Previously on "Suits"...

Okay, people, listen up!

A new attorney has joined us,
Faye Richardson.

If you want me gone,

there's only one way
to make that happen.

Convince me you people
can be trusted to fly right.

I want you to find
a loophole in the Bar's bylaws

that I can use
to force them to remove her.

I come here and give you
a chance to clean up your act,

but I find out the managing
partner wants me gone so badly,

he ordered someone
to hack the New York Bar!

Louis, you don't understand.

She knew before
I even told her.

Bullshit!
You are fired.

Louis, you had no right
to ask him that.

Right, Harvey?

Right.

You're just agreeing
with Donna

because you don't want her
to be mad at you

now that you're
in a relationship.

You may be special master,
but I'm managing partner.

That gives me certain rights--

You're not
managing partner anymore.

Effective immediately.

You're stripped of your title

and all the duties
that go with it.

Here, this might
take the edge off.

Okay, Sheila,
I just got demoted.

It's the worst thing
that's ever happened to me.

How is a cup of rooibos
going to take the edge off?

Just drink it.

Good.

Now, I have to ask...

is this really the worst thing
that's ever happened to you?

Because as I recall,

you didn't even want
managing partner

when Donna asked you
to take it.

Because she asked me
the night I found out

you were pregnant.

It was the only time
in my entire life

I would've said
I didn't want the job.

And did you actually enjoy it
once you had it?

- You know I did.
- Really?

Trying to manage
your best friend,

accepting Brian Altman's
resignation,

taking Robert Zane's name
off the wall.

Sheila, you said
you fell in love with me

because I was a lion.

Now I'm just a housecat
with his balls cut off.

- Louis--
- Hear what I just said?

I'm a ball-less cat.

Which reminds me, when are we
getting another cat?

Oh, I'll tell you when.
Never!

But you said
you'd be open to a hairless!

That was said
in a vulnerable moment!

Louis, the point is,

it's not the end of the world,

and this isn't going
to last forever.

Sheila, I know the job
wasn't sunshine and rainbows,

but I was getting
really good at it.

And I don't know how long

I can keep going to work
not being in charge.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Couldn't help but notice

you didn't
come over last night.

I know.

Did you also know
that's the first night

we haven't spent together
since--

I did.

Donna, what's going on?

I didn't know
how to make sense of you

taking my side with Louis
when you didn't agree with me.

What do you mean?
I thought you would like that.

Well, I don't.

I don't want you saying things
that you don't believe.

And I want to know
why you did it.

I guess because...

I was afraid
you'd be mad at me.

Well, that's never
stopped you before.

Because before,
we weren't together.

Oh, my God.
Of course.

Harvey,
I'm not gonna leave you.

And I'm certainly not
gonna leave you

over something
that happens here.

I also don't want
something that happens here

to be the reason we don't
spend the night together.

Neither do I.

I guess we're just gonna
have to figure out a way

to make sure that our work
doesn't intrude on our lives.

Well, what if I said

we could start by going out
one night a week, just us,

and talk about anything
but this place?

I'd say that's a great idea.

What?

Where did you get this idea

for the whole
once-a-week dinner thing?

All right, look.

Once in a while,
not on a regular basis...

I like to watch "Oprah"
in the mornings.

No way.

It can't be that.
I'm not buying it.

I'm serious, Donna.

You'd be surprised
how common a problem it is

for couples to strike
the right work-life balance.

Who are you?

Look, I know things
about you too.

Does the word "Albuquerque"
mean anything to you?

Now, I told you that
in confidence,

and for you to bring that up
now, that is totally un--

- You see? I got ya.
- I hate to interrupt,

but you two need to drop
whatever you're doing

and go see Louis.

What is it, Gretchen?

They stripped him
of managing partner last night.

Oh, my God.

We need to go to him
right now.

No.

You go to him.

I need to go see Faye.

Isn't it enough
you took his firm?

You had to take
his title too?

I take it
you heard about Louis.

You're damn right I did,
and this isn't gonna stand.

It is, because
he instructed a subordinate

to hack the New York Bar.

He said he didn't
order Benjamin to do that,

and I believe him.

I don't care
what you believe.

He tried to fire the man
when he got caught.

That's unacceptable.

Damn it, not everybody

has to do everything
by your book.

And what you're still
failing to comprehend

is that if you
choose to disobey me,

there'll be consequences.

You want consequences,

I'll give you consequences.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means Louis may not
be managing partner anymore,

but I'm sure as hell
not answering to you.

Louis, I just heard.

Well, good for you.
I don't want to talk about it.

