Major/Highlighted Events

Dana Scott faces off against Samantha Wheeler in a case involving Samantha's client getting out of a bank contract. However, it is soon revealed that Scottie's client, the bank, created multiple fake credit accounts and that Scottie was helping cover it up. Fearful that she may end up in prison, Scottie asks Donna Paulsen to convince Harvey Specter to make a deal and settle the case without the bank's criminal actions being made public. Donna agrees to talk to Harvey under the condition that Scottie forever steers clear from the firm, which Scottie construes as Donna telling her to stay away from Harvey forever, although she accepts the deal regardless. Harvey is able to convince Samantha to make a deal, informing her that he would now owe her one, and the case is settled. Grateful, Scottie calls Harvey and Donna, notifying Donna that true to her stipulation, she would stay away from Harvey, although not before adding that she wishes Harvey sees Donna the way everyone else sees them as.
- With the case settled, Harvey decides to go out with Donna, only to discover that she is dating Thomas Kessler. However, he soon runs into Samantha, and not wanting to be alone again, asks Samantha out for drinks, which she accepts.
Louis Litt represents Stan Lipschitz after one of Lipschitz's clients, Craig Boyd, who works as a construction worker, suffered a manic episode at work, causing an accident that resulted in a co-worker falling into a coma. Louis is able to convince Craig to drop the lawsuit without punishing Lipschitz, whom Craig is claiming prescribed false medication as he cannot get employment elsewhere if the truth of his actions are revealed, as Louis assures him that he would have Craig employed with another construction firm.

Goofs/Inconsistencies

Scottie informs Samantha that she used to work at her firm back when there were only three names. While she was a senior partner at Pearson Darby Specter, she worked at the Darby International London office and not at the New York Pearson office; by the time she worked at the Pearson firm, it had become Pearson Specter, and she had left before it became Pearson Specter Litt, meaning she did not work at the firm when it had three names.

Quotes

Samantha: Handsome, powerful men – goes one of two ways. You either want a woman who doesn't challenge you at all or you want one who challenges you all the time.
Harvey: I'm sorry, I stopped listening after the handsome and powerful part.

Samantha: [to Scottie] I think playing dirty isn't your specialty. You took a walk on the wild side, and turns out you fucked with the wrong Marine.

Katrina: Samantha, if she has anything to do with this, it would ruin her.
Samantha: And if she didn't want to be ruined, she shouldn't have gotten involved in this, and she damn sure shouldn't have fucked with me.

Alex: Turns out the software update on those new cartridges, the ones James used–
Tony: Glitched for exactly 12 minutes between 9:43 and 9:55.
Alex: The exact window which I suspect Anne Kendrick's machine reset.
Tony: Fuck.
