Previously on "Suits"...

I know why Brian really left.

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.

I know where Gretchen is, Louis.

She's working for me
on a temporary basis.

I'm sorry. Say that again,

because my ears are a
little clogged with rage.

If you just calm down, I assure you,

once I get up and running,
you can have her back.

Susan made a mistake and
owned up to what she did.

- Is this true?
- It is.

I made a terrible mistake.

It was a guard who
was getting suspicious

of what was going on in there.

- They wanted me to put him down.
- And then what happened?

I killed him.

They tied all my bonuses
to all the key dates.

So you covered up a murder?

I had a wife and daughter.
What was I supposed to do?

I let this shit go.

You're gonna sign something

saying I had nothing to do with this.

Inflating my assets to
get a loan isn't shady.

- Everybody does it.
- If you involve Donna

in this deal, I will pull
every string I have

to tie your project up in
court for the next 20 years.

Okay, see you soon.

Love you too.

Is that for me?

Why, yes, it is.

A handsome coffee for my handsome man.

What do you want?

Why do I have to want something

to give you a compliment?

You don't, but you do.

You know you're not the
only one who can do that.

You heard me on the phone
with my father, didn't you?

Okay, you're the only
one who can do that.

But if you're gonna ask
me to come to breakfast,

I don't think it's a great idea.

But I wanna tell him about us,

and I thought we could do it together.

I get that, Donna, but
in case you forgot,

the first time I met the man,

I told him if he took your money

I'd shut down his deal.

Harvey, that was a long time ago.

And it was not so long
ago that he accused me

of putting you at risk over Mike.

Okay, maybe it is best
if I tell him myself.

But you're the two most
important men in my life,

and if I tell him that I choose you,

he's not gonna hold a grudge.

He's gonna be happy for us.

[sighs] In other words,

next time, it's the three of us.

Mm-hmm, you bet your ass it is.

And he's in town for a week,
so put your big boy pants on

and find us a restaurant,
or my father won't be

the only Paulsen you
have to worry about.

[pensive music]

Katrina, can I have a moment?

Of course,

but if you're here about the
Rose merger, you should...

I'm here about something else.

The other day, you brought
Susan into my office,

and I want to know why.

I told you: because I thought

she deserved credit for
owning up to her mistake.

And this isn't my first rodeo.

So why don't you tell me
what really happened?

If it's not your first rodeo,
then you know what happened.

She tried to pull something,

and I brought her to you to
show her it wouldn't work.

And what you should have
done is report her to me.

Why? So you could fire her?

I can't know what I would have done

if you don't tell me what she did.

Well, that's not going to happen, Faye,

because I believe she
deserved a second chance

and that I handled the
situation properly.

Good.

What do you mean, "good"?

You saw a problem,

and even though you took care of it

differently than I would
have, you didn't let it slide,

which makes you the
perfect woman for the job.

This is a code of conduct.

Which I want you to adapt for the firm.

I get it.

The partners won't buy in

if it doesn't come
from one of their own.

No, they won't.

Okay, I'll do it... on one condition.

I write the code as I see fit.

You accept it wholesale or not at all.

Another indication I
made the right choice.

♪ ♪

Tommy, what are you doing here so early?

Did something happen with
the Cooper deposition?

Actually, Alex, I'm here because I know

how hard you've been working.

And I think it's time
that you got a reward.

You're giving me Masterson Construction?

I am.

But I thought you were
gonna give it to Craig.

The thing is Craig's not married.

What does that have to do with it?

A man with a wife and
children truly understands

what it's like to be
a member of a family.

So I get to jump him in line

because I was fortunate
enough to fall in love?

That's how it works in
corporate America, Alex.

Maybe it is, but I still don't
want to do this to Craig.

Well, if it'll make you feel better,

whether you take Masterson or not,

Craig is not going to get them.

- Tommy...
- Tell you what.

Just think about it.

If you feel the same way
tomorrow, I'll, uh...

I'll get someone else.