Okay, then why
don't you tell me

what you're gonna do
about it?

I got demoted, Donna.

There's nothing
I can do about it,

and I'd rather not dwell on it,

so unless you want
to get Harvey

so the two of you
can gang up on me again,

I would rather be alone.

Louis...

we didn't gang up on you.

What the hell
would you call it?

A mistake.

And if it makes you feel
any better,

I already spoke
to Harvey about it,

because you weren't
the only one upset

about him siding with me.

Why would that upset you?

Probably because my sister

turned every man
she was ever with

into a doormat,
but that's not the point.

You have a sister?

Not the point either, Louis.

She's much older, and I don't
want to talk about her.

What I want to say is that
what happened last night

will never happen again.

I don't want our relationship
to affect how we treat you.

- You really mean that?
- I do.

And, Louis,
if you ever need me or Harvey

during any
of this Faye bullshit,

we are here for you.

Hey,
you hear about Louis?

Of course I did.
It's all over the firm.

- Well?
- Well what?

What are we
gonna do about it?

We're not gonna do
anything about it,

because doing shit like
whatever you're thinking of

is what got us in this mess
in the first place.

Are trying
to put this on me?

Samantha,
I am fully aware

that you are not the reason
she is here,

but now that she is here,
I'm not gonna make things worse

by doing more unethical shit.

Then what if
we could come up with a way

to get her out
on the up-and-up?

What kind of way?

I don't know,
but we are lawyers.

We ought to be able
to come up with something.

You're a lawyer?

I thought all you did
was sashay in a room,

tell someone you got them,
and make them do what you want.

Well, that was my major,

but I have been known
to open a book or two.

Look, Alex,

I have grown
really fond of Louis.

He's gotta be hurting.

What do you say we at least
give it a try?

Okay, Samantha.

I'm in.

Mr. Specter.

I agreed to meet with you,
but I have to tell you,

the last person
I need right now

is another lawyer.

Please, call me Harvey,

and the last person you need

is another asshole whose agenda
is at odds with your own.

And what agenda is that?

Look, you didn't want
this takeover,

but your board
used your own law firm

to push it through anyway.

How do you know that?

Because I know what it's like
to have the house you built

get handed over
to someone else,

and it just so happens
the people doing it to you

are related to the woman
who's doing it to me.

So you're saying
don't hire you

because you care about me,

do it because
we share a common enemy?

You want your lawyer
to give you a hug,

or you want him
to get the job done?

I want
my goddamn company back.

Then the first thing
we need to do

is put the brakes on this sale
by suing the board.

A CEO can't sue
his own company.

As CEO, no, he can't.

As a shareholder, he can.

Seems like you put
a lot of thought into this

before you came to see me.

Think what I'll do
once you officially hire me.

What do you say?

I say
start drafting that suit.

Took care of that
before I got here too.

Dan, we do this, they're not
gonna take it lying down.

I need to know you're all in.

I'm already losing control
of my company.

What else have I got to lose?

Katrina,
do you have a moment?

Actually, Susan,
this isn't a great time.

- I'm neck-deep in the--
- The VersaLife case, I know.

Well, you probably don't know
that this firm

nearly lost VersaLife once
because of me

and I'm not about
to let it happen again.

Which is all the more reason
to let me help you.

Help me?

I noticed you've been
working without an associate

ever since Brian resigned.

And you thought if you
could fill Brian's shoes,

I'd take you on
as my associate.

Something like that.

Well, I appreciate you
putting yourself out there,

but I've got this handled.

Look, in your discovery,
there's an email

from your CEO to his board
about their stock tanking.

I know that, but it was
after it had already started.

The original date
was whited out.

See?

You can tell.

It's not a smoking gun--

But we need
to be able to explain it.

Good find, Susan.

If you hadn't caught that,
we would've been in trouble.

We?

Does that mean
we're working together?

It means
I'm giving you a chance.

Louis, I'm so glad

you were able to have the time
to come out.

Well, honestly, Your Honor,

I could use the time
out of the office.

Don't start with
the "Your Honor" crap, okay?

I'm here as your friend.

Okay, then, Saul...
old friend.

Let's get to it.

What kind of trouble
you in?

Louis, I'm not here
about my troubles.

I'm here about yours.

What are you talking about?

You remember when
we were back at Harvard

and you, uh--you charted out
your whole career?

Partner at a top law firm,
check.

Get my name on the wall, check.

And once I've done all that...

become a judge.

But what does that
have to do with anything?

Well, it has to do
with the fact

that Amy Janon's seat
is opening up

and you'd be the perfect person
to replace her.

