Suits

Previously, on "Suits"...

I got approached today by the New York Bar.

The guy pretty much told me

if we don't take Zane's name down

they'll do it for us.

If you can't tell me who you are to him,

maybe you can tell me who he is to you.

I just know that he's somebody

that I can't seem to figure out

how to cut out of me.

I know exactly what you two are doing.

Louis, before you jump...

You were up all night trying to figure out

how you were gonna handle the Zane situation.

You're my lawyer. You knew something,

and you kept it from me.

We've been over this. The reason I...

What we haven't been over

is that I was forced to lie yesterday.

The longer we leave his name up there,

the more damage we inflict on ourselves.

No, I'm not doing it.

The Bar tried to get me to take over as managing partner.

You're here to tell me you're taking over?

I'm here to tell you that if they can do that,

what else can they do?

We need to put an end to this.

- What are you talking about? - I'm talking about

- taking Robert's name down. - What's going on here?

If we don't do this, this firm has no future.

If you do this, you'll be lucky

if I don't go to the Bar and tell them

what really happened.

This is a court order

granting me full control of your law firm.

You can refuse, in which case

the Bar will suspend every partner

in this firm for six months.

You up for another round?

You're probably the only one here

who could give me a real fight,

but I doubt a workout is why you texted.

You always did call me on my shit.

So what's going on, Lucas?

To put it bluntly, I got fired.

What? Last I heard the job was going great.

It was, but we just missed out on a DOD contract.

Which means they're letting guys go.

But only one from my department.

And the guy they're keeping is the CEO's son-in-law.

It's nepotism, no two ways about it.

It's more than that. It's a lawsuit.

I thought so too.

So you know any hotshot lawyers

that might be interested in my case?

I might.

Why don't we get breakfast? You can fill me in.

Okay, but if you're buying, it better show up on my bill,

because I didn't come looking for charity.

It's not charity. It's called pro bono.

- Samantha... - Lucas, we served together.

I'm not taking no for an answer.

Harvey, Donna. What a pleasant surprise.

Can I interest you in some Weetabix?

Wow. What are you wearing?

What do you mean, what am I wearing? It's my mankini.

- Your what now? - It's a Speedo.

I wear it instead of underwear.

It's incredibly supportive. Here, let me show you.

- Donna? - Louis, as much as we would

love for you to show us

how supportive your underwear is,

Harvey and I are here

to share some news...

about why we were together the other morning.

Yeah, I know why you were together.

You were worried about the firm.

Except the firm isn't the reason why

Harvey came over the other night, and it's...

definitely not why he stayed over.

Wait, Harvey, you have a problem with your plumbing?

'Cause if you need to use my shower...

That's not what she's saying, Louis, and...

I'm never gonna use your shower.

It's got a steam feature!

Come on upstairs. I'll show you.

Louis!

- Harvey and I are together. - Yeah, I know you're together.

You're standing right in front of me.

See? This is what I'm talking about.

I mean, like, how did even make it through

- law school? - No, no, no, no, no.

Harvey and I are in a relationship.

- Oh, my God. - Yeah.

And we didn't want to tell you before

because it wasn't the right time but we're telling you now

because we're happy and we don't want to hide that anymore.

Especially not from our partner

and our friend.

I really appreciate that, Harvey,

and I am so happy for you both.

But?

A proper celebration's gonna have to wait

because I have some news too.

What is it, Louis?

We have a problem.

How long is she gonna be here?

I don't know.

Apparently, it's left to the Bar's discretion.

Bullshit!

There's no way I'm letting the Bar

move someone into my house and tell me how to run it.

- What? - You know what.

This never would've happened if you just...

Don't even say it.

You don't even know what I was going to say.

I can take a guess. You were gonna say

this all happened because of what Robert did.

It happened because of your collective choices.

This is a private meeting, Faye.

Well, it's also the perfect opportunity

for me to introduce myself to the firm's leadership...

such as it is.

- Such as it is? - Ms. Paulsen,

when a firm's out of control, that starts at the top.

And if you think you can waltz right in here

and start throwing around accusations...

Then how about we throw around some facts?

You've had two managing partners

disbarred in as many years,

a junior partner go to prison,

and if you think anybody believes

that you weren't a party to that fraud, think again.

But...

as of today...

I'm wiping the slate clean of everything you've ever done.

You have no proof we've ever done anything.

I have experience.

And when there's this much smoke, there's always fire.

So if you want me gone,

there's only one way to make that happen:

convince me you people can be trusted to fly right.

And if we don't?

You mean if you continue to cross lines?

Then you'll be fired.

You don't have the authority to do that.

Yes, I do.

As I have the authority to approve new cases,

allocate resources, and just about anything else I see fit.

And the first order of business

is doing what you all should have:

taking Robert Zane's name off that wall.

No. That is not happening.

If you think you have a say in the matter,

you haven't grasped the situation.

If you so much as reach for that name,

you haven't grasped that I will find something on you.

And that mentality perfectly underlines why I am here.

And leaving that name up sends the wrong message.

It sends the message

that we don't throw our friends to the wolves.

You want to throw your friend a retirement party

or help him launch a charter boat company

to show your support, be my guest.

But that name comes down today.

I don't believe this.

You're just gonna let her do this?

Samantha, it's not our decision.

Well, whether I stay here or not is.

So you can go to hell.

Fortunately, I'm used to reactions like that.

So as I said to Louis when he signed off on this,

I suggest you start getting used to doing things my way,

because this isn't the Wild West.

And your days of operating

however the hell you want are over.

Episode Title: "Special Master"

Don't bother, Harvey. I'm outta here.

This place is not for me.

Samantha, you can't quit. We need you.

Well, she doesn't need me,

and she's the one calling the shots.

And if you think just because you gave me

a client I'm going to stay here...

Samantha, like it or not, the world thinks Robert is dirty.

People also think that

the apple doesn't fall far from tree.

So if you leave, it's not gonna look like a protest.

It'll look like what they all think is true.

I just don't have it in me to roll over to her, Harvey.

I'm not asking you to roll over.

I'm asking you to wait this thing out.

Because the second she leaves,

we're gonna put his name right back on that wall.

And what about the fact

she gets approval over all new cases?

Because I met with an old friend this morning.

He can't afford us, and there is no way

I'm not helping him.

Then as far as I'm concerned, you met with him last night,
