Yes, if the bar finds out that he's been lying about being a member of the bar, and the bar turns him over to the DA, and the DA has nothing better to do, I guess the DA might decide to prosecute him for practicing law without a license — on a TV show. On this show, the DA could have something against Mike and/or…

Yeah, the craziest thing in this episode was the idea that Jessica wouldn't have known she was a diversity hire, and that EVERYONE - including Hardman - would have seen her as such at the time of her hiring. The idea that she needed to actually see an asterisk on a list to realize that is more insulting to the…

Also, it's a monumental stretch to imagine Mike (or any other character) ever having to go to prison over this lie. Disbarment for the other lawyers? Possibly. But not even necessarily - lots of people are just sanctioned for doing way worse things. The bar isn't a government regulatory authority, it's a professional…

I think Scottie senses that a number of people know this secret, and she's on the outside of the situation. We know that all the other women we see in Harvey's life (Jessica, Donna, Rachel) know what he did for Mike, but Scottie doesn't.

I think the show does a good job of illustrating the golden handcuffs associated with working at a large, prestigious law firm. However you get there, once you're there, you want more. You want to rise up the ranks. You want to be recognized. Especially in an environment like the one they've concocted, where EVERYONE…

That said, I think the writers should have had Mike go to accept the investment banking job, only to find out it had been given away to someone else, or that Jonathan doesn't want him anymore because he wasn't anxious enough to join him on the spot. Could've been Mike calling Jonathan after midnight or the next…

I think we're supposed to infer that Mike was moved when James (the gambler-lawyer) says that being a lawyer is WHO HE IS, and if Mike takes that away from him, he'll have nothing. Mike internalizes this, reflecting on the fact that becoming a lawyer changed everything about his life and recognizes that it's become…