Saul, are you
offering me a judgeship?

I am.

This has something to do with
Faye Richardson, doesn't it?

Damn it.

Louis, your ship is sinking,

and you shouldn't
have to go down with it.

Saul, that is bullshit.

I can weather this storm,
and I don't need your charity.

It's not charity.

You're the best lawyer
I ever worked with.

And normally I'd say,

"Don't worry.
It'll come around again."

But you come out on the wrong
side of this Faye thing,

and the only robe
you're ever gonna wear

is the one that's hanging
in your bathroom.

What the hell is this?

It's a recusal form
for you to sign.

It turns out, I got a case
against your old firm,

and make no mistake:
I'm taking it.

I get it.

You don't think
I've embraced this firm.

Well, I have.

So as long as you
conduct yourself aboveboard,

I won't just sign this;
I'll be rooting for you.

Bullshit.

You'll root for the people
who embraced your system.

But won't matter,
because after I kick their ass,

the world's gonna know
my system is better than yours.

And what system is that?

The one where you play
by whatever rules suit you?

Because if that's what you're
gonna use to win this--

I'll tell you
what I'm gonna use to win:

whatever I f------ have to.

Then I'll be forced
to remind you:

you cross one line,
and you'll be out on your ass.

I don't need to cross
any lines, Faye.

You de-balled these guys
so much, all I had to do

was threaten a lawsuit, and
they're shaking in their boots.

So unless you're here
to take my title

like you took Louis's, we're done.

I'll be watching you.

Enjoy the show.

Sheila...

I want to talk to you
about something

because you're probably
gonna hear about it anyway

but I want you
to hear it from me.

What is it, Louis?

I was offered a judgeship,
and I turned it down.

You turned down a judgeship

without even
discussing it with me?

Louis, being a judge
has always been your dream.

I know that.

But a judge makes
1/5 of what I do.

We have a child on the way,

not to mention
my firm is in trouble.

I don't want to leave
my friends in the lurch.

If they were
really your friends,

they wouldn't be asking you
to turn this down.

They didn't ask me
to turn it down,

because I didn't tell them
about it.

Well, you didn't
tell me about it either!

Okay, Sheila,
what is going on?

Where is this coming from?

I went to Saul, Louis.

You did what?

You said
you didn't know how long

you could keep going
not being in charge.

So you fabricated
a judgeship for me?

I didn't fabricate anything.

Every time I see the man,

he says you belong
on the bench.

When I went to him, Louis,

he was overjoyed.

He was?

He was.

Louis, Saul said if things
don't work out...

you will never
get this chance again.

All I'm asking is for you
to think about it.

Okay, Sheila.

I'll sleep on it.

Mm. I got it.

Then lay it on me, because
we've been at this for hours,

and I'm about to give up.

Okay, look here.

"If the presence
of a special master

"causes significant harm
to a firm,

they can be removed."

But she hasn't
caused any harm.

She hasn't caused
any harm yet.

But if all of a sudden,
a client left,

said it was her fault,

and then that
started an avalanche--

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What are you talking about?

I'm talking about
going to Gavin Andrews,

getting him to leave--
- Are you crazy?

- Just hear me out.
- No, Samantha.

Inducing a client to leave
isn't Faye causing us harm.

It's us causing us harm.

- He'd come back!
- I don't care!

- This discussion is over.
- Jesus Christ,

it's one little thing
to get her out of our lives.

It's not a little thing.
It's conspiracy.

And it sure as hell
isn't on the up-and-up

- like you agreed to.
- I don't believe it.

When did you become
such a goddamn coward?

Excuse me?

You had Katrina
pretend to be me,

and did that because
you had to balls to win.

And if I say yes
because you call me a coward,

then I am one.

So do what you want,
but I'm not ------- doing it.

And neither should you.

I have to say,
we may end up

getting totally screwed
on this, but...

Susan, you have really
done your research.

Thank you.
That means a lot to me.

Can I ask your advice
on something?

It's kind of personal.

Of course, Susan.
What is it?

So there's this paralegal.

He's smart and funny,
and he and I just click.

I've certainly
seen that happen before.

I just--I know how closely
you worked with Brian,

and I guess I want to know

how you kept things
professional.

I don't want to get into
me and Brian, Susan,

but if you want my advice,

I'd find a different paralegal.

Thanks.

All right,
let's get back to this.

Actually, I had an idea.

Lead counsel on the other side
is a longtime family friend.

What if I could
convince her to settle?

That's why you picked
this case, isn't it?

Because you thought

you could use your connections
to impress me?

