- Update on everybody's love life: Mike and Rachel are still going strong, Harvey has moved on to somebody new, and Jessica is dating somebody we don't see.
Mike meets with Walter Gillis to make a large offer for his distribution centers and talk about the fact his company is in danger of falling to a hostile takeover. Gillis is uncomfortable selling his company without knowing Mike's plans. Mike warns of Walter's need for cash when the predators come knocking.
Jessica seeks Harvey. Rachel and Donna try to cover for him but Jessica's not having it. They all know that Harvey's "morning meeting outside the office" means "booty call." Jessica will see him when he "resurfaces."
Mike is confident his acquisition of the distribution centers will make Jonathan happy; instead, Jonathan tells Mike he's unhappy that Mike hasn't yet started making them real money. He thinks Mike, after three months, is "hitting singles" rather than home runs.
Jessica tells Harvey she wants him to meet with Logan Sanders, who is taking over for his father running a large investment company. He's a "young lion," whom Harvey feels won't like things handed to him on a silver platter. "A hunt' says an impressed Jessica.
Mike meets with Harvey to relay his plan to buy Gillis' company and keep it alive. He hasn't bought the requisite five percent shares for a hostile takeover, which Harvey thinks it's a terrible plan. Still, the insulting banter between Mike and Harvey and Donna remains light and playful.
Katrina and Louis confer on their findings that Woodall is sending Jeff Malone of the SEC after the firm. Louis thinks if he alerts Jessica and Harvey to this fact, then takes Malone down himself, it will help him become a name partner.
Louis goes to Harvey's office and hears him talk about not meeting with Logan because you never want to smell of desperation. Harvey tells Donna to give Rachel the rest of the day off. This is clearly a message for Mike that Harvey thinks his idea is terrible. Harvey does not want Donna's advice on the matter.
Malone shows up unannounced to meet with Jessica and Harvey. He tells them in a week he'll being going after them on behalf of the SEC, but he hopes to leverage that fact into a partnership with them before the assignment comes up. Malone's plan is to fight the SEC by working for them.
Louis tells Katrina his new plan is patience. He thinks when Malone comes calling, Jessica and Harvey will come to him.
Jessica tells Harvey she doesn't want to hire Malone, primarily because she doesn't like his strategy. She thinks Louis can handle the SEC. Harvey points out that Louis didn't know Malone was coming or wasn't man enough to claim the case for himself if he did.
Rachel arrives at Mike's office and tells him she's been given the day off. She wants to celebrate, but Mike is concerned.
That night Mike goes to Harvey's place and tells him he's planning to interview law firms the following day. He's putting Pearson-Specter on review. Mike tells him, if he doesn't get on board with his Gillis plan, he's finding a new law firm.
The next morning Mike tells Rachel that her getting the day off wasn't for the reason she thought.
That day at the office, Rachel asks Harvey not to use her as leverage between him and Mike. He agrees with her.
Logan shows up unannounced to see Harvey. He's planning a hostile takeover of Gillis Industries and already owns the 4.9 percent needed to start the process. Harvey ends the meeting abruptly as this creates a conflict with an existing client (Mike). Logan dangles his company's billions in front of Harvey that could disappear over this conflict.
Katrina tells Louis about Malone showing up to meet with Jessica and Harvey. Instead of talking about Malone, Harvey tells Louis about Logan Sanders and Mike. Because Mike formally put them in review, Louis tells him he needs to drop Mike.
To motivate him, Katrina gives Louis a business card featuring "Pearson-Specter-Litt." Louis is sufficiently overcome.
Jessica drops by to see Malone in his office. They are dating but keeping it on the QT. She's upset he didn't come to her before making his move. He admits that he probably didn't handle the situation perfectly, but says he wants to work at her firm and continue to see her romantically. She says it's either one or the other.
Harvey comes to Mike's office and tells him he has a conflict. The only way he can continue with Mike is if Mike drops the review, which Mike won't do, thereby forcing Harvey to work for Logan Sanders.
Harvey comes home to find Jessica there, cooking. She tells him she's seeing Malone. He advises her to decide whether she values the romantic relationship more than him working at the firm.
Mike tells Jonathan the only way he can compete with Harvey's conflict is with some money. He tells Jonathan to "Trust me. I did my homework." Jonathan gives his approval.
Mike sees Gillis at his home with an offer to buy the company. When Gillis says he doesn't trust him, Mike references Gillis' dead son Phillip and the fact the company was a part of their relationship. Mike promises never to sell him out and Gillis says "All right, I'm in."
Harvey waits for Rachel in her office. He wants to make sure she's okay if the firm has a street fight with Mike. She confirms her loyalty to the firm.
Harvey tells Logan he knows somebody else is going after Gillis, but he can't reveal who for another hour.
Donna hints to Louis that what Harvey told him earlier is bogus. Louis rushes to Katrina and tells her Jessica is hiring someone else and they need to convince her it should be him.
Jessica offers Malone the job. He accepts. She says it means this night is their last together.
Harvey goes to Mike with a contract for him to waive the conflict he has because he heard Mike's offer first. Mike anticipated this and pre-signed one for him. The fight is on.
Rachel tells Mike the married man she once had an affair with was Logan.
