Synopsis
Harvey and Mike are watching an advertisement featuring Hanley Folsom, the CEO of Folsom Foods, in which states his objections to the recent gender discrimination allegations that his company is facing. Harvey pauses the video, and asks Mike to find something that will incriminate Hanley. Mike responds that he has already looked and cannot find anything, but Harvey persists, and requests that he do whatever it takes to catch Folsom out. Mike informs his superior that his request to hire an investigator was denied, but Harvey encourages Mike to "do it anyway", and that he will "take care of it".
Harvey enters Jessica's office, and states that they need to discuss the distribution of resources. Jessica agrees, informing Harvey that she has heard that several clients haven't had their calls returned. Harvey reminds her that due to Daniel's actions, they have seven cases which need immediate attention, at the expense of the others, but Jessica states that they cannot simply give up on their other clients. Harvey replies that he will deal with the situation, but requests additional resources to continue their fight. Jessica replies that they do not have the available funds to cover the additional resources, after the hit they took from settling with Monica Eton. Harvey suggests she use their line of credit with the bank, but Jessica informs him that she has already tried, and that the line is gone. Harvey is shocked at her statement, and asks Jessica how she proposes he continue fighting their cases.
Mike is working with Rachel in the Pearson Hardman library on the Folsom Foods case. He requests some documents from her, but she is daydreaming and doesn't hear him. He eventually gets her attention, and asks her what she is doing. Rachel replies that she is working, but after looking at her computer, Mike discovers that she is actually looking at a map of Boston, perusing possible locations for where she could live when she attends Harvard. Mike becomes annoyed when he discovers she has been procrastinating for the past 45 minutes, but Rachel counters by saying that she is not good at waiting. Mike consoles her that she did everything she could to get into Harvard, before being called away by Harvey. He informs Mike that Jessica has approved the resources they need, but only on one case. Mike objects, stating that they have to fight every case, but Harvey cautions his associate that rather than fighting every case, they will put everything into one attack. He asks Mike what would be the best case to choose, to which Mike immediately replies Bakersfield, as it has the "lowest percentage of female promotions" but the "highest percentage of female applicants".
Donna enters Harvey's office, and presents him with a coffee. Harvey states that he doesn't require any coffee, but Donna suggests otherwise, before fussing with his suit. Harvey attempts to dissuade her, stating that he is only meeting with clients, but Donna informs him that there has been a slight change in plan, adding that he "will understand when [he] get[s] there". She begins to tidy Harvey's hair, and after some hesitation, he allows her to do so.
Harvey enters the conference room, only to find Dana Scott waiting for him there. He asks her how married life is, but she informs him that she never got married. Harvey looks at her suggestively, but she brushes off his implication that it was because of him. She informs him that she is there about Bakersfield, but Harvey states that he will not let her steal his clients.
