvey’s office hasn’t
changed a bit as he browses through Harvey’s vinyl collection.
Donna takes him to his new desk. She tells him he’s already a pain in the ass and he’s only
been there five minutes. She shows him his office and he’s floored. He thanks her because he

137
 Suits Episode Guide

knows she wrangled it for him. She says he has work to do and says the partners have lined up
work for him since he’s the boy wonder. He thanks her for not bringing up Rachel and she says
it’s between the two of them.
Katrina finds Mike in the kitchen and they hassle each other good naturedly. She tells him
that Louis had to make sacrifices to bring him back. She says he wanted to reignite things with
Sheila but picked getting Mike back over modifying his work schedule to work on his relationship.
She says she wanted him to then slips him a tiny hug and welcomes him back.
At the courthouse, Bonnie, Clyde and Sean greet the judge and Sean tries to defend himself for
going around the judge that should have signed off on it. He asks Sean why he went around him
and he says he had to get it quick before they destroy evidence. The judge cancels the warrant
and says they’ll have a full hearing and he better have more than innuendo.
Jessica tells Harvey that Sean won’t stop. He says they should just give him what he wants
and says they have nothing to hide. She says the witch hunt is about Cahill thinking they
colluded with Mike. She tells him now that Mike is back, he needs to definitely collude with that
fraud and get them out of the mess they’re now in.
Harvey comes to see Mike and tells him the office is a step up and tells him it’s his old office.
He tells him to check the top left drawer and Harvey says it was his idea to give him the office
and says it’s good to have him back where he belongs. He tells Mike to figure out a way to get
Cahill off their backs. Mike says to just give him the files and Harvey tells him the cop anecdote
Jessica shared.
Mike asks how Jessice feels about him coming back. Harvey says to beat Cahill then ask that
again. Louis is in Harvey’s office and says he knows that he’s courting Mike. Louis wanted Mike
to have his old office but Henderson got it. Harvey says Henderson thinks Louis thinks he’s a
god and begged for his old office. Louis buys it and goes to see Mike.
He tells him the prodigal son has returned. Mike thanks him for bringing him back and offers
him anything in repayment. Louis says he doesn’t owe him and shouldn’t offer to repay him
again. Louis tells him to drop everything and Mike tells him he’s working on Cahill. Louis says
they have to fight him and tells him to forget what he wanted. Louis is in full freak out mode and
tells him to get to work.
Louis goes to Katrina and tells her that Cahill wants the files that will show that he moved
the money. He asks her to cover his tracks while he tries to go undo what happened. They get to
work. Louis goes to see Charles and tells him he needs to give him the money back. He tells him
Cahill is on to them and Charles says he still has time to submit it to the IRS.
Charles says all they’ll find is that Louis embezzled but Louis blows up at him. Charles tells
him to draw up the paperwork again and get Harvey to sign it instead of him. Louis says he can’t
frame Harvey for a felony but Charles says the deal is staying in place with someone’s name on
it. Uh-oh.
Rachel comes to see Mike and flirts a bit. He tells her he’s busy and doesn’t want to have it
out with her now. She says she’s there to work with him on the Cahill case but he doesn’t want
her. She says she’s Harvey’s associate now and he says Harvey didn’t mention it. He tells her it’s
a bad idea and she says he can’t act disappointed that she works there too.
She apologizes as he stomps out to go get some air. Cahill finds Mike at the bagel stand out
front. He tells Mike to play Let’s Make a Deal and Mike says he’s not interested. Mike walks away
but Cahill says sooner or later he’ll get the files but Mike can give the up voluntarily and says
any files with his name on it will just say anonymous former employee. Mike says he has nothing
to hide.
Cahill asks if Harvey is footing the bill for his room at the Soho Grande then tells him to order
the Cobb Salad. Mike goes to see Harvey and says he was propositioned by a blonde. Cahill.
Mike thinks Cahill has been following them without authorization. Mike goes to get a list of all
authorized SEC follow orders.
Katrina goes to see Louis and says she buried it deeper and added a stack of similar looking
documents. She asks what happened with Charles and he tells her that he offered to let him pin
it on Harvey but he says he won’t. Louis tells her she did a good job but if they find that file, he’s
going to prison. Katrina says they need to help Harvey win the motion and he agrees. They get to
work.
Donna chews Rachel out for getting in Mike’s face. She asks why she’s doing this again and
Donna says she couldn’t even make it through one day. Donna says just because it’s hard doesn’t

138
 Suits Episode Guide

mean you can’t do it. Rachel says she and Mike aren’t like Donna and Harvey and Donna takes
offense that she brought up her secret. Rachel says she has to fight to win Mike back.
Mike is in the bullpen looking at his old cubicle when Rachel comes in and asks if he missed
it. She tells him she lied about Harvey assigning her to the case. She says she did it because he
left there home and came there. She tells him she’s so sorry. Mike tells her to leave him alone
because when he looks at her, he just sees him. He yells at her and asks why it had to be him.
Mike says he doesn’t need her apologies. He says he just needs that image out of his head.
He walks off. Cahill is in court and Mike comes in and Harvey asks if he got it. He says he didn’t
but has a back up plan. He has a fake list of the SEC authorized stalking list. Harvey tells Cahill
that he has a list of authorized surveillance and says that will make his evidence disallowed.
He falls for it and says that he is withdrawing his request but says Logan Sanders is requesting
the files in exchange for immunity. The judge says pending verification of the signature, they have
to release the files ASAP. Cahill gets in their faces with an ”I told you so.” Louis brings Mike some
info on stopping Cahill but Mike tells him what Logan pulled.
Louis is relieved because the files with Logan in them have nothing to do with him and so he’s
in the clear. He dances into Katrina’s office and tells her he’s happy. He says that they’re sending
the files, but not his files. He tells her Logan signed a deal but it doesn’t include the document
that would nail him. He tells her to take the rest of the day off and splurge. She thanks him.
Jessica comes to see Mike about Logan’s deal. She says he should have never cut him loose
and that he only did it for Mike. Harvey says he doesn’t want a lecture. He says he’s happy to
fight with her over which clients they keep. Mike comes in and says they need to stop fighting
Cahill. He says he wants all the files so they should give him ALL the files. Uh-oh. Louis won’t
like that at all.
At the hotel, there’s a knock on Mike’s door. It’s Rachel. He asks why she’s there and she says
she wants to get the image out of his head. She says it will never completely be gone. She says
she has an image of him with Tess and she got over it. He tells her she knew what it would do
to him and did it anyway and she says it was a mistake. She wants him to decide if he loves her
more than he hates what she did.
Rachel says to tell her if it’s over or not and if not, to come home. She’s teary and leaves.
Mike looks thoughtful. Harvey and Sean are at the judge’s chambers. Harvey tells the judge they
are handing over all the files but wants the court to catalog all the papers to make sure Cahill
doesn’t add anything. Harvey also files a malicious persecution lawsuit.
The judge says he can’t stop Harvey from handing over the files and asks Cahill if he wants to
proceed under the threat of malicious prosecution and he decides to go for it. Jessica tells Mike
that it was a good idea and that Cahill went for it. He thanks her for taking him back and she
says she didn’t want to. She reminds him Cahill was a problem they wouldn’t have if not for him.
Jessica asks Mike why he came back. Mike says it doesn’t matter why, but says he’s staying
because this is where he belongs. Katrina comes to see Louis and he tells her that he’s going
to see Sheila but she breaks the news that Harvey is handing over all the documents because
he thinks we have nothing to hide. Louis says it’s a matter of time before he’s marched out in
handcuffs.
Katrina has a new document and says it clears it up. Louis says it’s forgery and she says it’s
less of a crime than what he did. She says Cahill is looking for dirt on Mike and Harvey not him.
She says he has to decide now because they’re turning over the files in the morning. Mike comes
to see Louis who looks green around the gills but he tells Mike he’s okay.
Harvey calls to Donna and asks if the file transfer is ready and he hands her some work and

Summary: The SEC investigation comes to a head as Sean Cahill begins a round
of depositions — no one at Person Specter is safe, and no topic is
off limits, as the inquisition unearths secrets both professional and
personal.

Harvey comes into Jessica’s office and

finds Louis there. He says he didn’t do it
to be a hero. He said Forstman told him
to sign or the deal was off. Harvey says
there’s more. Louis says he made him
take a million dollars to buy his silence.
Jessica curses and Harvey tells him he
could have said no. Louis says if he’s that
selifish, why is he there confessing?
Jessica says they’re innocent and
Sean will use it to make all the accu-
sations sticks. Jessica asks to speak to
Harvey alone. He asks why she’s defend-
ing Louis and she says she’s not, she just
doesn’t want him going to confess what
he did to anyone. She tells Harvey as soon as this is all done, she’s firing Louis. OMG!
Mike gets out of the shower and finds Rachel fussing over him. She pulled out his parents
photo album and he asks why she had it out. She says she was looking for photos of him. They
talk dinner and she says she doesn’t want to go out. He says they have no food, but she ordered
in burritos since he loves them. She says she had them there in case he come home. She says
it’s good to have him home and he says it’s good to be home.
Donna asks Harvey what’s up and he tells her that Louis broke a law. She asks if he broke a
law or was made to break a law. He rants then she reminds him that he put them all in jeopardy
when he hired Mike and that Mike wouldn’t be there if Louis hadn’t brought him back. He tells
her to take her woes to Jessica because she’s planning on firing Louis.
Havey finds Forstman and tells him to undo the dirty deal or he’ll report him to the SEC. He
tells Harvey there was no deal, Louis just embezzled. Harvey says make the deal or he’ll turn him
in for what he did 12 years ago then he reminds Harvey he did it too. Harvey tells him he did it
to him, Louis and likely hundreds of others and he just needs to find them. Forstman tells him
to get lost and let him finish his cigar and isn’t moved by the threat.
Louis asks Donna if she knows and she says she understands why he did it. She says she
knows he had good intentions and he says he feels like shit. She says he should. She says she
understands but that all the other times he messed up it was a mistake, but this time it was a

141
 Suits Episode Guide

choice. He says he’s not there to get her to go to Harvey, he just wants to know if he’s going to
get fired.
Donna tells him to her knowledge, Harvey isn’t planning to fire him. OMG — she knows he’s
getting fired and is fibbing on a technicality. Jessica finds Harvey in the file room and he reminds
her this is all because of Forstman. He says he laughed in his place. Mike comes in and says he
has Plan B. Mike sas they need to start deposing Cahill to screw with his time.
Harvey delivers a subpoena to depose him for his malicious prosecution claim. He says he’s
starting with his boyfriend Harvey Woodall. Harvey says it’s a wrecking ball headed his way.
Katrina finds Louis at a coffee cart and he tells her he told Harvey and Jessica. He says they’re
working on a way out. She asks if he’s seen any mafia movies. She says Jessica is making plans
to whack him.
Louis sees her wisdom and Katrina says even if he doesn’t go to prison, he’ll be fired and Louis
says he’s on borrowed time. Jessica comes to tell Jeff they’re going after Woodall. She says she
needs him to dig up all the dirt on him. Jeff says he needs to know why if he’s going to participate
in blackmail. She says malicious prosecution claims are helped by a track record.
He tells her not to hide things from him. Jessica tells him that Harvey didn’t collude but Cahill
doesn’t care and tells him to do what he has to do to get her some dirt on them. Harvey tells Mike
that Cahill rolled with the punches pretty well. He says Cahill is also starting his depos and
Rachel is first on the list. He tells him to prep her but Mike says it’s not a good idea. Harvey says
Cahill will take Rachel apart under oath.
Donna finds Jessica in the bathroom. She says she wants to talk about Louis. Jessica says it
was a choice not an accident. Donna tells her if it was Harvey she’d let him help dig out. She tells
him that Louis just wants her approval and that’s why he works hard. She asks Jessica why she
can’t forgive him like she did her and Harvey. Jessica reminds her she fired her before and offers
to do it again.
Eric is first up for depositions with Cahill with him. Harvey says he got him fired from the
US attorney’s office until he got him fired for malicious prosecution. Jessica asks him about Jim
Pembrey. They have emails from him saying he doesn’t care what they have to do to get a guy,
just to get him. Harvey says they pick out a target then look for evidence.
Cahill cuts off the deposition but then Woodall says that’s exactly what they do. The two
stomp out angry. Jessica waits for Jeff and thanks him for getting her the Pembrey info. He says
they landed the first punch but it will be brutal. Jessica says she’s going to court in the morning
to try and shut it down before depos even start. She offers to order in instead of going out.
Mike quizzes Rachel to practice for her depo. He asks if she lives with Mike Ross then asks
if he discusses cases with him. Then he asks about Logan Sanders and says the conversation
wasn’t about business, but about her former relationship with him. Mike asks if she became
involved with him again. She’s uncomfortable and says she kissed him. He asks if they slept
together.
She refuses to answer and he says it’s about credibility. She says he doesn’t trust her and he
says he’s doing his job. He throws down his notebook and she finally whispers tearily that she
didn’t sleep with him, just kissed him and says she hates herself for it. She tells him she’s sorry
and will apologize every day but doesn’t know what else to do. She tells him he means more to
her than anything in the world. She says they need to move on and live their lives. Mike says
that’s enough questions for tonight.
Jessica finds Louis waiting in court and he tells her he read the papers and says he can help.
She says she’s about to put it to bed. She tells him he’s the reason they are in jeopardy and she
doesn’t want Cahill looking at his stupid face. She says he’s ruled by his emotions and that’s
what got them into the mess. She sends him away. The judge tells Cahill the email makes a
strong case for malicious prosecution.
Cahill says he’s the one prosecuting the case, not Woodall. Cahill tells the judge that a former
SEC lawyer — Jeff — has gone to work for Jessica and is involved with her personally. She and
Cahill stare him down. He asks her if she was seeing Jeff while he worked at the SEC. She nods.
The judge says a relationship is not proof of conspiracy and will allow the depos to go forward.
Jessica tells Harvey no matter what, she won’t lose to that SOB. Woodall tells them it’s their
turn now. Jeff finds Louis in his former office and Louis says he heard about him and Jessica in
court. Louis apologizes for rejecting his offer of friendship because he thought he was trying to
use him. He tells Jeff he knows about being alone and Jeff says he’s not alone.

Louis says he’s the one who made the dirty deal with Forstman. Jeff covers his shock and
offers to talk to Jessica for him. Uh-oh. He didn’t know. Mike comes to see Rachel and tells her
the depos are going to start with he and Harvey the next day. Mike apologizes for his aggressive
questioning. He tells her he hasn’t had a full night’s sleep since she told him. She asks if he can
be kinder and he says he hopes so. Rachel says she also hasn’t had a good night’s sleep since
then either and he says maybe they can try tonight.
Cahill has Mike and Harvey together. Cahill accuses them of pretending to fight and says him
hiring Mike back shows they were still together. Cahill asks why he would want him back and
says that no other law firm got a resume from Mike which shows they were colluding. Harvey
says they didn’t get a nickel and there was no collusion.
Cahill says that means someone else must have gotten the money. He says he’s going to find
the money trail in the files because you can’t hide money from the SEC. Mike and Harvey aren’t
happy. Cahill stomps out thanking them for their help. Jeff comes in and asks Jessica why he
didn’t tell him. He says Louis thought he already knew. Jeff says she should have told him since
they’re in a relationship.
She says he’s a ticking time bomb and Jeff is upset but she says she didn’t want him to have
to lie in a deposition. Jeff tells her he can handle crossing lines, but not her lying to him. He asks
how much trouble they’re in and she says that’s what she has to find out. Katrina shows Louis
the deposition with Harvey and Mike and Louis panics. He says he’s done. He laughs bitterly.
He says he has to do something now to protect Harvey and Mike and says he has to finish
what he started. Mike tells Harvey they both needed a better lawyer in the deposition. Mike says
they have to keep Cahill out of the files. Mike says they have a link between Jessica and Jeff and
Mike wonders how Cahill knows about them.
Jessica comes in and asks what’s up. They wonder if Cahill was illegally having Jessica or
Jeff followed. Jessica goes to see Cahill. She accuses him of following Jeff and he says he was
following her without authorization. She says it’s moved on from malicious prosecution to abuse
of power. He tells her that he’ll get a slap on the wrist but Harvey will be in prison.
She says that’s the attitude that got Woodall fired and Cahill tells her that sending Louis Litt
to confess to some bullshit won’t stop him. Mike and Harvey wait at the office stressed out. Louis
comes in and asks to speak to Harvey alone. Jessica stomps in and says he went to the SEC and
confessed. She tells him she’s going to fire the shit out of him when it’s done.
He says he was trying to save them and Mike asks why he’s there and Louis says he sent him
home. HE says he talked to Eric Woodall. Louis says Woodall didn’t care at all and said they’re
not interested in little fish like him. Mike says Woodall doesn’t seem interested in Forstmam and
then Mike reminds them that Forstman wasn’t worried about the SEC — likely because he has
Woodall in his pocket.
Jessica tells them to find the link between the two. Mike and Harvey consider the Forstman
dilemma. Mike shows him contributions Forstman made to three Senators that then appointed
Woodall to the SEC. Harvey says that’s not a direct line and Mike says they don’t need a photo
of him handing Woodall money. Harvey comes in and tells them maybe Woodall took money like
he did.
Louis says Cahill can get access to Woodall’s bank accounts. He says that Woodall kept him
away from Cahill. Mike says Louis may be right. Louis asks Harvey has a better idea — he
doesn’t. Louis says he knows he’s fired but wants to make things right. Harvey tells him to get
his coat. Cahill is looking through files when Harvey, Mike and Louis come in. They hand him
the document proving collusion between Louis and Forstman.
Mike says he wants him to show this to Woodall who will tell him he doesn’t care. He says
Woodall got the position from Forstman. They tell him to check Woodall’s accounts. They want
immunity for Louis. Woodall comes in and seems surprised to see Louis. Cahill asks if he’s in bed
with Forstman. Woodall mocks him and says he has millions — that’s why he drives a Subaru.
Woodall says the allegations are crazy and Cahill says to prove it so it’s done. Woodall says he
wont dignify this with a response and reminds him that he’s his boss. Cahill asks Mike, Louis
and Harvey to step out. Harvey tells Woodall he’s going to need a really good lawyer and to not
call him. The guys leave.
Louis tells the guys Daniel Hardman is the best person to call since you need a criminal to
defend a criminal. Louis thanks Harvey and Harvey thanks him right back. Louis heads off as

Jessica glares. Mike tells Harvey he wouldn’t be back if not for Louis. Harvey says he’ll take care
of it. Jessica says her mind is made up. Harvey says he has done just as bad and so has she.
Jessica says they fix shit and Harvey tells her Louis fixed shit. She tells him that Louis
confessed after she told him not to. She reminds him he blew up a merger over a cat, led Mike to
Forstman and then took a million dollar payout that could have put Harvey in jail. Harvey says
that isn’t enough. Jessica says he never does what he says and that she’s going to do it. Harvey
tells her to let him do it.
Jessica asks why him. He says he wants to tell Louis goodbye not just — you’re fired. He
heads off to dirty his hands. Donna walks next to him and tells him this place is all Louis has.
He says he knows and Donna says she’s coming along. They head down the hall. Louis left a
letter to Harvey and Jessica saying he had to judge himself and not wait to be judged.
He says he came there right after law school and is the only place he worked or wanted to
work. He says it’s his life, home and family. He says he’s ashamed to admit that he put them all
at risk. He says he just wanted to play on their level but can’t excuse his actions. He says there
are no two people he respects more. He says there names are on the wall for a reason and his is
not for a reason. He says he refuses to put either of them in the difficult position of having to fire
him so he is resigning.

needs three companies to get his busi-
ness going, Harvey agrees to talk to Jes-
sica.
Harvey arrives at the office, and con-
fronts Jessica. She is adamant that Louis
can’t have any of their clients, if she
breaks the rules for him, then every
lawyer that leaves will think they can take
their clients with them. Harvey reminds
Jessica that they owe Harvey after what
he did, but Jessica says that she will pay
him back by giving him a ”glowing recommendation,” not any clients.
Michael and Rachel are cleaning out Harvey’s office for him. He left in such a hurry he didn’t

case file.
Louis shows up at Jessica’s office and reveals that there is a loop-hole in the by-laws, and
since she didn’t alert the clients that Louis was fired, they are fair game. Louis yells that he
doesn’t need her ”bullshit recommendation” he needs clients, and if she isn’t going to give them
to him then he is going to take them. Katrina stops Louis at the office and reveals to him that
Jessica had her contact all of his clients in person and tell them that he was fired, so it is over
and he can’t contact them.

partner of the firm; and the Pearson Specter team is dealing with the
fallout of Louis learning Mike’s secret.

The episode begins with Harvey rushing

back to the office, he demands to know
why Jessica called him back to work in
the middle of the night. Louis Litt is sit-
ting in her office and Jessica reveals that
”Louis knows.” Louis gloats that he is be-
coming partner at the office, and Har-
vey tries to argue. Louis tells Jessica he
wants to see his name up on the wall to-
morrow and storms out. Harvey asks Jes-
sica what she was thinking offering Louis
partner — and she says that ”she just
ate a big bowl of shit because he brought
Mike in to her house.”
Harvey stops by his office and Donna
is crying — she apologizes for spilling the
beans to Louis. Harvey comforts her and
tells her that it wasn’t her fault, Louis already knew and she just confirmed it. Donna wants to
call Mike and tell hi what happened, but Harvey says to wait until the morning.
Meanwhile, Louis shows up at Mike’s apartment. He announces that Jessica just made him
partner, and it is all because of him. He gloats that Donna, Harvey, and Jessica all confirmed
that he was a fraud. Mike demands to know what Louis wants from him. Louis warns Mike that
if he doesn’t quit the firm, he will ”bury him under a mountain of shit.” Rachel arrives in the
middle of their argument and realizes that louis knows the truth. Louis leaves and Mike explains
that Louis doesn’t just know — he was just named partner.
The next morning Mike heads to Harvey’s office, furious, he demands to know why they named
Louis partner. Harvey tells Mike that ”it is done” and there is nothing they can do about it. Harvey
gives Mike an inspirational speech about not letting Louis break him. Mike leaves and runs in to
Louis in the hallway, Louis just finished scraping his name off the plaque on the wall. Louis says
that from now on Mike isn’t doing anymore cases since he doesn’t have a degree — he will be
doing paralegal work. Donna is waiting for Louis in his office and tries to talk to him, he doesn’t
want anything to do with her after she lied to him and says that she is ”dead to her.”
Mike calls Rachel for help and he has cases of paralegal work to do and there is no way he
is going to make the deadline that Louis set. Rachel agrees to help him, but she says that doing

149
 Suits Episode Guide

the work isn’t the answer — he needs to make Louis fall in love with him over again. Meanwhile,
Louis meets up with Katrina at the park and says that he is a partner again and he wants to hire
her back as his associate. Katrina agrees, but is confused about why they made him partner —
she warns him that Jessica is probably ”playing him for a fool.”
Harvey visits Jessica and tells her that they have a problem — Louis told Lane about being
made partner and that Mike was a fraud. He warns her that Louis is getting worse, and he is
not going to take it. Jessica tells him that he is going to take it — and do it with a smile on his
face. She announces she is going to clean up the mess herself and storms out of her office. She
visits Louis and reprimands him for telling Zane. Louis tells her to call a meeting with the senior
partners and tell them that Louis is back in or else he is going to tell more people.
Jessica caves and calls the meeting, and they make Louis partner. Afterwards, Jessica yells
at Harvey that he needs to ”make nice” with Louis and pretend that he likes him. Jeff storms in
to Jessica’s office and demands to know what happened. He can tell that Louis has dirt on him,
she whines that she can’t tell him the truth yet. He agrees to take that as an explanation for now
— but not forever.
Rachel finds Louis sitting at her desk — he wants her to congratulate him on making partner.
Rachel reminds him that he threatened to throw the man that she loves in jail. Louis tells her
that he knows that she helped Mike do his paralegal work, Louis says that Rachel is a fraud and
Mike may not have gone to law school but he is a better lawyer than she will ever be. He says
that paralegal work is all she is good for and leaves her speechless.
Harvey heads back to his office and Zane is waiting for him and having coffee with Donna. He
is ready to cash in on his favor, he wants Harvey to get a firm to ”back off.” Donna reveals that
Zane is talking about Scottie and reminds him that he has leverage on her. Mike finds Rachel
crying in the file room, and demands to know what Louis said to her. He storms off to Louis’s
office and screams at him to leave Rachel alone. Louis reveals that he isn’t mad that Rachel
helped him do the paralegal work, he is mad that she lied to his face about Mike being a fraud.
Louis says that from now on he is a different person and he is going to keep hammering on
Rachel until Mike breaks.
Harvey meets up with Scottie and tells her he needs a favor — he needs her to settle her case
with Robert Zane. Scottie says that she just joined a new firm and she can’t risk losing, Harvey
explains that Zane is going to figure out their secret about Mike and expose them. She screams
that she loved him and he is being a ”selfish son of a bitch.”
At the office, Louis’s name is put up on the wall as partner. He still isn’t satisfied, he says
that he wants an unveiling and a party tomorrow, it will be at 4:00 PM sharp. Jessica says she
has a meeting at 4:00 tomorrow, she tells Louis that it was a ”stone cold move” and was just like
something Harvey would have done. She gets in the elevator to leave, and orders Jessica to come
to the party tomorrow and bring Harvey with her.
The next day Jessica, Harvey, and Mike stop by Louis’s office and reveal that he is done
making demands. Jessica reveals to him that since he is a partner, now he is a co-conspirator
and if he goes to the police about Mike, he will go to jail with them. Louis has no choice but to sign
the contract, even though it completely strips him of the power he has been holding over them.
They all head to Louis’s induction ceremony and Jessica gives a speech and orders everyone to
”wipe the slate clean,” and put their differences aside.

refuses to leave. He says that he needs a lawyer, and he doesn’t want Louis. Harvey reminds him
that the last time he saw him he told him he wasn’t fit to be a lawyer. Gerard thinks he is fit now
because he ”needs to win.” Gerard reveals that the TSA found $25,000 in his luggage and he is
being accused of accepting a bribe in his investigation, and he claims he is innocent. Harvey says
there is no way he is representing someone who ”screwed over crash victims.”
Mike follows Harvey to the bathroom and tells him that he is an idiot if he doesn’t take the
case. Mike reminds him that if they get him out of this jam, then he will owe them and won’t be
able to turn Mike in for faking being a lawyer. Harvey admits that he knows Gerard is innocent
and he isn’t taking the case because he doesn’t like him. Mike snaps on him and says he ”can’t
screw over a bunch of innocent people to put one person in his place.”
Jessica visits Louis in his office, she explains that she lied to Malone and he doesn’t know
about Mike. Jessica explains that her story is Louis blackmailed her for covering up someone
else’s embezzlement, so she had no choice but to do it for him too. Louis says he will keep his
secret but he wants something in exchange — he wants one of Harvey’s clients.
Harvey heads out to lunch to meet with Gerard, he tells him that he changed his mind and
he is going to take on his case. He needs Gerard to be honest with him, Gerard admits that the

151

money is from ”the same thing that Harvey blackmailed him for last year.” Harvey storms off and
says that he is going to get him out of it. He heads back to the office and tells Mike he needs to
find everything he can on a man named Garrett Brady, he is the one ”behind Gerard’s suit.” He
explains that Gerard’s $25,000 came from a back room poker game and they can’t use that alibi
in court because Harvard will fire Gerard. Harvey leaves and Louis corners him in the hallway,
he says that he has to give him one of his clients and he wants Gerard. Harvey tells him that it
isn’t an option — he can’t have Gerard. Harvey kicks him out of his office and tells him that he
can’t have any of the clients.
Donna lectures Harvey and tells him that they were supposed to ”wipe the slate clean,” and
he can’t yell at Louis like that. Donna tells him that he has a chance for them to all move on,
and he is blowing it by being petty. Mike does some research and reveals that it is not illegal to
carry cash on a plane and there were no police reports. So, that means that Garrett Brady had
to have bribed the airport security to catch Gerard’s suitcase.
Donna visits Harvey and tries to give him one of Harvey’s case files, she lies and says that
Harvey realizes he is overreacting and he wants Louis to have the client — she hands him the
file and tells him that it is the first client Jessica ever gave him when he made partner.
Harvey and Mike corner Garrett Brady on his way in to restaurant, they reveal that they
know he bribed the federal employees at the airport. They have drafted subpoenas for every TSA
employee on duty the night that Gerard was stopped. Brady reminds them that it was a federal
airport, which means that it is technically a homeland security issue and the TSA employees will
not testify.
Harvey stops by Rachel’s office and tells her that he has a meeting with Joan Walsh and he
needs the file on Cutie Pie Cosmetics. Rachel tries to argue that they are Harvey’s client and
tries to warn him about the client. Louis won’t listen to her warnings and demands the files —
Rachel has no choice but to give them to him. Jessica finds Jeff waiting for her in her office with
a romantic dinner and wine.
Louis heads out for drinks with Joan Walsh, he tries to take out the file and discuss her
stocks with her but Joan orders him to put them away because they are having desert. Louis is
confused when she says that she just wants to enjoy their dinner. Louis ignores her and shows
her a letter that he sent to her entire board — she freaks out on him and says that two members
of her board are known to share secrets with her rivals and he just handed them a patented
product that she has been sitting on for years. She snarls about how stupid he is and storms
out of the restaurant.
Louis goes back to the office and freaks out on Rachel, she laughs that he should have listened
to her about the client Joan Walsh. Rachel snaps on him and accuses him of treating him like
dirt since he came back, and if he wants something from her then he is going to have to treat her
better. The next morning Harvey tells Mike that he is going to have to brief Gerard, he doesn’t
want to sit in a room with him for hours. Jessica visits Louis in his office and tells him that he
”screwed the pooch” with Joan Walsh. Joan called and was furious — she wants to know how
they are going to fix the mess that he created at her company.
Mike finishes briefing Gerard and rushes in to Harvey’s office, he says that Gerard is lying. He
used to count cards and there is no way he won $25,000 playing poker and the hands that he
told Mike couldn’t have won that kind of cash. Mike can tell he is lying, but Harvey doesn’t want
to hear it. Harvey meets up with Gerard and demands to know where the money really came
from. Gerard confesses that he lied and the money came from a student of his in exchange for
changing his grade — he was about to fail his class. Harvey snaps that Gerard is a hypocrite,
and he doesn’t know anything about ethics. Harvey tells Gerard to find someone else to do his
dirty work because he is not supporting purgery.
Rachel works all night and finds a way to fix things with Joan. She shares her plan with
Louis, she has put together a non-disclosure act and non-compete, Louis is thrilled. But, then
he dismisses Rachel and tells her to get out. She argues that she helped him and she should get
to go to the meeting, but Louis says they still aren’t friends and he storms out.
Mike finds Harvey getting drunk in his office, he explains that Gerard took a bribe to change
someone’s grade and he ”sold out Harvard.” Harvey says that he ”doesn’t give a shit about win-
ning Gerard’s case,” and he isn’t going down for purgery. Mike demands to know what his prob-
lem is. Harvey explains that he thought that Gerard was better than him because he always
looked down on him, and now Gerard has let him down. He isn’t half the man that Harvey

152
 Suits Episode Guide

thought he was.
Louis rushes to Joan Walsh’s office and shows her the disclosure act. She is pleased and says
that she will keep him on his case. Joan thinks that Harvey dumped her case on him because
she is so difficult to work for. Louis is livid, he heads back to the office and yells at Donna for
dumping Joan Walsh on him and making him think that it was a great client.
Mike heads out to lunch to meet with Ian, he pretends that he is scouting him. Mike tells Ian
that he knows that Gerard took a bribe from him. He gives him a sworn affidavit stating that the
money that he paid Gerard was a loan — Mike tells him to sign it. And then informs him that his
grade is staying the same and Gerard isn’t accepting any bribes. Ian argues that he isn’t signing
it, but Mike reminds him that if he doesn’t then he will be kicked out of school for bribery.
Harvey calls Gerard in to his office, and has him sign the same affidavit so that the charges of
bribery from the TSA will go away. Gerard reveals that he knows Mike didn’t really go to Harvard,
he checked in to it. Harvey tells him that now they are even, there may not be a record of Mike
at Harvard but now there is not a record of Gerard accepting a bribe. Gerard tells Harvey that he
is sorry for letting him down and leaves the office.
Louis stops in Jeff Malone’s office on his way home. He backs up Jessicas story for her and
confirms to Jeff that his name is up on the wall because of embezzlement. Jeff threatens that if
he could remove it with a crow bar he would, Louis storms out and nods to Jessica as he leaves.
Harvey meets up with Mike for drinks afterwards, he thanks Mike for making him take on
Gerard’s case. He explains that he got some closure from working with Gerard, Harvey lies to
Mike and reassures him that Gerard doesn’t know that he didn’t go to Harvard.

her getting Katrina a job. Rachel reas-
sures her that she isn’t mad, but Donna
apologizes anyways. Rachel dishes that
Louis came to her and tried to make
amends, but she told Louis that they
couldn’t be friends again until he forgave
Mike.
Meanwhile, Jessica and Harvey are
having drinks at his house. Jessica wants
Harvey to ”make things right” with Louis.
Harvey says that he is willing to make
peace, but that is never going to happen
until Louis forgives Mike. Jessica tells
him that he needs to find a way.
At the office the next day — Donna reveals that she signed a major client for Harvey — Jordan.

down memory lane” and gives him a piece of paper and tells him to meet him at Kiernan Motors
tomorrow. Harvey heads out to get drinks and celebrate Fairchild’s retirement. Harvey tells him
that they are wasting their time — and Hartman is not going to name either one of them senior

Louis has ever had.

