After Mike accepted AUSA Anita Gibbs’s deal to do two years in prison if she wouldn’t go after anyone else at the firm, Harvey was hoping the jury foreman would tell him the verdict was going to be “guilty” so he could live with Mike’s decision. While Mike and Rachel planned a wedding, Harvey tried to broker his own deal with Gibbs: he’d gotten Evan Smith (Tricia Helfer) to give him proof of her client Liberty Rail’s cover-up — in exchange for the right to poach any staff and clients from Pearson Specter Litt — and hoped to trade the huge corporate murder case for Mike’s freedom. The only way she’d let Mike off is if Harvey convinced Mike to let him take his place.