There's nothing wrong

with taking advantage
of an opportunity.

No, you're right.
There isn't.

But in this
particular instance,

what you're proposing
isn't going to work.

But how do you know?

Because I know.

- But--
- Susan...

being an associate
means knowing when to drop it.

Show me you can do that.

If it pleases the court,

I would like to tell a story
about a noble ship's captain,

a villainous pirate by the name
of Faye Pooperson,

and a foul miscarriage
of justice.

Objection, Your Honor.
He's testifying.

And my name isn't Pooperson.

Richardson, Pooperson,
what's the difference?

That's unorthodox,
but I'll allow it.

You're just him in a wig.

A wig, if I may say,

you are rocking, Your Honor.

If I weren't married,
I'd be all over that.

I bet he's
so much better than Harvey.

I am.
Please proceed.

Your Honor, paragraph five
of the nautical code

states that a captain shall not
relinquish command

to a party of pirates.

If anyone here
is a pirate it's him,

and I am the British navy
in this situation.

Objection!
She's hijacking my metaphor!

Sustained.

Miss Pooperson,
this is your only warning.

He hasn't even
called a witness!

She does have a point.

I don't need a witness
to prove my case

to this jury of my peers.

Did he say peers?

I know
Can you believe this guy?

I think we've heard enough.

Mr. Foreman,
has the jury reached a verdict?

We have, Your Honor.

We find the defendant
guilty on all charges.

As if there was any question.

Miss Richardson,
I hereby sentence you to death.

Death?

I don't even know
what I'm on trial for!

And that's the beauty
of this whole thing.

Bailiff, take her away.

With pleasure.

- Well done.
- Well done.

For the record,

I meant what I said about
him being better than Harvey.

So true, so true.

So true, so true.

Hmm.

There were really 12 Harveys?

I know, right?
It was fantastic.

Maybe Sheila's right.

Maybe I should say yes.

I'd be in charge,
and no one

would ever push me
around again.

True, but--

Stan, a jury of Harveys
just found in my favor.

Don't tell me
you're gonna shit on this.

Louis, I'm sorry...

but I must point out

that your dream was filled
with the people you work with.

You are envisioning yourself
in a fantasy world

still surrounded by them.

What's your point?

My point is,
if you take the job,

they will not be there
with you.

Oh, God.

This whole time, I was worried

about what they would do
without me.

I hadn't even thought
about what I'd do about them.

And if you do
think about that?

I think
they're everything to me

and I don't want
to go anywhere.

Donna, good,
I was hoping you were in,

because I need a little help.

Sure, Faye, with what?

You want me to tell
Alex Williams

he's an associate now?

I take it you don't like
my decision regarding Louis.

Dislike is one of the ways

of describing
my feelings for you, Faye.

I doubt you want
to hear the other.

Then I'll get to it.

Whether you like it or not,

I am acting
managing partner now,

which means I have a full plate
and no help with it.

I need a secretary.

You want me
to be your secretary?

I need you to help me
get through the next few days,

and according to everyone,

you were the best secretary
this firm ever had.

I was the best secretary
any firm ever had,

which is one of the reasons
I am now COO.

Donna, I know you think
this is below your pay grade--

It is below my pay grade.

But more importantly,
it sends a message

that I am more valuable
as your lackey

than in my real position.

And I've had it with people
talking about messages

when the only message I
keep getting is, "Go to hell."

So if you're as loyal to
this firm as you say you are,

then accept
I need you to do this.

And if I don't?

Are you gonna demote me
like you did to Louis?

Louis used his position

to coerce borderline
illegal behavior.

I'm asking you
to manage some files.

I could demote
if you refuse,

but does it really
need to come to that?

You'll have your files taken
care of by the end of the day.

Thank you.

Hey.
Can I come in?

If I say no, you gonna say
it's because I'm a coward?

Alex...

I am so sorry.

I should not have said
what I said.

I know it's not an excuse,

but I've just really
been off-kilter

since Robert left.

It might not be
an excuse, but...

it's an explanation.

And I hope I'm not
overstepping,

but I think I know
what you need right now.

What do you mean?

When things aren't going well
for me in one part of my life,

I try to look to another.

Usually that other part
is family.

Are you trying to adopt me?

Let's take it
one step at a time.

Why don't you come over to
the house for dinner tonight?

It may not be the answer
to your problems, but...

Rosalie's been
asking about you.

Joy loves you.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah.

I think it'll be fun for you.

Though if it goes anything
like our lunch with Rosalie,

it sure as shit
won't be fun for me.

You know what I meant.

I did.

You in?

I'd love to.