Flashback: Mike’s friend Trevor surprises Mike with a new apartment. He tells him that he is
going to cover all of the rent for a year, since Mike took the fall for him and couldn’t graduate
from college because of him. Trevor wants to celebrate — but Mike says that he can’t he has a
date with Claire.
The next morning Harvey and Louis pay Hartman a visit. He isn’t buying their ”two junior
partners” plan. Fairchild says that he wasn’t going to name a new partner at all, but he admires
their gumption. So, he tells them that whichever one of them lands Kiernan Motors, can be
named senior partner. Harvey and Louis head to a car rental place to get a car to impress the
reps at Kiernan — Louis is shocked when Mike walks in and Harvey announces that they are
taking him with them on the road trip.
Mike, Louis, and Harvey hit the road together all in one car. Louis doesn’t want to talk —
but Mike demands to know why Louis has forgiven everyone but him. They bicker over which
one of them hates being in the car more. Meanwhile, back at the office Jessica and Hartman are
bickering over who will land Kiernan — Harvey or Louis. Hartman informs her it isn’t about who
lands Kiernan — it’s about which one of them will do ”whatever it takes for the firm.”
Flashback: Mike heads out on his date with Claire. They have appetizers and beers and get
to know each other. Claire wants to know what he does besides being a bike messenger. Claire
informs him that she wants to be in a relationship with someone that takes his career seriously,
so he lies to her and tells her that he goes to Columbia law school. The next day Mike heads
to Claire’s office and she is working on a client’s case, Suarez is about to be deported to the
Dominican Republic because his visa has expired. Mike agrees to help Claire with the case.
Harvey heads in to meet with Kiernan, he is determined to win over the client. Kiernan says
that he has a hearing tomorrow against Fletcher Engines, and if Harvey can win that then he
will sign with him. Harvey, Louis, and Mike head home, and bicker the whole way about who
has to sit by who. Harvey heads in to Hartman’s office and brags to him that he ”killed his
meeting” with Kiernan. Hartman informs him that he has to drop Kiernan now, because Fletcher
Motors called him and they want to sign now. Harvey is furious, he just gave Kiernan his word
he would represent him, and he can’t drop him now. This was clearly all Hartman’s plan from
the beginning, he knew that if Harvey met with Kiernan, Fletcher would want to sign.
Harvey goes to court and returns to the office, and reveals to Donna that he lost his case
against Fletcher. He thinks Hartman tipped them off, because they knew his every move before
he made it. Now, he needs to sift through hours of paperwork of paten laws. Donna reminds
Harvey that paten laws are Louis’s forte, and he should ask him for help in cleaning up the
Fletcher and Kiernan mess. Harvey visits Louis and asks for his help — he promises him that if
he helps him and Harvey makes senior partner, he will make sure he is named senior partner as
well.

of the office and then tells Mike that he knows he is a fraud and he isn’t going to law school —
he throws all of the work that Mike did in the trash can and then warns Mike to stay away from
Claire.
Harvey heads in to Hartman’s office — and Hartman announces that he has made Louis
senior partner because Louis was ”willing to do whatever it takes.” Harvey is baffled because he
landed Kiernan and thought that was what he needed to do... but apparently that wasn’t the
case. Harvey storms in to Louis’s office, Louis confesses that he is the one that warned Fletcher
and gave them information on Harvey’s case. Louis explains that Hartman told him he could be
partner if he did it, but he can help Harvey get a spot just like Harvey wasn’t going to help him.
Harvey screams that he doesn’t want shit from him and calls him a ”rat.”
Flashback: Mike tries to talk to Claire but she freaks out on him and calls him a sociopath
for lying. Claire tells Mike that the only thing that she hates more than a guy who doesn’t have
his life together — is a guy that lies about having his life together — and then she storms off.
Harvey, Mike, and Louis are on the road again. They stop at a gas station and Harvey heads
inside to pay. Louis and Mike begin fighting, and Louis jumps on top of him and begins choking
him. He screams at Mike that he ”ruined his life and his firm.” Harvey comes outside and breaks
up the fight, and then Louis begins [Link] and Louis finally talk — Mike apologizes for
lying to him but insists that he is not a con man. Going to law school is the only thing that he
ever lied to Louis about. They discuss what Louis said about Mike lying about being an orphan.

156

they make amends.

Flashback: Mike is depressed that Claire dumped him. Trevor reassures him that there are
”plenty more fish in the sea.” Mike doesn’t want to hear it, he doesn’t think that he will ever meet
another girl like Claire.
At the office Jessica finds Donna pacing in her office and demands to know what is wrong.
Donna informs Jessica that she thinks that she is making a mistake by not standing up for
Hartman, Jessica explains that Hartman tested Harvey and he chose his best interest over the
firm’s best interest. Jessica assures Donna that ”some day Harvey’s day will come.”
Flashback: Mike visits his Grammy and tells her that he is moving in to Trevor’s apartment
with him, even though she forbid him from doing so. His Grammy says she will support his
decision, but she doesn’t like it.
Harvey, Mike, and Louis finally arrive at Kiernan. Harvey reveals that he is giving 50% of
Kiernan to Louis and 50% of Kiernan to Mike, so they will have to work together. He leaves them
at the office and says he will find his own ride back, Louis and Mike head inside together, and

Summary: When Mike takes a humanitarian case with the potential to jeopardize
firm business, Harvey must decide how much to rein in his associate.

Tonight’s episode kicks off with Mike get-

ting dressed for work — he asks Rachel
for advice on his tie. She announces she
would ”rather tie him up with it” and they
fall in to bed together. Rachel admits that
she feels like a weight had been lifted
off their chests ever since he made up
with Louis. The phone rings and inter-
rupts them, Mike is shocked when Pro-
fessor Gerard is on the other end and
orders him to meet him right now. Mike
rushes to meet up with Gerard, he tells
Mike that he received a phone call from
an employee at the railroad — the em-
ployee told him that he ”knows the real
reason for the crash.” Gerard wants Mike to get Harvey to look in to it, he reveals that he knows
Mike didn’t go to law school.
At the office, Jeff asks Jessica to sign off on his vacation time to go to Paris. He announces
that he is taking Jessica with him, and Harvey has already agreed to cover her workload while
they are gone. Jessica is a little put off, she tells him that she will think about it. Jeff teases her
no to take too long or else he will find someone else to take to France with him.
Mike arrives at work, and informs Harvey that he is taking Gerard’s case for him. Harvey
tells him that corporations don’t appreciate shakedowns, and he needs to refer him to a different
firm. Mike informs Harvey that he knows Gerard knows his secret, and he is taking the case
regardless of what he says. He knows innocent people were killed in the crash — and if it was a
cover up, he wants to get to the bottom of the real reason behind the crash. Jessica visits Harvey,
and wants to know why he agreed to cover for her while she is on vacation. Harvey insists that it
was innocent, and he thinks that she deserves a vacation. He doesn’t want Jessica to make the
same mistake that he made for Scotty.
Louis arrives at the office, and he is livid when he walks past the receptionist and she is an-
swering the phone saying ”Pearson & Specter” instead of ”Pearson, Specter, Litt.” Rachel informs
Louis that it isn’t that serious and it is standard procedure for receptionists to shorten the name
of the firm when they are answering the phone. Rachel changes the subject and thanks Louis for

159
 Suits Episode Guide

forgiving Mike — it means a lot to her. Louis can’t concentrate though, he is still worried about
the receptionist, Rachel encourages him to ”just let it go.”
Donna tells Harvey that she set up a meeting for him with Jeffrey Dunder, he heard that they
are taking a ”whistle blower case” and he wants them to drop it. Harvey tells Donna not to worry
about it and says that he will take care of Dunder. Meanwhile, Mike is meeting with the employee
that called Gerard. The employee says that the crash occurred because all of the heat-sensors on
the train failed — and he had warned the bosses that the sensors were all bad, but they ignored
him. The employee informs Mike that he is not the only guy in the company that knew about the
sensors, he gives Mike a memo and an email confirming that the powers that be already knew
about the faulty sensors and ignored them.
Mike shows Harvey the proof that the railway covered up the faulty heat-sensors and it was
their fault the train cashed. He tells Harvey that he is asking for $40 Million, and for the railway
to publicly take responsibility and accept what they did. Harvey tells Mike that he is making a
mistake and he could get ten times that if he seals the case. Mike orders Harvey to stay out of his
case, and says that dozens of innocent people died and the railway needs to take responsibility,
he refuses to let them just sweep it under the rug.
Donna intercepts Harvey in his office and tries to stop him from crashing Mike’s meeting,
she says it is time for him to let Mike be his own man. Harvey argues that he is going to take
the whole firm down with him because he is identifying the Railways with his parents’ accident.
Meanwhile, Louis is still throwing a fit over the receptionist not saying his name when he answers
the phone. He orders Rachel to fire the receptionist Elise. Rachel reveals that she can’t fire Elise,
because Elise says that Louis is stalking her and calls her phone 50 times a day.
Louis heads to Jessica’s office and rants that he needs respect as a partner and they have
to fire all of the support staff because they don’t say his name when they answer the phone. He
thinks that they have been specifically ordered not to say his name, and he thinks they were paid
off. Jessica says that Louis is being insane, and she will get them to say his name. Afterwards
Jessica heads to Jeff’s office and tells him that she knows he paid off the receptionists. She
wants Jeff to bury the hatchet, he rants that he hates Louis for blackmailing Jessica.
Mike heads to his meeting with the railway’s lawyer, she says that they aren’t admitting
anything or paying anything. She promotes a test proving that the railway tested the heat sensors
and they were working properly. Apparently the employee Joe Henderson is a pro at shaking
down companies, she shows Mike copies of his last four lawsuits. Mike heads to the shop where
Joe works and is screaming at him, Joe argues that his lawsuits were supposed to be sealed. Joe
sneers that what he told Mike is true. Mike produces the report that the lawyer gave him on the
sensors, and Joe says that it is ”bullshit.” Mike snaps that he has no credibility left and storms
out.
Jeff stops by Louis’s office, Louis thinks that he is going to hit him. Instead Jeff picks up the
phone and calls the front desk, the receptionist answers and says Louis’s name. Louis realizes
that Jeff is the one that paid them off. Jeff lies and tells Louis that he respects him and shakes
his hand congratulates him, he even agrees to get drinks later with Louis.
Rachel stops by the library where Mike has been working for seven hours. She argues that
he needs a break, Mike can’t stop working because he doesn’t want Harvey to find out that he
screwed up and Joe Henderson was just shaking down the company. Rachel warns him that
he should tell Harvey before he hears it from someone else. Meanwhile upstairs Jessica is in
Harvey’s office, she wants him to put the breaks on Mike’s ”whistle-blowing case.” Harvey refuses
and says that he trusts Mike and she should too.
Later that night Mike stops Harvey’s apartment and fills him in on the case, he confesses that
Joe made four other lawsuits against big companies in the last six years. Harvey is furious and
says he is ”pulling the plug.” Mike rants that Joe is telling the truth and he believes him. He begs
Harvey to give him a chance — Harvey caves and gives him 24 hours.
Donna checks in on Mike at the office the next day and he has been up all night working on
the case. He fills Donna in on the details, and confesses that he is stuck. He needs a subpoena
to find the paper trail proving that the railroad fized the sensors after the accident. Mike kicks
Donna out of his office and says that if she can’t help him, then she needs to get out so that he
can work. Donna goes to the rail way office and lies to the receptionist and says she is with the
National Transportation Safety Board, the receptionist gives her copies of their last six months
worth of maintenance orders. She gives the papers to Mike, but he argues that he can’t use them

160
 Suits Episode Guide

because she obtained them illegally and it is inadmissible in court. Donna tells Mike that it is
his job to figure out how he can use them.
Jeff visits Jessica in her office, and she is thrilled that Jeff made amends with Louis. She
thanks him for patching things up. Jeff tells her that he would do anything for ”the woman that
he loves,” and walks out leaving Jessica shocked.
Mike shows Harvey the documents that he got illegally proving that Liberty Rail lied and they
are responsible for the crash. Harvey agrees to help Mike catch them lying in a deposition, and
orders Donna to call Liberty Rail and set up the meeting. Harvey and Mike meet up with the
Liberty Rail lawyer, they question MCentire about when the heat sensors were repaired. He says
that they replaced them two years ago, and they weren’t set to be repaired for another three
years. Harvey reveals that he knows they just replaced them six months ago and shows him the
work orders. The lawyer kicks them out and says that she needs to speak to her client, before
Harvey and Mike leave Harvey orders the lawyer to cut a check and issue a public apology.
That night Jeff heads out to drinks with Louis, they bond and gossip about Jessica and how
she drinks Miller Lite when she is watching football. Jeff says that he almost feels bad about
paying the receptionists to not say his name, Louis tells him there is no need to apologize — it
was a good prank. Harvey stops by Jessica’s office and boasts about taking down Liberty Rail.
Jessica interrupts him, she says that she knows he told Scotty about Mike Ross — and she needs
to know how he did it because she wants to tell Jeff the truth too. Harvey can tell that Jeff just
told Jessica he loved her. Rachel pays Donna a visit before she leaves work and thanks her for
saving Mike’s case — she tells Donna that she is a super hero.
Harvey gets a phone call from Liberty Rail, she asks him out for drinks and he thinks she is
coming on to him. He arrives and she shows him a video of Donna illegally getting the documents,

Mike visits Harvey and tells him that Joe was paid off by Liberty Rail and backed out of the
lawsuit. Harvey says he has bigger problems, and reveals that Donna is going to be facing federal
charges. Harvey lectures Mike for ”risking Donna” and she is different from everyone else. Mike
begins brainstorming, he thinks they can get Donna out of the charges because Evan isn’t going
to admit in court that the documents she stole could cost them millions of dollars and prove that
Liberty Rail committed a crime. Harvey tells Mike to go find another plaintiff, he is not letting
Evan and Liberty Rail get away with this.
Harvey heads to the DA’s office the next morning and argues with the judge and Evan, since
Evan can’t disclose the value of the papers that Donna stole. At the office Donna finds Louis in
the file room and reveals to him that Harvey ”took care of the charges.” Louis is thrilled that she
isn’t going to prison and hugs her to congratulate her.
Mike is in his office trying to find another plaintiff to file the lawsuit, everyone he is calling
is hanging up on him because Liberty Rail paid them all off. Rachel stops by his office, she tells
him that he needs to find a plaintiff that has ”nothing left to lose.” She shows him a name on the
list and says that he is the one that has ”nothing left to lose.”
Donna fawns over Harvey in his office and thanks him for helping her. Terrence stops by the
office and says that he has ”decided to make history” and is charging Donna with fraud based on
intent. Harvey argues that the DA office has never charged anyone with intent. Terrence laughs
that Donna’s arraignment is tomorrow and she is about to be convicted — he is not offering her
a deal. Terrence leaves and Harvey tells Donna that ”intent to commit fraud is a bullshit charge.”
Louis overhears and he is furious, he snaps at Harvey that he is supposed to be protecting
Donna. Louis says that he is taking over, because the only reason the DA is crucifying Donna is
because Harvey is his lawyer. Donna tells Louis that she doesn’t want his help and crushes him,
kicking him out of the office.
Mike and Rachel visit Duorsky, the engineer that was driving the train when it crashed. He
doesn’t remember the details of the crash, and thinks that he killed innocent people. He tried
to kick Rachel and Mike off form his property and says that he already can’t get another job
because of what happened. Mike promises Duorsky that if he testifies for them, his family will be
set up for life.
Donna and Harvey head to court and Donna pleads not guilty for intent to commit fraud.
After the hearing is over, Harvey corners Terrence and tries to get him to plead the charges down
to a misdemeanor. Terrence won’t budge, he tells Harvey that he is ”going to have to find himself
a new secretary.”

Jessica visits Jeff in his office, she says it is not fair for him to have shut the door in her face
and he didn’t give her a chance to explain herself. Jeff doesn’t want to hear anything she has to
say, because she lied to him once and he has no reason to believe her. Jessica professes her love
for him, and says that she is refusing to give up on them. She doesn’t want Jeff to leave the firm,
and she doesn’t want him to end their relationship.
Later that night Donna stops by Harvey’s office, she says that Louis is right — and he should
be handling her case. Harvey is insulted, Donna explains that he is just ”pouring gas on the fire”
and there is a good chance that she could go to prison. Donna screams that ”this is her life.”
Harvey reassures Donna that the thought of her going to prison ”makes him want to drop to his
knees.” He tells Donna that if she needs a hug she needs to go see Louis, and if she wants Harvey
to get her out of this — she needs to leave him alone and let him do his job.
Harvey goes to Mike’s office and tells him that they are back to trading the case for Donna,
now that Mike has a plaintiff they are going to use it to get Evan to drop the charges. Harvey
storms out of the office and heads to Joe’s apartment — he shouts at Joe that someone he cares
about is about to go to prison because he ”took a payout.”
The next morning Harvey and Mike go to Evan’s office, they tell her that they have a case
against Liberty Rail again and they have a new plaintiff. Harvey says that Joe told them on the
record that Evan paid him off, and now they paid Joe more. Harvey tells Evan that she needs to
get her secretary at Liberty Rail to change her tune against Donna, and they will drop the case.
Evan scoffs that they are willing to let Liberty Rail get away with murder just to save Harvey’s
secretary.
That night Harvey goes to Donna’s apartment for drinks to celebrate her charges being
dropped. She thanks him again for fixing the mess that she made, and for not bringing it up
all night. Harvey reminds Donna that he promised her once he would never let anything happen
to her — and he won’t, he doesn’t want Donna to ever feel scared like that again. They both
apologize for doubting each other. Harvey confesses, ”Whenever someone else loses faith in me it
doesn’t matter, but with you it is different.” Harvey leaves and Donna demand to know why, he
snaps ”You know I love you Donna” and leaves.

Summary: Cahill needs help from Harvey in order to make his case against
Woodall and Forstman; Rachel and Mike deal with their different rela-
tionships with Harvey; and Donna helps Louis with a crisis.

Tonight’s episode kicks off with Harvey

leaving Donna’s house after telling her
that he loved her, he reminisces about
the first time he met Donna in a bar
and she introduced herself to him. Har-
vey was shocked that Donna knows ev-
erything about him — and that he just
won his first trial. She tells Harvey to buy
her a drink and join her.
Harvey arrives at the office late at
night — he finds Cahill sitting in the
lobby waiting for him. He tells Harvey
that he can’t find the money, Harvey
snaps that they handed him Woodall on
a silver platter. Cahill explains that if he
doesn’t find the money in five days the SCC is going to shut him down and he needs his help.
Harvey heads to Mike’s house and tells him and Rachel that Cahill lost the money. He tells them
that somewhere there is someone that Woodall cares about very much — and that is where the
money is. Harvey tells Rachel and Mike to ”figure out a way to get this done” and storms out.
The next morning Donna arrives at the office — she finds a note from Louis on her desk saying
that he needs her. She visits Louis in his office and he says that his secretary Norma died that
morning. Louis rants that she ”left him high and dry just like she always did.” Apparently she
left her estate and will for Louis to take care of and requested that he got her cremated and kept
her urn in his office with him.
Flashback: at the bar where Harvey is meeting Donna for the first time, a mysterious man
buys him a drink. Forseman says that he wants to hire Harvey to work for him, Harvey snaps
that he doesn’t need a job and he will be making ”half a million a year in no time.”
At the office Rachel is determined to find out where Forseman stashed Woodall’s money. Mike
and Rachel realize that the reason that Harvey is so weird about Forseman is because he must
have played Harvey in the past or used someone that Harvey cared about.
Flashback: Harvey meets with his little brother Marcus — he tells Harvey that he wants to
open a restaurant and he needs $150,000. Harvey tells him that he doesn’t have that kind of
cash and the restaurant idea is not going to work. Marcus snaps that he will just get the money

from their mother — and Harvey tells him ”don’t you dare.” Harvey visits Jessica and tries to
get the cash but she tells him he can’t come back. He threatens her and says that he got a job
offer from Forseman and if she can’t hire him, then he will take Forseman’s offer so that he can
loan his brother the money. Jessica warns him that his brother Marcus has a problem and if he
needs money it is because he is in to something too deep — and if Harvey takes the offer form
Forseman he will regret it.
Harvey corners Woodall in the supermarket, and tells him that he is going to find the money
that Cahill can’t find. He tells Woodall that he can get him a deal if he rolls over on Forseman,
Harvey gives him his card and tells him to call him and he will represent him because Cahill is
closing in on him. Meanwhile in the office Mike and Rachel have created a diagram of all of the
possible people that could have hidden the money for Woodall. Rachel convinces Mike to talk to
Harvey — she thinks that they should go after Forseman for what he did to Harvey and Marcus
12 years ago.
Donna stops by Harvey’s office and tells him that she has been helping Louis all day because
Norma died. Donna snaps that they need to talk about what happened last night — she hasn’t
forgotten that he told her he loved her. Harvey says that he only told her that to make her feel
better and Donna growls that she doesn’t need his pity and storms out.
Flashback: Harvey visits Forseman at his house, he explains that he wants to talk about the
job offer. His brother Marcus needs $150,000 to open a restaurant — and it is Marcus’s second
chance at getting his life together because he had a gambling problem, and Harvey is the reason
for it.
Louis heads to the funeral home and calls Donna for back-up. He shouts that the funeral
home is trying to rob him and he starts yelling that Donna never cared about him, all she cares
about is her sister and Murder She Wrote. Donna tries to reason with him that she isn’t Norma,
and comforts him and tells him everything will be okay — Louis breaks down and cries that
”Norma left him for good.”
Mike and Rachel visit Harvey in his office and tell him that they still haven’t found the hidden
money. Rachel tells Harvey it is time for him to come after Forseman for what he did 12 years
ago. Harvey shouts that he can’t go after Forseman for that, because his brother Marcus will get
dragged in to it as well. He tells Rachel and Mike that he gave them a job to do and they need to
go do it.
Cahill corners Harvey and demands to know why Harvey visited Woodall in the supermarket.
He complained that Cahill sent Harvey to intimidate him and now he is filing harassment charges
against him. Harvey explains that he was just trying to get some information — Cahill snaps that
he needs to go ”get him something he can use” or else Woodall will keep his job and go after Louis.
Harvey stops by Jessica’s office and says that they still have nothing on Forseman, but he
thinks that he can help Cahill nab Forseman for what happened with Marcus 12 years ago.
Harvey tells Jessica that he needs her to ”help him get his mind right” and figure out what to do.
Jessica says she can’t help him get his mind right, because her mind is not right and she just
finished scraping Jeff’s name off his office door.
Donna visits Louis in his office, and he has Norma’s urn and ashes with him just like she
asked. Donna tells Louis that he needs to start looking for a new secretary — he wants Donna to
leave Harvey and work for him. Donna tells him that isn’t an option and she can’t leave Harvey,
but she offers to set up a memorial for Norma as her last official act as his substitute secretary.
Rachel and Mike think they may know where Woodall has hidden his money — they visit a
nursing home and ask for Maryann McGraff — it’s Woodall’s first wife, they were only married
for six months. The nurse on staff says that she has been living there for a year and a half, and
she has advanced Alzheimer’s disease and they won’t be able to get any information out of her.
They head back to the office and Rachel fills Harvey in, Woodall used the money from Forseman
to pay for her care in cash — for several years in advance.
Flashback: Harvey storms in to Forseman’s house and shouts that he is a ”son of a bitch.”
He made an inside trade based on information that Harvey mentioned to him about Dupont, and
he made millions of dollars off from it. Harvey says that he isn’t working for Forseman and he is
going to prosecute him for inside trading. Forseman tells him that Marcus just spent $150,000
of the money he made on the inside trade so if Harvey prosecutes him, he will have to turn in
himself and his brother Marcus too.
Harvey tracks down Woodall and tells him that he knows about Maryann and the jig is up.

168
 Suits Episode Guide

Harvey tells Woodall that the reason he knew to look for Maryann is because he knows how
Forseman works — he goes after the people that we care about, just like he did to his brother
Marcus. Woodall snaps that Harvey doesn’t have proof, and Harvey warns him that he is going
to find it and if Woodall doesn’t turn over on Forseman, then he will take him down with him.
It’s time for Norma’s memorial, Louis gives a speech about how much he hated Norma’s clogs,
and her mustache, and her annoying story about Abe Vigoda. He cries that he isn’t going to
let another minute pass by without letting Norma know how much she meant to him and how
much he loved her. Jessica thanks Louis for the lovely ceremony, and everyone files out of his
office. Donna stays behind and tells Louis how beautiful his speech was. Louis thanks Donna for
everything she has done for him, and tells her that Harvey has ”no idea how lucky he is to have
her” and then he kisses her on the cheek.
Forseman visits Harvey in his office and tells him that he knows Harvey has been trying to
get Woodall to turn him in. He taunts Harvey that it ”isn’t his fault he can’t beat him.” Forseman
threatens Harvey and tells him that if he brings him down — he will bury him for the inside stock
sharing 12 years ago, along with his little brother. Cahill enters the office, and Harvey reveals
that he has been wearing a wire and he got Forseman’s entire conversation on tape. It’s the end
of the line for Forseman, Cahill and his men take him away.
Mike heads home from the office and Rachel is waiting for him, she has a romantic dinner
and candles set up for him — she says they need to celebrate their win and finding the money.
Mike tells Rachel that she ”is the most amazing woman he has ever met.” He tells her that he
called her father and got permission and get Grammy’s ring cleaned — he gets down on one knee
and proposes to Rachel and asks her to marry him. He professes his love to her, and she says
”yes.”
Harvey sits in his dark office and calls his brother Marcus — he says he just wanted to check
in and he misses him. Marcus reassures him that everything is great and the kids are great and
tells him that he loves him. They hang up and Donna comes in to Harvey’s office. He reassures
her that he doesn’t pity her — and he thinks she is ”one of the most amazing women he has ever
met.” Donna tells him that she is leaving him, and she can’t work with him any more... she is
going to work for Louis. Harvey begs her not to, she says ”I love you Harvey” and walks out of his
office.

Summary: Harvey’s work is impacted by changes around the office; and Donna
adjusts to working for Louis, who believes she’s certain to return to
Harvey. In other events, Mike and Rachel must decide how and when
to share their big news; and an up-and-coming partner confronts Jes-
sica about Harvey’s way of doing business.

Donna finally left Harvey after ten+ years

of service at the firm and now that their
working relationship, along with their
friendship, is officially over, well, it ap-
pears that Donna meant more to Harvey
than he initially thought.
Harvey has had to rewind back to six
weeks ago when Donna first quite. Har-
vey is currently in therapy. And his doc-
tor wants to discuss what led him to her
couch.
So, in a series of flashbacks, we see
how everything unfolded between Donna
and Harvey. And it was actual Harvey that closed the door on something that could have been
good for him.
Earlier, after Harvey had told her he loved her, Donna knew they couldn’t just go on as if
nothing had happened. And if Harvey wasn’t up to changing things on his end, then Donna felt
like she had to be one to make the next move. Therefore, she handed in her resignation.
And to be fair, Donna was going to work out her two weeks’ notice but Harvey told her to go.
Just go. Apparently, he didn’t want to bother with the two weeks if she still felt like she was going
to be leaving by the end of it.
Donna took Harvey at his word and she immediately went to go work for Louis. Over the years,
Louis has approached countless times about possibly working for him yet the answer had always
been no. Donna had been Harvey’s Girl Friday and for a while it looked like she was never going
to leave him.
But, unfortunately, a line was crossed. And, afterwards, it was up to Mike and Rachel to pick
up the pieces.
Rachel decided to take a few days off of school in order to fill in for Donna with Harvey. Mike
didn’t want her to make such a sacrifice, but Rachel felt like they should cut him some slack.
So, for his part, Mike tried to keep Harvey in a good mood.
After his engagement announcement failed to warrant a response, Mike then tried to help
Harvey in saving a client of theirs.

173
 Suits Episode Guide

It seems their client was soon going to be forced to declare bankruptcy, so Harvey made it his
personal mission to not only save their client’s business but also make it profitable once again.
And, in order to do that, Harvey needed everyone to be on point, including his team of two —
Mike and Rachel. But for some reason Rachel later dropped the ball.
She forget to add one creditor to a very crucial list they needed to fight the bankruptcy. So
Harvey’s plan, which relied on undermining the creditors’ position, could all backfire. Rachel
didn’t just make a mistake. She nearly lost the firm 12 million dollars in revenue.
Now, while that’s not like her in the least, it technically wasn’t Rachel’s job to do secretarial
work. So Mike wanted to cut her some leeway. And when Harvey looked like he was going to
fight him on that — Mike finally brought up the real reason why there was a problem with the
paperwork.
Mike asked Harvey right out about why he hasn’t hired a new assistant yet.
Harvey is under the impression that Donna will eventually come, but Mike and Rachel know
better. They’ve seen for themselves how serious Donna is and, as his friends, they know that
Harvey should give up hope.
So with the help of his doctor, Harvey gave himself a firm kick and he got back to work. He
resolved that issue with his client and he did what he was supposed to do when Mike said he
was engaged. He took his friend to the Nets game.
Front row tickets and they’ll most likely be sitting next to Jay-Z and Beyoncé.
Meanwhile, Donna was slowly working on gaining Louis’s trust. He was apprehensive about
taking her on with everything that’s happened with Mike. But Donna promise she wouldn’t leave
him and she was there to constantly reassure him.

Production Code: S502
Summary: Harvey searches for a replacement for Donna; Mike takes on a case
as a favor; Rachel’s father offers advice about Rachel’s engagement
to Mike; Louis is embroiled in surprising money matters; and Jack
confronts Jessica about Harvey.

Harvey is currently going through a cri-

sis. Donna left him and he’s still strug-
gling to come to terms with that. But
while he’s learning how to move on with
his life, courtesy of his newest therapist,
a senior partner at the firm has come to
see Harvey’s loss as their gain.
Jack Soloff has been saying things
around the office. Initially, he dripped
poison into Jessica’s ear about how reck-
less Harvey could be. Yet, when he failed
to turn his boss against her golden
boy, he then decided to weaken Harvey’s
stance at the firm using his newest position.
Unfortunately, Jack has recently been named as the new head of the Compensation Commit-
tee at the firm. And with his first ordinance on the job, he wants to find a way to cut into Harvey’s
paycheck. A paycheck, mind you, that is well rewarded.
Harvey has brought millions to the firm. So the fact that he just happened to be making more
based on compensation shouldn’t actually be a factor. And Louis, another named partner, sided
with Harvey on this matter.
Jack had tried to enlist his help, but, at the final moment, Louis chose to double-cross him
and side with Harvey. It seems he wanted to give Harvey this as a way to make amends for the
whole Donna thing. But sadly, this like many things, ended up blowing up in Louis’s face.
Harvey didn’t want help and, for him, it was insulting for Louis to even believe he needed it.
Both men got into what Jessica called a pissing contest and Harvey told Louis that he’s the
one that’s still paying Donna’s paycheck. Technically, Harvey brought Donna to come work with
him and so he was the one that had to pay her back when he was still an associate. Later, he got
promotion, then so did she.
And now Donna is the highest paid secretary at the firm. Yet her new boss doesn’t know how
to keep her paying her at her own rate much less the 2 percent increase she was guaranteed to
come work for him.

175
 Suits Episode Guide

Louis did something silly. After he got into that fight with Harvey and heard about Donna,
he then decided to side with Jack and cut off some of Harvey’s case flow. And if he succeeds
then not only will his own paycheck be fatter come payroll but he surprisingly he’ll have enough
money to pay Donna.
However, Jack had already tried bringing it up in a meeting and that plan failed. Mainly
because of Louis’s input earlier. So if Louis wanted the job done right then he had to come up
with his own plan of convincing the board.
And he did come up with a plan.
Louis was going to go back to the partners and get them to sign off on cutting Harvey’s
paycheck but first he had to gain allies. And the only way he could do that was to show them
how much Harvey was actually making at the firm. Though such a thing is very risky and could
have potentially gotten him fired.
But Louis came up with a safeguard against that. He found a way to reveal Harvey’s paycheck
without getting his hands dirty.
Later, Donna attempted to intervene. Yet Louis shut her down. He said he had everything
under control and that she knew who he was when she came to work for him.
And, well, Louis made a mistake. Because he went ahead with his plan on revealing Harvey’s
paycheck and right afterwards Harvey apologized to him. Harvey it seems had received a wakeup
call and he realized how unfair he’s been. So he went to Louis in effort to make amends. But by
then it was too late.
The whole firm knew about Harvey and it doesn’t take a genius to trace a leak.
Harvey’s stance at the firm was holding on by a single thread and his protege was completely
unaware of what was going on. Mike had taken on a case as a favor to a friend and Jessica had
shut him down. She didn’t want to fund a case the firm was barely going to be making a profit
from. And so Mike was busying running around the city looking for funding.
And if it wasn’t his case then it was Rachel and her dad. Rachel’s father had drawn a prenup
for her and Mike. He said he just wanted to make sure that she was safe. Though Rachel was do
everything in her power not sign it.
Now whether that was her rebelling against her father or suddenly sprouting cold feet is kind
of up in the air. But Mike did talk her father into looking at this case he took for Jimmy.

Summary: Harvey brings in star power to help with his ongoing conflict with Jack;
and Mike adds Robert Zane as co-counsel in a case. In other events,
Jessica mediates between Mike and Zane; and gives Rachel an un-
usual assignment.

Rachel’s father, Robert Zane, is a big a

name, particularly among lawyers, and
when Mike willing attached himself to it
then there was just no way Jessica could
tell him to back off from a case that
wouldn’t be bringing in any money.
On tonight’s episode, there appears
to be a power struggle. Jessica couldn’t
turn someone like Robert away because
it would have then made her look weak.
She had to agree to allow Mike to work
with him.
However, there were some stipulations
to this agreement. Jessica told Robert
that Mike was to be treated as more than
an associate. The kid was using her name and her firm. So throughout the duration of the guys’
case (that one she never actually agreed to) Mike was to be treated as an equal partner.
Which at any other time, Mike could have bragged about. But lately Harvey hasn’t been in the
mood to talk. And when he did finally reach out to his protégé, he took what Mike was doing as
a personal betrayal.
Earlier, Harvey was told to make nice. Jessica basically demanded that he find some way to
end this feud with both Jack and Louis. Because it was simply bad for business.
Though, thankfully, Harvey no longer has to worry about Louis. It seems the other man had
a change of heart after he did what he did. And now Louis actually feels really bad. So Louis
dropped the vendetta but, for Jack, this is still personal.
And Jessica told Harvey that she didn’t want to have clean up at the office.
Harvey played nice guy for about a minute. He tried to get Jack courtside tickets and thought
maybe they could bury the hatchet if he were also able to introduce the other man to Charles
Barkley. The information he received regarding Jack’s interest was deliberately misleading. In
fact, it was wrong. And Jack ended up laughing in his face when he made it clear that he didn’t
care about basketball.