[tense music]

Not bad...

if you're into million-dollar
views, that is.

It's not much, but it's home.

- Good to see you, Craig.
- You too, Alex.

Look, this isn't easy for me,
so I'm just gonna say it.

I need a favor.

Anything. Just name it.

Your lawsuit against Panasonic.

Do you know it?

I've heard a few things,

but they're not my client.

Why?

Because they're my client.

There's an offer on the table,

and I need your firm to take it.

And if what I heard
about that offer is true,

that's not a favor;
that's tanking a case.

Are you really gonna make me say it?

You took my place in line,
and I never recovered.

You owe me.

And whether you believe it
or not, I don't owe you.

Here's what I have to say about that.

[dark music]

What is that?

That is Masterson Construction.

I know all about it, Alex.

I don't know what you're talking about.

You know exactly what I'm talking about.

Tommy Bratton may have
chained me to a desk

for ten years,

but he left me with a parting gift.

♪ ♪

I know you covered up a conspiracy.

And if you know all that,
you know I was framed.

That doesn't mean that
this can't hurt you,

especially in light of your
firm's recent troubles.

I need this to close
by the end of the week.

So get it done, or that gets out.

And then you can explain
to everyone you know

what kind of man you really are.

Nobody messes with Louis
Litt, least of all two slobs

from the firm Shitty & Shithead.

We're not lawyers.

- What happened?
- We're Susan's parents.

She said we could visit.

She said the people here were so nice.

Well, of course you're Susan's parents.

You look exactly like
her. Job well done.

She's very attractive.

Not in a cause-of-action type of way.

I'm just giving you a mock example

of how not to behave

when Susan's parents are
in the conference room.

[laughs] Holy shit. Carry on.

Oh, hey, if anybody asks,

my name really isn't Louis Litt.

It's Alex Williams.

♪ ♪

Gretchen, I need you back.

Good morning to you too, Louis.

I don't have time for good mornings.

I just went to Conference Room C

and ripped them a new asshole.

Conference Room C?

Louis, those are Susan's parents.

I didn't know they were Susan's parents.

I was supposed to be in
Conference Room A, not C.

Those letters have nothing
to do with each other.

Then why'd you go to the wrong room?

Because Norma's granddaughter
is temping on my desk.

You know what her name is? Norma III.

Who does that?

On top of which, she has all
of her grandmother's body odor

and none of her competence.

- I'd be better off with the urn.
- Louis.

Gretchen, I cannot take it.

I need to know how long
Faye's gonna keep you.

Louis, there's only one way I can think

to get an answer on that,

but that's gonna require
huge amounts of time

and effort on your part.

What is it?

Go to her goddamn office and ask her.

Well, in that case, I need
some time to regather.

♪ ♪

[silverware clinking]

- Hi, Dad.
- Good to see you, sweetheart.

You too.

Thank you for making time for breakfast.

Of course.

Actually, your timing is perfect

because I have some news,

and it is so much better in person.

This is exciting. Don't
keep me in suspense.

Harvey and I have started
seeing each other.

Congratulations, Donna.

That's great news.

All right, let's get it out.

- Let's hear your misgivings.
- Who says I have misgivings?

Your face, your body language,

the way you said "congratulations"

as if I had just put my dog down.

All right.

Donna, from everything you've
told me over the years,

the man can be selfish.

Dad, if this has to do with Mike Ross,

Harvey would throw himself
in front of a train for me.

And I don't doubt that.

I just think you deserve
to be with somebody

who can put your needs above his own

not only when it comes to
matters of life and death.

You know, I told Harvey
that when you heard the news,

you'd be happy for me...

that he just didn't know you.

Sweetheart, you're one of
the smartest women I know.

I trust your judgment.

If you're happy, I'm happy for you.

Well, it doesn't feel that way.

Then I'm sorry.

Can we start this breakfast over?

[pensive music]

Sure, Dad.

Sure.

♪ ♪

What the fuck?

You're taking Masterson?

Craig, before you say anything,

I tried to say no.