Thank you, Alex.

Dan, hey.
Did you see the--

What the hell
have you been doing?

What we said I'd do--

Suing them is one thing,

but you took out
a full-page ad

saying that
they're endangering

the entire future
of the company.

Dan, you said
you'd stick with the plan,

and if a thing like this
is gonna rattle you--

It didn't rattle me.

It rattled them, and it's gonna
be a little difficult

to stick it out
when I've been fired.

What? They can't do that
in the middle of litigation.

Oh, they did.

And even if I win this thing,

I won't get my company back.

Listen to me.
It's not over.

- I can fix it.
- Then fix it,

because if I lose everything
from all this,

instead of suing the board,
I'll be suing you.

You're not gonna
believe this shit.

Harvey--

I just got a call
from Dan Foley.

They fired him, and now
he's threatening to sue me.

And I'm sorry about that, but
right now, I don't have time.

Donna, I just told you
I almost got sued--

But you didn't get sued,

and you aren't the only one
sick of that woman.

What?

She had the nerve to ask me
to be her secretary,

so I'm sorry that your case
isn't going well,

but right now, I don't ha--
Where are you going?

I'm gonna go to that woman

and tell her
she can do her own work.

You're not her servant.

Harvey, I don't need you
to fight my battles for me.

And yesterday you said

we shouldn't let what happens
here come between us.

Well, it's coming between us,
and I'm gonna put a stop to it.

You're right.
I did say that.

But the way to keep Faye
from coming between us

isn't fighting her.

It's using your idea.

What are you talking about?

We're gonna go out
for an early dinner,

and we're gonna
talk about anything

but this place
and that woman.

Donna,
my client just got fired.

And he's still gonna be fired
in three hours,

but if I know you,
if you clear your head,

he might not be fired in four.

So what do you say?

I say I'm in the mood
for Italian.

Absolutely, thank you.

Katrina,
you wanted to see me?

I didn't just want
to see you, Susan.

I want to know why
you willfully disregarded me

by contacting
your family friend.

Okay, I know you asked me
not to, but--

No, Susan,
I told you not to.

Because not only
is it unprofessional.

It's as much as
telling them they have us.

I'm sorry. I was only trying
to help us win.

No, you were trying
to help yourself,

and that is the last thing
I need in an associate.

You're off this case.

I think
you should reconsider.

And why would I ever do that?

Because I know
why Brian really left.

What did you just say to me?

I said a senior partner
and a married associate

were working closely together,
working nights together,

until suddenly he up and left
with no explanation,

no job lined up...

Susan, you do not
want to do this.

Do what?

Point out that things
went too far

and you bought his silence

by giving him
one of your clients?

Brian Altman left

because he decided
it was best for his family.

Yeah, I bet he did.

Well, unless you want
Faye Richardson

to suddenly be made aware
of the situation,

you'll make me your associate
by the end of the week.

Donna, there you are.

No, Gretchen, there I go,
because I'm just on my way out.

Well, you might want to stop
by Faye's office first.

She's looking for you.

Listen...

do me favor and don't tell her
you ran into me.

What's going on, Red?

She asked me to do
some secretarial work for her,

and I didn't finish it.

But I have a dinner
at Quattro Gatti tonight,

and I absolutely
cannot move it.

Which means you need
someone to run interference

while you and Harvey
get your smush face on.

That's right. I said it.

Wait. You know
about me and Harvey?

Please, you think Louis
can keep his mouth shut?

I asked him what he wanted
for lunch, and he blurted out,

"Harvey and Donna did it!"

Did he really do that?

Might as well have.

I'm happy for you, darling.
So you go on out to dinner.

I'll take care of whatever
Miss High and Mighty needs.

No, Gretchen, I couldn't
ask you to do that for me.

You're not asking.
I'm telling.

Don't worry.

I'll be so good to that woman,

she won't even think
to ask where you are.

Thank you, Gretchen.

I owe you one.

Hey, you.
Girl with coffee.

Any idea where Gretchen is?

- I'm sorry, I don't.
- Well, if you see her,

tell her I've been looking
all over for her.

I know where she is, Louis.

Jesus Christ.

In fact, I've been looking
all over for you.

She's working for me
on a temporary basis.

I'm sorry.
Say that again,

because my ears are
a little clogged with rage.

She did some work for me.
It was excellent--

Well, then clone her, because
you're not taking my secretary.

I didn't want
your secretary, Louis.

I asked Donna
to handle my work,

but she pawned it off
on Gretchen, and here we are.

I don't care what Donna did.
You have no right to do this.