177
 Suits Episode Guide

But no one laughs at Harvey. And later his assistant helped him come up with a plan. They
found out that Jack’s biggest ally was the real Charles Barkley’s fan and they used this info to
steal Jack’s client from right underneath him.
Jack was of course furious when he found out. But if he was looking for tea and sympathy
with Jessica then he didn’t find. Jessica knows what he and Louis did so she’s not standing by
either of them if a small disagreement turns into open warfare.
Hence Jack got desperate. He threatened Jessica and told her that most of the partners were
in his pocket anyway and she in turn took what he said as a challenge to her position. So Jack
went from a small fight with Harvey to a full-blown confrontation with Jessica.
And so then he needed help.
Jack tracked down Louis and, in exchange for not telling anyone what Louis did with Harvey’s
old paychecks, Louis had to help him to get pass certain bylaws.
Jack wanted to take away all of Harvey’s special compensation, so he had Louis do some
more dirty dealing and found a way to work outside company rules. However, after he confronted
Harvey, Harvey made it known that he would steal each and every one of Jack’s clients.
And while this wasn’t true at the time, Harvey eventually got Mike to make it look as if he
already done so. Mike had seen Harvey in a middle of a panic attack for himself. Thus he knew
he couldn’t abandon him when he was so clearly needed.
Mike did a favor for Harvey and that made him slightly late for court. But luckily Mike still
managed to make a good impression on his future father-in-law.
They hit a few bumps though nothing to make Rachel worry.
And as for Harvey, he returned to therapy. He stopped going once he felt like he had everything
under control but as it turns out he needed actual help. So Harvey found his old therapist and
he told her that he was going to start following up on her suggestions.

Summary: Harvey steps outside his comfort zone to help a client who has a special
tie to the firm; Mike and Zane work their class-action case together,
but Mike discovers they have different ideas of what a win is; and
Donna advises Louis on how to settle a feud.

Its personal between Louis and Harvey.

At first their petty arguments were just
for fun but, after the last big bust up of
theirs, these two have now gotten to a
point where they can no longer even claim
to be friends. So when Louis knew he had
to go to Harvey and ask for a favor — he
pretty much knew he was screwed.
See Louis’s sister Esther is going
through a divorce. Only it’s not just any
divorce. It’s a messy one with Esther’s 50
million dollar company on the line.
Thus Esther said she didn’t want her
brother to represent her. Going as far to explain to Louis that she felt like he would be too
emotionally attached to the case. And that it would be better if another lawyer, such as the
famous Harvey Specter, would represent her in court.
So ultimately Louis had to go crawling to Harvey!
Donna had told him about how Harvey felt in regards to family. So later when Louis first
approach to get Harvey to take the case failed — he plead with Harvey to do this because it was
family. Esther it seems had never asked her brother for anything before so this time Louis doesn’t
want to let her down.
However, once Harvey did take the case then it became slightly uncomfortable for everyone.
Bottom line is Esther doesn’t look anything like her brother. In fact she’s by far the more attrac-
tive sibling. And long before he found out who she was, Harvey flirted with her.
And Esther flirted back.
There is chemistry there and even Rachel saw it for herself. So there’s no way these two can
continue working with each other without having some kind of flare up. And Louis for one is
definitely worried about how Harvey will take his revenge.
Though Harvey isn’t that bad of a guy. He found out that Esther had left her husband because
he had cheated on her and so he then worked to ensure her dirt bag of a husband wasn’t going
to get 50 percent of the company. So if anything he did exactly what Louis would have done.
And if there was anyone that was being irrational then it would have to be Mike. Mike and
Robert Zane received a well off offer for their clients but Mike wanted to turn it down. He said
the clients deserved more than 70 grand a person.

So Robert ended up going over Mike’s head and getting Jessica’s assistance in order for them
to take the agreement. And Mike just couldn’t deal with that. He kept on chipping away at the
case until eventually he found evidence of Robert playing dirty.
Robert failed to mention that clients of his recently bought into the insurance company they
were suing and if Robert knew about this then he could be in trouble for stock manipulation.
And Mike was actually willing to pursue this, even if meant landing Robert in hot water, right
up until he spoke to Rachel. Rachel said an attack on her father was an attack on her. So Mike
found a way to drop it with Robert and simply accept the original plea agreement.
It’s what his clients wanted all along and Jessica also threw in an added bonus that would
potentially get Robert off the hook for inside trading.
Thus Mike’s plan to grow closer with his future father-in-law worked out alright. But Rachel
is still suffering from cold feet about an actual future with Mike. So there’s a chance these two
aren’t going to be walking down the aisle.
And luckily for Louis, Harvey denied his attraction to Esther in the end. It seems like he knew
better than to make their feud too personal.

Summary: Harvey faces old rival Travis Tanner, who claims to be a changed man,
in a case; and Harvey’s sessions with Agard reveal the influence his
past has on his present. In other events, Jessica tasks Louis to fix
things with Harvey, but the plan may make an enemy of Jack.

Lately Harvey hasn’t been doing so well.

Like yeah he’s gotten better and have had
fewer panic attacks since therapy but all
the same he’s kind of been a hot mess
without Donna. And that was the one
thing his enemies all eventually saw for
themselves.
Hence these last few episodes have
been a bit of an open season on Harvey
and Mike for one has grown considerably
worried about how his friend is handling
all of it.
Yet on tonight’s all new episode of
”Suits” Mike was convinced into overlook-
ing his friend’s sorry mental state in or-
der to go in with him on a new and most
likely trying case. For if there was one person they both wanted to put the screws in more than
anything then it would be Travis Tanner. Travis is an even shadier lawyer than they could ever
be.
Plus finally sticking to it to Travis was personal for Harvey. The last time Harvey had to face
off with him, the other man threw his mother’s infidelity back into his face just to provoke him.
So this time around Harvey just wants the win.
He wants to know he had the last word and he wants to rub what he feels is an assured victory
in Travis’s face. However his therapist, once she found out what he was doing, didn’t believe he
should pursue this case. In fact she though it was unhealthy of him.
Harvey’s client was being sued for sexual harassment and the guys felt like Travis had put
his client up to it. See, this woman was going to drag a married man through the mud just to get
some cash out of it. And Harvey ended up feeling so strongly about this case because he didn’t
want Travis to break up a man’s family.
So that in addition to what the therapist had heard earlier, as in that dream of Harvey’s where
he finds Travis in bed with a woman and though Harvey denies it was Donna — she knows it
was Dona, made the doctor question Harvey’s involvement in this case.

181
 Suits Episode Guide

Dr. Agrard felt like this case had become too personal for Harvey and she was trying to get
him see that for himself when Mike turned out to be the one to disillusion his friend. As with any
other case, it was up to Mike to do the grunt work and throughout his investigation he found
something. He found out that Tanner wasn’t the one that was pushing his client to make things
ugly. It was actually the client that was acting very underhanded.
Meaning Tanner wasn’t the enemy this time and Harvey had to take off his blinders. But
that’s the thing. Harvey wasn’t ready to see the truth. He wanted Tanner to be the bad guy and
then he wanted to destroy Tanner.
And because he was so fixated on this, he went ahead with demolishing Tanner’s client when
Mike found out she had a good cause to pursue a case.
The young woman in question had wanted to leave her job and start her own company but
when her boss found out he then made it his mission to destroy her dream. And keep her from
setting up shop. So although what she didn’t wasn’t right, any sane person could see that she
now had nothing to lose.
But, again with the fixation, Harvey was out of line.
He attacked Tanner when the other man once again started to make jabs about his life. And
he was then forced by Mike to walk away before things escalated. So, with him out of commission,
Mike had to step up.
He met with Tanner and he asked him to prove he’s changed. And then, and only then, will
Harvey possibly consider taking the deal.
And like Tanner, it was time for Louis to be a man about it as well. Louis had tried to fix his
earlier mistake of cutting Harvey’s commission by performing another shady trick. Only this time
it did not work in his favor and truthfully it ended up backfiring on him because he was stupid
enough to team up with Jack again.
So Louis did what he should have and he told Jessica it was him that released Harvey’s
paycheck to the commission committee. And she then used that information into forcing Jack to
back down else both he and Louis were going to be fired.
No surprise, Jack chose to keep his job even if it meant Jessica now owned him.
But the deal Mike made was for Tanner to remove himself from the case. Thereby forcing
Harvey to see what was happening for what it really was instead of creating a vendetta against
Tanner. And once Harvey saw how far Mike was willing to go for him, he advised Mike to settle.
It seems that some of what his doctor has been telling him has finally sunk in.

Barone)
Production Code: S506
Summary: Harvey reels from Dr. Agard’s revelation about the root of his panic
attacks; and has to make a tough decision in a case that touches a
nerve. In other events, Mike and Louis take over responsibility for Har-
vey’s oldest client; and Donna tries to make Rachel’s dream wedding
possible.

Harvey has quit therapy again only this

time he at least had a legitimate excuse.
See, Harvey’s mother is trigger for him
and that’s just how it’s always been. So
Harvey didn’t want to discuss the woman,
who truthfully was at the very heart of
his abandonment issues, and he chose to
stop seeing Dr. Agard when she tried to
push him when he wasn’t ready.
And unless a patient is ready, there
isn’t a doctor in the world that can push
him or her into revealing the deepest
darkest parts of themselves.
So, yes, Harvey had an excuse to quit therapy and the reason was that he wasn’t ready for
actual therapy. Like discussing his feelings or get in touch with his inner child. And in fact he only
showed up for his appointments in order to rid himself of panic attacks. Yet his stubbornness
doesn’t change the one thing he can’t deny — he’s a hot mess.
And so recently Harvey’s friends have been looking out for him. Mike tends to take on cases
he knows Harvey doesn’t really want to be bothered with. And Rachel stands guard whenever
she feels like someone is going to push Harvey too far.
Which, when you think about it, is kind of bad. Harvey has this reputation for being made of
stone yet even his new secretary knows she has to practically baby-sit him.
So taking on Samuel Tull as a client could probably be considered risky behavior. Harvey
didn’t like the other man all that much and some could say they’ve ”traded words” in the past.
But despite that Harvey chose to represent Samuel in a defamation lawsuit.
A while back Samuel had nearly railroaded one of Harvey’s clients but now he’s being rail-
roaded himself by his former company that don’t want to admit they did illegal trading in his
name. So Harvey had come up with a strategy on how to defeat them. And to be frank it was a
good one.
If it worked then his client would receive million dollars on compensation either way.

183
 Suits Episode Guide

However Harvey didn’t count on Samuel’s therapist being authorized to testify against him.
And while normally that can’t be done, in this it can. Samuel had gone to see the company’s ther-
apist and he had even signed a waiver (without realizing what it said) that allowed his therapist
to testify against him if she must.
Thus Harvey then felt justified in walking away from therapy. Dr. Agard was unreliable and
could flip on her clients at the drop of the hat. And Harvey knows this because later he tried to
talk her into giving a false testimony only for her to turn him down.
She said she had to do what was right.
Though that wasn’t always the case. So when she came to testify against Samuel, Harvey
ripped into her character. He revealed that she once gave a false testimony about a client after
receiving pressure from the another/paying client. And Harvey used that to discredit her.
So Harvey crossed the line and ended up losing his doctor’s trust in the process. She was
soon fired from the company that had her on retainer. And as it turns out Harvey burnt a bridge
while he still needed it.
Dr. Agard was Samuel’s therapist but she also saw all the traders and had a file on each one of
them. Meaning she could have helped Harvey’s case and would have saved Samuel from having
to go to prison.
But Harvey wasn’t thinking about that while he was being petty. And funnily enough this
week Louis actually tried being the bigger person.
Jessica had a little to talk with him and she told him that he needed to give up the petti-
ness/feud with Jack Soloff. So that’s what Louis did. He was working on a case with Mike and
set Mike to reach out to Jack in good faith.
And then Jack stabbed them in the back.
He blew up their deal and for 24 hours they were fired from the client they were supposed to
be representing. But guys eventually fixed that. And they won back their client.
Then the guys, who were often caught having an argument about this case to begin with,
screwed over Jack together.
And Harvey, finally figuring out that he was the one in the wrong, apologized to Dr. Agard.

Summary: Mike teams with Jack Soloff on a case; Esther Litt returns to P.S.L.
in hopes of discreetly solving a problem; and Donna and Harvey try to
return their friendship to normal.

Harvey returned to therapy on tonight’s

episode of ”Suits” and it seems he was
finally ready to open up. For the first
time, he admitted to Dr. Agard that he
walked in on his mother entertaining an-
other man in his room.
Apparently, it happened right after he
had been sent home early from school.
He had been feeling sick and the school
back in those days would let the kids get
home on their own accord. So there was
Harvey, fresh out of school early, and not
feeling well when he heard noises coming
from his parents’ bedroom.
The curious kid went to investigate the noise and he saw a strange man buttoning up his
shirt but his mom then told him it was their cousin, Cousin Scott. And that his dad didn’t need
to know that Cousin Scott had come over.
So that’s been the root of all of Harvey’s trust issues and it was breakthrough for therapy.
However the meeting itself put Harvey on edge. And that wasn’t a good thing when he found out
about Jack Soloff. Jack Soloff had come close to ruining the man Harvey first signed.
Meaning, in this war between himself and Jack, Jack was the one that tried to make it per-
sonal. And Harvey wanted to react. Probably in the most foolish way what with his anger running
high. Yet Jessica stepped in and stopped him.
Jessica had warned Jack the last time he crossed her but that doesn’t mean she trusted
him when he later approached Mike. He said he wanted to make peace. You know as a way to
apologize to Mike for nearly ruining his deal but who can say with a man like Jack. He’s taken
every opportunity in the pass to double cross Louis/Harvey/ and Jessica.
So Jessica had Mike watching Jack and she commanded him to work with the other man.
Although those two ended up running into issues.

185
 Suits Episode Guide

There were several incidents when Mike accused Jack of dirt dealing only for it to be revealed
that Jack was actually doing the job they were asked. So as they were working together — Mike
came to have a change of opinion about Jack. And he showed another side to himself while they
were ”bonding”.
Mike showed Jack that he too could play hardball and his tactics might not be so naive.
Especially when it comes to big company trying to rip-off the little guy.
So Jack and Mike came to respect each other in the end. And Mike even vouched for him to
Jessica. However she couldn’t allow, whatever they were having, to continue. Not when Jack had
followed up their working together to nominate Mike for Junior Partner. A position that Jessica
told him he had to give up.
Jessica said she couldn’t release an announcement about a Mike from Harvard when they
both knew that to be a lie.
And so she tried to talk Mike from accepting the nomination. While she tried to counter that
by saying no one in their right mind would turn down a nomination. Thus with those two at
cross-purposes, there was no one to intervene between Harvey and Louis.
Louis’s sister Esther had come to firm needing representation in a lawsuit. First she went to
Harvey and when he turned her down — she went to her brother. But once the case settled, all
Esther wanted to do was to talk to Harvey. A man she had apparently slept with after he wrapped
up her divorce proceedings.
Only Harvey wasn’t in the mood. He had spoken about what happened between him and
Esther to his therapist and she said that sounded just like the incident with his mother because
Harvey had promise Louis that he wouldn’t cross that line. Then he did and afterwards he made
Donna cover for him.
So that was like when his mother made him lie and probably rationalized that it was better
for her husband not know.
And after he had spoken with his therapist, Harvey decided to pick up where they left off with
Esther and simply be honest with Louis. But Louis found out about Harvey breaking his word
and tried to attack him.
Safe to say that didn’t go well and Louis was left injured after getting pushed and falling
through a glass table. So this mess could be just the thing that forces Jessica’s hand in choosing
between them. And though Harvey is her golden boy, the fact assaulted a named partner means
he’s finally come down in her eyes.

Guest Stars: Troian Bellisario (Claire Boden)
Production Code: S508
Summary: Jessica performs damage control following the Harvey-Louis incident;
and Donna counsels the men on how to solve their issues. Mike, mean-
while, searches for a way to down his announced promotion without
raising suspicion.

Jessica went into overdrive the moment

she found a bleeding Louis on the ground
and Harvey standing over him. But on
tonight’s episode of ”Suits”, while she’s
so busy running around to put out fires,
Jack Soloff ended up seeing her under-
belly.
Thus, when Jessica realized that she
had allowed herself to be vulnerable in
front of enemy, she then went out and did
something odd. She went back to Mike
and she told him to forget what she had
said earlier because she was going to be
promoting him to junior partner. And that
as a tradition, it was her place as a man-
aging partner to give him his first job in his new positon. So right after Jessica gave him his first
ever case to take the lead on — Mike got ecstatic. He thought all his dreams must have come
true for Jessica to have changed her mind.
However, there turned out to be a downside to the case Jessica gave him. Like the opposing
lawyer being an ex of his and who knew a little too much about his sketchy past with law school.
So what that meant for Mike, was that he was only ever going to get one shot at this being a
junior partner because if he made one wrong move with his ex — then his career would have
been over!
Much like Harvey’s career! See, both Harvey’s therapist and Jessica had asked in their own
way for Harvey to apologize. Yet Harvey didn’t feel like he had to. Louis after all was the one that
had come gunning for him so to Harvey that means he was justified in hitting the other man.
But what happened between the two men was more than just a punch and a failed punch (on
Louis’s part). That fight hurt both men on a personal level. So eventually Harvey was talked into
going to Louis and simply explaining his position.
And, surprisingly, Louis was open to what Harvey had to say.
Particularly as Harvey told Louis everything. He mentioned his therapy and how Louis had
said a few things that were triggers for him. And afterwards Louis told him that he could come
back to the office. He said that he was willing to let bygones be bygones.

187
 Suits Episode Guide

And unfortunately that was all an act on Louis’s part because he really cane be quite vindic-
tive. Which means that later during the partners meeting — he brought up his fight with Harvey.
Then demanded that Harvey be suspended. As per their company’s bylaws.
Thus Harvey was left feeling quite pissed. And he followed Louis into the bathroom in order
to confront him.
He had honestly opened up to someone else and Louis literally threw all of that away. It
seems he believed that Harvey had been lying about his panic attacks and therapy. So Louis felt
righteous for tricking Harvey into coming back only to be suspended.
But Harvey had told him the truth and not long after their last meeting, Donna had apparently
grown curious. She questioned Louis about what he had said to Harvey to get him to punch him.
And then began to suspect him when Louis refused to say.
Though, the one thing everyone pretty much agreed on is that they didn’t like how Louis used
Mike’s promotion to lure Harvey out into the open so to speak.
Technically Harvey wouldn’t have gone to that partners’ meeting if it were not for Mike. So
that was a low blow on Louis’s part. And even Mike was left upset by the ploy.
Mike normally would have done something after that but the case with his ex had gone off
kilter. Not long after he realized he couldn’t be seen by his ex, Mike put Rachel in charge of his
case and sadly she committed one blunder after another. Until nothing either of them did could
possible hide the truth.
And once it was out there, Rachel had to take care of it. She talked to Claire and she convinced
the other woman not to press formal charges with DA for fraud.
However Mike wanted to know why Claire back down. So he later approached her and asked
her why she didn’t say anything. And she said she couldn’t be the one to bust the bubble for
Rachel. Not, at least, when she knew it was going to happen one day anyway.

Summary: Rachel and her mom plan for Rachel’s dream wedding, but Rachel wor-
ries that the event could reveal Mike’s secret. In other events, Daniel
Hardman and Jack Soloff make their move against Jessica and the
partners; Harvey and Mike tangle with Hardman’s mysterious backer;
and Louis tries to find Jack’s weakness.

Daniel Hardman has made a move

against the firm on tonight’s episode of
”Suits” and it seems he finally convinced
his former protégé to join him over on the
dark side because Jack was the one that
set everything into motion.
See Harvey’s suspension had been put
in front of the board and because the
vote was split — Harvey was allowed to
get away with what he did to Louis. And
didn’t even have to suffer the humilia-
tion of being put on probation. However
with the board of partners all convened —
Jack had the perfect opportunity to put
something to vote.
And so he asked that Daniel Hardman be reinstated. Daniel had recently signed on a big
client and if he joined the firm then all that money would be coming with him. But before Jack
could go on about the benefits of taking Daniel back, Jessica ended the meeting. She said she
would never allow that man back into the firm and that it didn’t need to a board vote.
Yet, by doing this, she played right into Daniel and Jack’s hands. For they knew she was going
to turn them down and they wanted that to come back and bite her.
Their actual plan was to get turn down and then use Daniel’s new client’s resources to slowly
bleed money from out of the firm. That way they the firm would eventually have to take Daniel
back just so they wouldn’t lose everything. And afterwards everyone would pretty much remem-
ber that it was Jessica that had set everything in motion.
Meaning they’re setting everything up so that Daniel could come back and once again try to
take over. However Mike has found out where Daniel and Jack want to hit first. So they’re doing
everything they can to protect they client from a fallout.
Especially Harvey. Dominic Barrone was the first client he ever signed on at the firm so he’s
sentimental to Harvey and Mike knows that.

189
 Suits Episode Guide

So while they’re running around the city in order to protect this Mr. Barrone, things weren’t
going so well back at the office. It seems Rachel has gotten into a big fight with her mother about
her wedding. Apparently the older woman wanted to throw a big society wedding with announce-
ment in the newspaper and this huge attendance for the happy day. But Rachel couldn’t all that
to happen.
Not when her fiancée is technically a fraud.
Which meant Rachel was stuck. She couldn’t tell her mother the real reason her future hus-
band shouldn’t be splashed across newspapers and all she could come up with as an excuse was
that she wanted a small wedding. Though her mother didn’t really but that.
Even when she was small, all Rachel talked about was a big wedding at the Plaza. So for her
to suddenly change her mind didn’t exactly make sense. And that’s why Rachel mother reached
out to Mike.
She wanted to know what was going on and Mike took the blame for the scale down wedding.
But after their conversation, he got to thinking that maybe he shouldn’t marry Rachel. Not when
he was taking away her dream wedding and every decision they make could lead to his arrest.
Though they later talked it over and for now they still wished to be married despite what that
might lead to.
And at the firm, Harvey realized who had been secretly funding Daniel’s personal vendetta.
So he went to visit Charles Forstman in prison and he tried to find a way to stop him. However
the only way to end Charles’s money pit of a vendetta was for him to resign.
So Harvey has to make a decision. Will his quit job in order to save the firm or will he stay on
in hopes of fighting?
But in a funny case of irony, Mike sought out his old friend Trevor and he was going to invite
him to the wedding. Trevor though refused the invitation. It seems he turned his life around and
now he’s the one that doesn’t want to be associated with Mike.

Summary: Jessica and Louis try to rally the partners to stop the takeover attempt
by Hardman and Soloff. In other events, Mike and Harvey each face
down past demons in order to make potentially life-altering decisions.

Jack and his very vindictive mentor have

made their move and they’ve called for a
vote to replace Jessica as managing part-
ner.
Now Jessica could fight this hostile
takeover but she’s facing a losing battle
without either Harvey or Mike at her side.
And unfortunately she knows it. So she’s
getting desperate and the only men that
she knows she count on are elsewhere go-
ing a spiritual evaluation.
Harvey if you recall has been doing
some very extensive form of therapy and
recently he asked his doctor to clear her whole schedule for the day so that he could finally talk
about the end of his parents’ marriage. And seeing as that’s normally one topic he’s always done
his best stay away from, Dr. Agard knew she couldn’t let this opportunity to pass.
However Harvey was so immersed with going down memory lane that he completely stopped
answering his phone and simply chose to keep it off for convenience sake. Thus Jessica couldn’t
get into contact with him and no matter how much she threaten Harvey’s assistant — the other
woman wasn’t going to crack. And on top of that with no Mike — there went Jessica’s last chance
at finding Harvey.
Mike had chosen the worst day in the world to take a personal day and had it all to do that
unfriendly visit he had last week. Trevor had told him that he no longer wanted Mike to contact
him if the other man was going to continue living his life as a fraud. And he didn’t just leave
things there. He also told Mike not to ruin Rachel’s life by having her continue with his lie.
So that got Mike to thinking and he realized he needed to return home. He went to go visit his
old neighborhood priest and he wanted Father Sam Walker to assure him that he was still a very
good person. And that was something the Father felt particularly conflicted about.

191
 Suits Episode Guide

Mike had had some issues in his youth. He rebelled, he stole, and he simply did not want to
listen to those around him. But the Father had given him a second chance back then that he’s
now wondering did more harm than good.
See Mike had stolen from the church. He had taken over nine hundred dollars that he had
added up to how much his parents had put in every week before their deaths. And the Father
knew that it had been Mike yet he didn’t call the police. Instead he talked it over with the young
man and he somehow convinced to start taking his life seriously.
But looking at Mike now and the position he’s in, the father confessed to regretting his earlier
decision.
He wasn’t sure about this man that Mike had become or why Mike had even visited him. And
Mike kept skirting around his real issues in order to avoid the conversation he knew he didn’t
want. So the Father, who had known Mike his whole life, knew he had to confront Mike to get
him to open up.
And that’s when Mike revealed his fears. For he does know that one day he has stop pretending
with his law degree and the reason he’s dragging his feet on this is because once he’s no longer
the man that Rachel met — he’s afraid she’ll leave and he’ll be alone again. Like he was after his
parents died.
Though, his lack of faith is something the Father had grown used to. So he was there to
comfort Mike and help him get over the loss that has always haunted him.
And in that respect, Dr. Agard did the same for Harvey. Harvey never admitted out loud how
much he had done to cause his parents’ marriage to implode. Nor did he discuss any of his
regrets about the way he handled things.
However, finally taking responsibility about his past had made now make the best decision he
could for the firm. So right before Jessica could be ousted — Harvey officially resigned thereby
ensuring the vendetta that Daniel was pulling lost all its funding. And that meant Jack Soloff
was then on his own when it came to trying to remove Jessica from her position.
So, in the end, Jessica was allowed to stay on as managing partner but she lost Harvey and
that’s something she wasn’t going to accept without a fight.
Yet Harvey wasn’t the only one to resign. Mike ended up doing so as well and Rachel was
actually quite pleased about them finally having a chance at a normal life. But just before Mike
met her at the elevator with his box of things — the police came by to arrest him for fraud.

Summary: Mike’s worst fears have come true. He’s been arrested for fraud and
is under investigation by a ruthless government prosecutor, Assistant
US Attorney Anita Gibbs.

The episode kicks off with Michael Ross

in the interrogation room — the district
attorney Gibbs arrives and taunts him
— she announces that she is ”going to
put him in jail.” He has been arrested
for fraud — and is facing up to 66 years
in prison. Gibbs teases, ”College boys —
even fake ones — don’t do well in prison.”
Rachel rushes in to Harvey’s office and
tells him that two men from the State’s
Attorney office just arrested Mike. Jessica
tells Harvey that neither of them can go
down to the prison because they will be
charged with co-conspiracy. Jessica tells Harvey that she is ripping up his resignation letter —
he can’t resign from the firm the same day that Michael is arrested - – that will only make them
look more guilty.
Meanwhile in the interrogation room Gibbs has set up a camera — and Mike has agreed to
confess. Mike tricks Gibbs and announces he isn’t going to confess, he just wanted it on tape
that she has violated his rights and won’t let him speak to his lawyer. Gibbs opens the door and
says that there was a misunderstanding and his lawyer just arrived — but it’s not Harvey that
walks through the door, it’s Robert Zane, and he does not look happy.
Robert reveals that Rachel called him and asked for help. He demands to know if the accu-
sations are true. When Mike doesn’t deny it, Robert is furious. He shouts that he ”doesn’t give a
shit what happens to Mike” — he is there for Rachel. He slams Mike up against the wall and tells
him that he has to turn on Harvey, that is the only way that he is going to get out of this mess.
Mike says there is no way he is ever going to turn on Harvey — Robert leaves, and says he won’t
help him, and he doesn’t have to worry about him dating his daughter any more because he will
be in prison for the rest of his life.
Louis stops by Donna’s house and tells her about Mike. He orders her not to go any where
near Mike or Harvey or else she is going to wind up on the witness list. Donna argues that they
are like her family — and then announces that she is still going to check on Rachel and there is
nothing that Louis can do to stop her.

Harvey is at the State’s Attorney office — but they won’t let him in to the interroagation room
to talk to Mike. Robert is leaving the building and bumps in to Harvey — he shouts at him for
putting Rachel’s future and career at risk. Robert tells Harvey that the only reason he came was
to try and get Mike to thrown Harvey under the bus — and he wouldn’t.
Harvey finally gets in to the interrogation room and Mike has a meltdown — he says that he
knows he is going to prison and he doesn’t have a case. Harvey tells Mike to get a grip, Gibbs
doesn’t have anything on him. Technically, he is in the bar database and has a degree from
Harvard — she has no proof that he isn’t a real lawyer. Meanwhile, Donna is trying to comfort
Rachel who is at her house and having a meltdown of her own.
Mike gets tossed in a jail cell with a hyped up prisoner — he roughs Mike up a bit and the
guards come running. Mike jokes that he isn’t scared of the inmate, because he recognizes him
and knows he is an undercover marshall. Mike taunts the guard on duty and says that there is
no way they are going to beat a confession out of him.
Robert heads over to Rachel’s house and tells her that he won’t be representing Mike — he
lectures her about putting herself at risk to be with a fraud and a criminal. Rachel cries that she
loves Mike, but her father tells her she needs to ”get rid of him.” Rachel sobs that she cant do
that, and then Robert informs her that he won’t be able to help her either and leaves.
Harvey tracks Gibbs down at the court cafeteria and asks her why she is going after Mike. He
tries to cut a deal with her and tells her that he will get Mike to write up a letter of resignation if
she drops charges. She laughs that she isn’t going to drop the charges, but if Mike resigns then
she will waive his bail. And, if he doesn’t — then she will see to it that his assets are frozen too.
Jack stops by Jessica’s office to taunt her about Mike getting arrested. He teases that since
she had a fraud working at the firm, now would be the perfect time for a new leader to take over.
Jessica laughs off his threats and tells Jack that if he tries to boot her right now, he will look like
a bottom feeder.
Donna shows up at Harvey’s house and demands to know why he isn’t at the office, he tells
her that he resigned. Donna reveals that she just saw Rachel and she is not doing well, they
need to get Mike out of prison. Harvey says that he is doing what he can — but he needs Donna
to sneak something out of the office for him.
In court, Gibbs motions the judge to have Harvey removed as Mike’s lawyer. She gives the
judge the resignation letter and says that they were conspiring together, and it is unethical on
top of that because Harvey is also Mike’s boss. The judge orders them all to meet in her chamber
in 10 minute — and she doesn’t seem too thrilled with Harvey and Mike.
In the judge’s chamber Gibbs argues that Robert was his Mike’s original attorney, he can’t
just add a new one. Harvey and Mike argue that Gibbs is just as guilty of twisting the law around
as they are, they tell the judge that Gibbs violated Mike’s rights and wouldn’t let him see his
lawyer. The judge has had enough, she shoots down Gibbs’ motion and lets Mike bail himself
out. Rachel is waiting for him in the courtroom, and runs in to his arms once he is a free man.
Harvey informs them that they don’t have time to celebrate, it is time to go on the offense — first
they need to figure out every single person that knows the truth about Mike’s faux transcripts
and bar exam.
Jessica sends Louis on a mission — she tells him that he needs to find something in the
bilaws that they can use to stop Jack from holding a meeting and over-throwing her. Jessica
goes back to her office and finds Robert waiting for her. He tells Jessica that he needs her to fire
Rachel, because she won’t quit, and he doesn’t want her career going up in flames. Jessica tells
Robert she can’t do that — it will only make Mike look more guilty if they fire his fiancé the day
that he is arrested. Robert threatens her before he leaves and warns her that people are going to
come out of the woodwork to take her down now that her firm has been wounded — and he is
going to help them.
Meanwhile Harvey is trying to tie up loose ends — he pays Scottie a visit. She reminds him
that she is not in his life anymore and she doesn’t need to lie for him anymore. Harvey warns
her that people might come ask her about Mike, Scottie won’t promise to keep his secret. Mike is
busy too, he visits Trevor and reminds him that he owes him — Trevor reluctantly agrees to lie
for Mike if the state’s attorney comes knocking on his door.
Back at the firm, Louis has served Donna with formal papers and fired her. He is furious
because he found out that she was snooping around the firm and getting papers for Harvey after
he specifically told her not to. Louis gets emotional, and breaks down in tears — he says that he

194
 Suits Episode Guide

is only firing her because he knows that Harvey and Mike need her more than he does. But, he
hates to see her go because he is scared that she will wind up getting arrested and he doesn’t
want to lose her too.
Mike is headed home and the Marshall from the jail cell is waiting on his porch. He tells Mike
that Gibbs is going to bring him another deal, and if he is smart then he will take it. Mike tells
him to get away from his house, before the Marshall leaves he taunts Mike that he saw his fiancé
and she is ”smart and beautiful and there is no way she is going to wait for him if he goes to
prison.”
Mike heads upstairs and Rachel is waiting for him — she says that Robert just left, and Gibbs
offered him a deal. If Mike turns on Harvey, then they will drop all of the charges and he won’t
have to spend a minute in prison. Mike is furious, he tells Rachel that there is no way in hell
he is going to turn on Harvey because he is loyal to everyone in his life. He scoffs that if Rachel
considered the deal — then she isn’t loyal, and if he does go to prison then there is no way she
will wait for him.
Harvey shows up at the door in the middle of Rachel and Mike’s fight — he has bad news,
Gibbs is snooping around and she is very close to figuring out that Harvey already resigned from
the firm. And, if Gibbs finds out, then it will screw up their deal with Forstman. Mike has an
epiphany — he announces that ”if the assistant attorney wants him to turn on Harvey, then that
means he is holding a gun, and he can point it at Forstman.”
Mike stops by the office and tells Jack that if he doesn’t back off and stop trying to take over
the firm — then he is going to tell Gibbs that he is the one that helped him create a fake degree
and credentials. Jack asks Mike what he wants — Mike tells him that Harvey is coming back to
work tomorrow, and if he calls Forstman and rats Harvey out, then Mike will rat Jack out.
Mike is getting ready to go back to court — Rachel gives him a pep talk and promises him
that if he does go to jail, then she will wait for him and when he gets out they can start their lives
together over without his secret hanging over their heads.

