Dr. Agard is back and looking happier than ever. Her sessions with Harvey hit quite the bump earlier this season, but can we assume from her happy expression that they're making progress? Let's hope so, since Harvey might need her testimonial if Louis ends up bringing assault and battery charges against him.
If Claire does in fact realize that Mike never went to law school after they broke up, then she could hold the key to bringing him – and Jessica and Harvey and Louis too – and his career crashing down. Will she go that far just to win her case?
If Mike can't convince Claire to keep quiet, maybe Rachel can? After all, she was duped by Mike's law school lies before, just like Claire was. The only difference is that Rachel has come to accept the good Mike can do with a degree, despite all the lies. Can Claire do the same?
Mike better do some fast thinking where Claire is concerned, since they didn't exactly part on the best of terms. If he can't convince her to give him a second chance and keep his secret, then that Junior Partner position might not be an issue for much longer.
Claire has heard the fake-lawyer song and dance before from Mike, so you can bet she'll be suspicious about how he ended up at a top tier law firm. The only question is, will she keep his secret despite their rocky past, or will she turn him (and everyone involved) into the board?
This week, Troian Bellisario reprises her role as Claire, Mike's ex from his pre-Harvey days. Back when Mike was still a bike messenger who smoked too much pot, he conned Claire into believing he was a law student just like her. Needless to say, things didn't end well.
However Daniel Hardman plans to come back on the scene, you can bet that Jessica Pearson will be ready for him. She fought tooth and nail to become managing partner, and she's not going to let him swoop back in without a fight. This might mean war, but it's about time we had another coup at P.S.L
Harvey will be trying to repair his friendship with Donna this week, but after her "friendly advice" rubs him the wrong way, we wonder if he might turn to Jessica for a different opinion. Unfortunately for him, Jessica and Donna almost always see eye to eye on what's best for Harvey, so he probably won't be getting what he wants to hear from either lady.
With Hardman closing in, it makes sense that Jessica would ask Mike to pair up with Soloff to see where exactly his loyalties lie. So far, Mike has the least turbulent relation with Jack -- which is not really saying much considering everything that's gone down so far -- so he would be the most likely to suss out if Jack is a friend or foe.
Let's have some real talk about Jack Soloff's intentions. Is he really in Hardman's pocket, or are his power plays an honest attempt to gain traction at the firm? He's been pretty surely slated as this year's villain, but if Mike can somehow manage to draw a good deed out of the man, you have to wonder if a little redemption is possible for him.
After last week's run in between Mike and Jack Soloff, I can't imagine co-counseling a case together is either man's dream job. Arguments and trickery are bound to happen when the two of them team up, but let's hope that they can stop their squabbling long enough to win the case.
Mike and Jack Soloff working together? What sort of strange hell dimension have we just been transported to? It looks like Mike might have to give partnering with Soloff another try this week, after Jessica asks him to play nice. Will these two come to an understanding or will we see more fireworks between the two lawyers?
Rachel: I just watched the man that I love go to prison so that none of you have to and it hasn't been five minutes and you're already ripping each other apart. Harvey: Rachel. Rachel: Let me finish. I thought I wanted to be alone tonight and then I realized that I didn't because I wanted to be with my family. If you can't keep it together tonight, of all nights, then as far as I'm concerned you can all rot in hell.
