Donna tells Mike she's concerned about what might happen between him and Harvey if they go toe-to-toe. She mentions Harvey found the master tapes for his father's solo album and is working on buying them. Mike thinks he owes Harvey his best shot.
Logan checks in with Rachel to make sure she's okay with whatever he does. She says she's fine.
Logan tells Harvey that he wants to win at all costs, and is worried he won't play dirty since 'surrogate son" Mike's on the other side. Harvey promises he'll go below the belt.
Louis wants to square things with Malone. He feels like he owes him a favor. Malone says he wants advice from Jessica on an upcoming case. Louis promises to help.
Harvey attempts to get a banker to cut off Gillis' credit by threatening to take the rest of the firm's business to another bank, but Mike shows up and nixes the whole thing, countering that, if the banker cuts off Gillis, he'll be called in front of a grand jury.
Louis goes to Jessica with Malone's interest in her help. She tells him it's not her job, but Louis counters by asking her to do it as a favor to him.
Jessica and Malone talk. The favor he asked of Louis was a completely bogus story. He seems to be trying to get close to her.
Logan wants Harvey to hire a PI and dig up dirt on Mike. Harvey submits that the real reason Logan's so fired-up is because he still has feelings for Rachel. Logan says if Harvey doesn't do it, he'll find somebody who will.
Harvey and Donna talk about his situation with Logan and Mike. She knows Mike's secret will be uncovered. Harvey doesn't think he has a choice and Donna suggests he "think of something that won't ruin his life." Donna asks he at least gives Mike a warning, but Harvey says that's not how it works.
Jessica and Malone attempt to place Louis in the middle of a faux debate full of semantic tactics. During the conversation, Malone massages Louis' shoulders, making Louis wrongly think Malone is into him.

Harvey visits Gillis and tells him he knows drugs killed his son. He then tells him Mike has a history with drugs, including as a dealer.

Donna tells Jessica about Louis thinking Malone has feelings for him.
Malone approaches Louis about pulling an all-nighter together (office work). Louis tells Malone he likes him "as a friend" but enough is enough. Catching on, Malone tells him he's disappointed and thinks he should tell Jessica she should come back to the case.
Mike goes to see Harvey, pissed off that Harvey got personal. Harvey responds that he actually saved Mike by hurting him before Logan could get to his biggest secret. The two argue and Harvey tells Mike that he "made" him. Mike finishes by saying he has Harvey's father's masters. Mike leaves.
Logan arrives and tells Harvey he wants proof that Gillis and Mike are done or he's going to go after Mike with his investigators.
Harvey leaves to try and get Mike to sign something confirming he's no longer working on Gillis' behalf. Donna stops him on his way out and says she thinks he was a jerk to Mike. She doesn't think there's any way Mike will sign something. Not from Harvey, anyway, but he might listen to someone else.
Malone tells Jessica the real reason he wanted her help because he doesn't trust important cases to associates. He tells her a story about one of his first cases where a bad guy got away because an associate missed something.
Harvey goes to Rachel for help getting Mike to quit the fight so he doesn't ruin his career.
Jessica helps find Malone exactly what they need to get the charges against their client dropped. They get close during the process and he tries to kiss her. She pulls away and says she has too much on the line as a female in her position. He wonders if perhaps she's making excuses to keep them apart. She apologizes and leaves the room.
Rachel comes home and Mike confronts her with her deposition from Logan's divorce. She lied for Logan to back his story in the proceedings. Mike is upset she never told him.

Rachel has a flashback of visiting Logan's apartment, where, in an argement with his wife, he says negative things about Rachel.
Rachel goes directly to Logan and asks him to stop the personal attacks on Mike. She reminds him that he lied to her about not loving his wife. He owes her for that. He agrees.