Summary: Harvey is back on his home court, with Donna back by his side, but
there’s no time to get comfortable as Anita Gibbs’ next move hits both
of them where it hurts. Meanwhile, it’s revealed that the Justice De-
partment’s investigation into Mike was kicked off by an anonymous
tip.

The episode kicks off with a flashback to

when Donna was a young girl — her fa-
ther informs her that they are relocating
to Connecticut, and he has found them
an apartment in Hartford. He tries to con-
vince her that the movie is for the best,
but Donna isn’t buying it. Her dad con-
fesses that his business fell through and
he has to move the family to Hartford for
work.
Donna is sitting in the interrogation
room with Gibbs — she informs Gibbs
that she doesn’t know anything, and she
has nothing to tell her. Gibbs smirks and says that Donna is free to go, as Donna is leaving —
she looks at the interrogation room next to her’s, and her father is in there pacing back and
forth. Donna demands Gibbs tell her what is going on — her father has nothing to do with Mike
or Harvey. Gibbs laughs that Dona’s dad got involved in a ”shady real estate deal a few years
ago.” Donna hisses at Gibbs that she is a ”cold heartless bitch.”
Earlier that day, Mike is lying in bed and trying to map out a game plan. He can’t concentrate
because he knows that Rachel’s Dad told her to ”get rid of him.” Mike tells Rachel that he trusts
her and he believes that she isn’t going to leave him.
At the firm, Jessica is freaking out — she just got subpoenas from the state’s attorney office
and they are subpoenaing every single case that Mike has ever touched. Jessica is panicking —
she says she will be damned if she lets Jessica rifle through her house. Jessica wants Harvey to
bring in outside council and ask Scottie for help.
Mike has a game plan, he and Harvey are headed to court to argue that the subpoenas are no
good, they argue that she has no evidence. Gibbs pulls out a letter she received from a general
faculty address at Harvard stating that Mike is a fraud. The judge tells Gibbs to track down the
sender ASAP, or else she is squashing the whole case.
Mike and Harvey leave — Mike is certain that it was Gerard who sent in the anonymous tip.
Mike wants to go confront Gerard, and keep him quiet, but then he would be leading Gibbs

197
 Suits Episode Guide

straight to the tipster. Harvey says that he has a plan, he knows someone that they can send to
talk to Gerard that Gibbs won’t know to follow.
Harvey and Mike leave the judges’ office and learn that Donna has been taken in by Gibbs for
questioning. Harvey tells Mike to deal with the email, and rushes off to help Donna. Mike takes
the anonymous email to Louis and explains that he thinks that it was Gerard and they want him
to go to Gerard and keep him quiet. Louis reads the email and is shocked — he recognizes the
wording and tells Mike it wasn’t from Gerard, but he knows who it is from.
Flashback — Donna’s Dad really was caught up in a shady real estate deal. Apparently,
he came to Donna and asked her to see if Harvey would let him borrow money to make the
investment.
Donna and Harvey get in to see her Dad in the interrogation room, her dad reassures them
that ”no one can rattle his cage.” He insists that he isn’t going to talk to them. Harvey is livid —
he confronts Gibbs and tells her that bringing Donna’s father in to the mix is a low blow. Back at
the firm, Mike learns what happened with Donna’s dad and he feels horrible, he tells Rachel that
he wants to cut a deal with the attorney before she drags anyone else in to it. Jessica gets wind
of Mike’s plan and accuses him of turning his back on her and Harvey — Jessica isn’t stressed
though, she has already hired her own personal lawyer in case that happened ... Jeff Malone.
Louis is furious, he shows up at his ex Sheila’s house — apparently she just happened to
notice that there weren’t any records of Mike Ross at Harvard, where she works. Then, she took
it upon herself to email the tip in to the state’s attorney. Louis shouts that Sheila is messing with
her entire firm. He demands that she retract the email, she laughs that she cant do that. Sheila
gives Louis a speech about how they are clearly ”not soulmates” because no man that she loved
would protect a liar and condone what Mike did.
Louis heads back to the firm, and he is having a meltdown. He tells Mike that Sheila wrote
the note, and there is no way that she is going to retract it. Mike has a plan B, he tracks down
Gerard and tries to get him to sign an affidavit saying that Mike was in his class so that he can
take it to the judge. Gerard scoffs that there is no way that he is signing anything.
Back at the office, Donna learns that the state’s attorney is officially charging her father with
bank fraud. She shouts at Harvey that he needs to get this fixed ASAP, and accuses him of
investing in her fathers’ shady business deal years ago behind her back.
Mike returns to the firm with a strategically worded letter from Gerard saying that he was
a ”great student” — but it doesn’t exactly say that Mike was his student at Harvard. Mike and
Harvey take the letter to court and try to get the case dismissed. Gibbs isn’t backing down, but
they cut a deal — she agrees to drop all charges against Donna’s dad, in exchange for Harvey
dropping the motion to dismiss the case. Donna and her dad are free — but Mike is going to trial.
Harvey heads back to the firm and gives Donna the semi good news. While they are talking,
Gibbs shows up with subpoenas for everything in their office. Harvey demands to know why
the judge gave her the subpoenas, Gibbs laughs that Louis’s ex Sheila has come forward and
confirmed that she wrote the email. Donna heads to Louis’s office to tell him about Sheila’s
betrayal — Louis appears to be in stock, he shuts the door and says that he needs some alone
time.

Summary: With time running out before Mike’s case goes to trial, Harvey and
Mike are at odds over their strategy, and just what lengths they’ll go
to in order to defeat Gibbs.

The episode kicks off with Mike and Har-

vey in court — the judge orders Anita
Gibbs to hand over the discovery to
their case, which is exactly what Harvey
wanted... he needs to know what they are
up against. But, there’s a down side – -
the judge sets the trial date for just two
weeks away.
Jack shows up in Jessica’s office, he
says there is a problem. A recent head-
line in the newspaper reads that there is
”No way in God’s green Earth” that none
of the partners at the firm knew Mike’s
secret. Jack says they need a plan ASAP. They need to do some pro-bono cases to restore their
reputation, and get on their clients’ good sides again.
After court, Mike is paranoid — he thinks that Gibbs is going to come after more of their loved
ones, like Rachel (just like she did Donna). Mike wants to hire someone to dig up dirt on Gibbs.
Harvey tells him that is a horrible idea and if they get caught they will be in even more trouble.
He tells Mike he will take care of it, and orders Mike to go back to the office and start going
through boxes — they are going to trial in two weeks.
Louis and Jessica get a stack of applicants from Harvard — Louis rants that Sheila is sending
them the ”bottom of the barrel.” Jessica says that it is time to start considering hiring people
from other universities like Yale or Stamford. Louis scoffs that is a horrible idea — they only hire
people from Harvard.
Meanwhile, Gibbs is trying to sink her claws in to Rachel. She meets up with her at a café
and tells Rachel that she has a deal for her. She tells Rachel that if she gives up the people that
are really responsible for this mess (Harvey and Jessica), then she will make sure that Mike and
Rachel can practice law for the rest of their lives and will get out of this unscathed — and she’ll
even get Mike in to Columbia law school so he can get a real degree.
Rachel shows up at the office and Mike demands to know where she has been — she is
supposed to be helping him get ready for the case. Rachel confesses that she met with Gibbs
and she offered her a deal. Michael reminds Rachel that Gibbs is basically the devil and was
just trying to get inside her head. And it worked, Rachel breaks down and cries because Gibbs
reminded her that if she pleads the fifth in court — she won’t be eligible to take the bar.

199
 Suits Episode Guide

Louis heads to Harvard — he demands to know why Sheila is sending them bottom of the
barrel candidates. Sheila points out that she is not sending them ”sludge,” no one wants to work
at their firm because they read the article in the paper and know that Louis and his partners are
being taken to court by the State’s Attorney. It’s career suicide for Harvard students.
Jessica decides that Jack’s plan was horrible — doing pro bono cases would mean that they
are weak, and the other firms will be out for blood. She wants to remind the other firms not
to mess with her, she sends Jack out on a mission to start poaching clients from their rival
firms, which is pretty hard seeing as how nobody wants to sign with them while they are being
investigated by the State’s Attorney.
Mike goes behind Harvey’s back and pays Scotty a visit — she isn’t too thrilled to see him. He
needs another lawyer to go after Gibbs, Scotty doesn’t want anything to do with their mess. Mike
tries to guilt her in to helping him and asks her to ”do it for Harvey.”
Harvey bumps in to Gibbs and reveals that he is going let the judge know that she tried to me
with a witness in secret, he accuses her of tampering with Rachel. Gibbs scoffs ”why on God’s
Green Earth” would she do that and Harvey realizes that she is the one that planted the article
in the newspaper that is doing some serious damage to the firm.
Rachel is called in to the Dean’s office at Stamford. The Dean has learned that Mike is now
being accused of taking L-Sats for other students, and he suspects that he may have taken
Rachel’s test for her because there are some discrepancies in her scores. The Dean warns Rachel
that if Mike’s case doesn’t go away soon — then he will have to expel her, he doesn’t want Rachel
to make the university look bad.
Scotty shows up at Harvey’s office in a huff — she accuses him of sending Mike to her office
to try and guilt her. They wind up having another one of their huge blow-ups over Mike’s secret.
Scotty sneers that Harvey ”chose Mike over her” before she storms out.
Mike heads home and Rachel is freaking out — she tells Mike that Gibbs got to the Dean at
Stamford, and threatened to expel her. Rachel warns him that they know about him taking the
L-Sats for people. Mike has an epiphany and he rushes to find Harvey. He tells Harvey that they
have to go after Gibbs for ”Abuse of Power” for trying to get Rachel expelled. Harvey says that
they need proof that Gibbs contacted the Dean, he tells Mike to ”do what he needs to do” — but
don’t get caught.
Mike tracks down Gibbs’ assistant — a young lawyer named David Green. Ironically, Mike
took the L-Sats for David Green, he threatens David and tells him that he will tell Gibbs he took
the L-Sats for him and he will lose his license to practice law unless David brings him proof that
Gibbs contacted the dean.
The next day Harvey and Mike pay Gibbs a visit with the proof they got from David — Gibbs
agrees to sign a document saying she committed a sanctionable offense and agrees to leave
Rachel alone — in exchange they drop the charges of malicious prosecution that they were trying
to press against her. It looks like Mike and Harvey have won this tiny battle — but it is far from
over, and Mike is still in serious trouble.
Mike heads back to the office and tells Rachel the good news — she is off the hook, for now.
Meanwhile in Louis’s office, he is having a meltdown because none of the other colleges have any
students that want to apply at their firm. Louis freaks out on Jessica and blames her for their
ship sinking. Jessica snaps at Louis that if he really was that worried about saving the ship —
then he would go to Harvard and make sure that Sheila doesn’t make it to the trial.
Scotty stops by Harvey’s office — apparently he summoned her there. Harvey tells Scotty that
their relationship didn’t end because of Mike, he wants to be upfront with Scotty and tells her
that he has been ”seeing someone.” When this whole thing is over — he hopes that he and Scotty
can be friends though, and he wants to be able to call her.
Scotty bumps in to Rachel when she is leaving, and she gets inside of Rachel’s head. She
warns Rachel that if Mike doesn’t go to jail, then he is just going to resent her for the rest of her
life because she is going to get to be a lawyer and he can’t be.
Louis heads back to Boston and convinces Sheila to take a trip to Argentina so that she can’t
be subpoenaed to testify against them in trial. Back at the firm — Harvey and Mike are at the
office late and bickering over the case. Donna interrupts and tells them that they have a bigger
problem — Gibbs has found Trevor.

Summary: As time runs out before the trial, Mike wants to represent himself
while Harvey wants to lead the charge. To decide the issue, Harvey
challenges Mike to a winner takes all showdown, but the prospect of
beating one another starts to overshadow their real goal — to beat
Anita Gibbs. Meanwhile, Louis’s attempt to get Sheila out of the pic-
ture comes back to haunt him and Jessica

The episode kicks off in court — Mike and

Harvey watch as Trevor takes the stand.
Gibbs questions Trevor, he confirms that
he just saw Mike a few days ago and Mike
asked him not to testify against him. Af-
ter court Harvey stops by Jessica’s of-
fice and tells her that they have a prob-
lem — Mike wants to represent himself in
court, he doesn’t want Harvey to repre-
sent him. Harvey says that he has a plan,
he is challenging Mike to a mock trial and
whoever wins is going to represent him in
court.
Mike stops by a corner store to get breakfast on his way to the office and bumps in to Harold
— he tells Mike that he knows that he is going to court and he wants to testify on his behalf.
Harold offers to take the stand and tell the court that Mike went to Harvard even though he
didn’t. Mike says he doesn’t want to get anyone else involved, but he appreciates Harold’s offer.
Now, it’s time for the mock trial. Jessica takes the stand as the judge — and they have the
whole office in the fake court room and posing as jurors. Mike represents himself, and Harvey
plays the part of opposing council. They are at each other’s throats after just a few minutes and
Jessica calls a recess.
Outside, Louis runs in to Gibbs. She says that she knows Louis sent Sheila to Argentina —
and she can’t stay there forever. Gibbs threatens Louis and tells him that if Sheila isn’t back by
the time the trial starts then Louis is going to be charged with witness tampering.
Mike corners Harvey in the bathroom and accuses him of cheating in the mock trial. Harvey
says that he isn’t cheating, he is just doing the same thing that Gibbs is going to do to him when
they go to real trial. Harvey snaps at Mike that he should stop this nonsense and start working
on his own defense and find someone that will testify that he was in Harvard.

 Suits Episode Guide

Louis goes to Jessica and tells her that Anita threatened to press charges against him for
witness tampering. Jessica is fed up with Anita and her games — she marches in to Anita’s office
and serves her with a restraining order. Anita laughs it off, and says that she will see Louis on
the witness stand and he will have to talk to her then.
Mike heads out to find someone to testify on his behalf — he corners Jimmy and asks him
to lie and say that he remembers him at Harvard. Mike tries to remind Jimmy that he saved his
career and helped his Aunt — but Jimmy won’t budge, he tells Mike that there is no way that he
is going to risk going to prison and lie on the stands for him.
That night Louis receives a frantic phone call from Sheila — she is freaking out because
someone from New York tracked her down at the hotel and is asking her questions. She told the
man to mind his own business, but Sheila is paranoid. Louis gives her a pep talk and swears he
will protect her, but Sheila cuts him off and ends the phone call.
Back at the office Harvey and Mike are still fighting over their mock trial — Donna interrupts
and says she has bad news. Apparently, Lola screwed up when she was faking his Harvard
documents and she left him off one of the semester’s class rankings. Mike wants to ask Benjamin
to fix it but Harvey won’t allow it.
At the mock trial, things get ugly. Mike has Benjamin make him and Rachel a fake marriage
license and tries to argue that he and Rachel got married in Vegas and she can’t testify against
her husband. Harvey laughs at their fake marriage ploy and brings up the fact that Rachel
cheated on Mike with Sanders while she is on the witness stand.
After mock trial — Harvey, Louis, and Jessica are all arguing over whether or not they should
take the fifth when they go to the real trial. Gibbs shows up unannounced and says that since
Sheila disappeared the judge agreed to move up their trial date to tomorrow.
The next day Mike and Harvey head to Mike’s real court case and he has agreed to let Harvey
represent him. Trevor takes the stand — he confirms that Mike never went to Harvard, Harvey
cross examines Trevor and tears him apart.
Gibbs calls Donna up on the witness stand next — she questions Donna about interviewing
Mike for Harvey. Then, she flat out asks Donna if she knew whether or not Mike went to Harvard
— Donna panics and pleads the fifth amendment. TO Mike’s shock — Harvey calls Jimmy up
on the stand, he lies and says that they went to Harvard together. After he testifies, Gibbs cross
examines him, and makes him out to be a liar.
After court that night Harvey calls Mike over her drinks, Harvey tells Mike that he was wrong
and he should have let Mike be his own lawyer — that is the only way that they are going to win
this case. They need to figure out a way to convince the judge to let them switch lawyers half way
through.
Louis heads home and Gibbs is waiting for him — she says that she knows the exact day that
Louis found out Mike was a fraud, and that he used the secret to gain leverage and become a
partner at the firm. She warns Louis that they don’t have the ballet in prison, and he should call
her and cut a deal before it is too late.

court to face off against Gibbs again, they
switch roles, Mike is now representing
himself and Gibbs is NOT happy about it.
Gloria takes the witness stand and con-
firms that Mike got her son Clifford out
of prison — he was found guilty of a murder that he didn’t commit. Gloria breaks down in tears
and sobs that Clifford was shot working at a diner by a robber. She tells the court that Mike
helped get her son out of prison, and if he had been their lawyer from day one — Clifford never
would have been found guilty to begin with.
Gibbs tries to cross-examine Gloria, however she fumbles. Gloria only helps Mike’s case more
by shouting that ”Mike Ross was the only lawyer that ever gave a damn about her son.” Right
now, the ball seems to be in Mike’s court. Later that night, Rachel and Mike head home, Rachel
gives him a pep talk and promises Mike that if he tells the court his story — they will let him go —
because they will love him as much as she does. Louis is sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong
— he got a secret transcript from court, and he knows all about Mike and Harvey switching. Louis
corners Jessica, he is freaking out, he says that they are going to lose the trial and they are all
going to jail — that’s why Harvey switched places with him. Harvey knew they were going to lose
and didn’t want the loss on his record.
In court the next day Mike gives a moving closing argument — he promises the jury that if
they give him a another chance, he won’t stop squandering his gift as a lawyer and he will start
helping people again, instead of helping greedy companies get more money. Gibbs gets up and
gives an equally eloquent closing argument — reminding the jury that if everyone just became a
lawyer because they wanted to and didn’t go to college, the world would be a horrible place.
After court, Mike is panicking — he is certain that the jurors were swayed by Gibbs’ speech.
The jurors leave to decide Mike’s fate. But, Mike refuses to leave the courtroom. He tells Harvey

203
 Suits Episode Guide

that he isn’t getting out of his seat until the jury comes back with a verdict. Rachel tries to
convince him to leave but he refuses, so she goes off to find them some lunch nearby.
Harvey heads back to the office, he tells Jessica that he doesn’t think it looks good — and
they need to find grounds to call a mistrial ASAP. Harvey knows that if a mistrial is called, Gibbs
doesn’t have enough pull to take it back to court again Harvey tries to get the list of jurors from
Donna, she shouts at him that she isn’t getting her friend Stephanie to break the law and give
them the list of jurors.
Louis overhears Donna and Harvey arguing — Donna confesses to Louis that Harvey wanted
her to get the list of jurors but she said no. Louis shouts at her to just do it, Harvey needs a
mistrial because he obviously thinks that are going to lose.
Back at the court, Mike overhears a man named Mr Diaz arguing with the DA. The DA is
trying to bully him in to taking a deal and doing 5 years in prison just for trying to sell TV’s off
the back of his delivery truck. Mike steps in and offers to be Diaz’s lawyer — he warns him that
he can get a much better deal. Diaz hires him, and Mike gets his case file to look over while he is
waiting for the jury to come back.
Meanwhile, Harvey is scheming. He tracks down Gibbs’ right hand David — and reminds him
that Mike Ross took the LSAT’s for him and if the truth comes out, he will lose his license to
practice law. Harvey blackmails David in to going to the court house cafeteria and waiting for
one of the jurors to come in — then he wants David to sit down and have coffee with them, if a
member of Gibbs’ team is fraternizing with the jurors then it will be grounds for a mistrial.
Rachel and Mike spent all day going over Diaz’s case files — now it is time for Diaz’s court
date. Mike manages to have the case dismissed, he found that the police got the search warrant
illegally. After Mike helps Diaz, he tracks down Gibbs in her office. He tries to cut a deal with
her — he agrees to plead guilty as long as she agrees to not go after anyone at Pearson Spector.
Gibbs laughs and refuses to cut a deal — she scoffs that she doesn’t need to because she knows
the jury will find her guilty.
Later that night, Louis shows up at Gibbs’ office — he wants to talk deals with her. Gibbs says
that she needs PROOF that Harvey knew Mike Ross was a fraud. When Louis says he doesn’t
have any physical proof, she basically laughs him out of the office, and refuses to talk deals with
him. Meanwhile back at the firm Harvey gets bad news — David never did what he told and didn’t
tamper with any of the jurors, so they aren’t going to get the mistrial.
Louis heads back to the firm and attacks Harvey — he screams at him that he hired a fraud
and they are all going to pay for it. Harvey screams back at Louis and shouts ”So What I Hired a
Fraud!” Little does Harvey know, Louis is recording their entire conversation, so now he has the
proof that Gibbs wants. Louis heads to Jessica’s office and tries to get her to roll over on Harvey
with him — but she refuses, and says that he is ”despicable.”
Meanwhile, Gibbs shows up at Mike’s house to counter the deal that he tried to make with
her. Gibbs says that if he doesn’t do at least two years of jail time — then she is going after at
least one of his partners. After Gibbs leaves, Mike and Rachel have a screaming match — she
doesn’t want Mike to take the deal, she thinks that the jury is going to find them innocent.
Harvey shows up on Donna’s doorstep and he is distraught — he just got in a fight with David,
who said that he is a bully. Harvey says that he wants to turn himself in, to save everyone, Donna
cries and shouts at Harvey that he doesn’t have to be the hero and fall on his own sword — she
doesn’t want to lose him.
Early the next morning Mike gets a phone call from the prosecutor of the DA case, he slips
out of bed early and rushes to court. He is determined to finish helping Diaz before the verdict
comes in from his own case and he might lose his license. After his meeting, Mike is inspired by
Diaz agreeing to testify against his own friends to save his own ass — and he rushes off.
Back at the courtroom, Rachel learns that the jury came in with their verdict, and they will
find out in exactly one hour. When Harvey realizes that Mike hasn’t come back, he bolts for the
elevator — he is trying to stop Mike before it is too late. Mike marches in to Gibbs’ office and
announces that he is going to take the deal.

Summary: As Mike’s day of reckoning draws near, it threatens to shatter the lives
of those closest to him. Faced with the uncertain outcome of his court
battle, Mike makes the one play he has left.

The episode kicks off with Mike negotiat-

ing a deal with Gibbs — he agrees to do
two years in prison. He comes out of the
room and Harvey is waiting for him, Mike
confirms that he took the deal and is go-
ing to prison for two years.
Harvey is furious, he says that there
is no way that he is going to let Mike take
the deal and the judge hasn’t finalized it
yet. Meanwhile, Rachel is panicking, she
can’t believe that Mike just signed away
two years of their future. Harvey rushes
to the court room to stop Gibbs from
telling the judge that they made a deal. Donna shows up at the court as Rachel is leaving —
she tells Donna that Mike took the deal.
In the judges’ chambers, Harvey is trying to get Gibbs’ deal thrown out, but Gibbs argues that
the deal is solid and she and Mike both signed it. Mike arrives and tells Harvey to let it go. He
signed the deal, he wants the deal, and he is taking it. The judge tells Mike that he has 72 hours
and then he has to surrender himself to prison.
Outside of court Gloria, the mother of Mike’s friend (she testified on his behalf) is waiting for
him. She is worried — she can’t believe that he took the deal, she warns him that he will never
survive two years in prison. Mike won’t listen, he says he has to go and find Rachel.
Robert Zane is livid when he learns that Mike is going to prison and his daughter Rachel is
broken hearted. He is determined to blame Harvey and Jessica pay. Robert corners Louis and
warns him that he is starting a shit-storm to make everyone at the firms’ lives a living hell. Louis
laughs that there is a non-compete order, and no one at the firm is going to help Robert. But,
Zane reveals that there is a way around the non-compete orders, and Louis’ old pal Katrina told
him the way around it.
Meanwhile, Harvey is on a mission — he needs to know what the verdict was going to be and
whether Mike would have went to prison if he hadn’t taken the deal. Harvey tracks down one of
the members of the jury — and is shocked to hear that they had decided Mike was not guilty,

205
 Suits Episode Guide

because Gibbs did not make a solid case. If Mike had just had faith in himself and Harvey and
went back to the court room and got the verdict — he would be free right now.
Harvey heads back to his office, Gloria corners him and tells him that she is worried about
Mike, she knows he won’t survive in prison. Harvey blows her off and storms in to his office.
Mike arrives — he is upset, Harvey lies and tells him that he talked to a member of the jury and
he confirmed the verdict was guilty. Mike is relieved because he believes that he did the right
thing taking the deal. Mike heads home so he can spend the last two days before he checks in to
prison with Rachel — he tells her that the jury was going to find him guilty, and they have sex
on the sofa. Rachel announces that she wants to marry Mike before he goes to prison.
In Jessica’s office, she gets a visit from Jack — he turns in his resignation papers and says
that he is going to go work at Robert Zane’s office. Jessica is furious, she tries to blackmail him
but Jack laughs in her face. She can’t expose him for what he did, because she will just be
admitting that yet another one of her lawyers committed another crime while on her watch.
Harvey and Donna are up in his office going through all of the paperwork from Mike’s trial —
he is trying to find anything that they can use to appeal the case. Tensions are running high and
Donna and Harvey are bickering. Donna has a theory. She thinks that they should work with
Gibbs, and trade Liberty Rail for Mike’s freedom.
Jessica has a chat with Robert Zane — she tries to sue him for taking Jack from her. Robert
laughs that they violated the non compete clause, one of the senior partners committed a crime
by conspiring to commit fraud with Mike. Katrina has a recording of Louis admitting that he
knew that Mike was a fraud — so they have proof. Jessica is furious, she tells Louis to deal with
it ASAP. Louis pays Katrina a visit and threatens to expose her for forging a document for him
when they worked together if she doesn’t destroy the recording.
The next morning Mike Ross is on a mission. He is trying to get Rachel’s parents to come to
their shot gun wedding. Obviously, Robert is not having it. Mike begs Rachel’s mom to try and
get her husband on board before they say their ”I do’s” — wants them there to support Rachel.
Harvey is trying to work a miracle. He visits Evan and begs her for the Liberty Rail case so
that he can try to trade it for Mike. Evan agrees to give it up, if she gets access to any of the
partners at the firm she wants, and any clients she wants. Harvey goes back to Jessica and
somehow manages to convince her to agree to Evan’s terms for the off chance that he might be
able to strike a deal with Gibbs at the last minute.
Harvey pays Gibbs a visit at her office, he tries to give her the Liberty Rails case and tells
her that she will get dozens of murderers over measly little Mike Ross. But, Gibbs won’t take the
deal. She says that the only way he can save Mike is by taking his place and going to prison
for him. Harvey heads home and gets drunk, he and Mike wind up in a screaming match and
start beating the crap out of each other in Harvey’s kitchen. Harvey reveals that Mike would was
going to be found guilty. They both wind up lying on the floor, and crying like large man-babies.
Meanwhile, back at the office — Evan is gutting Jessica’s team. She just lost half of her firm for
a deal that Gibbs wouldn’t even take.
The next morning it is time for Rachel and Mike’s big day — everyone gathers at the church,
even Rachel’s parents show up to support her, although they are not happy. Mike is an emotional
wreck. Right before the ceremony starts, he takes Rachel aside and tells her that he can’t take
away her future. He tells Rachel that he wants her to live her life, finish school, and become a
lawyer — and when he gets out in two years, if she still loves him then they can be together.
Mike leaves the church and Harvey is waiting for him outside. They ride to the prison together,
Harvey gives him a pep talk and they say their goodbyes before Mike surrenders himself and
becomes an official inmate.

Summary: Mike transitions to prison life; and Harvey and the others cope with
the fallout of Mike’s plea deal and try to stop what’s left of PSL from
collapsing.

The episode kicks off with Michael Ross

being checked into prison, they shave his
head and read him the rules, then they
tell him to strip naked for a cavity search
and turn over his stuff.
Rachel arrives at home, Harvey is
waiting for her at her door. He tells
her that he dropped Mike off at the
prison, they both miss him already. Har-
vey heads upstairs with Rachel to have a
drink and they reminisce over how they
met Mike.
At the office, Louis is having a melt-
down because their entire staff and all of their partners walked out. Louis tells Donna to call
Harvey ASAP. Donna and Jessica both refuse to call Harvey, they say that he needs to be alone
after Mike went to prison.
Louis ignores them and heads to his office and leaves Harvey a frantic voicemail. Harvey
listens to the message, he and Rachel rush to the office to try and figure out a plan to save the
firm.
Harvey arrives, he and Louis bicker over whose fault it is that everyone walked out. A Chi-
nese delivery guy arrives, they’re all confused because no one ordered food. It’s just a ruse, he
announce that he is there to serve Jessica papers. They are being sued, it’s a class act lawsuit,
for every case that Mike Ross ever touched.
Donna manages to come up with a list of where all the partners went — Jessica and Louis
get to work filing papers to sue all of them for breach of contract. Harvey rushes downstairs to
catch the fake Chinese delivery guy and pays him $5,000 to say that he didn’t deliver the lawsuit
papers until two hours later to give them time to their partners.
In her office, Rachel calls the prison to check on Mike. The guard refuses to give her any
information because she is not a relative. She argues that they were supposed to be married
today. Meanwhile, Mike is busy taking his psych evaluation before they put him in with the
other inmates.
Louis and Harvey are not working well together, they nearly come to blows arguing over whose
fault it is that they wound up in this mess. Rachel barges in and screams at them that she just

209
 Suits Episode Guide

watched the man that she loves go to jail so that they didn’t have to — and they should be
embarrassed by the way that they are behaving.
Harvey wants to walk, Louis takes Jessica aside and tells her that he thinks they should let
Harvey go and then he and Jessica can start their own new firm together. Jessica isn’t thrilled
by the idea, and Louis is offended, he whines that all she ever cared about was her ”precious
Harvey.” Jessica shouts at him that the ship has sunk, and now she is trying to muster up
enough courage to pull it back up out of the ocean.
Donna refuses to let Harvey leave the office. She shouts at him that he is making the biggest
mistake of his life, and he is just giving up what Mike just went to prison to save. Harvey is
obviously moved by Donna’s powerful speech and reconsiders his options.
After his psych evaluation and an intense argument with the prison psychologist, Mike Ross
is finally sent in with the other inmates. A guard shows him to his cell and tells him that he can’t
leave for the rest of the night. It looks like the reality is starting to finally sink in, and Mike is
officially a prisoner.
Harvey heads back inside, he finds Jessica and Rachel having a heart to heart. He apologizes
to her, then says that he is ready to talk business and figure out how to get the hell out of this
mess. Jessica says she has some weed in her office, and says it is time for them to sit down with
Louis and smoke a peace pipe.
They head to Louis’s office and find him talking to his dead secretary’s ashes in her urn. After
some peer pressure and a mishap with the ashes, Louis finally agrees to smoke with them.
Meanwhile in prison, Mike meets his new roommate, an inmate named Frank Gallo. They stay
up all night talking about what they were arrested for. It turns out Frank is a bit of a con man
too and they have a lot in common, they both started out poor and started breaking the law to
take care of their families. Frank was caught insider trading. Frank offers to let Mike use his
secret phone to call Rachel, but he declines.
Donna finds Rachel in the file room, she’s having a meltdown over Mike. Rachel says that she
called the prison and they wouldn’t give her any information because they aren’t legally married.
Rachel can’t even visit Mike for at least a month. The tech guy, Benjamin, interrupts their heart
to heart chat and tells them that they have a problem — they are being hacked.
Louis, Jessica, and Harvey all write down how much money they each have to their names —
so they know how much they have in their ”war chest.” Jessica and Harvey are shocked when
they realize that Louis has more money than them. He whines that he isn’t going to ”carry their
asses.”
While they are bickering over their funds, Donna rushes in, she says that their computers are
all being hacked. The partners didn’t just walk, they are stealing all of their clients’ info too.
They put their heads together, and realize that the partners aren’t trying to steal their clients,
they are trying to steal back their buy-ins before the firm goes bottom up. Louis has a plan, they
can use the other partners that walked money to settle the class action lawsuit. If the money is
gone, then they won’t be able to sue to get it back. Jessica says that Louis’ plan is genius!
Mike changes his mind and decides to text Rachel before he goes to sleep and let her know
that he is okay.
Jessica, Louis, Harvey, Donna, and Rachel have a drink and cheers to their game plan. It
looks like the firm might be okay after all — once they settle the lawsuit they are going to start
over fresh. Rachel reads the text out loud to everyone.
Frank stands up to leave the cell — apparently he isn’t Mike’s roommate after all, he bribed
the guard to let him in to Mike’s room because he has an axe to grind with Harvey. Frank laughs
that now he has his girlfriend’s phone number, then he leaves the cell.

Louis says that he hired movie extras to make it seem like the firm was still doing well. Jessica
tells him to send them home ASAP.
Rachel shows up at the prison to visit Mike and they won’t let her in. Apparently after his
altercation, they suspended his visitor priveledges for 2 weeks. Mike meets with the prison coun-
selor, Frank played him again, and he lied and never had any photos of Rachel. So, Mike looks

him that he talked to Harvey, and he’s not safe.

are about to agree to the terms, a man named Elliot barges in and interrupts, he says that he
represents an insurance agency that wasn’t included in the class-action lawsuit. The judge gives
him 24 hours to present his evidence. After court Louis curses Elliot out — apparently Jack sent
him to botch the deal because he wants the money.
Harvey heads to the prison and tells Mike that he pulled strings and Shawn is trying to move
Frank. Mike demands to know what happened between him and Frank. Harvey confesses that
Frank was going to jail for conspiracy to commit murder and he is dangerous, they lost the
evidence so they sent him to jail for racketeering instead.

are going to be completely screwed.

off Elliot, Elliot laughs that he didn’t come for money — he came to take something far more

wall, or he wants $20 Million. Harvey puts up a fight, then he reluctantly lets Elliot have his
prized painting.

