Mike continues to work behind Harvey’s back in Wednesday’s episode of Suits. Here’s the official synopsis for Suits season 7, episode 5.

Now that Mike is working behind Harvey’s back on USA‘s Suits, this Wednesday’s episode is going to make things even more complicated at Pearson Specter Litt. And judging by the synopsis for the next episode, it’s going to be a hot mess.

Season 7, episode 5 is called “Brooklyn Housing,” and as Suits fans probably expected, it focuses on the fact that Mike (Patrick J. Adams) went back on his word to Harvey (Gabriel Macht) in order to keep working on his wrongful death lawsuit.

Will Harvey notice that Mike is doing what he said explicitly he wouldn’t do and get into another fight with his protege? Or will he have his own hurdle to clear as he turns to Louis (Rick Hoffman) for another issue that requires discretion? How many times have the phrases “Louis Litt” and “discretion” even been in the same sentence?

Meanwhile, this week’s Suits also gives us Donna (Sarah Rafferty) looking for someone to add to the firm after she fired Stephanie Patel two weeks ago. Who is it and how much more drama will they add to Suits season 7? Because no one ever comes to work at Pearson Specter Litt without some kind of baggage. It’s practically a job requirement.

Just ask Rachel (Meghan Markle), who’s still trying to plan her and Mike’s wedding, deal with her father and grow her career. Suits season 7 has been chaotic for her and everyone else at Pearson Specter Litt, and it’s not slowing down with “Brooklyn Housing.”

Here’s how USA officially describes the episode:

"Mike juggles his work obligations with his promise to help a hurting family. Harvey asks for Louis’s discretion in handling a sensitive matter. Donna vets a possible addition to the firm."
