- Amidst a lot of office wheelings and dealings, a bet between Harvey and Huntley moves Mike onto a new case, whereby he takes Rachel along as his own "Mike" to his "Harvey."
- Harvey and Mike try to find a way to remove Cameron as the prosecutor of Ava's case. When Stephen learns of their plan, he offers to help and even bets Harvey that his idea will work. Harvey kicks Mike off the case, so Mike, now working on a different case, asks Rachel to work with him in proving that a man embezzled from their client and getting him to return the money. They talk to some of the people he worked with and discover that one of the women is involved with him and try to get her to testify against him. Mike later joins Rachel for dinner with her parents, and that's when he learns a secret that Rachel hasn't told him. Meanwhile, Donna enjoys a tryst, and Louis fumes in his clash with Nigel.—rcs0411@yahoo.com
- Opens with Harvey upset that Donna's not in the office to give up some paperwork. 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 evidence saying Ava was connected to the murders. The trial is set for two weeks.
Donna tells Rachel she's still worried about telling Harvey about Huntley. 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 Ava's company.
Louis is upset when he learns Nigel has been communicating with the associates via memos and orders an associate, contrary Nigel's orders, to re-do some work.
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 Graham Stenton, 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 Stenton'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.
Stenton's associate, Clark, says she doesn't believe he manipulated the numbers. When she refers to Stenton 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 Stenton to give the money back. Mike gives hr a day.
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 fussy feline immediately.
Jessica tells Harvey that several important clients have just fired the firm. Gianopoulos purchased 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. She leaves it for Harvey and Stephen to let Edward Darby know.
Rachel invites Mike to dinner with her parents.
Ava meets with Harvey. Gianopoulos has been dumping her company's stock all day, losing tens of millions of dollars. She's furious when she learns he picked a fight with Gianopoulos. Ava 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 for Gianopoulos' recent actions is because he (Huntley) subpoenaed the man's daughter. Harvey thinks Huntley went way too far (and on his own, too), and the two argue. Huntley brings up his tryst with Donna as the true reason behind Harvey's ire, worsening their already heated discussion. For crossing the line twice, Harvey kicks Huntley off the case.
Rachel'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 Ava sell Gianopoulos her shares in exchange for voting rights, and in exchange Gianopoulos will give up Cameron.
In 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.
Stenton approaches Mike and Rachel. He's just married Clark, which legally means she wouldn't have to testify against him. Mike and Rachel 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 (i.e. "take his offer under advisement").
Ava is reluctant to sell shares to Gianopoulos. Jessica relays her experience merging with Darby and thinks Ava 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.
Setting aside their discussion/fight, Mike invites Rachel to play some bad cop/bad cop (with Clark).
Harvey has good news for Jessica. Cameron, in an effort to protect himself, never actually showed Gianopoulos the tape but left him alone 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 in regards to the 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 and Rachel tell Clark they are charging Stenton with stealing (a 15-year sentence) and her with accessory after the fact (a 5-year sentence). The charges will be filed in Connecticut, a state which doesn't stop married couples from testifying against each 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 them she'll get the money back.
Huntley congratulates Harvey on getting the tape thrown out and getting Ava 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.
Jessica tells Harvey she plans to make him a named partner. His name will be on the wall the following morning. Darby is treating her with the way she's treated Harvey and she wants them to be on the same side.