Louis heads to work, he meets someone in the elevator and realizes they are going to the same
floor. The guy makes fun of Louis suit and swears at him and calls him a ”doosch bag.” He tells
Louis that he runs the investment firm. And, there are about 30 more young and loud guys with
him — Louis screwed up, badly. And, they have an 18 month lease.
Jessica marches in to Harvey’s office and demands to know why he turned down William
Sutter, he was a $2 Billion client. Harvey says that he doesn’t want to get caught up with any
more criminals. Jessica tells him he has 48 hours to land a different client then, one that is
worth as much money, because the firm is sinking fast.
Harvey pays Nathan Burns a visit. Nathan taunts him and said he knew it was only a matter
of time before Harvey showed up begging for work since his partners walked out. Nathan tells
Harvey that if he wants a chance to represent his company, then he wants Harvey to ”shove so
many restraining orders up Lockwood Energy’s ass that they can’t breathe” before their dinner
reservations that night. Harvey leaves to get to work and prove to Nathan that he is good for the
job.
Meanwhile, Louis and his new tenants are having a tough time living under the same roof.

office and informs them that they are in violation of the lease, it strictly says right in their lease
that they can’t drink his prune juice or eat his bran bars. He threatens to evict them if they do it
again. A few hours later Louis catches the traders playing touch football and evicts them.

move Frank Gallo to a different prison because he has ”friends in high places.” Shawn reveals
that Frank is a criminal informant on an FBI case. Harvey rushes down to the prison to fill Mike
in — he tells Mike that Gallo cut a deal, and he is an informant.
Nathan Burns cancels his dinner reservations with Harvey. Donna and Harvey think that
William Sutter is behind it. Harvey cuts a deal with the stock traders in their office, he tells them
that they can stay if they help him. Sure enough, William Sutter bought a huge chunk of stocks
in Nathan’s company. Harvey buys a few stocks too. He marches down to Nathan’s office and
tells him that he can either hire him to fight William for him, or else Harvey will be working for
William and Nathan won’t stand a chance.
At the prison, Mike corners Frank in the prison yard and tells him that he knows he is an
informant. He proposes a truce, or else Mike will tell everyone that he is a rat.
Harvey meets up with William Sutter and tells him that he is working for Nathan Burns.
William scoffs that his firm will be out of business by the end of the quarter. Harvey says that he
will never get involved with a ”shady piece of shit like him” and walks off.
Jessica is thrilled that Harvey signed Nathan Burns — she tells Harvey to put some music
on because they are ”back on the map.” While they are celebrating, Shawn Cahill interrupts, he
says that he can get Mike out of jail, but he has to rat out his roommate Kevin.

different ways of dealing with their new tenants; and Rachel represents
a death-row inmate.

The episode kicks off with Mike in prison.

Harvey pays him a visit and tells him that
Cahill found a way for him to get out
of prison — all he has to do is rat out
his cellmate, Kevin. Mike isn’t having it,
Kevin is his only friend in prison and has
had his back. Mike has another plan, he
thinks he found a loophole and can get
Gallo paroled, that way he won’t have to
worry about hiding from him anymore.
At the office, Louis is still fighting with
the stock traders that they rented the of-
fices out to. Apparently, they used his
coffee mugs for their urine samples for drug tests, and Louis is not happy about it.
Rachel is working on her death row case for law school. She visited a prison inmate that has
been sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit. Rachel fills Donna in on her work, she
feels guilty though because since she took on the case, she hasn’t been worried about Mike as
much as usual. Donna thinks it is a great thing, and she knows that Mike would want Rachel to
be distracted.
Louis tracks down Donna and tells her that he wants the stock traders evicted ASAP, he’s
furious that Harvey made a side deal with the traders and is letting them stay there. Donna
convinces Louis that they should hire an architect and remodel the offices so that he doesn’t
need to see the stock traders every day.
Mike heads back to work at the kitchen, Kevin wants to know what Harvey came to talk to
him about. Mike doesn’t have the heart to tell Kevin that Harvey wanted him to rat him out. Mike
tells Kevin that Harvey just stopped by to say that he couldn’t get Gallo transferred.
Harvey is running out of time, he needs to get Mike to take Cahill’s deal within the next two
days or it is off the table. Meanwhile, Jessica tells Harvey that they have another situation —
apparently the stock traders in the office are trying to dump the Sutter stock that they bought
for Harvey. Jessica says that she will take care of it.
Mike calls Rachel later that night to check in on her. She is excited to tell him about the
wrongful imprisonment case that she is working on. He agrees to help her with the case from

217
 Suits Episode Guide

behind the bars. Then, Mike has Rachel transfer him to Donna. Mike tells Donna that he is not
taking the deal — he wants her to get Harvey to drop it.
Jessica confronts their tenant and demands to know why he dumped the stocks. He laughs
that it’s how Wallstreet works. He agrees to cancel the sale if Jessica will go out to dinner with
him.
Donna tells Harvey that Mike is refusing to take Cahill’s deal. Harvey doesn’t want to hear
it. He wants to tell Rachel about the deal so that she can convince Mike to take it. Donna tells
Harvey that is not an option and he needs to leave Rachel out of it. Harvey pays Cahill a visit,
he wants Cahill to sneak in to the prison and talk to Mike himself and convince him to take the
deal.
Meanwhile in prison, Mike has a meeting with Gallo. Gallo has agreed not to harm him if Mike
is able to use a loophole in his case to get Gallo out of jail. The only thing is, the loophole that
Mike has promised to find is a long shot.
At the office, Louis hires the architect on the spot. Pam Messer is a pretty woman, and Louis
is so smitten with her, he can barely string together full sentences. Pam mentions that her office
would love to sublet from Louis — it’s a shame the stock traders are already there.
Rachel pays her law professor a visit, she’s upset because she talked to Bailey and is certain
that he is innocent. She found two boxes of prosecutor misconduct files at her professor’s office
and she wants him to look at it ASAP.
Louis barges in to Jessica’s office and tells her that she needs to kick out the traders because
he is in love with the architect. Jessica snaps at Louis that the traders are there to stay, and if
he does any remodeling to the office then she is going to throw him off the roof.
Mike is in the yard at prison and playing basketball with Kevin. Suddenly he is short of breath
and everything begins spinning. He drops to the ground and passes out, Kevin calls the guards
for help. Of course, Harvey rushes to the prison to be by Mike’s side — he accuses Gallo of
poisoning Mike in front of the entire prison. Gallo denies it, and he’s telling the truth, because
Harvey and Cahill are actually the ones that orchestrate the ”poisoning.”
Mike wakes up in the back of an SUV with Harvey, he’s dazed and confused. Harvey explains
that he had Mike drugged, Cahill had the warden and the prison guard in on it. He got him out
for a few hours to take him to see Rachel. Harvey knew that if Mike saw Rachel, then Mike would
change his mind and decide to take the deal so that he could get out of prison.
Meanwhile back at the office, Jessica is still battling with the traders. She pulls some strings
to get one of their capitals to tank and prove to them that she is not one to be messed with. They
bury the hatchet, Jessica agrees to represent the traders as their lawyer as long as they stop
harassing Louis.
Louis pays his architect Pam a visit at her office. He tells her that he has bad news, they can’t
move forward with the renovations. He offers to pay her out of his own pocket for any work that
she has already done. She shows him the drawings that she did of the office and the new bull
pen that she was planning for him. Louis so impressed, he hires her to remodel his house so that
he can still see her.
Cahill shows up at Rachel’s apartment in a huff, he wants to speak to Mike ASAP, he and
Harvey get in a fight and Harvey is about to punch him in the face. Mike walks outside and
interrupts, he announced that he has made a decision and he is going to take the deal and rat
Kevin out so that he can get out of prison.

is a problem with the paperwork and Gallo gives Mike his cellphone to take care of it. Kevin

that would be Harvey. Harvey puts Rachel on the job and tells her to take care of the paperwork.
After work, Rachel heads to Prof. Dunbar’s office. She tells him about her meeting with Bailey.

this case. Rachel announces that she is going to get her funding, and have the lawyers at her
firm oversee it as a pro-bono case.

to need to find a trader association willing to bankroll, Sutter. Harvey plans on enlisting the help
of the traders that they rented their office space out to. Meanwhile, Rachel approaches Jessica
and asks her for help with the Bailey case. Jessica informs Rachel that she has bigger problems
to deal with than a pro-bono death row case.
Mike gets a meeting with the prison warden — he warns Mike that these kind of deals that
he is trying to maneuver don’t always turn out well. He basically tells Mike that he is making a
huge mistake. The warden reluctantly agrees to help Mike convince Kevin that he left the prison
and went to the hospital. The warden wakes Kevin up in the middle of the night and demands to
know what he knows about Mike going to the hospital.
Jessica is now officially the stock trader’s lawyer. She takes a proposition to Stu, a written up
proposal to bankroll Sutter’s trades while his license is being suspended. Jessica reassures him
that it is a good business proposition, and he will make a lot of money off from it.

trades will go through Stu’s investment group. The judge arrives, Harvey announces that Sutter
is no longer trading through his license. Cahill tries to get Stu’s license suspended too, but the
judge isn’t having it. It looks like Harvey has won this battle.
After court, Harvey heads to the prison to meet with Gallo. He explains to him that he is his
lawyer again, he is the only one that can file the motions in person to get Gallo a parole hearing.
Harvey tells Gallo that until the papers go through, then he owes Harvey a favor, and he has to
protect Mike.
Mike heads back to his cell, Kevin tries to talk to him about their argument. Kevin explains
that he hasn’t told anyone anything about his case, it’s nothing personal. He finally confesses
to Mike that he got into a fight with his wife. It was bad, then he went out and got drunk, then

for 3 years.
Tonight’s episode ends with Jessica cornering Rachel. She announces that she had a change
of heart, she is going to take on Bailey’s pro-bono case. She thinks it will be good for publicity —
since no one wants to hire them.
Harvey returns to his office to find Cahill waiting for him — he is NOT happy with Harvey.

his own. In other events, Jessica and Rachel try to delay Leonard’s
execution; and Louis adjusts to life as ”the other man.”

The episode picked up where we left off

last week — Harvey is furious, he barges
in to Jessica’s office and announces that
the DA pulled Mike’s deal. Jessica tells
Harvey that if there is no more deal for
Mike, then he is no longer throwing Sut-
ter’s case, and he needs to kill Cahill in
court.
The next day, William Sutter’s trial
kicks off. Cahill makes his opening state-
ments in court. Harvey is not playing
any more games with Cahill. He asks the
judge for a three-day extension because
Cahill announced that he had a new witness — Phillip Allen.
Jessica and Rachel head to prison to give Leonard Bailey more bad news. They found the
witness, Maria Gomez, and she is dead. Now, they are back to square one, and they need more
time to find another witness. Leonard has a sick Aunt named Harriett, Jessica and Rachel are
going to try to use her illness to get an extension on his execution. The only problem is, Harriet
disowned Leonard years ago, and he hasn’t spoken to her since.
In prison, Mike is having breakfast in the cafeteria. Kevin joins him and Mike apologizes again
for contacting his wife. The two roomies make amends, and then Gallo interrupts their breakfast.
Mike reassures Gallo that he and Harvey are working on his parole case. Gallo doesn’t want to
hear it, he’s out of time, he tells Mike he has until 6:00 PM tonight.
Rachel shows up on Harriet’s doorstep and says that she is working on Leonard’s case. Harriet
isn’t really interested in hearing about Leonard’s case — she says that he is ”no good.” She tries
to shut the door in Rachel’s face, but Rachel convinces her to sign a request for the judge to
delay the execution.
Louis arrives at the office and Donna can’t wait to hear about his date the night before. He
reveals that Tara dropped a bomb on him and revealed that she has a boyfriend and she is in an

229
 Suits Episode Guide

”open relationship.” Donna thinks that he shouldn’t give up yet, if she went out on a date with
Louis, then that means she isn’t happy in her ”open relationship.”
Mike calls Harvey’s office, he is panicking. Mike wants to know what is up with Gallo’s parole.
Donna confesses that Harvey never did any work on Gallo’s case because he thought Mike was
getting out of prison. Donna reveals that Mike’s deal is gone, and Mike freaks out on the phone.
If he doesn’t get Gallo his parole hearing, then he will tell Kevin that Mike is an informant.
Meanwhile, Rachel returns to the office and she gives Jessica the paperwork that she needs
to delay Leonard’s execution. Rachel is a bit shaken up though, she is beginning to wonder if
she and Jessica are right about Leonard — even his own Aunt thinks that he is a cold-blooded
murderer.
Jessica heads to court to see the judge to ask for an extension for Leonard, she has an
awkward run-in with her ex Jeff.
Meanwhile, Harvey is still fighting Cahill ad his new witness. He meets with Cahill and his
witness Phillip Allen. Allen confirms that he was giving Sutter insider trade secrets. But, Harvey
points out that Phillip never actually spoke to William Sutter, he was giving the information to
Sutter’s daughter Will.
After their heated meeting, Cahill and Harvey argue in the bathroom. Cahill realizes that
Harvey just made his star witness useless, unless he gets Jill to testify against her father, and
that means he will need Mike and his roomie Kevin too. Mike might get his deal back after all.
In prison, Mike corners Kevin in the kitchen and tries to get him to call Jill and get her to cut
a deal. Kevin brushes him aside and wants to know why Mike and Harvey are so interested in
his wife cutting a deal. Mike confesses to Kevin that if he gets his wife to cut a deal, then they
are going to let Mike out early. Kevin freaks out and attacks Mike when he realizes that Mike has
gone informant on him, they throw Kevin in solitary after the guard break up the fight.
Jessica and Rachel head back to prison and tell Leonard that they were able to buy him more
time and push back his execution date. Leonard is still upset, he doesn’t care about his execution
date, he’s upset because Rachel didn’t convince his Aunt that he was innocent. Leonard snaps
at Jessica that she doesn’t care about him, all she cares about is her fancy office. Afterwards,
Jessica is pretty upset — so she invites Jeff to go out to dinner with her so that they can talk.
Mike meets with Gallo in the bathroom. Mike tells Gallo that he and Harvey will get him his
parole meeting like they discussed, but on one condition, Gallo needs to pull some strings and
get Kevin out of solitary. Mike finally gets to talk to Kevin — and he tries to convince him to call
his wife Jill and get her to take Cahill’s deal. Meanwhile, Donna is working on Kevin’s wife Jill,
she pays her a visit at her house and tells her she needs to go back to the prison and see Kevin
and Mike again.
Louis heads out on a dinner date with Tara. He has a full blown meltdown in the restaurant
and shouts that he can’t share her with another man. Tara is apparently turned on by his passion
and they head back to her apartment to make love. The next day, Louis takes a shower, when he
comes out of the bathroom Tara has bad news — she says that her boyfriend just called and he
is coming to town.
Harvey pays Sutter a visit, he records their conversation, and records Sutter saying that his
daughter Jill owes him for the lavish lifestyle he gave her for her whole life, and he is going to let
her go to prison for a few years, rather than him. Harvey and Mike take play the recording for Jill
and Kevin. She’s so hurt by what her father said, she agrees to cut a deal with Mike and testify
against her father.
The next day Mike meets with Cahill with all of the necessary paperwork — his deal is back
in motion, and Mike is going to get out of prison after all.
Harvey meets with Sutter, and Sutter is furious that Harvey sold him out and got Jill to turn
on him. Harvey scoffs that he will never be able to prove it. And, he leaves a deal with Sutter
from the DA office. Harvey recommends he signs the deal, now that Jill is testifying against him,
he doesn’t stand a chance in court.
Donna finds Rachel working late at night in the office, she invites Rachel out for drinks to
celebrate. Rachel is a little confused — Donna tells her that Mike and Harvey did it, they got
Sutter behind bars, and Mike is coming home. Rachel cries tears of joy.

surprised to see Harvey, he’s supposed to
get out later that afternoon. Harvey tells
Mike that he needs to sit tight and keep
his wits about him, he is going to be in
prison for a few more days. Apparently,
Cahill called and there was a problem
with his release.
At the office, Rachel and Jessica are working on Leonard Bailey’s case. Rachel thinks that she
may have found a precedent that could help them getting Leonard released. Jessica is impressed
with her research. Mike heads back to his cell, Kevin is freaking out — Cahill apparently seized
all of his wife’s assets, even money that she made not through her father’s inside trading. Now
his family is stuck without any money. He tells Mike that he needs to fix it ASAP, he is the one
that convinced them to take the deal in the first place.
As Harvey is leaving the prison, he runs in to Gallo. Harvey tells him that he filed his paper-
work. But, Gallo better keep up his end of the bargain and keep offering Mike protection.
Mike calls Cahill and demands to know what he is doing. Cahill says that Kevin’s wife Jill made
that money by stealing from hardworking people. He has a personal grudge because Sutter’s
company took his mother for everything she was worth.

not a credible witness, but Jessica won’t hear it. Jessica and Rachel head to meet with the judge

Jack is furious, he’s disgusted that Harvey is helping a psychopath get free, he says that he is
going to the Parole meeting and he is going to play the recording they have that proves that Gallo
is murderer.
Mike is furious with Cahill, he decides that since Cahill is taking Kevin and his wife’s money
and not keeping up his end of the deal — then he is going to find a way to get Kevin out of prison
too. He talks to Kevin and realizes that Cahill screwed up, he went out of his jurisdiction when
Kevin was arrested, he had no business even touching his case. Mike meets with Cahill and
threatens to go public with what he just figured out, it could cost Cahill the entire case. Cahill
shouts at Mike that he is taking his deal back and Mike can sit in prison and rot too. Meanwhile,
Harvey heads to
Meanwhile, Harvey heads to Gallo’s hearing and his former co-worker Cameron Dennis shows
up as promised to sabotage the hearing. He tells the parole board that Gallo has not changed and
the only reason Harvey is helping him is because Gallo is blackmailing Harvey. Harvey argues
that it’s not true and still tries to get Gallo cut loose. The Parole Board wants Harvey to swear
under oath that Gallo is a changed man, tomorrow.
Afterwards, Harvey heads to the prison. He learns that Mike is going after Cahill for ”Abuse
Of Power.” Harvey tells him that he is insane, and he just needs to take his deal, and keep his
mouth shut until he is out. Mike says that he isn’t going to drop it until Cahill does the right
thing and gets Kevin out of jail too. Harvey leads the prison and meets up with Cameron, he tells
him about Mike and Gallo, and begs him to drop his allegations in front of the Parole board so
that Gallo will get out and Mike will be safe. Cameron won’t hear it, he tells Harvey to do the
right thing, and the right thing is NOT putting Gallo out on the streets.
The DA Larry pays Jessica a visit at her office. She wants to cut a deal, Larry offers Leonard
Bailey 7 years. Jessica points out that the case is going to make the DA’s office a mockery. And,
she’s going to re-open it unless Larry agrees to cut Bailey loose now. Larry points out that if they
lose — Bailey will be put to death in 60 days.
The next day, Harvey heads back to the Parole meeting, he is surprised to see Cameron call
Mike up on the stand. Mike tells the Parole Board that Gallo has been blackmailing him and
HARvey and Gallo even tried to kill him. It doesn’t look like Gallo will be getting parolled, and he
is furious. He tells Mike that he will regret it — but Mike scoffs that he is getting out of prison
that day an there is nothing that Gallo can do to him.
After court, Harvey confronts Cameron and demands to know wy he put Mike in danger by
making him testify. Cameron reveals that Mike called him, he told him all about his deal and
Cahill’s abuse of power. And, Cameron pulled some strings and got them both released.
Jessica and Rachel meet with Leonard Bailey. Jessica tries to convince Leonard to take the
deal. Leonard says that he doesn’t care if he dies, he wants to prove that he is innocent, and he’ll
take the chance to prove that he is an innocent man.

it is time for Kevin to be released, but Mike is staying. Harvey freaks out and goes straight to
Cahill’s office and demands to know what happened. Cahill says that Mike wanted to stay in
prison — and apparently he has some sort of plan.
Like clockwork, as soon as lights are out, Gallo sneaks in to Mike’s cell to kill him. He pulls a
knife on Mike, then realizes that Mike set up a hidden camera and was recording everything. The
guards rush in and take down Gallo — he won’t be getting out of jail for a very, very long time.

Summary: Harvey tries to repair a broken relationship, leaving Louis, Donna and
Rachel to manage PSL in his absence. Meanwhile, Mike gets a helping
hand from an unexpected place.

Following Donna’s advice, Harvey trav-

els to Boston to make amends with his
mother Lily. As we find out through
flashbacks, Harvey hasn’t seen or spo-
ken to his mother since his father’s fu-
neral, where they exchanged some very
harsh words when Lily’s partner Bobby,
the man with whom she had an affair,
showed up at the wake. So, Lily is pleas-
antly surprised when Harvey shows up
at her art studio ready to make amends.
Unfortunately, she can’t have dinner that
night because it’s her students’ art show,
so they make plans to meet the next night
at his brother Marcus’ restaurant.
Since Harvey’s in town for the first time in ages, Marcus insists Harvey stay with him and his
family. The next night, Harvey meets his mother for dinner. This shouldn’t come as a surprise,
but the dinner’s pleasant beginning doesn’t last long. Harvey starts off by saying he forgives her
for what she did, but then it turns rather combative when Lily says she forgives Harvey for their
last encounter and his absence all of these years. Harvey is taken aback that Lily thought he
needed forgiveness. Soon enough, they start throwing insults back at each other, and the dinner
ends with Harvey storming off.
After his conversation with Marcus, Harvey visits his mother and admits that he’s tired of
being angry and they actually make amends. Standing in her studio, Harvey starts to tear up as
he remembers how much he misses her duck painting.
Harvey returns to New York a less angry person (and with the painting) and stops by Louis’
office to apologize for his outburst and thank him for holding down the fort while he was gone.
Harvey proposes that he and Louis act as co-managing partners, which could either be the worst
or best idea.
While Harvey’s in Boston, Mike is busy acclimating to his new job. Yes, our little fraud has
found a job. And not just any job, but one at the legal clinic he visited in last week’s episode.
Nathan, who runs said legal clinic, shows up at Mike’s apartment to offer him a job because

239
 Suits Episode Guide

he was impressed by Mike’s work on past cases and by the fact that he was honest on his job
application. But, more importantly, Mike’s past means Nathan doesn’t have to pay him well at
all to supervise all of the lawyers and law students at the clinic.
Nathan neglects to tell everyone at the clinic about Mike’s past, so pretty much everyone
just thinks he’s a former Pearson Specter Litt lawyer who couldn’t handle corporate life and is
slumming it there until he can return. His biggest opponent is Marissa, a very confident law
student who refuses Mike’s help on a case she’s working on. Mike spends most of the episode
trying to work with her and win her respect.
Realizing he won’t succeed at this job unless his subordinates respect him, Mike decides to
come clean about his time spent pretending to be a lawyer. It’s a big gambit, but it convinces
them that Mike is actually there to help people and is not just another corporate lawyer. Marissa
comes to Mike with a clever plan to save a woman from getting evicted from her apartment for
not paying rent because the landlord refused to address the apartment’s many issues, but alas,
it fails in court, and the judge grants landlord the permission to evict this woman and her child.
Seeing no other option, Mike steps up the plate and puts what little money he has where his
mouth is. He shows up at the woman’s home with a check that will cover all of the back rent
and allow her to stay in her apartment for a few more months while they continue to work on
her case. It’s a bold move, but it’s nothing we wouldn’t expect from this bleeding heart who is
desperate to make a difference in the world.

Louis on the case to investigate the company that he is supposed to be suing.
Mike pays the attorney a visit and gives her back the check. He tells her that Sofia won’t take

going to handle Sofia’s case in court. Instead, Mike is sending in Marisa, a law student. Oliver is
obviously upset, and he scoffs that Mike doesn’t have confidence in him.
Marisa comes to Mike’s office and informs him that she has to leave town because her father
is sick. So, now it looks like he has no lawyer to handle the case. Mike goes to his boss and asks
if he can sit with Oliver in trial, and he gets a resounding ”no.”

sarcasm, and doesn’t contain any of her heart or empathy.

supposed to be suing is Velocity Data, now they just have to find a legitimate reason to sue
them. Harvey drives a hard bargain, he counteroffers and agrees to the lawsuit as long as Rachel
passes her bar, AND Mike gets a chance to take the bar exam.
Louis heads to the sonogram, he did all of this worrying for nothing, the baby’s father doesn’t
even show up. Louis should be happy, but he and his girlfriend wind up getting in to a big fight.
She goes in to the sonogram by herself.

Oliver is doing well, until the opposing attorney starts throwing documents his way. Oliver gets
flustered and blows the cast, the judge dismisses it.
Benjamin won’t take no for an answer, he’s determined to make ”The Donna” a thing. Now
he’s working on giving the gadget empathetic feelings.
Later that evening, Louis visits his girlfriend at work and makes up with her.
Rachel pays Harvey a visit, she wants to know how he got her a meeting with the bar com-
mittee. Harvey admits that the guy holding up her interview was just using her as leverage. Mike
interrupts their conversation and tells Harvey that he is in. He wants to take the bar so that he
can help people, after seeing Sofia lose her case and being powerless to help her, Mike wants to
become a legitimate lawyer.

tion; Louis needs Rachel’s help impressing a client during an annual
presentation; and Donna and Benjamin refine their product.

The episode kicks off with Mike and Har-

vey chatting about their latest scheme.
They are going to sue Velocity Data for a
huge chunk of change to drive their stock
down, and in exchange, Mike will get in
to the bar exam. It’s totally illegal to sue
a company for personal gain, so Harvey
wants Mike to find a way to run it through
the legal clinic.
Louis is at home with his girlfriend
Tara, they’re looking through his old pho-
tos and yearbooks and getting to know
each other better since they rushed in to
an engagement. The next morning, Mike

on Velocity Data. He enlists the help of Oliver to dig up any dirt they can find on the company.
Meanwhile, Harvey stops by the office of the man that has agreed to get Mike in to the bar
in exchange for suing Velocity. Harvey explains that Mike is taking the case and will go to court,
but he needs to get Mike in to the bar and a certified lawyer for it all to happen.
At the office, Louis corners Harvey about their client Couture Apparel. Apparently Jessica
used to sit down with their CEO Carly Donahue every year and give them a legal analysis, and
it’s time for the analysis, and Louis and Harvey are going to have to do it themselves. Harvey
grumbles that it sounds like a ”dog and pony show” and he wants no part in it. Harvey reluctantly
agrees.
It’s not long before Oliver has the smoking gun that Mike needs against Velocity Data, claims
from employees that they were injured on the job at their Hazelton Mining Company. Mike tracks
down a man named Stamos and learns that all of the miners contracted diseases from working
down under the ground and they got less than 50,000 to split between them all. After some
pressure, he agrees to help Mike file a new lawsuit.

Rachel corners Harvey, she knows that he and Mike are up to something and she is panicking
that he is going to wind up back in prison. Harvey promises that if things start to go sour he will
pull the plug.
Nathan learns that Mike just signed several men on for a class action lawsuit at the legal
clinic and he’s not happy about it. He rants that Mike had no right to do that and they have a
pile of cases to take care of — plus the legal clinic doesn’t have the man power to take on a class
action lawsuit.
Donna and Benjamin are still working on ”The Donna.” Donna wants the gadget to be more
like her, not just repeat her phrases, but to also have Donna’s emotional intelligence.
Mike heads to Velocity Data and meets with the CEO, Palmer. Palmer reminds Mike that they
have non-disclosure agreements, and if the former employees break them, Palmer is going to take
them to court for every penny they are worth. Mike lies and tells Palmer that Pearson-Spector is
working on the case with him.
When Harvey hears that Mike dragged their firm in to it, he’s not thrilled. Mike explains that
he has over 150 men that are dying from lung cancer, and he needs his help. Harvey agrees, and
decides to let Mike use the Pearson-Spector associates.
When Nathan sees Mike and Oliver boxing up their folders and heading to Pearson to work
on the case, he is furious. Nathan and Mike exchange words in the office, Nathan can tell that
Mike is up to something shady, and he’s going to figure out what it is eventually.
Louis is upset when she learns that Harvey is helping Mike, and won’t be going with him to
the meeting with Carly Donahue. Donna gives him a pep-talk and convinces him that he should
take Katrina and Rachel with him. It looks like Katrina and Rachel will be up all night studying
Couture Apparel’s files.
In the other room, Oliver and Mike are pulling an all nighter and drafting 150 individual suits
for the class action lawsuit against Velocity Data. Palmer isn’t going to know what is going to hit
him. Mike’ starting to feel guilty about lying to everyone about the lawsuit. He heads to Harvey’s
office to vent, he explains to Harvey what happened in the court room with Oliver and why he
decided to sue Velocity so that he can get in to the bar.
Palmer is shaking in his boots after Mike and the associates file 150 individual lawsuits
against his company. He offers to settle for $100 Million, and Mike scoffs that’s not even an offer.
Later, Palmer shows up at Harvey’s office, the jig is up. Palmer did some research and learned
that Mike just got a meeting with the ethics board, he knows that they are working with Seidel
to try and bankrupt his company. And, it gets work, apparently Seidel wasn’t completely honest
with Harvey about his beef with Palmer and Velocity Data.
Katrina and Rachel put on one heck of a presentation for Louis and Carly Palmer, they actually
hire a French chef and include a 9 course meal. But, after Carly leaves, she calls Louis and says
that the firm is fired — she’s furious that Harvey didn’t show up.
Oliver knows that Mike is scamming him, he corners him and demands to know the truth
about the lawsuit. Mike finally confesses that they are doing it so that he can get in to the bar.
Louis is devastated that he lost the firm’s biggest client. He heads home and Tara has all of
her highschool yearbooks laid out and is waiting for him so that they can get to know each other
more. Louis admits that he had a bad day — Tara is all ears and tells him to spill.
Harvey show up on Seidel’s doorstep, he tells him that the deal is over. Harvey found out that
Seidel is playing him, and now he knows the truth and that Seidel is selling inside trade secrets
to try and bomb the company. Harvey tells him that he is going to make sure that Mike gets in
to the bar — or Harvey is going to turn him over to authorities.

Palmer knows what they are up to, and they have to drop the lawsuit. Mike doesn’t want to let
Stamos and his men down, he says that he is carrying on with the lawsuit and he doesn’t care
about the bar anymore.
Harvey won’t take ”no” for an answer, he’s determined to extort Seidel and find a way to keep

things are getting way too risky.

her and Benjamin’s gadget, she tells him that he will be blown away by it and to call her with an
offer.
Louis and Harvey meet up with Jerry, the shady hacker Louis has worked with in the past.
Harvey explains the situation, they are trying to track down the woman that slept with Seidel
and was blackmailing him because they need leverage. The problem is, they have no idea who
she is. Jerry announces that he knows exactly who she is, and he triples the price of his services.
Harvey pays Rachel a visit, he explains that Mike told him to pull the plug on their deal and
he won’t get in to the bar. Harvey knows that Mike will never be happy if he’s not a lawyer and
Rachel agrees, she reluctantly agrees to help Harvey with his latest scheme. He tells her to get
dressed up and meet him at an address in an hour.
Louis is freaking out, all of their clients are submitting forms to have their counts analyzed
after Couture Apparel pulled out. And, Palmer is behind it. They have no choice but to pull out of
the lawsuit. He shouts at Harvey that it is time to save the firm, they can’t risk their livelihoods
over Mike’s case, or else they won’t have an office to work at anymore.
Mike shows up at Palmer’s office, he reveals that he withdrew his application from the bar
and he is still moving forward with the lawsuit. Palmer laughs in his face, he knows that Harvey
pulled out and Mike won’t be able to carry the suit out without a big firm backing him. Palmer
offers Mike $10 Million, which is not even close to the $100 Million that Mike’s client expects.
Harvey and Rachel track down a woman named Mrs. Cromwell at a hotel bar. She’s a head
hunter, companies hire her to seduce men and convince them to sell their software to her. And,
Palmer hired her to go after Seidel’s technology. They corner Cromwell and demand to know
how many times Palmer has hired her. Harvey threatens Cromwell, if she doesn’t cooperate with
them, then he will go public with her shady business.
Stu takes Donna out for drinks — he says that he will invest in The Donna, but he wants 90%
ownership. Stu is going to invest his own money, and he warns Donna that these are the best
terms that she can get. Donna laughs in his face and says she can do way better.
Mike storms in to Harvey’s office, he’s furious that the firm pulled out of the lawsuit. Harvey
explains that they had no choice, Palmer was ruining their client base. Harvey explains that they
can still get a settlement from Palmer and Mike in to the bar, because he and Rachel tracked
down Palmer and they have leverage to blackmail him now. Mike is livid that Harvey dragged
Rachel in to this mess and screams that he had ”no right” as he storms out.
Mike heads home and confronts Rachel — he’s upset that she went behind his back and
got tangled up in Harvey’s illegal mess. She snarks that forgiveness is easier to ask for than
permission. Rachel couldn’t stand to see Mike be miserable the rest of his life because he didn’t
get in to the bar.
Donna has set up a day full of meetings for herself and Benjamin to pitch their gadget to
potential investors. She lays it on thick and gives them full-blown Donna. After the meeting,
Donna hears the investors talking — apparently they only took the meeting as a favor to Harvey,
and the investor snarks that there is no way he will ever get in to business with a secretary.
Mike has a change of heart, he meets up with Harvey first thing in the morning and tells him
that he is in. Mike wants to be a lawyer, and he doesn’t care how they do it or how many laws
they have to break. Mike and Harvey meet up with Palmer — they show him everything they have
on Cromwell, phone calls, meetings, dates, and proof that Palmer had her on his payroll. They
threaten to go to the feds, and have him arrested for corporate espionage if he doesn’t settle with
the minors and stop trying to come between Mark and the bar.
Donna is devastated by getting shot down by the investors. She tells Benjamin that she is
dissolving their partnership and doesn’t want to slow him down, Donna thinks he will be able to
get investors without her. Benjamin gives Donna a pep-talk, they are partners, and there is no
way that he is leaving her behind.
Mike shows up at Seidel’s doorstep — again. Mike explains that he needs him to get him
back in the bar, and in exchange, Harvey and Mike will make sure that he gets every penny that
Palmer owes him.
Donna swallows her pride, she pays Stu a visit and wants him to reconsider his office. She
realizes that it’s a shark tank out there, and Stu was the only potential investor that treated her
like an equal and didn’t talk down on her. Stu is happy to go in to business with her and they
shake on it.

