Major/Highlighted Events

Robert Zane arrives and notifies Harvey Specter and Jessica Pearson that the firm's oldest client, Jim Reynolds, is looking to leave them and find another lawyer. Because he enjoys his rivalry with Pearson Specter Litt and knows they will be tarnished if they lost Reynolds, he urges them to regain Reynolds before other firms poach him.
- It is revealed that P.S.L. lost 75% of their clients after Mike Ross was convicted.
Harvey offers Mike a job at Pearson Specter Litt as a legal consultant, while also retaining the same salary he made as junior partner. While Mike initially refuses, he decides to consider it for Harvey's sake.
Tara tells Louis Litt that she's pregnant with her ex-lover Joshua's child, and Louis tells her that he does not mind raising another man's child so long as he gets to be with her. After sleeping on it, Louis proposes to her and she accepts.
Rumors begin to swirl that Harvey betrayed William Sutter just to get Mike out of prison, causing various clients to consider leaving Pearson Specter Litt. Sutter's bankruptcy causes Stu Buzzini to leave their firm space, although he agrees to help them out by buying a majority share in Reynolds' company, forcing Donald Mannis to keep Reynolds as CEO and Pearson Specter Litt as their legal representation.
Rachel Zane recalls that Victor Forrest called Maria Gomez a junkie witness despite their being no legal record of her drug use, and realizes that he found her and got rid of her in order to prevent her from testifying. With help from Mike, who convinces Jessica to use a power play from A Few Good Men, Victor confesses on stand and Leonard Bailey is released as a free man.
Jessica recalls her father's disappointment towards her becoming a lawyer, as he viewed lawyers as power hungry bottom-feeders who did not care about their fellow man. After refusing to take client meetings in order to focus on saving Leonard Bailey's life, she realizes that along the way she had forgotten why she became a lawyer in the first place and decides to step down from the firm.
- Robert Zane proposes that they merge their firms together, although she refuses
- Jessica informs Jeff Malone that she is stepping down from her firm and decides to move with him to Chicago.
- Harvey and Louis are saddened by Jessica's departure as she bestows the firm to them; the three toast to "Pearson Specter Litt".

Cultural References

Robert Zane mentions the New York Yankees, the Boston Red Sox and Bucky Dent.
A Few Good Men is mentioned and referenced a few times; Mike quotes "I'd pick you every day of the week and twice on Sunday. You should've seen yourself thunder away at Kendrick." while also mentioning the characters of Dawson and Downey, and later mentions the movie when suggesting to Jessica that she use the movie as inspiration to force Victor Forrest into confessing. Harvey also quotes the movie with "you messed with the wrong goddamn Marine", and Stu mentions the movie by name when he explains to a confused Louis and Donald Mannis that Harvey is quoting from it.
