Major/Highlighted Events[]

District Attorney Terrence Wolf files charges against Donna Paulsen for intent to commit fraud, as she had impersonated a federal employee to unlawfully gain classified information.
- After finding out that Liberty Rail paid off Joe Henderson and train conductor Michael Jaworski, Harvey Specter financially supports them to bring them on to his side. With the leverage in his favor, Harvey settles the case with Evan Smith, allowing her and Liberty Rail to avoid any charges or lawsuit in exchange for Evan committing obstruction of justice to dismiss the witness testifying against Donna. Evan agrees, and the charges against Donna are dropped.
Harvey informs Mike Ross that he is willing to put him in danger but not Donna, citing that she is different. After the settlement, he admits to Donna that he can handle anyone else losing faith in him except her, adding that he loves her.
