Let’s break it down.
It also establishes Jessica as their mental match.
So, they pushed him out instead.

Now that their leverage was gone, they assumed Hardman would return for their heads.
But Jessica and Harvey weren’t buying it.
Harvey thought he’d won, but no.
He wants to now prove the firm can be successful without breaking the rules.
That slippery slope sentiment flowed nicely into Jessica’s next showdown with Harvey.
He failed to keep Hardman at bay, so Mike had to go.
He told her he had known Mike was a fraud when he hired him.
If Mike gets canned, Harvey would leave, too, and then Hardman would start asking questions.
Instead of the Hatfields & McCoys, it’s the Pearsons & Hardmans.
She made a mistake, too, she just didn’t get caught.)
But we want to know more about Mike’s past, so Grammy’s return is welcome.
We learned that Mike gets his ability to think on his feet and make up manipulative stories from her.
She told him how she’d run away from her parents once and was found by some dock workers.
Never happened, she confessed.
She basically just tweaked the story of Hansel and Gretel to make it more believable.
Because of his photographic memory, he never had to take notes or study.
People told him that’d change when the classes got tougher, but it never did.
As for Harvey’s background, it’s amazing how much info.
(He felt guilty because he thought he was going to have to fire Mike and was compensating.)
(He has a younger brother!)
Either Harvey’s mother resurfaced (he doesn’t speak to her and probably hasn’t for awhile!)
or Jessica found out about Mike, Donna deduced.
That mother comment was especially interesting after Harvey threatened to tell Hardman’s daughter about his affair.
The friend never forgave his mother.
Could Harvey be that friend?
Is that why his mother’s not in his life?
It would also explain why Harvey could have trust issues with women and prefer not to get attached.
- And speaking of trust issues… (There would be no show then.)
But when the stakes are this high, you have to think doubts will creep back in.
Jessica will clearly do whatever it takes to remain boss.
But does Mike know Harvey threatened to leave if Jessica canned him?
), Trevor wouldn’t tell him how he knew about the kiss.
Are you excited by the direction of season 2?
And which was your favorite quip of the night?
Tissue, glass of water, tampon?"
Adams totally got me.
Between that and Jessica’s glowing report to Harvey about her dinner with Mike, some very effective misdirects.