And that's the kind of
thing that someone says

when they didn't try at all.

- I thought we were friends.
- We are.

And I'm telling you, he wasn't
gonna give them to you anyway.

- Why not?
- According to Bratton,

it's because I have a wife and kids.

That is bullshit.

And I'm not the one who said it; he is.

But put yourself in my
shoes. What would you do?

I would have gone to you and told you

before you heard it
through the grapevine.

Craig, I was working on something.

Well, you're too late,
because now I gotta go

figure out some other way
to make my bonus this year.

Listen to me.

What I was working on
was getting the go-ahead

to split Mayfield Foods with you.

We can share them.

Mayfield Foods is a tenth
the size of Masterson.

So keep your bullshit
gestures to yourself, okay?

Because I don't need any phony friends

looking out for me.

[phones ringing]

[knocks on glass]

Samantha, do you have a minute?

Depends. How important is it?

Important. Craig Cameron came to see me.

He's an old friend,
and he needs a favor.

Well, that favor better have
nothing to do with Panasonic.

Look, I know there's a deal
on the table, Samantha,

and I need you to take it.

This guy isn't your friend.

He's got something on you, doesn't he?

- I didn't say that.
- You didn't have to.

And you didn't come in here
to get me to take the deal.

You came here to get
me to bury your secret.

I came here because I thought

this goddamn thing had gone away.

This is the prison thing
with Bratton, isn't it?

- You know.
- Alex, I was Robert's fixer.

Of course I know.

Then take the deal that's on the table.

- I can't.
- Why not?

Because it's a shitty deal
and everyone knows it,

including Faye, which
means if I take it,

sooner or later, she's
gonna figure out why.

Goddamn it, Samantha,
I covered up a crime.

- Because you were framed.
- It doesn't matter.

Why not?

Because I let them get away with it.

I may have been framed,

but I let them get away with murder.

Samantha, I have two daughters.

I don't want them going through life

knowing that about their father.

What about Rosalie? What does she think?

She doesn't know, does she?

No.

Then you are gonna go home tonight

and tell your wife the whole story.

♪ ♪

What are you doing in my office, Faye?

I'm here because it's
come to my attention

that you and Harvey Specter
are in a relationship.

And how exactly did that
come to your attention?

The question is, what are
we going to do about it?

Are you asking if we're
planning on getting married?

'Cause I'm sorry to tell you
you're not on the guest list.

And our relationship is
none of your business.

Donna, when two of the
five members of management

have undue influence over each other,

something needs to be done.

What exactly are you
trying to tell me, Faye?

That you have to give up your vote.

- Excuse me?
- It's a clear conflict.

No law firm would allow this to stand.

Okay, let's just put aside the fact

that I think that's bullshit.

Are you saying that Harvey's vote

is more important than mine?

Yes, I am.

He's a senior partner

and a former managing partner.

I see what this is.

You keep trying to
diminish my role here.

Last week, it was trying to
make me a secretary again.

Now you're trying to make me nothing.

I'm trying to preserve the
interests of this law firm.

And if you want to
take it up with Harvey

and he thinks your value
here is higher than his,

he can certainly give up
his vote instead of you.

But as of right now, the
next time there's a vote,

only one of you is going to have one.

♪ ♪

There you are.

I've been looking all over for you.

Actually, I am in the
middle of something,

so if you don't mind...

I got it. You're busy.

I just wanted to know
how your breakfast went.

It wasn't great, Harvey.

He said if I'm happy, he's happy,

but if the two of you
can't figure out a way

to share a meal together,

then what the hell are we doing?

Whoa, hold a second.
"What are we doing?"

Are you saying you want to end this?

No, Harvey, I am saying
that I want a relationship

with someone who, at some point,

will get along with my father.

Donna, he said he was happy for you.

It's not the biggest deal in the world

if we don't get along.

You mean like the way
you didn't get along

with your mother for most of your life?

That has nothing to do with this.

Doesn't it?

Have you even told your mother about us?

Donna...

Well, I will take that as a no.

