In a great representation of the season thus far, “This is Rome” opens with Harvey battling it out in the boxing ring, but no one could predict how the Suits season 4 summer finale would end.

Down and out from resigning from the firm, Louis approaches Harvey looking to take some clients wherever he may end up. Harvey takes pity on him and says he’ll talk to Jessica. She’s not as willing as her other name partner to give Louis an inch.

As Mike, Rachel and Donna gather in Louis’ office to clean out his personal effects, Jessica shows up in Katrina’s office to give her a second chance after helping Louis with his illegal actions.

Despite Harvey’s ability to get Louis in the door at some big names, they’re in Siberia (well – Cincinnati, the ‘Siberia of America,’ as Louis puts it).

Louis: “This is Rome. You’re a gladiator, and so am I.” (Has Louis been watching Scandal?)

Louis wrote the bylaws. He knows what he can and can’t do. He stomps into Jessica’s office and says if she won’t give him his three clients, she “better strap in because [he’s] gonna take them.”

Meanwhile, Mike is entrenched in full-on paranoia, seeing a senior partner like Louis booted out of the firm in the blink of an eye. He hopes Jessica won’t crush him like a bug anytime soon.

Donna thinks they can help Louis. She knows he needs another job, but not in New York. She’s thinking something more northeastern: Boston, where Sheila lives. She approaches him in a firing range about the move. We also learn we should never cross Donna Paulsen, as she easily fires off a string of bullets, all hitting the bullseye.

When Louis does show up at Shelia’s office in Boston, she’s initially thrilled but questions his motives too much. She tells him to leave, and Louis leaves, brokenhearted (again).

Mike is trying to work out a problem with client Versa Life with Donna when Harvey pokes his head out of his office to demand Donna send a slew of apology gifts to the man who was supposed to interview Louis for his Boston job. Louis never showed up, and Donna and Mike piece together that his reunion with Sheila didn’t go as planned.

In a final Hail Mary pass, Mike goes to Robert Zane’s – Rachel’s father – to pitch him a job for Louis. The job market is terrible, and Louis is having trouble getting his foot in the door anywhere. Rachel is impressed with Mike’s ability to get Louis an interview, but she is not happy he went to her father. Rachel says there is always a condition when dealing with Robert. Now it’s just a matter of waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Robert doesn’t care why Louis left Pearson Specter, but he does want Louis to come onto the team with companies in-hand. Katrina intervenes with Louis when he approaches one of his old clients and instead of stopping him, she asks him to take her to Zane’s.

Jessica thinks it is Mike’s fault the firm is losing Versa Life, the all-important client, to Louis and Mike’s “future father-in-law,” but that isn’t entirely true. Mike never told Louis about the client directly.

He does find a tricky solution to get Versa Life back into Pearson Specter’s portfolio: Walter Gillis. Gillis isn’t crazy about working with Mike – he did lose him his company – but acquiring this company is enticing enough to push the deal through.

Harvey, about Mike: “When it comes to caring about people, he’s twice the man I am.”

Later that night, Mike visits Louis at home and he tells him they bought the client back. He offers to stay a while, have a couple of drinks and listen to the story behind an old brass key Louis has, but Louis just asks him to leave.

At the same time, Harvey is knocking on Robert Zane’s door. Louis is still Harvey’s family, just as Rachel is Robert’s. He wants Robert to take Louis regardless of the number of clients he has. Harvey dangerously reminds him that Harvey would owe him one. Could this be a set up for the second half of season 4?

Jessica congratulates Mike for closing the case in her own way, saying it’s nice to have him around once in a while. Unfortunately, Katrina’s second chance has come and gone – Jessica says she can either be fired, or respectfully resign. Katrina, we hardly knew ye.

While out having celebratory drinks, Harvey keeps stepping out to ask Donna if Robert Zane has called back. Mike and Harvey banter about jokes and drinks of choice, and this is the Suits that is easy to watch. The next scene, with Donna and Louis, not so much.

Louis begins explaining the Order of the Coif, the highest honor you can receive at Harvard Law graduation. He wonders why Mike wouldn’t recognize the key students like Mike and Louis receive when they get accepted into the Order of the Coif. He screams at her, knowing that Mike didn’t go to Harvard. It’s a tense scene, with Donna tearfully apologizing to Louis, and Louis storming down the hall to see Jessica.

Louis: “I want you to say you’re a liar! And a hypocrite! And I want you to say you’re sorry.”

Unleashing a fury we never knew Louis had, he is practically shaking when he spits out what he wants: “Pearson. Specter. Litt.” Woah. If this is what it takes to keep him from going to the authorities and turning in Jessica, Donna, Harvey, Mike, Rachel – everyone – will she finally give it to him? Stay tuned!

’Suits’ will return this winter for season 4B.

There will be five episodes to round out Suits season 4. See you then!
