Season 5 of the legal drama opens with a long flashback about what happened since the previous season's finale, as told by Harvey to his therapist. Mike and Rachel are engaged but are keeping it a secret from almost everyone; Donna starts working for Louis, who still thinks she's going to eventually go back to Harvey; Harvey isn't doing so well after Donna's departure, and Jessica steps in to make sure he doesn't lose his focus. As the firm takes on new cases that sometimes hit too close to home, Harvey has to do a lot of growing up in Donna's absence and Mike finally faces the consequences of pretending to be a lawyer.
