The penultimate episode raises the stakes. A former Pearson Hardman partner, fired years ago, returns with a wrongful termination lawsuit. In discovery, he finds evidence that Mike Ross never attended Harvard. Louis also pieces together the same puzzle after a chance encounter with a real Harvard registrar.

The episode ends on a cliffhanger: Louis has proof. He walks into Jessica’s office and says, "We need to talk about Mike Ross."

A young mother is denied bail, and Mike convinces Harvey to take the case pro bono. The twist: the woman is the daughter of a powerful judge who has a grudge against Harvey. Louis, desperate to find dirt on Harvey, hires a private investigator to look into Mike’s background.