Louis, if you just calm down,

I assure you,
once I get up and running,

you can have her back.

And if I don't calm down?

You know, I hear that a lot,
"And if I don't?"

Well, not everything's
a threat, Louis.

But if you insist
on making it one,

I promise you'll find
what you're looking for.

Oh, isn't this nice?

Where the hell is Donna?

Calm down, Louis.
I'm not gonna be here forever.

You are not
gonna be here at all,

because it doesn't
take a genius to figure out

that she went
for a tryst with Harvey.

You got stuck holding the ball,

and I'm getting her
back in here right now.

It wasn't a tryst,
and I didn't get stuck.

I volunteered.

Why the hell
would you do that?

'Cause they're
starting a new relationship.

And if you cared
about them at all,

you'd leave them alone.

Are you telling me
they couldn't

pick up the phone
when I called?

They probably
didn't even see the call.

They're out together.

Can't you understand that?

Gretchen...

I have endured more humiliation
in the last week

than I ever thought
was possible.

Donna specifically told me

that she would not let
her relationship with Harvey

get in the way
if I needed support.

On a scale from one to ten,

how much support do you think
I need right now?

Okay, Louis, I'm gonna
tell you where they are...

but I think you should
let it go till tomorrow.

The thing that
really sets me off

is her holier-than-thou act.

I mean, nobody
is that goody two-shoes.

Yeah, well,
what if she is?

And what if Bill Buckner
would've fielded that ball?

Okay, I don't know
who that is,

but it is time
we changed the subject,

because we said no work talk,

and we just spent half a bottle
of wine on Faye Richardson.

You're right.

Let's talk
about something else.

Anything else.

- Water's pretty good.
- Yeah.

It's wet.
It's--it's very wet.

So...

have you read
any good books lately?

Books?

That's the best you've got?
Water and books?

Hey, I don't see you
holding up your end.

"Water is wet"?
Who says that?

I know! I got flustered!

And I mean, who wouldn't?

We have spent
almost every minute

of every day together
for the last 15 years,

and now we can't think
of a single thing

to say to each other.

What if that's it?

What if we're all out of things
to say to each other?

That's what you say to me
when I'm worried

that we have nothing to say?

- What is wrong with you?
- Oh, my God.

What?

You just reminded me
of Ricky Garfield's mom.

He was new in town.
I was 16 years old.

I went over to his house,
and there she was,

beautiful redhead.

Had a crush on her
from the second I saw her.

Just realized you've always
reminded me of her.

What?

It's just nice to know
that there are still

things I get to find out
about you.

I like that.

Now how about
you tell me something

I don't know about you?

Alex, thank you
for inviting me to your home.

This is exactly what I needed.

Well, I sure as hell
couldn't take you bowling

like I did with Louis.

You took Louis bowling?

- How did that go?
- You'd be surprised.

He actually bowled
a perfect game.

- Get out.
- I shit you not.

All I had to do was
help him tap into his rage.

I can see that.

A few months ago,
we confronted his mugger.

He turned into a wild animal.

Whoa, look who decided
to show up!

And perfect timing.
I've got Chinese.

Samantha,
you can have Debbie's seat.

- She's got tap tonight.
- Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

I was looking forward
to meeting her,

because if she's half as cool

- as her sister--
- She's not.

Nothing like
the love of a sibling.

Hey, babe, I saw your bumper.

Did you want me
to take your car in tomorrow?

What are you talking about?

Have you not seen
the back of your car?

Looks like you hit
a yellow water buffalo.

Well, that's interesting,

because the last person
to drive the car was Joy.

Don't look at me.
Maybe somebody backed into you.

Joy, what happened?

Fine, I hit a pole
in the parking garage.

- It's not a big deal.
- The big deal is that

you were hoping
we wouldn't notice

until long after
you'd driven the car.

I-I wasn't thinking that.

I just didn't want you
to be mad at me.

And we wouldn't have been,
but we are now.

You have two choices:
you either pay for it,

or you're not driving anywhere
for a month.

- Wha--that's so unfair!
- Fair or not,

that's the way
it's gonna be.

Now, let's all sit down...

and try to still have
a pleasant evening.

I'm just saying,
it's not unusual

for a person to think that
after they've had one.

You thought you'd been
poisoned by a peppercorn?

A Szechuan peppercorn,

and didn't think
that it poisoned me.

I thought someone
had poisoned me.

Haven't you ever had one?

The pertinent question
isn't whether I've had them.

It's, what did you do
to deserve getting poisoned?

Well, that is neither
here nor there.

I knew it.
You're a black widow.