Mike. She wakes him up with a cup of
coffee, Mike was out late last night. He
reveals that he and Harvey pulled it off,
and he is getting in to the bar, his hear-
ing is in a few days. Rachel is thrilled, but
Mike is having a bit of a moral dilemma.
He promised Oliver he would tell Nathan
the truth about using the minor’s suit to
get back in the bar. Obviously he can’t do
that, or Nathan will pull the rug out on
the whole scheme.
Louis arrives at Tara’s office, he didn’t
get a wink of sleep after their fight last
night. Tara is not happy that Louis lashed
out at her last night, she says she’s not sure she wants to be with a man that can treat her like
that. She promises she will call him and then gets back to work.
Mike heads to work and gives Nathan a check for $50,000. He’s overjoyed, it’s the most money
the clinic has ever made on one case, and now they don’t have to worry about making rent. Mike
tells Nathan that now that the lawsuit is over, he’s going to take a few days off.
Mike heads to Harvey’s office to discuss preparing for the hearing in front of the ethics com-
mittee. They get a shock when their nemesis Anita marches in to Harvey’s office. She announces
that she has just been appointed to the board of ethics, and there is no way that Mike is passing
the bar.
Mike rushes to Rachel’s office, he tells her to drop whatever she is doing, he needs her to
research if anyone has ever passed the bar without a unanimous vote. He explains that Anita
Gibbs got herself on the board, and Harvey is working on a way to get her off from it.
Donna stops by Louis’ office, she explains that she and Benjamin have brought on Stu as an
investor — but they have hit a roadblock. Apparently, their new gadget overlaps with a patent

249
 Suits Episode Guide

that someone else currently owns. Donna needs Louis’ help, and he’s thrilled to have a new
project to distract him. Donna warns Louis that her new business venture is very important to
her, and she doesn’t want Louis to blow it because he’s emotional over Tara.
Little does Louis know, it’s going to be much easier said than done. He meets with the owners
of the patent, and they have no interest in budging. Apparently, they think that Benjamin is a
hack and he stole their entire idea with his sorry excuse for a digital secretary. They serve Louis
paperwork and announce that if Benjamin and Donna move forward, they will sue them for $19
Million.
Oliver is waiting outside of Mike’s apartment. He demands to know if Mike is moving forward
with the bar. Mike confesses, and Oliver announces that he has no choice but to tell Mike about
his shady business deal to get in to the bar. Mike begs him to keep it between them, Oliver will
keep his mouth shut on one condition — he doesn’t want Mike to come back to work at the legal
clinic.
Harvey and Donna are working hard to get Anita Gibbs off the committee. She replaced Walter
Sampson at the last minute, Harvey knows that she must have dirt on him, and they are going
to have to find out what that dirt is. Harvey pays his hacker a visit to rattle him, apparently he
still hasn’t found the information they need to prove that Anita blackmailed Samson to get on
the board.
Meanwhile, Mike goes before the board for what looks like is going to be a lengthy hearing.
Anita tries to kick off the hearing by dismissing Mike’s application, but Seidel manages to sideline
her. Mike and Anita spend the afternoon going head to head. They reconvene, and Mike needs to
find a character witness for the next day.
Mike shows up at Julius’ doorstep in the middle of the night, he wants his prison therapist
to vouch for him. Julius doesn’t want any part of it, he’s sure that Mike did something shady to
even get in to the bar. Mike pleads with Julius, and tells him that he just wants to be able to help
people, he shares the story about watching a woman lose her home because he couldn’t act as
her lawyer.
Harvey and Donna are working late at night, and they still haven’t found any dirt on Walter
Samson. Donna thinks it’s time for Harvey to pay Samson a visit and just bluff that he has info.
He confesses to Donna that he’s scared he will screw up Mike’s one chance to get in the bar.
Harvey pays Walter Samson a visit and confronts him — he demands to know why he gave
up his seat on the board to Anita Gibbs. Walter claims that he just took time off from work to
spend time with his family, and he had never met Anita until the day he appointed her as his
replacement. Harvey shouts that he knows Anita blackmailed him or bribed him, and he will find
out the truth.
The next morning, Julian takes that stand in front of the board. Julian paints a great picture
of Mike and winds up getting in a heated argument with Anita. After telling Anita she had no
business being on the board, Julian snarks that Mike has more integrity in his little finger than
Anita does in her entire body. Louis sits down with Donna, Stu, and Benjamin. He explains that
the other company’s patent is air tight and he couldn’t get them to budge — but he did manage
to negotiate a deal with them, and they are willing to buy out The Donna, for a lot of money.
Donna’s upset, she doesn’t care about the money, she wanted her own company.
The board is set to vote on Mike tomorrow morning. Harvey makes one last hail mary attempt
to try and talk some sense in to Anita. She agrees to let Mike in to the bar, on one condition, she
wants Harvey to lose his license to practice law. Anita wants Harvey to confess to the board that
he knowingly let Mike practice law even though he was a fraud — and that will mean that they
will revoke Harvey’s license. Mike decides to clear his conscious, he stops by the law clinic and
tells Nathan that he cut a deal and he only handled the minor suit so that he could get in to the
bar. Nathan is furious and shouts that Mie is fired. Oliver actually steps up to bat, and vouches
for Mike and convinces Nathan to let him keep working at the law clinic.
Harvey pays Louis a visit and warns him that he might have to give up his license to practice
law, and that means that they will lose the practice. Louis is livid, he can’t believe that Harvey
is willig to give up everything, while they are arguing over it, Mike walks in and overhears. Mike
interrupts and announces there is no way in hell he is going to let Harvey throw himself to the
sharks just so he can pass the bar. Donna is fighting a war of her own, she’s determined to get a
patent on the Donna, and doesn’t want to cut a deal. Harvey looks at the paperwork and tells her
to take the money. Donna cries that she doesn’t want the money, she ”wants something more.”

It sounds like Donna isn’t feeling too fulfilled as Harvey’s secretary.

The next morning, Mike heads to the hearing to make his final statement before the board
votes. Harvey, Donna, Louis, and Rachel all sit behind him. It’s looking bleak for Mike. Anita
asks if there is anyone that knew that Mike was a fraud at Pearson-Spector. Jessica unexpectedly
marches in the room and announces that she is the one that knew, and if they want a scalp — it’s
her’s. Before the board leaves to vote, Jessica gives a compelling speech to Anita and the board
about the time that Anita showed compassion for a 15 year old that was stealing prescription
drugs.
After the board leaves to vote, Jessica explains that the 15 year old in the story she told was
Walter Samson’s grandson — and Anita used that as leverage. Sure enough, Jessica’s speech
was enough to rattle Anita. A few hours later, Harvey gets a message — Anita voted for Mike, it
was unanimous, and he officially passed the bar. He’s a legitimate lawyer.
While everyone is celebrating, Louis steps aside with Rachel. Tara left him a voicemail and
he’s scared to listen to it alone. Rachel comforts him while he listens to Tara dumping him in
a voicemail and sobs. Now that Mike is officially a lawyer, Harvey is determined to get him to
come back and work at Pearson-Spector. Mike reluctantly agrees, but he wants Harvey to make
a donation to the legal clinic to fund them for two years. And, he gets to bring the legal clinic
on any case that he chooses, plus he wants Harvey’s office. Harvey reluctantly agrees, and they
shake on it.

Mike is drinking his morning coffee.

Rachel comes in. He has been thinking
about what she said — about his word
not meaning anything; which is why he is
going to keep his word to Oliver. If he tells
Harvey now it is the same as if Harvey
catches him later. He sleeps better know-
ing he is helping these people.

Katrina reports back to Louis to tell him that Stephanie isn’t backing down. She hands Louis
an agreement to sing. He refuses, he has been sued for sexual harassment before. It will look
like a pattern.
Mike comes home. Rachel is angry. She gives him an ultimatum. He needs to work at the
clinic or at the firm, but she isn’t lying for him anymore.
Paula was in the neighborhood so she visits Harvey. She wants to get dinner. He has had one
hell of a day. She asks him if he told Donna about them. He didn’t get a chance, he explains.
She thinks he didn’t tell Donna because he knows she is in love with him and it will affect their
relationship. Harvey denies it. He leaves to find Donna.
Mike tells Oliver he can’t be part of the case. Oliver freaks out. He can’t get up in front of
everyone. Mike gives him some tough love by and tells him to man up.
Louis finds Stephanie. He will do whatever she wants but he can’t admit to sexual harassment.
She doesn’t care. He shouldn’t be trying to talk to her. They argue further. Stephanie tells him
she is going to wipe the floor with him and take all of his money. She will never have to work
again.
Harvey tells Donna he has been seeing Paula. Donna tells him she knew all along. In fact, she
has been waiting for him to tell her. He smiles. She tells him she wants to hear all about it but
it will have to wait until tomorrow. She has a ton of work. He agrees and leaves. Donna is upset.
Rachel comes in and asks if she is okay. I don’t know, she tells her. She just got some news she
didn’t see coming. Rachel tells Donna she also received some news — they have both been called
to testify against Louis in Stephanie’s case against him.
Harvey brings Paula Chinese and an apology. She lets him in. He tells her he told Donna.
Katrina reports to Louis to tell him that he is in a mess after seeing Stephanie. She tells
him about Donna and Rachel being subpoenaed. Brian stops by and tells Louis he too has been
subpoenaed. Maybe he should apologize.
Louis goes to see Stephanie. He explains that his pregnant fiancé left him the night before he
lost it on Brian and her. Even though she was having someone else’s baby he was happy to be a
dad. She tells him she was hurt by his words that no one would ever have a child with her. She
is scared she will never meet anyone. He is so sorry. She tells him she will drop the case.
Oliver is addressing the judge when Alex walks in and tells the court that his firm has been
helping the clinic. Oliver denies it and refuses to take the stand. Alex calls Mike who is in the
back of the court room. Mike is forced to stand up and confess that he broke his agreement. The
judge dismisses the case.
Donna finally breaks down and tells Rachel her complex feelings about finding out that Harvey
is with Paula.
Mike heads into Harvey’s office. Why did he tell Alex? Harvey tells him he didn’t. Alex comes
in. The 3 of them fight.
Louis pays Donna a visit. He wants to thank her for breaking down his wall of denial. She
tells him that he can take his associates back. He heads over to see Brian. He tells him to go
home and apologizes for being so relentless and calling him undedicated.
Donna brings Harvey the key he gave her to his apartment. She explains that she didn’t know
he was with Paula. It stings, but not in the way he thinks. She is happy for him.
Harvey has been thinking. He pays Alex a visit in his office. He wants to know why Alex was
so public about sharing that Mike had been working that case. He asks Alex what is going on?

Summary: Harvey learns the scope of Alex’s involvement in the prison case, while
Mike races to keep it alive. Lipschitz forces Louis out of his comfort
zone. Donna struggles with her work/life balance.

Alex’s story goes back seven years and

he and Harvey are playing poker. Harvey
confesses to Alex that he failed to make
partner after being screwed over by Louis.
Alex tells Harvey that he could bring him
on at Bratton as a partner. Harvey wants
to know what’s in it for Alex. Alex heard
that Tommy Bratton is looking to bring
in a big earner from another firm. He sug-
gests he and Harvey go in and tell Bratton
that two junior partners are better than
one senior.
Harvey isn’t interested because that’s
exactly how he got screwed over at his own firm – stabbed in the back by Louis. They went to
Hardman with the hopes of being promoted from senior associates to junior partners. Hardman
said that whoever landed McKernon Motors would be considered for the partnership. Harvey got
the client but was then told by Hardman to drop them because an automotive company, triple
the size of McKernon, wanted the firm to represent them. Harvey refused and wound up losing
a court case involving McKernon because, as he later learned, Louis fed the opposing counsel
inside information. Louis got the promotion, and the two have been rivals ever since.
Back in the present, Mike tells Rachel that he plans to get the Reyes’ case reopened in crim-
inal court. Mike doesn’t plan to volunteer this information to Harvey, but he won’t lie if Harvey
asks. Mike wants to know if Rachel is okay with his decision. He reminds her that the prison is
extending sentences and wants to know how she would feel if it had happened to him. Rachel
wants to know what to say if Harvey asks, and Mike says she should tell the truth, so Rachel is
onboard.
Mike goes to Anita Gibbs for help, but she makes it clear that nobody wants to see her spend
her time getting bad guys out of prison. Mike sweetens the deal by telling her it’s a criminal
conspiracy between two Fortune 500 companies. Anita wants proof, and if Mike can provide
some, she’ll pursue it.
A few more stories are introduced via flashback: Jessica suggests Louis might want to con-
sider therapy, and she informs Harvey that Daniel Hardman wants Harvey to work with newly-
promoted Louis who is now a junior partner. Harvey is pissed Jessica didn’t have his back when

273
 Suits Episode Guide

Hardman screwed him over, but Jessica wants Harvey to put his ego aside and start thinking
more ”big picture.” She recounts how she sucked it up and endured a whole lot of demeaning,
racist, sexist B.S. before she got to where she is, and now it’s his turn. If he can’t even pretend
to bend a knee to his rivals, it doesn’t matter what he does to get ahead of them in the future,
they’re going to see him coming a mile away.
Harvey sits down with Louis, but Louis refuses to play nice. He’s not interested in Harvey’s
strategy. Louis continues to remind Harvey that he isn’t in charge. He can either get on board
and do what Louis wants or go cry to Jessica.
Harvey can’t reason with Louis, and he’s got an ax to grind, so he asks Donna to get the trial
date pushed up and not to tell Louis. Donna questions if Harvey is putting his own ego above the
good of the firm, but Harvey is convinced he can win and prove to Jessica that he’s still her guy.
Jessica shows up at court and demands to know why Louis is sitting in his office, clueless to
the fact that his case has gone to trial. Harvey insists he’s playing the long game. Jessica says
the case is hers now. She gave Harvey a direct order, and he spat in her face. Harvey calls B.S.,
insisting that he tried with Louis and ate shit, but he’s not willing to lose out of spite. And they
will lose if Jessica takes over because she knows nothing about the case. Jessica tells Harvey
that sometimes you have to bench the quarterback to show who’s running the team, even if it
means taking a loss. Harvey pleads with Jessica to change her mind, but she doesn’t budge.
Harvey goes to Alex wanting to know if his offer is still on the table. Harvey has a lot of
demands, and Alex isn’t sure Bratton will go for them. Harvey tells Alex that if he wants to make
partner on Harvey’s coattails, Alex will make Bratton say yes. Alex has no intention of riding
Harvey’s anything. This is supposed to be a mutually beneficial arrangement. Harvey wants Alex
to deliver because he’s not going somewhere he isn’t respected. Alex says if Harvey wants respect,
he’s got to show some. If Alex is going to stick his neck out, then it’s a done deal. Harvey has
to follow through. Harvey gives Alex his word that if he gets him everything he wants, he’s done
with Pearson Hardman.
Harvey shares his plan with Donna, and she can’t believe that he wouldn’t consult her. She’s
happy at the firm and believes Harvey is acting rashly. Harvey is immune to reason at this point
and gives Donna the option of packing up or staying behind. He’s not interested in her advice.
In another sub-plot, Donna is celebrating her six month anniversary with her boyfriend, Mark.
She recalls her argument with Harvey, and Mark confesses that he would hope that Donna would
stay at Pearson Hardman. It seems Harvey is constantly making their twosome a threesome, and
he can’t wait to get Donna’s boss out of the picture. If she’s willing to leave a job she loves, maybe
it’s not just the job she has affection for. Mark wants Donna to say she won’t follow Harvey for
the rest of her life, but she can’t which leads to the end of their romance.
Harvey informs Jessica that he’s expecting a job offer from Bratton Gould. He doesn’t feel
respected, and they’re willing to make him a partner now. Jessica is fed up with Harvey accusing
her of not having his back. She picked him up out of the mailroom and given him every oppor-
tunity he’s ever had. Harvey was hoping Jessica would try to talk him out of leaving, but things
aren’t going how he’d hoped. Jessica believes in Harvey’s talent, but he’ll get a promotion when
he’s ready, not based on a threat. If that’s not good enough, she wishes him luck at Bratton.
Harvey gives her his official notice.
Alex pitches his idea to Bratton, and the man agrees just as long as Alex can guarantee Harvey
will say ”yes.” Alex says Harvey gave him his word. Bratton makes it clear if the deal goes south,
it’s Alex’s ass on the line.
Louis learns from Donna that Harvey is planning to leave the firm. He goes to Jessica and
admits he put Harvey in this position. He doesn’t respect the way he made junior partner, and
he’s projecting onto everyone around him. Louis pleads with Jessica not to let Harvey go because
his pride got in the way. Jessica throws Louis a bone for his breakthrough by giving him the
associates.
Jessica tells Harvey that she threw down the gauntlet with Hardman. If Harvey isn’t the next
associate to be promoted to junior partner, she’s leaving. She hopes she isn’t too late, but if she
is, Jessica wishes him luck at Bratton Gould. So, Harvey screws over Alex.
Harvey knows this is a horrible thing to do but promises that one day Alex will need something
from him, and Harvey will make good. Alex promises one day, he will come calling.
Jessica chastises Louis for his attitude towards Harvey and demands that he start undergoing
therapy to deal with the giant chip he has on his shoulder. Louis argues he’s perfectly stable, but

274
 Suits Episode Guide

Jessica isn’t negotiating – either Louis gets professional help, or he’s unemployed.
Louis goes to see the shrink – the same one he’s with today – with the complaint that nobody
respects him. The doc wants to know whose respect Louis craves the most, and Louis answers
”Harvey.” Louis claims that Harvey is his best friend, and when the doctor asks if Harvey would
say the same, Louis throws a hissy fit about being tired of not being good enough. This is well-
worn territory and a waste of space. So, walking-wounded Louis finds a shrink who understands
his issues and can deal with his mood swings. End of story.
Harvey goes to see Pat Krueger, head of the construction firm Alex represents. Harvey offers
up a check as an apology for Mike breaking his word. Krueger accuses Harvey of trying to pay
him off, but Harvey says he’s just trying to make things right so Krueger can move on. Krueger
says the best way to get someone’s best effort is to make sure their interests are aligned with
yours, and Alex wants this case to go away as much as Krueger does. Harvey says Krueger
doesn’t need his interests aligned anymore because the case is over. Krueger isn’t convinced
since it was Harvey’s associate who opened the case again. This means his interests are aligned
with Krueger’s as well, and he plans to keep it that way.
Mike goes to see Gallo to find out if he knows anything about a conspiracy outside of Reform
Corp. Frank wants to know what’s going on, and Mike has to admit they got thrown off the case.
Frank is pissed that his daughter won’t get the money he was promised, but Mike swears he can
get the case reopened. All he needs is something Masterson Construction – proof of conspiracy.
Gallo doesn’t know anything about a conspiracy, but he does tell Mike that Masterson put the
prisoners to work. The prisoners work on the prisons, allowing for more room for more inmates.
But it’s all done out in the open under the guise of ”rehabilitation.”
Alex questions why Harvey would go to Masterson Construction behind his back. All this does
is put Harvey in their crosshairs. Harvey argues he’s already in the company’s crosshairs, and
now that he knows what happened, he might as well have been a part of it himself. Alex suggests
that they tell Mike the truth, knowing Mike is not going to let this go until he gets to the bottom
of whatever the hell is going on. Harvey doesn’t want Alex to go to Mike and urges him to let it
go.
Harvey goes to Rachel to find out if Mike is still working on the case. She reveals that Mike
is trying to build a criminal case to take to Anita Gibbs. Harvey wonders how far along Mike is,
and Rachel bets her fiancèe is a whole lot closer than he was a few hours ago.
Mike goes to Ben and asks him to do some hacking and to keep it from Harvey. He’s able
to get a smoking gun which he shares with Rachel. Masterson uses Reform Corp.’s inmates to
build more prisons. Rachel points out that it’s illegal to use inmates for private companies. Mike
reveals that it would be except that five years ago, Alex Williams got a waiver from the State
Corrections Board, allowing Reform Corp. to supplement their workforce with inmates. But after
Ben’s handiwork, Mike learned that Reform Corp. wasn’t just using inmates to supplement the
workforce – they were the workforce, reducing Reform Corp.’s labor costs. The company isn’t only
extending sentences, they’re defrauding the government and splitting the profits with Masterson.
Rachel wants to know where Mike got his information, and Mike says it doesn’t matter. Rachel
responds that it does because if it came from Masterson, Harvey can stop Gibbs from using it.
Mike assures Rachel it didn’t. He admits Ben got it from Reform Corp.’s server. Mike can redact
any mention of Masterson, give it to Gibbs and she can put the pieces together. There’s nothing
Harvey can do. Rachel points out Harvey can fire him. Mike is tired of being torn between pro
bono and corporate law, so if Harvey lets him go, so be it.
Harvey calls a meeting with Donna and Louis. He warns them Alex has a gun to his head,
and if Harvey doesn’t do something about it, Alex will be in deep shit. He’s got a way out of it,
but there’s going to be consequences, primarily for Mike.
Mike goes to see Gibbs, and he learns that PSL doesn’t just represent Masterson, they repre-
sent Reform Corp., so anything he brings her is tainted because he broke privilege. Mike realizes
this is Harvey’s doing. He tries to convince Gibbs to take the evidence anonymously, but she’s not
about to take that chance (A dumb suggestion to make to the woman who tried him for fraud.)
Mike confronts Harvey, and the two argue. Mike is David, and Harvey is Goliath, and Goliath
doesn’t give a shit what Reform Corp. or Masterson Construction are doing. Mike figures out
somebody must have something on Alex, and he’s going to figure it out. Harvey tells Mike that
if he’s ever valued the times they’ve had each other’s backs, Mike will have his now because he

275
 Suits Episode Guide

needs it. Harvey won’t tell Mike why because he doesn’t trust him. Harvey swears if Mike makes
another move, he’ll fire him.
Donna wants to know if helping Alex is worth losing Mike and wants to know what Alex did
and why Harvey owes him. Harvey tells Donna that after the deal fell through, Alex was nothing
at Bratton. They worked him long hours and gave him unwinnable cases. Then Bratton came to
Alex saying there was a way back. All he had to do was take on Masterson Construction as a
client.
Alex shows up at Mike’s to come clean. He’s tired of having this huge secret hanging over his
head. Alex received a letter from a guard, stating an inmate had died on the job, and it was being
covered up. Alex took the letter to Krueger, and two weeks later, the guard was murdered. That’s
when Alex figured out Masterson and Reform Corp. were colluding. Alex went to Bratton who
revealed that they had set Alex up to make it look like he was in on it too. He didn’t do anything
because of his wife and daughter. If Mike pursues this, there’s no way Alex gets off.

Summary: Harvey and Mike seek outside help to overcome an impossible situa-
tion. An unexpected encounter derails Louis’s search for a new asso-
ciate. Donna receives a surprising proposition.

In the wake of Harvey’s news that he’s

dating his shrink, Donna does what all
heartbroken women do – she calls up her
ex, Mark. The two meet up and reminisce.
Mark is surprised that Donna isn’t mar-
ried, and she says she has her standards.
Mike is glad to see that she hasn’t settled
and Donna tells him about her new posi-
tion as COO.
Things are going well until Donna
learns that Mark got married three years
ago. Donna wonders why he would agree
to have lunch with her. (Was she planning
on banging him on the table?) Mark responds that she called and invited him, and it was just
lunch. Donna points out that their reunion has felt like something more than just lunch, and
he knows it. Mark confesses that he’s never stopped thinking about Donna. Things aren’t great
at home, and blah, blah, blah...all the things guys looking to cheat on their wives say to justify
infidelity.
Donna makes it clear that while she does think of Mark from time to time, she won’t be the
answer to his marital problems. If at some point he ends things with his wife, and calls her up
for a date, she’d be open. But she’s not open to being a mistress.
Mike goes to see Harvey and reveals that he knows Alex’s secret. Mike swears he doesn’t want
to use the information against Alex, he wants to help him. It’s time for Batman and Robin to
nail Reform Corp. and save Alex. What they need is a Commissioner Gordon – somebody on the
inside. That someone is Robert Zane. Robert agrees to take the case but warns Harvey that once
he does, he’ll run it how he sees it. Once he steps in the ring, he’s not pulling any punches.
When Alex learns that Robert Zane has taken over the case, he confronts Mike who tries to
reassure Alex that everything is going to be fine. Alex is convinced that when this case goes to

277
 Suits Episode Guide

trial, it’s only a matter of time before his role in the entire mess is exposed, but Mike is confident
that things won’t go that far. He and Harvey obviously have a plan. It’s Batman and Robin’s world
and everybody else is just living in it.
Also unhappy about Robert Zane taking the case is the CEO of Reform Corp., Roger Shapiro.
He’s done some digging and knows Robert is about to be Mike’s father-in-law and doesn’t think
it’s a coincidence that Zane has reopened the case. Harvey promises to take care of it, and
Robert expects Harvey to keep his word. The only reason he signed with PSL was because Harvey
promised to stop Mike Ross. Roger tells Harvey in no uncertain terms that if Reform Corp. goes
down, so does Alex and PSL.
Robert arrives with a settlement offer, and it’s obviously some serious bank because Roger
takes a hard pass. Harvey tells Robert that the settlement is a declaration of war. Robert is ready
and has no reservations about going in front of a jury. Roger threatens Robert that the case will
never make it in front of a jury because he’ll make sure they know Mike Ross handed Robert the
case on a silver platter. But while Roger has no proof that’s what transpired, Robert does have
proof that Reform Corp. schemed to extend sentences but murdered someone to cover it up.
Robert reveals he has an eyewitness in prison who will testify in court. Roger asks the identity
of this witness, and Robert tells him he knows exactly who it is, and he knows who Roger is. If
Roger doesn’t take the deal, he could end up behind bars himself.
Roger makes it clear to Harvey that he has no intention of settling or admitting anything, and
Harvey better make sure Frank Gallo doesn’t testify, or he’ll find someone who can.
Louis is on a rampage. He’s looking for a stellar associate to take Stephanie’s place and
Columbia has refused to submit an applicant. Louis isn’t about to let even one school think
they’re good enough after Mike Ross. Gretchen warns Louis not to go off the rails, but Louis is
determined to let who’s not good enough for who.
Louis arrives at Columbia to find that his ex, Sheila, is in charge of recruitment. She’s moved
to the city to be with her fiancèe who she’s marrying in two weeks. Sheila didn’t send an applicant
because she didn’t want him to find out and be hurt. Louis takes the news like a champ, and
Shelia says that now he knows, there’s no reason to punish the firm and promises to send him
her best and brightest.
Things didn’t go as Mike and Harvey planned. Harvey informs Mike that Robert backstabbed
them and blew up the settlement. Now Harvey has to stop Gallo from testifying. Mike doesn’t
think that’s a good idea, but Harvey knows if Gallo talks, Alex goes down, and that’s exactly
what they’re trying to avoid. Mike thinks he’s the one who should go talk to Gallo. Mike may
have been responsible for extending Gallo’s sentence, but Harvey’s the one who put him there in
the first place.
Mike visits Gallo and offers him money not to talk, but Gallo isn’t interested in Mike’s money
because Robert Zane already warned him Mike would show up trying to screw him over. Mike
insists he’s not trying to screw Gallo over, but Gallo questions why Mike has been trying to get
him to do the exact opposite thing for the past month. Mike tries to explain that the situation
has changed, but one key thing hasn’t changed for Gallo, his daughter, Denise, and what she
thinks of him.
Mike approached Gallo offering him the opportunity to buy his daughter’s love back, but Gallo
realizes money isn’t going to be enough. He needs her to see him get up on the stand, admit what
he did and ask for forgiveness. Robert Zane understands that because he has a daughter. How
inconvenient that Gallo has decided to turn over a new leaf now that Harvey and Mike need him
to be the scumbag he’s always been.
Mike arrives home to discover that Rachel is upset, which seems to be the new normal for
these two. She’s pissed because she found out that Frank Gallo was the witness in the murder
case and because Mike and Harvey went to her father to keep the whole thing alive. She doesn’t
appreciate Mike keeping something from her and behaving as if she isn’t capable to pulling up
her big girl panties and taking care of herself.
Louis tells Donna the news about Sheila. It’s the second time in a year the poor guy has
learned that a woman whom he thought was the love of his life rejected him. Louis doesn’t think
Donna could possibly understand what that feels like, but she lets him know she understands it
more than he thinks. She confides in Louis about her lunch with Mark. (Please tell me that these
two aren’t so depressed that they could wind up sleeping together. I apologize for even putting it
out there because it’s just so...wrong. Bygones.)

Harvey confronts Robert. He didn’t bring Robert the case so he could take it to court. Harvey
wanted Robert to bring these people justice. Robert calls B.S. He knows Harvey gave him the
case to get himself out of hot water. Robert warned him that this is his case, and Harvey has no
right to tell him how to run it. Harvey has no choice but to reveal that if Robert digs too deep, it’s
going to put one of his guys behind bars for a crime he didn’t commit.
Robert knows it’s Alex, and he doesn’t care. What he does care about is that the United States
comprises 5 percent of the world’s population and 25 percent of its prisoners, and that’s not
something white guys like Harvey care about. This case hits close to home for Robert. He grew
up in Harlem where nine out of the 10 guys he knew ended up in prison. And Reform Corp. is
taking these kids, like the ones he knew, and they’re extending their sentences and murdering
them. So, no matter what Harvey says or does, Reform Corp. is going to take the settlement offer,
or they’re going to trial. Either way, Reform Corp. is going to pay.
Harvey and Mike are at an impasse. Harvey thinks the only way out is to dig something up on
Robert, but Rachel has a different plan in mind. She knows how to prevent Gallo from testifying,
but Robert isn’t going to like it because it means impugning his integrity through Rachel. Mike
suggests Rachel is playing with fire. Rachel has no problem playing with fire, he has a problem
with being left out of the game, so if her father has a problem with it, he can take it up with her.
It’s really hard to root for the home team on this one since Robert’s cause is pretty damn noble.
Robert and Harvey face off in front of the judge, and there’s a lot at stake on both sides.
In order to prevent Frank from testifying, Harvey tells the judge that Gallo is about to commit
perjury and Robert knows. He pulls out the pictures Gallo got of Rachel while Mike was in jail
and says they were sent by Gallo to intimidate Robert into suborning perjury. This blindsides
Robert, and he has a hard time arguing his side, especially when the judge sees the photos as
a threat to Rachel from Gallo. The judge declares that until he gets to the bottom of this mess,
Gallo isn’t testifying.
Robert attacks Harvey in the men’s room, but Mike interrupts and reveals that the whole
thing was Rachel’s idea. Robert doesn’t buy it, but Mike insists that Rachel is a grown woman
who makes her own decisions. Robert doesn’t care whose idea it was. They used Rachel to slander
him in open court. Zane isn’t messing around. He’s determined that Frank Gallo will take the
stand, one way or another (I wonder if Robert will still pay for the wedding?)
Predictably, Donna gets a call from Mark. He regrets walking away from her and doesn’t want
to do it again. He’s staying in the city to attend to some business, and he wants to see Donna. He
gives her his hotel information. Donna asks about Mark’s wife, and he doesn’t know what he’s
going to do about it, but whatever it is, it’s not going to happen right away. Mark understands if
Donna doesn’t want to see him, but he had to call.
Donna isn’t the only one getting indecent proposals. Louis gets a call from Sheila who admits
she hasn’t gotten Louis out of her system, and she wants them to do some very dirty things
before she walks down the aisle (I had to wait to make sure this wasn’t a dream sequence.) Louis
says he can’t, but Sheila says she’ll be waiting for him the following night.
The question of whether or not Frank Gallo will testify becomes moot when Harvey learns
Gallo has been murdered.
Harvey immediately accuses Roger of having Frank Gallo murdered. Roger denies the accu-
sations, and really, Gallo was a scumbag with a lot of enemies who could have been killed by
anyone.
Robert rides in on his white horse with a surprise for Roger. It seems Robert videotaped
Frank’s testimony, and he fingers Roger for ordering the murder of the guard. The tape is a
deathbed confession and admissible in court. Harvey’s cape is still at the cleaners because he
didn’t orchestrate this plan. All he did was go to Robert with his suspicion about Gallo’s death.
Robert wants Roger to settle and to stop what he’s doing. If he doesn’t, the tape goes to the
Department of Justice. Roger has no choice but to agree. Harvey has one more request. I’m
assuming the only reason they aren’t sending this guy to prison is there wouldn’t be a settlement
or a guarantee that whoever took his place wouldn’t be just as shady. At least they have some
leverage over Roger.
Harvey also gets a sign confession from Roger stating that Masterson Construction was a co-
conspirator with Reform Corp. to defraud the government, and the whole thing was spearheaded
by Bratton. Alex and Harvey go to see Tommy demanding he sign a letter of resignation and give
Alex back his affidavit. Another reason to handle this quietly – to be certain Alex walks.

If Donna isn’t sure what she’s going to do about Mark, his offer becomes even more enticing
after Donna encounters Paula in Harvey’s office. She puts on a good face. She knows it’s Paula
and Harvey’s two-month anniversary, and she suggests Harvey’s favorite restaurant. But there’s
a new sheriff in town, and Paula has already made the reservation. It seems Harvey’s shrink
knows him almost as well – better if you take into consideration carnal knowledge – than his
former secretary. Awkward.
Mike goes to see Gallo’s daughter and gives her what he promised Gallo he would. He goes a
bit far when he tells the woman her father was a decent man.
Donna and Louis both arrive at hotels. Just as Donna’s about to take the plunge with Mark,
she gets a text from Rachel – who thinks Donna is on a date – telling her that she hopes she’s
having fun, and she deserves the best. Realizing her friend is right, Donna walks away.

plicates matters; Rachel is surprised when her dad offers a chance to
join forces; and Louis mentors Brian.

