Although he deduces that she is interested in him and makes his interest in her clear, she notifies him that she does not get involved with the men she works with. Harvey is informed by Cameron Dennis that he is to be promoted to head litigator soon, a position he considers rather than honor his deal with Jessica Pearson, which involved him working at the office and then returning to the firm as a senior associate. Harvey realizes that Cameron buried a toxicology report in order to keep two murderers behind bars. Harvey speaks with his father Gordon who tells Harvey a story about his ex-wife Harvey's mother and her infidelity, and bluntly states that Cameron would do it again. After being shown proof by Donna that Cameron has buried evidence many times, Harvey turns down the position of head litigator, turns in the toxicology report, therefore freeing the murderers, and resigns from his position as the Assistant District Attorney. Harvey pays a visit to the law offices of Gordon Schmidt Van Dyke, speaking to Jessica about their deal. Jessica informs him that she and Daniel Hardman are planning a coup in the night. After Harvey resigns from the office, he returns to the law firm and discovers that it has been renamed as Pearson Hardman. Harvey is officially hired as a senior associate, and convinces Jessica to hire Donna as his executive assistant; Jessica remarks that her salary would come out of Harvey's, a condition Harvey accepts as long as Donna is never made aware of it. After leaving the office, Harvey finds out that Donna has resigned as well. Since they are no longer working together, Harvey goes to Donna's apartment and they have sex. The next day, Harvey tells Donna that he would like for her to work for him at Pearson Hardman, and she accepts, although she states that they are never again to discuss their night together. Mike Ross and Trevor Evans are roommates at college, where Trevor has begun to sell weed for cash. Trevor notifies Mike that he has successfully been accepted into Harvard Law School. The pair go out to celebrate, where they join a poker game. After being conned out of $500 after financing Mike's bet, Trevor declares that he needs a thousand dollars to pay Omar for the weed. He then convinces Mike to recreate a test he just took so that they can sell it. However, the test was sold to the dean's daughter and Mike confesses, believing that due to his grades, he would not get punished and his confession would get Trevor off the hook. The dean reveals that the board is demanding his resignation and as his last official act, he expels Mike from the school and blacklists him from going to Harvard Law School. Present Day The firm is renamed. Pearson Darby is officially renamed as Pearson Darby Specter, following Harvey Specter's promotion to name partner. Mike Ross notifies Harvey that Cameron Dennis has a new witness in Colonel Mariga, the very colonel who was bribed in the incriminating video. Mike realizes later that Cameron did not have Mariga, but Cameron informs Mike that he didn't before, but now he does as Stephen Huntley led him to Mariga. Harvey tells Donna Paulsen that her relationship with Stephen bothers him. Harvey meets with Jessica Pearson on the rooftop of the firm and fills her in on his deal with Edward Darby, although he adds that he doesn't want to be managing partner anymore. Disgusted at Harvey's coup, Jessica dismisses him from her sight. Cultural References Flashbacks Harvey decides to use the Nite Owl murders as a reference, and Cameron informs him that he cannot use Confidential as inspiration. Harvey then retorts that it is no different than Cameron shooting a dead guy because Sean Connery did it in The Untouchables. Cameron and Harvey then quote Connery's dialogue from the film. Donna refers to Harvey as James Bond. Trevor refers to Mike as "Mr. Rounders" when he tries to convince Mike to play poker to win money. In the 1998 film Rounders, Matt Damon plays a gifted poker player who lost everything he had in a high-stakes game. This makes him quit playing poker to focus on his law studies and part-time job until his childhood friend, played by Edward Norton, gets him to start rounding again going from place to place to win high-stakes poker games. Mike refers to a poker player as Limp Bizkit. Trevor mentions The Wire. Omar quotes Pulp Fiction, replacing the world "nigga" with "negro", prompting Mike to respond that if he is going to quote Pulp Fiction, he should do it correctly. Omar and Mike then quote the "quarter pounder with cheese' dialogue, while Mike and Trevor quote the movie as well. Harvey's father refers to Harvey as Reggie Jackson. Edith mentions that she watches Law & Order. Donna refers to Louis as Rain Man. Present Day Mike refers to Cameron Dennis as Tom Selleck. Trivia Goddamn Counter 6 Harvey's mother is revealed to named Lily, and his brother is revealed to named Marcus. With the present day situated sometime in early-mid 2013, the flashbacks would be taking place in 2003. It is revealed that Harvey and Donna were indeed sexually involved in the past, albeit very briefly. Goofs/Inconsistencies Mike and Trevor are said to be underage when it comes to drinking alcohol in a flashback scene. Seeing as Mike is revealed to be born in 1981 in "Blind-Sided", he would have turned 21 in 2002. While this may seemingly mean that the present day is actually 2012, the timeline presented thus far from season one to present establishes that that this episode, at the very earliest, is taking place in January 2013. Therefore, Mike and Trevor would have been legally allowed to consume alcoholic beverages by then. Quotes Harvey So, you going to come out and say it?Donna Say what?Harvey All those observations.