Harvey,
if I was a black widow,

I'd be the one
doing the poisoning.

You seem to know too much
about this subject.

I'm breaking up with you.

Good, I really think this
whole thing has run its course.

Holy shit.

Clearing my head
really did help.

I think I know
why they fired Dan.

And I think I know
what I'm gonna do about it.

Then let's go do it.

No.
Not until tomorrow.

Tonight is for us.

You know,
I think you might

be getting the hang
of this whole dinner thing.

Telling me old stories...

making me feel--

Oh, shoot, it's Louis.
Maybe I should get it.

Donna, the whole point
of tonight was just us.

I know, but after
the whole Faye thing,

I promised that we'd be there
for him if he needed us.

If there's an emergency,
he'll leave a voice mail.

You can call him right back.

Good. Now,
we are gonna pay the check,

and then I'm gonna go home
and I'm gonna be young Harvey,

and you are gonna be
Ricky Garfield's mom.

You're in early.

I usually am.
What can I do for you?

I had dinner last night
with Alex and his family,

and it reminded me that the
closest thing I have to family

are the people at this firm.

I never thanked you for
standing up to me with Lucas,

so...

thank you.

Speaking of standing up,

I stood up to you
more than once.

How did you know when to
give in to me and when not to?

Every time
you stood up to me,

I backed down

because you were in the right.

So I guess the question is,
are you in the right?

I am in the right.

The problem is, the person
standing up to me

has information
I don't want coming out.

Well, I can't
tell you the answer, Katrina,

but I can tell you,
whoever it is,

if you give them an inch,
they will take a mile.

You fired him, didn't you?

What?

You ran Johnson and Powell

when Dan Foley's contract
was written.

You knew there was a clause
that allowed them

to fire him during litigation,

and you had them
pull the trigger.

Are you out of your mind?

Are you gonna tell me
you didn't

have a conversation
with them about me?

Excuse me?

Right there.

A 15-minute call with you
and Johnson and Powell

not two hours
after you and I spoke.

You dug into
my phone records?

Answer my question,
or we'll do it in a deposition.

Did you talk to them
about me?

I have a subpoena right here,
and, Faye,

it isn't gonna look good

having an ethics expert
lie under oath.

Okay. You're right.
You got to me.

You pissed me off so much,
I was rooting for you to lose,

but unlike you,
I wouldn't act on that.

Then how do you explain
the phone call?

Easily. I didn't call them.
They called me.

And the reason they did

was to say
what an asshole you were.

It was
a 15-minute phone call.

Oh, they had plenty to say
on the matter,

but what they didn't do
is ask for my help,

because if they had,

my next call would've been
to the New York Bar.

Bullshit.

Then subpoena me.

I'll be happy to say all that
under oath.

And while you're at it,
subpoena Johnson and Powell.

They'll say the same thing.

And then maybe
you'll realize

all you accomplished
by taking this case

was getting Dan Foley fired.

Susan, do you mind
coming with me?

I take it you thought
about what we discussed?

I did.

And if you're
going to be my associate,

you'll need an office.

We just need
to get it approved.

Katrina, I've had a bit
of a long morning,

- so whatever it is--
- This'll just take a minute.

I know you run
a tight ethical ship,

and Susan has something

she would like to bring
to your attention.

I'm listening.

Susan's too modest to toot
her own horn, so I will.

We were working
on the VersaLife case together

when Susan made a mistake.

That doesn't sound
like something

- to toot your horn about.
- It wasn't the mistake.

It's what she did afterwards.

Susan came to me
and owned up to what she did.

Is this true?

Yes, it is.

Then it's nice to know
the culture here

hasn't corrupted everyone.

Was there something else?

Susan?

No, nothing else.

Then keep up the good work.

Louis, whatever it is,
now is not a great time.

Oh, I'm sure it's not.
Never seems to be anymore.

I just thought you should be
the first to know.

Know what?

I'm leaving.

To take a judgeship.

Now?
You're leaving now?

I know it's not
great timing, but--

Are you kidding me?
How could you do this to us?

We're in the middle of a war!

A war that has cost me
my title and my dignity.

And I keep waiting for
the shoes to finish dropping,

but they keep raining down.

Well, then let it rain!
You can fight this.

Don't you get it?
I'm not you.

I'm not the guy
it works out for.

- You don't need to be me.
- No, I don't,

but I don't even have you
in my goddamn corner anymore.

- Louis--
- Okay, you know what? Fine!

You want the truth?

I can take every last
humiliation

that woman can dish out,

but the one thing
that I can't take

is you and Donna
laughing at me.