Harvey and Mike arrive at a local gym

to try and get them to drop a law-
suit against his client. Their lawyer is a
man who knows Harvey, but who Har-
vey doesn’t remember. They worked to-
gether for 3 years. The man’s revelation
surprises Harvey and Mike.
Meanwhile, Brian and Louis meet with
a CFO of a company who has taken
their client’s idea. Louis threatens him. It
doesn’t do much until he insults Brian’s
skills at being a a lawyer and a father.
Brian goes crazy on him. Louis loves it!
Harvey and Mike arrive back at the office. Harvey tells Mike to tell him what is on his mind.
Mike is concerned that this guy has it out for him. Donna cuts in. She remembers him. He is
dangerous. He spent years envious of Harvey during his prosecutor days and now he is out for
revenge.
At the deposition for Harvey and Mike’s client, Harvey’s former colleague struggles to keep
himself in check.
Rachel is in her office when her father Robert shows up. He wants to work with her. He wants
to work on a pro bono case involving fraudulent lending. She agrees.
Mike wants to cut a deal on behalf of their client. Mike thinks the woman is guilty. While
talking about what the other thinks they realize that the whole thing is a trumped up charge.
The next morning, they arrive at the judge’s chambers. Harvey tells the judge how the prosecutor
doesn’t care of his client is guilty or not. He told his client so.
Louis gets a phone call. The lawsuit Brian sent over refers to their client’s product as being
superior, therefore different, making the lawsuit pointless. Louis loses control when he tells Brian
he is off the case. He calls him worthless. Gretchen sees this. Louis goes to the bathroom. She
follows. She tells him that he better watch how he talks to the associates or she will knock him
the hell out.
Harvey and Mike are celebrating with a drink. They are on the verge of winning the case in
record time now that Malick, his former colleague, has yet to produce evidence. Malick arrives

281
 Suits Episode Guide

unexpectedly. He hands Mike a couple of documents. Before he leaves he says hi to Donna and
jokes about her being in the same place in life as the last time he saw her. Mike reads over the
documents. Harvey wants to know if it is bad. Yes, Mike tells him. He has the smoking gun, the
body and more to back up his claims.
Gretchen comes in to Louis’ office. Brian is dropping off his resignation. He is mad that Louis
treated him that way. He is going to quit. Gretchen tells him that he screwed up the case and
lost the firm a client. If he was a man, he would stay and clean up his mess. And another thing,
don’t talk shit about her boss. She walks off.
Harvey and Mike show up at their client’s office. They want to know about the evidence Malick
has on her. She tells them she didn’t write the memo they showed her. They accuse her further
of holding back information. She corrects them and then demand they do their job. Harvey and
Mike talk it over. Malick is trying to steer their attention somewhere else.
Rachel and Robert work on the pro bono case together. They reminisce over their past and
the times they last worked together.
Louis approaches Brian to apologize. Brian tells him not to. He made the mistake. He worked
all night to rewrite the case against them. Louis reads it. It is brilliant.
At court the next day, Malick tells the judge that the memo he wants to turn in for evidence
exists but has disappeared because Harvey has hid it. The judge gives him additional time to get
it.
Louis thanks Gretchen for putting up with him.
Robert and Rachel sit awaiting the individuals they dispose for their discrimination/fraudulent
lending case. When their first witness arrives and she is a woman of color, Rachel is thrown off.
Robert doesn’t care. He gets loud and angry, telling them that he is going to get to the bottom of
it all.
Donna has been subpoenaed by Malick. They will need Louis to help prep her for trial.
Louis arrives back at his psychiatrist’s office. He reveals that he hasn’t been in a while because
he didn’t want to be judged. He can’t get Sheila out of his head. Not Tara. Sheila and he broke
up because he wanted a baby. Now he will never get a baby.
Rachel wants to know what is going on with Robert. He confesses to Rachel that this case is
to get even with the CEO of the company, a man who sexually harassed his sister in law. He fired
her and ruined her life. At the time, Robert was too young to fight.
Harvey and Donna find Louis. They tell him that they need his help. He doesn’t want to prep
Donna, it is too personal and it upsets him to upset her. Donna tells him she needs him. She
needs him to protect her.
Donna shows up at Rachel’s. She tells her how she met up with her ex-boyfriend who is
married., but ran off. Rachel asks her if she regrets putting Harvey over this guy. Donna replies
that she is mad she put Harvey over herself.
Louis shows up at Brian’s. He is there to help with the baby. Brian is surprised and thrilled.

office. He cannot believe that Harvey is letting this go without a fight. Mike wants to do something.

break. He threatens her into following through with naming a building after Stanley even if he

him now. Harvey is annoyed but agrees. They sit down with the candidate Kyle. The two go back
and forth leaving Kyle confused as to why he is there. Harvey decides he isn’t looking for a senior
partner after all. He gets up and leaves.
Donna trails behind Harvey. She tells him he was horrible and selfish in the interview. He
thinks she is selfish. How could she kiss him when she knows he is in Paula? She can relax.
She didn’t feel anything when she kissed him. He tells her it doesn’t matter. She ruined his
relationship with Paula. It was just a kiss, she tells him.

Season Episode: 2

Originally aired: Wednesday July 25, 2018

Writer: Genevieve Sparling

ferty (Donna Paulsen), Amanda Schull (Katrina Bennet), Dulé Hill (Alex
Williams), Katherine Heigl (Samantha Wheeler)

Andrews), Sarah Allen (Ms. Andrews), Rachael Harris (Sheila Sazs),

Production Code: S802
Summary: Harvey and Donna get their first taste of how Samantha operates; Alex
tries to impress Zane.

Harvey agrees to help a former client of

Mike’s, but Robert fears that the personal
connection may cloud Harvey’s judgment
– so he orders Sam to make sure Har-
vey doesn’t wind up losing the client (and,
hey, if Sam can show Harvey her good
side while she does it, so much the bet-
ter). But Sam doesn’t go about things del-
icately, instead managing to piss off both
Harvey and Donna. Harvey angrily tells
Sam to stay away from his case, but he
changes his tune after Donna suggests he
keep Sam close while Red does a little dig-
ging into their new mutual headache.
Sheila’s expectation that Louis will
seize the managing partner’s chair leads to some *ahem* performance issues for Louis, who
fears that confessing he has set aside his ambition for the throne will make him look weak in
the eyes of his lady love. It’s only when Dr. Lipschitz explains to Sheila that Louis’s love for her
has replaced his desire for control of the firm that she begins to see the full picture. But when
she apologizes to Louis, she unintentionally wakes a sleeping dragon – Louis may not want to
be managing partner anymore, but he realizes that he’s not getting the respect he deserves from
Robert or Harvey, and he lets them know it. Sheila is so thrilled by Louis’s display of power that
she tells him she is ready to start actively trying for a baby, much to Louis’s delight.
Donna’s inquiry only leads to more questions – no one knows anything for sure about Sam
Wheeler, which seems to be just the way she likes it. Even Gretchen, the only person with
contacts deeper than Donna’s, can’t come up with anything concrete. Katrina assures them that
Sam really is as good as she seems – and a good person to have in your corner. The question is,
is she really in their corner?
Alex tries to land Starboard Airlines in an effort to impress Robert Zane (the fact that Star-
board used to be Sam Wheeler’s client is icing on the cake). Starboard’s CEO, Gavin Andrews,
agrees to give Alex his corporate business if Alex handles a matter pertaining to his ongoing
divorce settlement. Alex jumps at the chance, but Sam shows up later to warn Alex that Gavin
Andrews isn’t someone that he wants to get into bed with – the man has secrets, apparently.

303
 Suits Episode Guide

However, Sam won’t give Alex any details, and when she brings up Alex’s own complicated his-
tory, she only manages to rub Alex the wrong way.
Sam tries to toe the line and follow Harvey’s lead on the case, but she can’t help making her
own play when she starts to feel Harvey is putting the personal above the concerns of the firm.
The move infuriates Harvey and leads to a confrontation with Donna, who questions whether
Sam can be trusted when it’s clear she doesn’t have Harvey’s back. Even Robert is not pleased
– how is he supposed to put her name on the wall when she’s busy pissing off the other name
partners? Realizing she needs to show some team loyalty, Sam comes up with a fix that pleases
Harvey.
A conversation about Robert sending Sam to keep an eye on Harvey touches on another sen-
sitive topic when Robert informs Harvey of his promise to put Sam’s name on the wall. However,
Louis interrupts and makes it known that he won’t be treated like a third wheel just because
his name comes last. Harvey and Robert realize they need to make Louis feel the love, but it
effectively tables the name partnership conversation before Harvey says his piece, leaving him to
wonder how he’s going to make good on his own name partnership promise to Alex.

Summary: Harvey is drawn into a dispute with the firm’s landlord. Alex pursues
Samantha’s former client.

Harvey and Robert have drinks and talk

about what they are going to do about
both promising Alex and Samantha their
name on the door. Harvey excused him-
self to the restroom. The cleaning lady is
in there crying. He offers her a tissue and
any help with whatever is wrong.
Alex promises Gavin he will get his fa-
ther’s painting back and Delta Airlines.
The next morning, Alex sees Samantha
outside and tells her to back off. She
scoffs at him. He shouldn’t have gone af-
ter her old client.
Louis comes to talk to Robert. He wants to know what he can do to make Katrina a senior
partner. Meanwhile, the cleaning lady comes to see Harvey. She needs his help. The building
owner owes her money for her services and she needs it right away to pay for her mother’s
operation. Harvey tells her he will see what he can.
Louis tells Katerina she needs to manage Brian. She gets upset. She doesn’t have a lot of time.
Louis tells her this is her chance to become a senior partner.
Harvey goes to visit David Fox about the building’s cleaning lady. He wants David to give her
the money he owes her so she can pay for her mother’s surgery. Fox tells him he contracts the
cleaning out so he has nothing to do with it. Harvey doesn’t believe that. He threatens him. Fox
threatens him back. He does rent from him after all, so he needs to watch his step. Harvey laughs
at him. He better pay the lady or he will come after him.
Alex tells Louis he needs Samantha to back off. He needs Louis to tell her to stop pursuing
Delta. If he can do that for Alex, he can get Gavin. Louis goes to see Samantha. He demands she
leave Delta alone or she will be sorry. Samantha humors him and agrees but she won’t forget
their conversation.
A toilet on one of the floors is backed up and Donna can’t seem to get anyone to come in and
take a look at it. She is told to talk to Harvey. She relays the message to Harvey, who gets mad
knowing Fox is behind it. He tells Donna the story. She tells him to back off. Fox is no joke. He
reluctantly agrees.
Brian meets with a client on a new case he was assigned with Katerina. She doesn’t show up.
Brian tries to get through the meeting but he doesn’t know the details. The client gets angry.

305
 Suits Episode Guide

He feels unimportant. He tells Brian he is leaving and not to call him in for a meeting unless
Katerina is going to be there.
Brian finds Katerina. She couldn’t make it. She had a migraine. All the stress of firing some
of the associates have triggered a migraine and the fact that she has one shot at senior partner.
Brian promises he won’t tell anyone about the migraines. He goes to Louis and apologizes. Louis
rips him apart. Louis tells him this can never happen again. He stopped Katerina from firing him.
Harvey calls the cleaning lady. He tells her he has a firm that can help her because he can’t.
It’s the old clinic Mike helped. Harvey heads down there but there isn’t a familiar face. He leaves.
Alex brings Gavin the painting that he wanted. Gavin is thrilled. He has already told the
Journal who his new law firm is. Alex is happy until Gavin admits he is selling the painting
Alex got him back. The deal seems like money laundering. Gavin admits to it. Alex doesn’t want
anything to do with it, but Gavin threatens him. Their reputation is on the line now. He cannot
back out.
Brian offers to help Katerina work on her case knowing she doesn’t feel good. Meanwhile, Alex
pleads with Samantha for help to get him out of dealing with Gavin.
After getting through their workload, Katerina tells Brian she is sending him to court alone.
She knows he can do it.
Robert arrives at the office. The elevators aren’t working. He knows this has something to do
with Harvey. Robert, Louis, and Donna all talk to Harvey who has just learned that Fox fired the
cleaning lady. Harvey is ready to go to war, but the three tell him he needs to stop now. He is
going to cost them, clients.
Donna and Harvey talk. He doesn’t know how he got to this. Donna thinks he is missing Mike.
She thinks he needs to call him so he can tell Harvey what to do.
Alex goes to see Gavin. He tells him he invested his money locally after making himself the
trustee of the account. Gavin is in disbelief. Alex noticed the trustee on the account was Gavin’s
niece and she would have taken the fall. After Alex told her she signed it over to him.
Katerina tells Louis the truth and how well Brian did in court. He is impressed.
Harvey brings Donna the solution to Fox and asks her to deal with it. She thinks Mike’s plan
is genius. Harvey tells her it is his.
Donna brings Fox the deal. He needs to hire Anna the cleaning lady back and pay all of his
worker’s fair wages or the clinic will follow through with a civil suit. If he drops it and hires Anna
back, Harvey will give him free legal services for a year. He agrees.
Alex gives Samantha tickets to a UFC fight as a thank-you. She tells him about Robert’s
promise that her name will be next on the wall.

Summary: Harvey laces up for a rematch against an old foe. Louis struggles to
hold the reins of the firm.

Looking for some payback in Jessica’s

name, Harvey and Robert take on Andrew
Malik in the case of a boxing promoter ac-
cused of fight fixing. Harvey’s plan is to
prove the promotor’s innocence and make
Malik look like a fool in the process. How-
ever, things get complicated when they
discover that one of the fighters took a
dive in order to orchestrate a big payout
for his family after he learned that years
of fighting have left him with brain dam-
age.
Not wanting to let down a longtime
client, Louis assures high-end furniture company CEO Thomas Kessler that he will personally
get him out of a bad contract that could sink his business AND find him a new general counsel.
However, Donna points out that Louis’s job is bigger than his personal clients now; if he’s going
to be an effective Managing Partner, then he needs to learn to delegate. Seeing the wisdom in
Donna’s words, Louis agrees to let her handle finding Kessler a new general counsel and farms
out the contract issue to Alex.
Donna gets to work finding a new general counsel for Thomas Kessler, but when it becomes
obvious that there is more to their meetings than business as usual, Kessler musters the courage
to ask Donna out to dinner. Donna demurs – she can’t date someone she’s working with – but
she also doesn’t mind when Kessler tells her he plans on asking her again.
Sam confronts Katrina for her part in Alex’s victory and demands that she tank her own
client’s case in order to help Dexhart Insurance make up for their sizable losses. Fearing Sam’s
wrath, Katrina complies, but a talk with Donna makes Katrina realize she doesn’t want to be the
type of lawyer who just rolls over. Katrina goes back to Sam with a more legal solution, and a
promise that she owes her one. Katrina also confronts Alex about the awkward position he put
her in – and lets him know that HE owes her one for her help.
When Louis learns that Alex’s plan to save Kessler’s business would bifurcate the company,
he takes the case back. Meanwhile, Harvey and Robert’s case against Malik causes some bad
press for the firm, but Louis refuses to step in. It’s only when Donna gives Louis a dose of tough

323
 Suits Episode Guide

love that he realizes he needs to step up and steer the ship. That means letting Alex do his job
as he sees fit while pulling the reins on Harvey and Robert before they cause any more damage.
Robert wants to cut a deal for the guilty fighter – what he did, he did for family – but Harvey
wants to throw him under the bus in order to take down Malik. Louis steps in and tells them he
won’t let either one of them jeopardize the firm over a vendetta. He comes up with a plan that
gets the promoter off the hook and cuts a deal for the fighter — while securing vengeance for
Jessica by forcing Malik to make a public apology for going after an innocent man. Malik can’t
do anything but swallow it... but he warns Harvey and Robert to watch their backs.

Sarah Wilson (Linda Janowitz)
Production Code: S812
Summary: Louis learns the finer points of managing Harvey. Alex is caught be-
tween Samantha and his wife.

Louis tasks Harvey with landing a whale,

so Harvey sets his sights on eco-car
mogul Stephen Palmer. Stephen plays
hard to get – leading Harvey to lie to Louis
– and when Louis meddles in Harvey’s af-
fairs and learns the truth, tempers flare
on both sides. Things only get worse
when Harvey and Louis both show up to
a charity poker tournament thrown by
Stephen, each with the intention of clos-
ing the deal themselves. Tensions come to
boil, and business is forgotten as Harvey
and Louis set their sights on each other.
And though Louis puts up a strong fight, Harvey eventually gets in his head and humiliates him
at the card table.
Katrina and Brian take on the case of a woman’s fragrance company whose biggest competitor
is knocking off their products. But while their working chemistry continues to make them a
formidable team, their unspoken romantic chemistry gets harder and harder to deny, and they
share a ”moment.” Donna counsels Katrina to stay away from Brian if temptation is too great,
but Katrina finds that easier said than done; he’s her associate, after all.
Alex asks to be left out of the loop when his wife Rosalee taps Sam for help with a case – Alex
and Rosalee’s past legal disagreements have been explosive, so for the sake of his relationship he
wants to stay out of it. Sam and Rosalee make a great team, but when they wind up arguing over
a settlement offer, Sam begs Alex to step in and change Rosalee’s mind. However, after hearing
Rosalee out, Alex comes down on her side, and tells Sam she needs to accept Rosalee’s decision
(even if it goes against Sam’s legal instincts).
A research session at Brian’s apartment leads to another moment between Katrina and Brian,
but they won’t address the elephant in the room. It’s only when their unspoken feelings bubble
up during a deposition and derail the case that things finally come to a head. But while they
both agree they can’t act on their feelings for each other, only Katrina is brave enough to state
the obvious: Brian can’t be her associate anymore.
After some encouragement from Gretchen, Donna decides to say ’yes’ to a date with Thomas
Kessler. Her exciting evening is almost derailed, though, when Louis throws a tantrum about

325
 Suits Episode Guide

Donna finding him a whale to close. Luckily, Gretchen talks some sense to Donna – she’s put
the firm first too many times; it’s time to have a night for her – and she keeps her date. And
good thing, too, because the early hints of chemistry between Donna and Thomas proved true.
So true, that Donna invites Thomas up to her apartment!
Louis angrily blames Harvey for jeopardizing their business and demands Donna cancel her
plans so she can find him a bigger whale than Stephen in order to prove he is a better closer.
Furious that Harvey and Louis’s childishness might cause Donna to miss her date with Thomas,
Gretchen gives Harvey a verbal smack upside the head and tells him to deal with his issues like
a grown up. Meanwhile, Robert acts as the voice of reason and tells Louis that Harvey is just
treating him the way he treated every other managing partner before him. Louis and Harvey both
come to their senses and make amends (while both admitting that something like this will most
likely happen again).

Miller), Wendell Pierce (Robert Zane), Janet Porter (Prosecutor), Sasha
Roiz (Thomas Kessler)
Production Code: S813
Summary: Harvey and Donna are caught in the crosshairs when Stu is black-
mailed. Samantha revisits her past.

Stu Buzzini drops the bad news that the

Teddy Doyle trade has come back to bite
them; a trader named Nick Pavonatti has
learned the truth and is using it to black-
mail his way into Stu’s job. Harvey does
everything in his power to bluff Nick into
backing down, even calling in favors from
both Kevin Miller and Sean Cahill (Cahill
is not amused, and tells Harvey he could
have him arrested). However, the cocky
trader remains unfazed, and things only
get worse when Nick learns that Harvey
and Donna had a hand in the trade.
Sam gets a surprise visit from Judy, the woman who had fostered Sam until she was taken
away after a run-in with the law. Judy recently took the rap when one of her current kids,
Corey, got busted with pills, and now she’s in danger of losing her fostering license. Sam tries to
negotiate with the prosecutor in the case, who sees very clearly what is going on and won’t deal
unless Judy admits the truth. But Judy refuses to give up on Corey because she regrets what
happened with Sam all those years ago — it turns out that Sam wasn’t taken; Judy let her go for
the good of her other kids. The news is a gut punch for Sam, who decides to walk away from the
case.
Katrina’s decision to cut Brian from the Adored case without telling him leads to a huge
argument — Katrina may have done it for the right reasons, but being unceremoniously dumped
makes Brian look terrible. As Donna later tells Katrina, Brian’s career stands to take a big hit
if Katrina just removes him as her associate. Katrina and Brian find a way to put hurt feelings
aside and come up with a solution that will be mutually beneficial.
Robert encourages Sam to stick with Judy. Sam mends fences with Judy — she was upset
that Judy lied to her, not that she let her go all those years ago — and convinces her to let Corey
take responsibility for his actions for the good of Judy’s other kids. Sam then uses her own story
of redemption to convince the prosecutor to go easy on Corey so that he has a shot at making
something of his life the way Sam did.
With Nick standing firm and Harvey and Donna now in his cross hairs, it looks more and more
as if Stu may have to step down. Donna sends Alex to press Nick one more time, but Nick calls

their bluff and marches straight into Sean Cahill’s office to lay out his case against Stu, Harvey
and Donna. But it turns out he played right into Harvey and Donna’s hands — as Sean explains
to Nick, blackmail is just as much a crime as stock manipulation, and if he’s prosecuting one,
he’s prosecuting both. Nick backs down and Harvey lets him know he’s fired — they win! But
Cahill also warns Harvey that his favors have just run out.

trina owes her). However, things get un-
comfortable when it turns out that Sam
is going up against Dana Scott, who uses
Sam’s propensity for dirty tricks to get
the the judge on her side. Realizing Sam
is out for blood, Harvey goes behind her
back to offer Scottie a deal, but Scottie
rejects it – a move she soon regrets when
Sam makes it clear that her instincts are

meets the eye.
A malpractice suit by one of Stan Lipschitz’s patients, Craig Boyd, puts the good doctor’s
career on the line, so Louis keeps pressing until his cherished psychiatrist agrees to let him
handle the case. Dr. Lipschitz will only do it under two conditions, though, one of which is that
Louis keep his emotions in check. Louis manages to control himself when opposing counsel
rejects his settlement offer, but Dr. Lipschitz objects to Louis’ plan to secure victory by putting
Craig Boyd on the stand – Lipschitz would rather lose his license than subject his unstable
patient to a grilling in court that could lead to a mental break, or possibly worse.
It isn’t long before Sam and Katrina uncover fraudulent activity on the part of Scottie’s client,
the type of stuff that could send people to jail. Katrina thinks they should use the information
as leverage for a settlement, but Sam is hell-bent on revenge, even if Scottie’s career is ruined in
the process. Meanwhile, Scottie shows up at Donna’s door to beg her to go to Harvey for help –
it turns out she knew about the fraud (that’s why she couldn’t take Harvey’s settlement offer!)
but she has been trying to keep it under wraps in order to save the jobs of hundreds of innocent
workers. Donna decides to help, but only if Scottie agrees to stay from the firm (or is it Harvey?)
when all is said and done.
Alex faces a moral dilemma when defending a manufacturer of life saving insulin-regulating
machines means laying the blame for a woman’s death at the feet of her grieving husband. Things
only get more complicated when his client asks him to bury an internal report that points to a
glitchy software update as the probable culprit. Luckily, Gretchen reminds Alex that it’s never

329
 Suits Episode Guide

too late to do the right thing, and he manages to work out a hefty settlement that allows the
widower to start a foundation in his wife’s name while also keeping his client afloat so that their
product can continue to save lives.
Donna persuades Harvey to go to bat for Scottie, but Sam is not so receptive to Harvey’s
settlement pitch – it’s Katrina who gets Sam to see that winning doesn’t have to mean taking
down Scottie’s career (and innocent people’s jobs) over a grudge. Scottie calls Donna to thank
her, and to let her know that she’ll be abiding by her promise to stay away from the firm... and
Harvey.
Louis puzzles over how to win his case while still abiding by his promise to Stan. After a
talk with Donna, he approaches Craig – not as opposing counsel but as a fellow patient – and
convinces him that keeping Dr. Lipschitz in his life will help him far more than any settlement
ever could. With his career secured, Dr. Lipschitz calls Louis to discuss the second condition:
that Louis transition to a new therapist once the case is over, as Stan feels that this personal
revelation has compromised their doctor-patient relationship. But once again, Louis controls his
emotions and convinces Dr. Lipschitz that his biggest breakthroughs have always come when
Stan reveals something of his own life, and this time is no different. Lipschitz agrees to keep
seeing Louis.
With the myriad moral dilemmas taking place around the firm, Donna still finds time to tell
Louis that she is seeing Thomas Kessler. Louis couldn’t be happier for Donna, but he also wants
to know when she will tell Harvey. Donna assures him that telling Harvey is on her list, but it
turns out that the reveal will come sooner than she expected – Thomas shows up at the firm in
anticipation of their date, letting the cat out of the bag... and leaving Harvey feeling surprisingly
lost.

Summary: Donna’s relationship complicates a deal for Harvey and Alex. Saman-
tha helps Louis get justice.

Thomas Kessler is excited at the prospect

of a big expansion deal moving ahead,
but an even bigger opportunity seemingly
falls into his lap when Harvey’s client Si-
mon Lowe, CEO of Pierrepont Malls, of-
fers Thomas an amazing deal to be the
home goods anchor in his shopping cen-
ters. Alex quickly flags a conflict of inter-
est, and it isn’t long before Simon and
Thomas are shaking hands and drafting
a press release. But it’s too good to be
true; it turns out that Simon was using
Thomas as a stalking horse to get another
company back to negotiations. Harvey is furious that Simon would deal in such bad faith, but
Simon doesn’t care, and as he points out, Harvey can’t say anything due to attorney/client priv-
ilege.
Sam helps Louis wrestle with feelings of powerlessness when he agrees to testify in court
against the man who mugged him. Despite Louis’ testimony, the mugger is set free on a tech-
nicality, leading Sam to suggest that Louis’ only path to peace of mind will be to take justice
into his own hands. Plagued by dreams of his assailant coming after the ones he loves, Louis
eventually gives Sam the green light to do what must be done (even if it’s illegal). However, Robert
warns Sam about the cost of painting outside legal lines – he is still haunted by the things they
did eight years prior when Sam faced a similar situation.
Katrina gives Brian his own client as part of her plan for the two to work together without
working too closely. However, Katrina is still drawn into the case and takes an uncharacteristic
gamble to help Brain clinch a victory. Their win once again confirms their working chemistry
– but when Brian’s wife’s suspicions are aroused, it brings him to the realization that he can’t
shut off his feelings for Katrina; the only way to preserve his marriage will be to leave the firm.
Heartbroken, Katrina realizes she must let him go. Louis, too, understands that Brian must leave
for the sake of his family, and allows him to take his new client with him.

 Suits Episode Guide

Harvey is bound to secrecy, but that doesn’t stop him from letting Alex know that they need to
do what it takes to get Thomas’ original expansion deal back or get Simon’s other prospect to go
away. Meanwhile, when Donna starts asking questions about Thomas’ deal, Harvey hesitantly
reveals the truth and promises he can fix the situation... but only if she doesn’t tell Thomas
what is going on. Donna agrees to keep quiet and give Harvey and Alex the time they need, but
the thought of Thomas losing his shot at expansion eventually becomes too much to bear, and
Donna spills the beans.
Sam heeds Robert’s words and comes up with a new plan – they’ll threaten the mugger with
a housing loophole that could lead to him losing his daughter unless he confesses to his crime.
Louis is appalled at the thought of tearing a family apart, but decides to do what must be done
to protect his own growing family. Sam and Louis confront the mugger and, using his daughter
as leverage, get him to confess. But while it seems Louis is safe again, Robert still isn’t pleased,
and he warns Sam that this habit if taking matters into her own hands could eventually come
back to bite her one day.
Donna’s choice sets of a chain reaction as Thomas angrily tells Alex he’ll be taking a deal with
his original landlord and sending out a press release, which has consequences for Simon’s deal.
Furious, Simon rightly guesses Harvey broke privilege, and he doesn’t hesitate to fire him. Later,
Donna tries to explain her side of the story to Harvey, but he doesn’t want to hear it; she lost
faith in him, and it hurts. To make matters worse, their conversation is interrupted by Daniel
Hardman – he’s been retained by Simon, who is suing the firm, and he plans to make Harvey
pay.

Production Code: S816
Summary: When Hardman comes looking for retribution, the firm rallies to Har-
vey’s defense.

Louis and Harvey mount their defense,

but no amount of fact-twisting can
change the truth: Harvey broke privilege.
Daniel has them dead to rights, and he’ll
stop at nothing to see Harvey disbarred.
Louis and Harvey try to bargain their way
out but there isn’t a deal sweet enough
to get Simon Lowe to drop his suit, and
Thomas won’t perjure himself to protect
them. Harvey tries to bargain with Hard-
man man to man, but Daniel makes it
clear that the only way he’ll drop his suit
is if Harvey resigns and puts Hardman’s
name back on the wall.
Robert leans on his years of friendship with Hardman in the hopes of brokering a peace, but it
soon becomes clear that Hardman will settle for nothing less than taking Harvey down. However,
Robert dangles an alternative: if he can convince his old firm to take Hardman on as a name
partner, will he drop the case? Hardman in intrigued, but convincing Rand and Kaldor will be
another matter. It turns out that Eric Kaldor would be amenable to the arrangement... but only
on the condition that Robert retire. In other words, no deal.
Harvey and Louis run an end around and convince Pierrepont’s chairwoman to axe Simon, fire
Hardman, and drop the suit, but Hardman triggers an ethics hearing in retaliation – vengeance
is in his reach, he’s not letting Harvey slip through his fingers so easily. With nowhere left to run,
the team is left to ruminate on the decisions that brought them to this point, and consider what
they will say when they are called to testify before the ethics board.
All the soul-searching leads both Donna and Harvey to cast a fresh eye on their relationship
again. Harvey pays a surprise call on Thomas to ask that when the time comes he point the
finger at Harvey in order to protect Donna at all costs. The visit leads Thomas to ask Donna who,
exactly, Harvey is to her, but she is far from sure.
Robert’s conscience weighs heavy with something he did years ago: as it turns out, Robert
manufactured evidence to put away a mugger who attacked Sam, but the mugger wound up
being murdered in his cell. Hoping to ease his troubled mind, Robert turns to Alex for advice but

333
 Suits Episode Guide

there are no easy answers. However, as the ethics hearing draws near, Robert eventually hits on
a plan to make up for what he did, and he asks Alex to help him carry it out...
As the ethics hearing kicks off, Daniel swiftly moves in for the kill, but everyone is caught off
guard when Robert steps up to take the fall for Harvey, stating that he was the one who broke
privilege. Robert loses his license, but a weight is lifted from his shoulders. Later, Robert reveals
the truth to Sam about what happened to her mugger and, during a tearful goodbye, encourages
her to lean on her new family at the firm. Meanwhile, Harvey grapples with what Robert has
done. A conversation with Sam leads to an epiphany, and he rushes to Donna’s apartment.
Donna opens the door and they wordlessly embrace each other and kiss, their passion giving
voice to the years of unspoken feelings between them as Donna leads him back to her bedroom.

Production Code: S901
Summary: Harvey and Samantha fight to keep Zane’s name on the wall. Alex
warns Louis of the consequences.

