Harvey shows compassion, Rachel admits her wrongdoings and Mike punches someone. There are some heated events in Suits season 4, episode 7, “We’re Done.” Check out our recap!

Time operates differently in the world of Suits. One day can stretch two episodes, as it does tonight.

Mike stumbles into his apartment, having been just been fired, as Rachel stands at the ready in the kitchen, wine glass in hand. She tries to console him by saying whatever he did could not have been as bad as – he cuts her off, but she was trying to tell him about what she did with Logan.

The next day, Mike is walking down the road when Forstman pulls up in the back of a town car and offers Mike a $1 million signing bonus to come work for him. Mike tries to turn it down, but Forstman says he has a day to think about it.

Jessica wants to give Louis a gift of gratitude for helping Harvey last week. Without pausing to think, Louis demands “Pearson Specter Litt.” He wants his name of the door! (Un)fortunately, becoming name partner is not an option. Try again, Louis. He comes back asking for telecommuting and more vacation time. He’s going to try to get Sheila back!

Jeff is not happy that Jessica went behind his back to ask Louis to check his work. It’s hard to dispute her decision when problems were found and Jeff is the one who is made out to look like a fool. Jessica may trust the man himself, but she did not trust his work.

Fuming from her earlier argument with Jeff, Jessica laughs in Harvey’s face when he asks to bring Mike back. Later in the episode, she comes back to apologize. She doesn’t want to lose her relationship over “stupid work bullshit.”

Donna breaks the news to Harvey that Mike got fired and the expression on his face conveys total surprise. She iterates how important Harvey’s support is right now to Mike. Harvey sees how broken Mike is and shows genuine concern for him. He offers to set up five interviews with investment banks by simply making five phone calls, but Mike denies him. Harvey spends the rest of the episode completely there for Mike. It’s nice.

Harvey visits Jonathan, giving him a folder full of information that could prove to be a lucrative deal for Sidwell. His ulterior motive, of course, is to get Jonathan to give Mike a second chance. Alas, it’s a no-go.

Mike admittedly doesn’t have a lot of clout. He has two references: Harvey, who has to lie for him, and Jonathan, who wants to kill him. But there is a man both Mike and Harvey know who lied about his credentials and had to start over: Stan Jacobson.

Featured in the season 1, episode 10 episode “The Shelf Life,” Stan lied about having an accounting degree. Now, he works on baseball statistics with his best friends and he loves his life. Could Mike follow the same path? Divert entirely from the suit-and-tie life that comes with being a lawyer or investment banker and carving his own path? Probably not, but it’s a nice thought.

Mike doesn’t know what he wants to be when he grows up. He wants to start over, with Rachel. His monstrous proclamation of love makes her burst into tears; her guilt is overwhelming. Through sobs, she manages to say, “I don’t deserve you… Logan and I kissed.” Wordlessly, he bolts over to Logan’s apartment. Mike tries to leave, but Logan pushed one button too many and the two go fisticuffs. A table is broken, Mike’s lip is cut, and he hobbles away.

Rachel shows up at Donna’s. Mike shows up at Harvey’s and with no more than a “Logan’s, Rachel,” Harvey demands he get inside. Over wine, Donna tells Rachel she can stay with her for the night, and between scotches, Harvey tells Mike to settle down before trying to find answers.

In the lobby of Pearson Specter the next day, Rachel woefully admits that the kiss did mean something to her, but now it doesn’t. With a final “We’re done,” Mike storms out.

Sidenote: Props to Patrick J. Adams this episode. In a scene with Harvey, we noticed his hands clenching and releasing, and certain ticks that convey a much less confident man than who was walking the halls of Sidwell Investment Group just days ago. His gait is more careful, and he acts like a man defeated.

Aside from the relationship woes, Louis is agonizing over his unethical deal with Forstman. To close it, Forstman makes Louis sign a suspicious document sealing his fate in this illegal endeavor. On his way out, Louis bumps into Mike, who now wants to accept Forstman’s job offer. Louis will do “anything [he] has to” to keep Mike from taking the job.

Louis, in the end, trades in his opportunity to be with Sheila to be able to re-hire Mike at Pearson Specter. Jessica looks like her head’s about to explode. Harvey is thrilled.

Harvey: “Seriously, it’s good to have things back to normal.”
Mike: “Yeah, normal.”

Harvey opens up, saying he admires what Mike and Rachel have. It’s real. Mike can’t let that go. Will he?

Kind of. He moves out of their apartment, and Rachel seems willing to do anything to work their relationship. He needs space, but judging on the promo for next week, that doesn’t seem to happen.
