Harvey tries to get Mike’s help regarding a case and Mike’s absence makes him distressed. Holly Cromwell demands a job at PSL and Donna disagrees with Harvey’s decision. The return of Frank Gallo seems to stir things up for the future. As Mike tries to extract information from Gallo about the prison rewarding him for starting fights, he demands that Mike get him an early parole.

Gallo refuses to testify without the confirmation of parole, although Mike finds an alternative; he locates Gallo's daughter, who is not financially secure, and offers to have a portion of the settlement transferred to her account.
Cultural References
- Mike tells Frank Gallo that with the money he'd get for testifying, pending his release he wouldn't be Brooks Hatlen bagging groceries but rather Andy Dufresne on a beach in Mexico, referencing The Shawshank Redemption.