I didn't tell her because
I didn't think to.

And you didn't think to

because your mother hasn't been
a regular part of your life.

But my father's been a
regular part of mine,

and I shouldn't have
to give up something

that's important to me

just because I'm in a
relationship with you.

Donna, is... is there
something else going on?

♪ ♪

Isn't my father enough, Harvey?

He said that you wouldn't put me first.

Well, putting me first

would mean fixing your
relationship with him.

if you can't figure
out a way to do that,

then maybe he's right.

of conduct for Faye?

Yes. How did you know that?

Because I found this draft on her desk

with your name on it.

You went through her things?

No, I went in there to ask

when I could have Gretchen back,

but now I don't have to ask

because you're gonna
get her back for me.

"Personnel reassignments
are the sole purview

of the name partners".

Louis, that isn't a code of conduct.

- That belongs in the bylaws.
- Doesn't matter where it goes.

Harvey.

- What a pleasant surprise.
- Hey, Mom.

Do you remember when I told
you about a very special person

who was responsible for us reconciling?

I do.

I also remember putting
my foot in my mouth

when I thought that person was Paula.

[laughs] Well, her name is Donna.

We've been seeing each other,

and I haven't exactly
told her yet, but...

She's the one.

Harvey, that's fantastic.

I have been rooting for you

and Donna to get together for years.

What?

How do you even know who she is?

Because you have a brother

who's as big a fan of hers as I am.

I am so happy for you, Harvey.

Thanks, Mom.

Why do I get the sense
there's something else?

Nothing.

It's just, her father
and I have some history,

and he's not exactly crazy about me.

I'm not sure what to do about it.

Harvey, you may rub some
people the wrong way,

but you have a generous heart.

Go to him. Make some kind of gesture.

I'm sure it'll work out.

- And what if it doesn't?
- Then you have him call me.

I'll tell him my unbiased opinion

about what an amazing man my son is.

Holy shit.

- Uh-uh, she didn't just walk.

She sauntered. Look at that again.

Alex, what's going on?

A few weeks ago, I visited
one of Masterson's sites

and a guard slipped me a note.

It said an inmate died
when a scaffolding broke

and the prison has been covering it up.

My God.

I started looking into it.

Then, today, when I tried
to call the guard at home,

his wife said he had
been killed by an inmate.

Wanted to make sure the girls
were asleep before I got home.

What's going on?

Do you remember when
I was at Bratton Gould

and I found out that
guard had been killed?

Yeah, of course.

Well, I didn't tell you the whole story.

They were extending prisoner
sentences for profit,

and...

they killed that guard to cover it up.

What? Wait, but you told me...

I know what I told you, Rosalie.

I lied...

because when I went to Tommy Bratton,

I found out he was in on it,

and he made it look
like I was in on it too.

Why are you telling me this now?

Because a former colleague
of mine found out,

and if Samantha doesn't
tank a case against him,

he's going to expose me.

So let me get this straight:

you left me out of this back then,

and you only telling me now
because you got caught?

I left you out to protect you.

No, you left me out because you knew

I would have told you to come forward.

They framed me, Rosalie.

If I came forward, I
was going to prison too.

And for what?

It wasn't gonna bring
those two people back.

You said they were extending sentences.

People of color.

It's what we talked
about back in law school,

and you just let them
keep right on doing it?

You think it didn't kill me to do that?

I wouldn't know what it did to you

because you didn't bother to tell me.

- Of course.

Did you think about our
conversation yesterday?

As a matter of fact, I did,

How's that?

That you're serving the
interests of the firm.

So I'm here to explain how Harvey and I

both having a vote serves the firm.

Donna...

We don't just influence each other,

we balance each other.

We make each other consider
opposing points of view,

and then, in the end,
we do what we think

will make the firm stronger,

whether we're in agreement or not.

And I don't doubt that's true,

but your individual
circumstances don't matter.

Okay, let's just get to it.

Is this because of you
and your ex-husband?

Excuse me?