The episode begins with Harvey Specter

in bed with Donna Paulsen admitting
to her that he wished he came to his
senses sooner; just before they fall asleep
they realize that everything has changed.
Meanwhile, Samantha Wheeler receives
a phone call from Katrina Bennett while
she is at the gym. Katrina says she was in
the officer early in order to deal with the
Robert Zane situation when the call came
in. She orders Samantha to get into the
office immediately.
Donna phones Rachel, revealing that
it happened; but hangs up when Harveywalks into the room. He mocks her saying that he knows
she told Rachel and she better hope she gets the message before he listens to his. Louis confesses
that he is glad he came over the previous night and plans to come back tonight, but before he
can explain to her what changed his mind and made him come over there is a knock at the door
and Donna tells him that she knows who it is and ”it is bad!”
They decide to chance fate and Donna opens the door to Louis Litt who acknowledges they
are still in the same clothes from the previous night but jumps to the conclusion that they were
up all night trying to figure out how to handle the Zane situation. He doesn’t care that they left
him out of the strategy, but as long as they came up with a solution. Harvey says that Donna
is great at releases and she returns the compliment as Louis says he released a statement this
morning; Donna agrees with it, saying it is great saying they are still behind their partner. Once
Louis leaves, Harvey can’t understand how Louis is such a great lawyer and can’t see what is
right in front of his face; Donna reminds Harvey that he didn’t see it for 12 years either. Donna
feels they shouldn’t reveal their news when there is so much blowback coming from the hearing.
She reminds him it is not the time, suggesting he goes home and prepare to fight for Robert’s
good name.
Alex Williams is going for his morning jog when he is stopped by Stephen Falkner who is
from the NY Bar. He says he showed a lot of courage for him exposing Robert Zane; he admits it
wasn’t easy as Stephen reveals he is there to take the next step of removing Zane’s name from

337
 Suits Episode Guide

the letterhead. Alex knows what Robert did was wrong, but doesn’t feel it is his call. He is advised
to take his side when they go to court.
Donna calls Thomas Kessler, asking him if he is free for lunch and to call her back. Harvey
meets with Samantha feeling they need to lock some of Robert’s clients away but she informs
him that 3 have already left the firm; it gets worse because she phoned another 6 clients and
they will not return her calls; both fearing that someone already poisoned the well. She shows
him a memo that went out 2 days prior, feeling it is the same man who is trying to take down
Robert and just went after Harvey. She informs him they are going to pay a visit to Eric Kaldor.
Alex comes to see Thomas, who is furious that he was forced to lie the day before and insists
that Alex can make this right. Alex appreciates what he did, apologizing for how everything turned
out.
Samantha and Harvey wait at the ice rink to see Eric who comes off the ice, mocking them
about being too busy cleaning up Robert’s mess to come to play hockey. Samantha and Harvey
warn him that they’re not going to stand by and allow him to ruin a man’s reputation and steal
all his clients. Samantha reminds him that the entire firm is fighting him, but Eric taunts her
saying if it wasn’t for Harvey, all of Robert’s clients would still be at her firm. She says he can try
to drive a wedge between all of them, but Eric says the only way to end this is for Harvey to give
him 10 of his clients; after he calls Samantha ”sweetpea” she grabs him by the throat and says
he didn’t drive a wedge between them; advising him to call her sweetpea one more frigging time.
Eric tells them to think about his offer but if she lays a hand on him one more time he will have
her disbarred and disgraced; Samantha rolls her eyes.
Louis tells Alex that Harvey and Samantha are working on keeping Robert’s clients so they
may need backup. Alex informs Louis that he can’t even keep his own clients since Kessler left
them for lying for them at the hearing. Alex says he got approached by the NY Bar and if they
don’t take down Zane’s name, they will do it for them. Louis wants to know why Alex is so worked
up, but he says he has been punched in the gut two times in the past hour and he can’t just
stand by; Louis says he will check out the laws and if they can’t do what they are threatening
then they can go screw themselves.
Harvey thanks Samantha for not allowing Eric to drive that wedge, impressed with how she
acted. She isn’t tempted, but the one thing she learned from Robert is if one teammate is being
attacked, you don’t leave their side. She suggests the best defense is a good offense. Harvey
laughs, as he is reminded how much alike they are, toasting to going on the offense. Samantha
thanks Harvey for checking up on her the previous night because she was hurting; wanting to
know why he up and left. He admits he was hurting too and she believes he needed to be alone,
something he didn’t correct. She knows it is tough for him, knowing what Robert gave up for
him; both promising to go after Eric.
Donna receives a call from Thomas, who apologizes for not returning her call and firing Alex
had nothing to do with them as he was just business. He reminds her that she said everything
she needed to say yesterday, and he doesn’t need her to soft-peddle it; suggesting maybe they
get together another time, both saying their goodbyes.
Meanwhile, Louis comes home, revealing the bar wants them to take Robert’s name down. He
is told that all the students who were going to apply at the firm, are holding back feeling if he is
not going to distance himself from someone who has been disbarred then he doesn’t care about
the reputation of his firm. He refuses to do it, even though Jessica’s name has been removed
because she was guilty. He confides in her that Robert took a huge bullet for Harvey and Donna.
She reminds him that he doesn’t have a choice but she informs him that if she didn’t know him
the way she does, she would feel the same way her students do about it.
Donna talks to Harvey, who admits he is not going to be there tonight. She knew it since she
told him to put on his armor. He admits he didn’t tell Samantha about them, he lied to her, letting
her believe that he wanted to be alone last night. Donna understands him not wanting to hurt
someone, telling him that she and Thomas ended things; saying he never knew they were still
together. She swears Harvey didn’t do anything wrong; he thanks her and hangs up. Samantha
walks in with files, already thinking like Harvey and going after Ellen Rans.
Louis calls Henry, saying it is not a social call. He informs him they don’t have a single
applicant from any of the top ten schools, asking if he can steer some of them towards the firm.
Henry reminds him he is not a recruiter, Louis wants to come to one of his lectures, suggesting
he be one of his keynote speakers, but Henry says there is no way they would allow him to be a

338
 Suits Episode Guide

keynote speaker. Louis pleads with him, saying he has nowhere else to turn for help. He agrees
to help, only if Louis tells him the truth. Louis says if he has figured out that Robert didn’t do
this, then he can figure out the rest for himself. He demands to know how Harvey could have
done this on Louis’ watch. Henry says he is only concerned about Louis; who angrily tells him to
concern himself with what he asked him before the end of the week.
Samantha and Harvey work on the individual people, who insist they cannot ignore Robert
Zane problem; both denying they have a problem and stand by Zane, who is a great lawyer and
an even better person. People say they will only consider working with them if they let Samantha
Wheeler go too, but she is adamant she isn’t going anywhere either. They will not sign with them
and if they think anyone else will, they are not the great lawyer’s everyone else have said they
were.
Samantha calls Harvey, demanding to know where he is because if they don’t figure something
out soon; Eric will end up with all the clients. She admits to Louis that things are not going well
with Zane’s roster. He knows their reputation took a hit, but they have to stand tall. She isn’t
sure about their theory and since she cannot get a hold of Harvey, she has to wonder if he even
gives a shit about this at all. Louis lets it slip that Harvey does care, as the night this happened
he spent the entire night at Donna’s trying to figure out what to do. Samantha sits back, telling
Louis this is good to know and he might have just given her an idea on how to keep Robert’s
clients at all.
Alex receives a call from Stephen Falkner and reveals he knows they don’t have any precedent
to take out Zane’s name. Falkner informs him he is not there to just check-in, but for him to
also become a managing partner; revealing they have the authority to make changes to a firm’s
leadership when it fails. He won’t betray his partners as he likes them and reminds ”Steve” that
he is already facing consequences, so his threats are idle; telling him to ”go to hell” and to ”go fk
himself!”
Harvey finally returns to Samantha’s office, saying he was trying to come with some good
news but failed. She informs him that they are going to give Eric what he wants — Harvey’s
clients. She says things have changed and advises him to suggest he ask his girlfriend; revealing
she knows that he went to be with Donna and knows they were not talking all night. She tells
him to skip up until the part that he is giving up his clients. He insists she is jealous but she
says she lost everything that night as Robert was everything to her and she lost him because of
Harvey who was too busy having a little romp with the person whose fault this really was. She
tells him if his answer is ”no” she is going to put him through the wall.
Sheila comes to see Katrina, admitting they don’t like each other but they will both kill for
Louis and they need to work together. Katrina admires Robert but doesn’t think his name should
stay on the wall; Katrina agrees to do it but Sheila wants her name left out of it, saying she
was out at a book club meeting. Katrina stirs the pot, saying she should pick another book
as he would probably want to read it with her, suggesting another book that is about hockey;
something he would never like. Sheila tells Katrina that her beauty is a turn-off and she might
want to front that a bit.
Harvey tells Donna that Samantha knows and isn’t taking it well. Donna doesn’t blame
Samantha for that but he says Samantha had some very harsh words; and it sounds like she is
spoiling for a fight so Donna tells him to get into the ring at the gym in the morning with her and
allow them to get it over with; saying the most pissed off person wins and if he doesn’t give her
the fight he is not protecting her; he is disrespecting Samantha.
The following morning, Harvey has gloves on, where Samantha refuses to fight him. She wants
to put him through the wall but she doesn’t want him to feel bad when she does it. He taunts
her, saying she is in the ring with the man responsible for disbarring her mentor. She advises
him not to do this but she begins swinging and the fight is on; neither one hitting lightly, with
Samantha knocking him out cold.
Katrina comes to see Alex’s office, saying they need to talk before the building is crawling
through. She says the longer they keep Zane’s name on the building the worse it will be. It will
come down to a vote, and she reminds him that he owes her as this is the right thing to do. He
confesses that Robert didn’t do this, but it doesn’t matter because he said he did. Alex relents,
saying he will get Louis to agree.
Samantha and Harvey continue to spar with words but neither one wants to fight again. He
agrees to give up his clients to Eric but she admits that Robert wouldn’t want this either. She

339
 Suits Episode Guide

says they will fight for his clients and keep who they can keep, but Zane’s name is to stay up no
matter what. Harvey agrees he can live with that.
Louis is in his office when Henry calls him; he tells Louis not to think twice about this but
Harvard students are not going to be fooled by his speech, they will respond to his actions;
reminding him that he needs to stop avoiding the one action that needs to be done. Alex walks
in, seeing Louis got some bad news. Alex is there to talk to him about their reputation; saying
that even Katrina knows this is the right thing to do. He tells Louis that he has been approached
about taking over Louis’ position; worrying they if this is what they can do, what else can they
do. They need one more person’s vote, feeling Harvey is their only chance and he won’t like it.
Louis says he may agree if he sees Harvey by himself.
Harvey is on the phone with clients, saying there is nothing left to say; hanging up when
Louis walks in. Louis says they are losing too many clients and need to put an end to this and
take down Robert’s name. He says the bar is up to their asses and if they don’t do this, they
won’t have any associates next year. He says Harvey’s vote will happen, something Samantha
overhears, reminding Harvey that he gave her his word. She says if he does this, she will be gone
and he will be lucky if she doesn’t tell the bar what really happened. She storms out but Louis
feels they need to close up shop if his name stays up.
Harvey says they need to simply keep Robert’s clients and he knows exactly where to start.
Harvey walks into Eric’s office, telling him he is backing off and backing off now. Eric learns
the clients are Harvey’s, suggesting he takes the win and goes home. Eric promises to treat the
clients well as Harvey orders him to never say a bad word about Robert again.
Donna finds Samantha, informing her that Harvey gave up his clients to Eric; he does have
one more, but it is one of his favorites, so Donna hands over the file. Harvey wanted to make a
gesture, saying this is 100% his idea but she wanted to deliver this, saying she put herself over
the firm and it cost Samantha dearly. She doesn’t know if she would have done it any differently.
Samantha confesses that Robert left the firm for something he felt responsible for years earlier
and for what it is worth he is gone. Donna reminds her they are both there to pick up the slack.
Alex tells Katrina that he still owes her, but she says he did that when he went to convince
Louis. Alex knows he doesn’t owe her but that doesn’t mean she won’t come knocking. Katrina
wonders if he knows something she doesn’t but he tells her it is nothing worth telling her and
bids her goodnight.
Donna wonders why Harvey asked her to meet him at an apartment. She feels it isn’t crazy
that he created a fake tenant and kept the place the entire time. He tells her that she reminds
him of all the things he lost but now it shows him everything he should accept. He tells her
it feels like they have always been together. He thought he was going to lose everything at the
hearing, he didn’t but felt empty. He won and she wasn’t there, but that night everything finally
made senses. He is finally where he is supposed to be, she agrees for herself too. He tells her the
name he put on the fake lease was the name of the kid who never showed up for the interview;
he says that is what he loves about her and they kiss.
Louis walks to the elevator, staring at the names on the wall; but a woman walks off instead,
saying she is Faith Lee and there on behalf of the NY Bar Association. She gives him a court
order, giving her full control of his law firm. Louis shakes his head, she says he is correct and
can refuse but if that is the case, tomorrow morning the bar will suspend every partner in this
firm for 6 months. Louis is told the only way to avoid that outcome is to sign the document right
now.

Production Code: S902
Summary: The firm faces the repercussions of its actions. Samantha enlists Kat-
rina to help an old friend.

Faye Richardson’s arrival sends shock-

waves through halls of ZSLWW; as she
tells the partners, she intends to clean
up the firm, and she has the authority
to fire anyone who doesn’t walk the line.
Sam, in particular, chafes at the arrival of
this interloper, especially when Faye an-
nounces that her first order of business
will be to take down Robert’s name. Luck-
ily, Harvey is able to talk Sam out of quit-
ting on the spot, promising that they will
put Robert’s name back up after Faye is
gone.
Faye’s arrival complicates things further when she asks Donna to set up an exit interview for
Thomas Kessler; something about the way he fired the firm doesn’t sit well with Faye, and she
wants to probe deeper. The problem is, Harvey and Donna both know that Thomas won’t lie for
them again. If Faye does that interview, the truth about Harvey and Donna breaking privilege
will almost certainly be exposed.
Sam agrees to take a case for her old military friend Lucas, who believes he was unfairly
let go by his employer and wants to fight for his job. Sam starts to suspect that Lucas’s job
woes are actually the result of undiagnosed PTSD, but Lucas won’t seek help, fearing that being
reclassified will make it more difficult to for him find work in the future. Sam agrees to respect
his wishes; however, Faye worries that Sam’s personal attachment to Lucas may cause her to
cross a line in order to win, so she cuts off Sam’s access to funds and associates for the case.
Frustrated that Faye is undermining his authority as Managing Partner, Louis tasks Benjamin
with creating a program that will find a loophole in the Bar’s by-laws that they can use to remove
her. But when Benjamin hits a snag, Louis blows his top. Alex realizes it would be best for
everyone if the two of them blew off some steam, and the they wind up doing some bonding at
the bowling alley. Little do either of them realize that Louis’ angry tirade has driven Benjamin to
the extreme of trying to hack the Bar!
Without access to firm resources, Sam turns to Katrina for help, and while Katrina is wary,
she agrees to work on the case as long as Sam plays within the rules. However, it soon becomes
clear that for Sam to win while avoiding a mark on Lucas’ permanent record, she will have to

341
 Suits Episode Guide

play dirty. Luckily, Katrina convinces Sam that the best way to do right by her friend is to help
him get the treatment he needs.
Harvey convinces Thomas to come back to the firm in order to avoid the interview. Thomas
assures Harvey that he can handle Harvey and Donna being together; however, seeing Donna
again gives Thomas second thoughts, and he backs out at the last minute. With the exit interview
back in play, Donna tries a new tactic and opens up to Faye about her relationship with Thomas.
After hearing about the emotional backstory to Thomas’ departure, Faye tells Donna they can
cancel the exit interview, and thanks Donna for leveling with her.
Louis’ frustration mounts after being humiliated by Faye in front of the associates, and when
Faye learns what Benjamin is up to she confronts Louis yet again. Louis denies culpability; he
never asked Benjamin to hack into the Bar! But Faye counters that it was Louis’ bad behavior
that drove Benjamin to cross the line, and she warns Louis to straighten up or she may be forced
to let him go. Furious, Louis takes his anger out on Benjamin once again and tries to fire him,
but Faye intervenes and puts a stop to Louis’ lashing out. Humiliated again, Louis storms off,
but Faye approaches him quietly to avoid another scene and strips Louis of his title, leaving him
with the choice to accept it or resign.

Summary: Harvey takes a case to send Faye a message. Louis finds a new oppor-
tunity.

News of Louis’ demotion travels the halls

of the firm, eliciting different reactions
from the partners. While Harvey decides
he’s going to take action, Donna goes to
Louis to let him know that she and Har-
vey won’t let their new relationship stop
them from supporting him during this
difficult time. Meanwhile, Sam and Alex
put their heads together to find a way to
get rid of Faye, but when Sam suggests
they cross an ethical line it leads to a
heated exchange.
As Louis deals with his demons after
his demotion, he gets unexpected news when an old friend reaches out to offer him a judgeship.
Being a judge has always been Louis’ great dream. However, he isn’t sure what his friends would
do without him if he left... or what he would do without them. To make the matter more compli-
cated, his friend warns him that this may be his only chance; if the firm comes out on the wrong
side of the Faye Richardson situation, Louis could lose his shot at ever being a judge.
Katrina gives Susan another chance after the ambitious young associate makes a key save.
Eager to impress, Susan offers to use a family connection to help win a case, but Katrina warns
her against it. However, Susan disobeys, and when Katrina tries to take her off the case she
threatens to come forward with information about Katrina and Brian’s relationship unless Kat-
rina makes Susan her full time associate. After talking with Sam, Katrina decides to call Susan’s
bluff and takes her to Faye, giving her the opportunity to turn Katrina in. Susan winds up back-
ing down, and Katrina later explains to the young associate that her ambition is a good thing,
but it can;t be the only thing she has.
Sam makes amends with Alex after their argument; as Sam explains, she’s been off-kilter
since Robert left. Alex invites Sam to his house for dinner, figuring a nice family night might
be just the thing Sam needs. The night gets a little rocky when Alex and Rosalee learn their
headstrong daughter Joy backed into a pole in a parking garage with Alex’s car, but instead of
feeling awkward, Sam feels embraced by Alex’s family. In fact, she confides in Alex that the night
has convinced her to search for her biological parents.

Harvey approaches Dan Foley, a CEO who is being forced to sell his company, SensaTech, by
a board who happens to be represented by Faye’s old firm. The move puts Faye in a potentially
compromising position and Harvey thinks Faye will cross a line to come out on top, an assump-
tion that is seemingly confirmed when Dan is fired by the board. But though Harvey thinks he’s
caught Faye in the act, she maintains she did nothing wrong. In the end, Harvey uses one of his
connections to get another company to buy SensaTech and save Dan’s job, and Harvey and Faye
call it a draw.
Things get worse for Louis when Faye conscripts Gretchen as her own personal assistant for
a limited time. On tilt and in serious need of support, he tracks Donna and Harvey to their date
night restaurant, but things get worse when he sees them screen his call (they figured it was
work, not personal). Feeling abandoned, Louis decides to tell Harvey he is taking the judgeship.
Harvey is stunned, but the two friends get to the heart of the matter and make amends. Later,
Donna shows up at Louis’s apartment to show him the support he needs, and Louis announces
he will stay at the firm.

Production Code: S904
Summary: Faye decides to take action against Harvey and Donna’s relationship.
Harvey looks to impress Donna’s father.

Donna is eager to share the news of

her new relationship with her father, but
James rains on her parade a little when
he voices concerns about whether Harvey
is able to put Donna’s needs above his
own. Spirits are further dampened when
Faye tells Donna that her and Harvey’s
relationship constitutes a conflict of in-
terest, and that Donna will have to give
up her vote.
Alex gets a visit from his old colleague
Craig Cameron. Apparently, Alex jumped
the line back when he landed Masterson
Construction, and Craig never forgave him for it. Now Craig wants Alex to convince Sam to to
take a soft deal in her case against Craig’s client, or Craig will release damaging information on
the Reform Corp cover up. Alex begs Sam to take the deal; he’s still haunted by the fact that
he let Reform Corp get away with murder, and even though he was framed he doesn’t want his
family to find out. But as Sam points out, taking the deal would send up a huge red flag that
Faye would surely notice.
Louis is still seething over Faye poaching Gretchen from his desk, so when Faye asks Katrina
to write a new code of conduct for the firm Louis demands his black swan sneak in a clause that
would allow him to take Gretchen back. But Katrina decides against it — she won’t cross those
lines anymore, not even for her mentor — sending Louis further into a tailspin.
Donna feels diminished at work and deflated in her personal life, but she only tells Harvey
about the second part. Harvey tries to make nice with Donna’s father and lines up an interested
party for James’ latest business deal, but James isn’t pleased that Harvey looked into his affairs
without asking (it’s a sore subject, what with their previous history). The whole situation puts
Donna in an even worse mood, much to Harvey’s confusion, but she finally lets him in on her
exchange with Faye, leading Harvey’s own anger to grow.
Sam convinces Alex to let his wife in on the truth about the Reform Corp case, but things
become even more complicated when Rosalee tries to get involved. Feeling protective, Sam takes
both Alex and Rosalee out of the picture and goes to Craig herself, packing a file with dirt on
Craig ten times worse than what he has on Alex. But instead of burying him, Sam generously

345
 Suits Episode Guide

gives Craig the option to put their blackmail files aside and just fight the case in its merits — a
sign that maybe even Sam is willing to learn form her past mistakes.
Louis is seeing red after Katrina’s rejection and Harvey and Donna are furious with Faye, but
instead of focusing their anger on their shared enemy they wind up arguing over whose needs
trump whose, and whose bad behavior brought Faye into their nest n the first place. It’s only
when they realize that they are not treating each other with respect because they feel disrespected
by Faye that they are able to get back on the same page. The name partners present a united
front and go to Faye en masse to let her know they are waiving conflict of interest so that Donna
may keep her vote. If Faye doesn’t like it, they will all resign. Realizing she needs to be a bit more
respectful, Faye later tells Gretchen to report back to Louis’ desk.
Harvey goes back to James in a more respectful manner and the two do their best to let
bygones be bygones — James even takes Harvey up on his business offer. Donna is happy that
Harvey was able to make peace with her dad, and Harvey finally introduces Donna to his mother
(over the phone, that is).

Production Code: S905
Summary: Samantha finds herself caught in the middle of a tricky situation when
Mike picks a fight with Harvey.

Mike surprises Harvey at his apartment,

but he’s not just there to catch up. Turns
out that his client, basketball star Jeremy
Wall, has decided he wants out of his
contract with Brick Street after witness-
ing the exploitative work conditions of the
sneaker giant’s overseas factories. What
Mike doesn’t know is that Harvey gave
Brick Street to Sam, and she’s not about
to just hand them back. However, she’s
willing to share so that Mike and Harvey
can duke it out. Let’s get ready to rumble!
Louis bears the brunt of Sheila’s anger
when pregnancy starts to make her feel edgy, unattractive, and worst of all, incompetent; appar-
ently, a bout of ”baby brain” while she was at work caused a major donor to pull their $50,000
pledge. Hoping to lift her spirits, Louis goes to Benjamin (hat in hand after recently trying to
fire him) to ask for help making an anonymous $50,000 donation to make up for the lost fund-
ing. But Louis’ romantic gesture only makes Sheila feel unheard, and a whole lot angrier. Louis
suggests they have a couples counseling session with Dr. Lipschitz before things get worse.
Mike and Harvey agree to keep the fight fair, what with the Faye situation — that means no
moves that could lead to anyone getting disbarred or spending time in jail. Mike lands the first
blow by taking things public with a damaging newspaper ad. Donna begs Sam to keep things
civil in order to find a win-win so Sam goes to Mike with a settlement offer, but Mike slaps it
down, leaving Sam fuming. Meanwhile, Faye senses that the mix of Harvey, Sam and Mike could
be volatile and asks Alex to keep her abreast of the goings on, but Alex refuses to spy on his
colleagues.
Lipschitz works his magic and gets Sheila to open up — it turns out that pregnancy has
Sheila considering giving up her job in favor of full time motherhood, a feeling that is both very
surprising (Sheila never wanted kids) and very scary, since so much of her identity is wrapped
up in being a warrior. Louis assures Sheila that being a warrior has nothing to do with her job,
and that no matter what she chooses to do, he supports it with his whole being. The talk also
makes Louis realize that he needs to show Benjamin some appreciation, so he gives him a title
bump and a nice fat raise.

After trying (and failing comically) to leave a simple voice mail for Brian, Katrina realizes she
still hasn’t gotten over her former associate. Donna takes Katrina out for drinks in the hopes that
a night on the town will help her find someone new. But it turns out that Katrina doesn’t want
to party her problems away or find someone new; what Katrina really needs, as Donna points
out, is to find herself. Feeling inspired, Katrina signs up for a ballet class, and when a return VM
from Brian comes in she happily send it to trash without even listening.
Sam retaliates with a defamation suit, but she unwittingly plays into Mike’s hands. As the
case escalates and tension builds, Katrina warns Mike not to push Sam too far. But Mike is more
focused on beating Harvey, and after playing the public angle yet again he forces Harvey into a
position where he has no choice but to admit defeat — Mike outplayed him. But while Harvey
may be ok with conceding, Sam isn’t ready to surrender, and she fabricates evidence behind
Harvey’s back that gives them the upper hand. Mike feels betrayed, and Harvey lays into Sam for
both breaking his trust and brazenly crossing a line while Faye is breathing down their necks.
Unfortunately, Faye witnesses the confrontation, and while she may not have proof of Sam’s
wrongdoing, it doesn’t stop her from firing Sam on the spot.

Jonathan Gould (Reggie Stanton), Michael Lebovic (Judge)
Production Code: S908
Summary: An old foe forces Harvey to account for past actions. Esther has a
problem only Louis can solve.

Andrew Malik has Sean Cahill arrested

for conspiring with Harvey to get Mike
out of jail in exchange for taking down
William Sutter. Hoping to get their sto-
ries straight, Harvey convinces Sean to
hire him as his attorney; that way, any
of their conversations will be protected
under attorney-client privilege. But while
Harvey and Sean are on the same page,
the fact is that they did what Malik is ac-
cusing them of, and they have a moun-
tain of evidence to overcome. Not only
does Malik have a signed affidavit from
Kevin Miller backing his story, the slippery State’s Attorney has an even bigger bullet in his cham-
ber — a death bed confession from William Sutter, as told to none other than Charles Forstman.
Harvey tries to get Forstman to recant, but no amount of dealing can convince Forstman to table
his vendetta against Harvey.
Esther comes to Louis asking him for help stopping a merger between her company and a
company run by her former mentor, Paul Richman. It turns out that Richman sexually assaulted
Esther fifteen years prior, an event she has kept secret until now, and she has no interest in
working with him in any capacity ever again. But she also fears being put through the meat
grinder if she were to come forward, so she asks Louis to find another way to stop the deal.
However, when Louis loses his head and calls Richman out it blows up in his face, and Esther’s
board triggers her buyout clause. Furious at Louis for breaking her trust, Esther lashes out and
tells him to stay away.
Cahill uses the power of the SEC to pressure Malik into dropping the case but Malik hits
back, having Harvey and Cahill arrested and then playing them off each other in the hopes of
getting one of them to break. Malik’s gambit eventually pays off and Cahill cuts a deal that will
keep him and Harvey out of prison — after all, they did it. But Harvey is furious; they may have
broken the rules, but they did it to save Mike’s life. And while they may not be going to jail now,
Harvey is still going to get disbarred.
Katrina convinces Louis that they need outside help, and after Louis and Esther mend fences,
Louis turns to Sam to help him dig up whatever dirt they can on Paul. Katrina and Sam soon

353
 Suits Episode Guide

uncover a pattern of sexual assault and cover up in Paul’s past. They know that Paul’s other
victims will never violate the non-disclosure agreements they signed, so they decide to go after
the lawyers who helped facilitate the settlements. It isn’t long before they have ample evidence
against Paul; however, without someone willing to come forward it will amount to nothing. Kat-
rina sensitively lays out their conundrum to Esther — it will be up to her to decide whether or
not to come forward. Esther gathers her courage to speak up, and they use her words to put the
screws to Paul and force him to resign from his company.
Harvey seems to be at a dead end, until Alex does some digging and notices the details of
Harvey’s arrest warrant don’t add up. Backtracking from there, the team realizes that the time
line of Sutter’s so-called death bed confession is way off, making it inadmissible — Malik’s whole
case hinges on a lie concocted in collusion with Forstman! Harvey and Cahill bury the hatchet
and dig up the proof they need to have Malick arrested for fabricating evidence. Then Harvey
pays a visit to Forstman to let him know that his sentence is going to extended for perjury.
Louis and Esther’s victory has him thinking about the importance of family, and he heads
home to ask Sheila a very important question: will she marry him before the baby arrives? Sheila
happily agrees. Meanwhile, Harvey is similarly jovial after his own win, but his celebratory mood
is cut short when Donna shares the terrible news that his mother has died of a heart attack.

Summary: Mike helps Harvey get over a personal loss. An attempt to take down
Faye becomes complicated.

Family and friends gather for Lily

Specter’s funeral, where Harvey delivers a
touching eulogy for his mother. But while
Harvey may be putting up a strong front,
things are worse than they appear — as
Donna tells Mike, Lily’s death only adds
to the colossal stress Harvey feels watch-
ing his work family get picked apart by
Faye. Meanwhile, Marcus gives Harvey a
letter that Lily had addressed to him, but
Harvey decides to open it another day.
Could Mike and Sam be the key to
solving the Faye problem? At Donna’s be-
hest, Mike and Sam bury the hatchet and brainstorm on a plan to send Faye packing. It isn’t
long before Sam and Mike are dropping a wrongful termination suit on Faye’s desk, claiming she
had no right to fire Sam without proof of wrongdoing.
Furious, Faye offers Harvey and Louis a deal — if they represent her and win, she’ll consider
her work at the firm finished. Faye’s only stipulation is that they can’t collude with the other side
or tell them about the agreement, and if she finds out they cheated she’ll recommend the bar
dismantle the firm permanently. Harvey and Louis are horrified at the thought of defending Faye,
but when she points out that any other counsel she hires will make proving that Sam crossed a
line the cornerstone of their defense, they realize they have no choice if they want to keep Sam
from being disbarred. Unsurprisingly, the news that her friends are seemingly siding with Faye
doesn’t sit too well with Sam.
Donna asks Alex to dig into whether Faye really has the power to make good on her threat to
have the firm dismantled. What he learns is disheartening — not only does she have the power,
she’s actually done it before. But she’s also been sued for wrongful termination before, a piece
of information that Donna makes sure to get to Harvey ASAP. Mike does his own prep work,
approaching Katrina for inside help on the case. But while Katrina wants nothing more than to
see Faye gone, she won’t cross lines to do it. Meanwhile, Harvey subjects Faye to a vicious attack
during a preparatory mock trial, bringing up her previous wrongful termination suit and laying
bare her many abuses. Humiliation piles up as Harvey paints her as a villain to the entire firm,
until Faye walks out.

355
 Suits Episode Guide

The thought of Harvey’s mother is never far from his mind, and as the day of the trial arrives
he decides to open the letter from Lily. Inside he finds a treasured family wedding ring and a
note from Lily saying how excited she is to finally meet Donna, another quietly devastating blow
to Harvey’s fragile psyche.
Harvey and Louis waste no time in calling Sam to the stand. Louis is brutal, viciously attack-
ing Sam in the hopes of convincing the jury that she deserved to be fired. Later, Katrina calls
Louis out for putting Sam through the ringer, but while he hates what he has done, he can’t
reveal to Katrina why he did it. The next day, Mike and Sam get their chance to hit back, pick-
ing Faye apart on the stand with information about the previous wrongful termination suit and
details from the recent mock trial. Furious and embarrassed, Faye accuses Harvey and Louis of
leaking information to the other side, and she tells them their next move is going to be to prove
that Sam crossed the line, their previous deal be damned.
As Harvey and Louis rack their brains to come up with a way to appease Faye without destroy-
ing Sam, Katrina reveals that she was the one who leaked the information. Feeling overwhelmed
by his mother’s death and the stress of the trial, Harvey unleashes a torrent of anger on the
Junior Partner. Feeling contrite, Katrina goes to Faye and comes clean about the leak, hoping
Faye will call off the attack on Sam. Faye appreciates Katrina owning up to her mistake but it
isn’t enough, and she tells Katrina to pack her things — she’s fired. Meanwhile, Donna asks Mike
to put the case aside for a night and lend an ear to Harvey. The two share a drink and reminisce
about old times, a much-needed respite from the battle in court. But their break is brought to an
abrupt halt when Harvey lays a subpoena on the table; they are calling Mike to the stand. Mike’s
smile drops, and he tells Harvey he’ll see him in court.

Summary: As the firm faces potential destruction, the partners must go all-in to
save it.

Faye tells Harvey she’s willing to honor

their original agreement if he can con-
vince the jury that Sam’s firing was jus-
tified. If he can’t come through, however,
Faye will call to the stand the one per-
son who knows that Sam fabricated ev-
idence: Harvey. With no room for error,
Harvey calls Mike to the stand and per-
forms a surgical interrogation that all but
clinches victory. But while it looks like
the scales are tipping in their favor, Faye
decides she isn’t wiling to let a successful
defense of her integrity rest on chance,
and she informs Harvey that he is going to testify whether he likes it or not.
Backed against a wall, Harvey heads to Mike’s apartment and comes clean about his deal with
Faye. With no way out of testifying, Harvey plans to lie on the stand in order to protect Sam. But
Mike knows perjury will be suicide and he’s not ready to let Harvey throw in the towel just yet.
The way he sees it, he and Harvey conned people for years; if they want to beat Faye, they’ll need
to pull off one last con for old times’ sake.
Mike loops Sam and Robert in on the plan, while Harvey brings Donna and Louis up to
speed. Alex pays a visit to Katrina to get her on board in an integral role, and while she’s hurt
that Harvey hasn’t paid her a visit since she was fired, she knows which side she is on. Ditto
Gretchen, who isn’t afraid, even if prison could be in the cards. But while everyone is on board,
Harvey isn’t sure if he’s really ready to put them all in danger, and he turns to Donna, as always,
for moral direction. Harvey also reveals he has an ace in the hole, but he doesn’t want to play it
unless she’s good with it too.
Katrina pays a visit to Faye and announces that if Harvey takes the stand then she will too,
and she’ll make the case that Faye fired her without cause as well. Faye can see it’s extortion,
plain and simple, but she can also see it just might stick. Furious, she orders Harvey to quash
Katrina’s testimony. Harvey agrees, but only if Faye will put their agreement in writing so that
she can’t get out of it later.
The next day, Harvey gathers the partners to witness Faye signing their deal. But the meeting
is interrupted by Mike and Sam, who accuse Harvey of intimidating Katrina in order to stop her

from testifying. As tensions rise, angry words lead to a punch being thrown, and Faye ejects Mike
and Sam from the building. Disgusted, Faye announces she can’t wait to put the firm behind her
as she signs the agreement. But the fight was a distraction, designed to give Gretchen time to
swap documents; the paper Faye signed is actually a statement confessing she ordered Harvey
to witness tamper. The team claims victory! However, when it becomes clear that Faye won’t be
bullied into backing down, Harvey clears the room so he and Faye can deal, one to one.
The rest of the team waits anxiously until Harvey walks in and reports that he closed the
deal: Faye is gone! Louis makes his first order of business to bring Sam back, but Harvey won’t
divulge exactly what deal he made with Faye to get her to go. The team celebrates; they risked
everything for each other and for love, and it paid off.
With Faye gone, the team is free to attend to more personal matters. Louis asks Dr. Lipschitz
to officiate his wedding. It’s an evolutionary step forward in their relationship: they’re officially
friends. Flash forward to Louis’ wedding — it’s a beautiful day, and with Harvey at his side as his
best man and the love of his life in front of him, Louis couldn’t be happier. Things take a turn,
though, when Sheila’s water breaks in the middle of the ceremony. Louis shows preternatural
cool and makes sure they make it to ”I Do,” then rushes Sheila to an ambulance he had the
foresight to hire.
With the wedding reception in a strange state of limbo, Harvey decides to give those assembled
something to celebrate and asks Donna to marry him right there — after losing his mother, he
doesn’t want to waste another second. Of course, Donna says yes! Meanwhile, things hit a speed
bump at the hospital when Sheila is taken into the O.R. due to complications. It’s a roller coaster
of emotion for Louis, who must endure on his own the uncertainty of whether or not Sheila and
his new baby will make it. Thankfully, the doctor arrives to let him know that Sheila and their
new daughter, who Louis names Lucy, have pulled through. It’s momentous relief, matched by
the joyous occasion unfolding back at the wedding venue as Harvey and Donna exchange vows
and tie the knot in front of their friends.
Harvey and Donna dance and celebrate their love, then head to the hospital to meet Louis’
new daughter. The moment becomes bittersweet, though, when Harvey and Donna announce
that they are leaving the firm and moving to Seattle to work with Mike. It turns out, Harvey
leaving the firm was the ace he played to close Faye. Louis is in disbelief, but Harvey assures
him that it’s what he and Donna want — as Harvey’s dust up with Faye taught him, he still likes
playing in the gray, he just wants to do it for the good guys for a change. Louis is upset; they
said they’d always be there for him! But Donna assures him he doesn’t need them anymore. And
the truth is, they’ll always be a family.
Sam returns to the firm, and Louis tells her they’ll need to lean on each other more than ever.
Later, Louis, Sam and Alex ask Katrina to be a name partner — it’s the beginning of a new era
at the firm, and a new era for Louis’s young family. Meanwhile, Harvey and Mike revisit their
beginning and look forward to their future in Seattle, and Harvey and Donna take a look around
the office before saying goodbye. Later, Louis and Donna share one last ride down the elevator
together, while Harvey has a final sip of whiskey, sets his glass down on his desk, and walks out
of the offices of his firm for the last time.