What are you talking about?

I saw you.

I went to your restaurant
last night.

I saw you see
it was me calling,

you sent it to voice mail,
and you started laughing.

We weren't laughing at you.

We agreed
not to let work intrude,

so we didn't answer,

and I made a joke
about something else.

Swear to me that's true.

I swear.

Louis...

I'm in your corner.

But you didn't even
come see me.

Because I've been
fighting for you.

I get that, Harvey,

but the truth is...

I'd rather you'd just
come sit with me

than go tilting at windmills.

Windmills?
What are you talking about?

It's "Man of La Mancha."
Why do I even?

I should've
come to you, Louis.

I just didn't know what to say,
because I couldn't stand...

what she was doing
to my friend.

So...you want to become
a judge, I understand.

It's just, we've been through
so much together.

Please, don't let me
tilting at wind chimes

be the thing
that pulls us apart.

It's windmills.

Windmills, whatever.

I was wondering
when you'd show up.

How did you know I wouldn't
tell Faye about you and Brian?

I didn't.

I just knew I'd rather
you tell her than find out

what you'd be like
in six months.

Then why not
just turn me in?

Because I was ambitious
when I first got here too.

And ambition
isn't a bad thing, Susan,

but it can't be all you have.

Alex...

do you have a sec?

Yes, and before
you say anything,

I'm sorry about last night.

It's not what I had in mind.

Actually, I came here...

to thank you for it.

Come on, Samantha.
I know my daughter.

It was terrible.

It wasn't terrible.

It was family, and it was
exactly what I needed.

Well,
if that's what you needed,

you're in worse shape
than I thought.

I decided to find out
who my biological parents are.

What?

I wasn't gonna
tell you...

but you're being
such a dipshit,

I thought you should know.

Even watching you fight
made me appreciate...

what a wonderful family
you have.

And then I got to thinking
how Joy is so much a cross

between you and Rosalie,

and I thought...

I have to know.

So all I have to do
is be a dipshit

and you'll show me
your soft side?

Worked for Robert.

Thank you for trusting me
with that, Samantha.

It means a lot.

It means a lot to me too.

Thanks for having me over.

Yup.

Okay, wait,
let me get this straight.

His mankini was your idea?

You'd be surprised
how much a little constriction

increases virility
in the bedroom.

That is an unwanted fact.

Donna.

What are you doing here?

She came over to say how much

she wants you to stay
at the firm.

I'll admit, at first,
I wasn't in favor--

But then I told her
that Harvey and I

would never leave you.

Then I guess
it's a good thing

I already decided to stay.

You did?

I did.

Well...

now that I don't have to spend
the rest of my night begging,

there really is just one thing
left for us to do.

Are you saying
what I think you're saying?

I am.

Girls' night.

Oh, my God.
It's really happening.

Mm-hmm.

Are we watching
"Dirty Dancing"?

Should we start
with a round of "I Never"?

Doesn't matter to me.
Just choose fast.

I go to bed early,
and I'll have to pee ten times

between now and then...

including
in about five seconds.

- Go!
- It's your call, Louis.

Because tonight...

you are the most important
woman in the room.

Donna, that is the nicest
thing you've ever said to me.

"Dirty Dancing" it is.

Faye, funny running into you.

You appear
to be in fine spirits.

That's because someone
recently reminded me

I'm the guy
it always works out for.

Your modesty is astounding.

It isn't about modesty.
It's about character.

You see, Faye, the reason
things always work out for me

isn't that I sometimes
cross lines.

It's the relationship
I have with people.

What did you do?

I went to Kevin Miller.
He's an old friend of mine.

I told him he'd be a fool

to pass up an opportunity
to buy SensaTech.

I also told him he'd be a fool
not to hire back

the man that built that company
from scratch.

And what exactly
did you do for Mr. Miller

to become his friend?

I got him out of a jam,

like the way I'm willing
to let you out of one.

Excuse me?

Johnson and Powell
remain SensaTech's counsel.

You save face,
and all you have to do

is give Gretchen back to Louis.

I don't believe it.

You're leveraging a client
for your own purposes.

My client is fine with it.
I came through for him.

Well, I'm not fine with it,
and I don't play by your rules.

And what if Gretchen
isn't fine working for you?

I told him it was temporary,

but if you think
you're going to extort me

into getting her back early,

you can hand in
your resignation.

This isn't your firm, Faye.
It's mine.

- And I'm not going anywhere.
- And neither am I.

And for the record, you said
you'd do anything to win this,

but you haven't crossed
a single line.

So as far as I'm concerned,

I'm doing my job.