You act like this isn't
personal, but I think it is.

You don't know anything
about my ex-husband.

I know that you had a conflict at work

and he ended up getting fired.

But Harvey and I aren't you,

and I don't appreciate
you making us into you.

And this isn't a negotiation.

This is a conflict of interest,
and I will not be cajoled,

threatened, or coerced
into thinking it's not.

As I said, who gives up
their vote is your call,

but make a decision by tomorrow

or I'll make one for you.

stories, but I also know

that you have concerns about me...

that I've taken some steps

to alleviate them.

inviting me to talk
man-to-man is a great start.

Well, if you like that, then
you're gonna love this.

James, I'm just trying to help.

And if I did the same thing
to you, would you think

it was because I was trying to help

or trying to buy your approval?

I'm not trying to buy anything.

No, you're just giving
me a bunch of money

and asking me to like you.

James, it was a gesture.

And I know what you think of me,

but you're overreacting.

You know what, Harvey?

Yes, Louis. "Used to".

Oh, goddamn it, Katrina,
don't you get it?

She took Gretchen.

We don't put a stop to her now

and we won't even have a say

over what kind of pencils we use.

This whole thing is a conspiracy.

They've been using inmates

No, we don't. We're their lawyers, Alex.

allowing the inmates to do
Masterson's construction.

I didn't get any bonus yesterday.

Well, it seems you haven't
checked your account yet.

Trust me, it's there.

You didn't give Masterson to me

because I'm more stable than Craig.

You gave it to me because I'm
more vulnerable than Craig.

I have no idea what
you're talking about,

You need someone to talk to about it.

No, I need to do something about it.

Look, I understand that you're upset,

And if you think I'm here

Nobody threatens my man

Rosalie, what exactly

I want your help figuring out

He may not follow through,

Are you kidding me? Alex
could lose everything.

I can't take that kind of risk.

Can I get you a cup of coffee,

or are you all coffee'd out?

- Donna...
- I can't believe it.

You went and you stuck
your nose into his deal.

Because I was trying
to make up with him,

like you asked me.

Harvey, don't you get it?

Your history is you
making it clear to him

that you think he's a bad businessman.

I was just giving him some help.

No, you showed him that
you don't respect him,

that you think you're better than him.

And as far as I'm concerned,

you think you're better than me.

Donna, what's going on?

Because maybe I messed up,

but you know I don't
think I'm better than you.

Maybe you don't, Harvey, but Faye does.

What are you talking about?

She said that since we're together,

one of us has to give up their vote,

and that one of us is me.

What? Why didn't you tell me?

Because I didn't want to hear you say

that your vote is more
important than mine.

I wouldn't have said that.

I would have put a stop to it,
which I'm gonna do right now.

- Good, you're both here.
- What is it now, Louis?

We need to do something about Faye.

She took Gretchen and now she's
turned Katrina against me.

Well, I'm sorry, Louis,

but right now we have
bigger fish to fry,

because Faye said Donna
has to lose her vote

because we're seeing each other.

That's bullshit. She can't do that.

Which is what I'm about to tell her.

- No, you're not.
- Well, then,

I'm coming with you.
We'll kill two birds

- with one stone.
- You're not coming anywhere.

We only have so much leverage.

Donna losing her vote trumps
you getting Gretchen back,

and we have to pick our battles.

And what a surprise; the
battle we're picking is yours.

Well, I'm not having it.

I say we go in there as a united front

and get it all back at once.

And I say we wouldn't
have to go in there at all

if you hadn't have let her into
our house in the first place.

- Harvey.
- What'd you just say to me?

You heard me.

You let her in here, and
you didn't even put up

an ounce of resistance.

Are you fucking kidding me?

She's here because Robert Zane
fell on his sword for you.

And let's just go back a little further.

She also wouldn't be here if
Jessica hadn't been disbarred,

which only happened because
you hired Mike Ross.

someone for Faye being here,

look in the goddamn mirror!

Donna and I were arguing.

I guess it is.

The thing is, Louis,
