Even though she worked all night as morning comes Katrina is no closer to figuring out a way to keep Ava as CEO than she was when she started. Rubbing her eyes Katrina realises that she needs help, but not just any help, she needs Mike's help, and so because of that Katrina uses her tablet to take pictures of the boards she set up, and grabs the important files and heads out of conference room.
An hour later Katrina arrives at Mike's apartment and lets herself in, partly because she isn't sure whether Mike would answer, and partly because she isn't is carrying so much that she can only just get her key out.
As she walks in Katrina heads over to the table where she puts everything done and then into Mike's bedroom where her best friend is fast asleep in his bed.
"Mike." Katrina says, shaking her friend awake, "Mike wake up."
"Katrina?" Mike ask confused, clearly half asleep, "What are you doing here?" he asks confused.
"I need your help." Katrina tells him, "I'll go put the coffee on." She says, heading out of the room.
After Katrina leaves Mike takes a few moments to make sure that he wasn't imagining it before he gets up and heads out into the living room.
"Okay, what do you need help with?" Mike asks confused, as he sits down at his table.
"Tony Gianoplous is trying to take over Hessington Oil from Ava Hessington." Katrina reveals, "I've been looking all night and I can't figure a way to stop it." She explains, "I started with Monopoly but the oil business it too big and, it's just impossible." Katrina explains, "I need help Mike, I need your help." She says stressing the your.
"Show me what you've got." Mike requests and Katrina hands over the tablet.
"I've also got all the important files." Katrina reveals as Mike flickers through everything.
For ten minutes Mike and Katrina are both silent while Mike reads through things and Katrina makes coffee.
"I think I was going down the wrong road, but I just can't seem to find the right one." Katrina admits.
"I think I have." Mike says, as he hurriedly searches through the files, scribbles something on a piece of paper, and hands it to Katrina.
"Shit." Katrina realises, "You a genius."
"Well duh." Mike responds, "My laptop is in the other room, I can help draft if you want." He offers.
"Of course I want that." Katrina says, heading into the other room to grab Mike's laptop, and once she has it she and Mike get working on putting what they found into a strategy, as they do Mike realises that working with Katrina makes things feel pretty damn good.
A couple of hours later Katrina and Mike have done what the needed to do and Katrina has headed back to the office and given Louis what they found, and for Mike, for the first time since he quit and ended things with Harvey Mike doesn't start drinking alcohol out of a bottle, instead he actually starts to clean up a little bit.
"This is brilliant." Louis says, reading the file.
"We've got the connection. We just need to figure out how to stop it." Katrina explains.
"I already have." Louis says, turning around in his chair. "This is great work, Katrina. You struck oil." He reveals.
"It was actually Mike's idea." Katrina reveals.
"You went to Mike?" Louis asks, sounding surprised.
"Yeah."
"Why? He quit, and he made it clear that he doesn't want to come back." Louis points out.
"Mike may have quit, but that doesn't change the fact that he's the person in this world I trust the most, nor does it change the fact that he's the person I work best with." Katrina explains, "I got stuck, and I needed help. Mike is the only person I could go to, he's the only person I wanted to go to, because I knew he'd find what I couldn't see, and he did."
"Do you think he'll ever come back to the firm?" Louis asks curious.
"I don't know." Katrina admits, "But after today, after I got him to help, I think there might be a chance." She admits, "I think I managed to show him what he loves doing, and what he is missing."
"Good, that's good." Louis says, meaning that, "I hope he comes back, I miss Mike being here." Louis reveals, meaning that and not just because Mike is the best associate there is.
"So do I." Katrina says before heading out of the office.
Hours later Harvey and Katrina have both talked to Ava, who is still insisting she talks, which resulted in Harvey telling her that they are going to pretend to depose her.
Walking into the bathroom Katrina is surprised to find Donna wearing a fancy dress and doing her make up.
"Okay, either you're trying to score some extra food from the delivery guy, which I know you get without fancy clothes, or you've got a date with Stephen." Katrina realises, "Wait, how'd you do a costume change without leaving the office?" Katrina asks curious.
"I have a number that calls a guy, who knows my size." Donna explains.
"I want that number." Katrina comments.
"You can't have that number." Donna responds, causing Katrina to pout.
"So, you've got a date with Stephen, you changed your mind?" Katrina asks curious, walking over to her friend.
"It's not really a date. It's more of an… arrangement." Donna reveals.
"An arrangement?" Katrina asks, raising an eyebrow at Donna.
"He has some short-term needs, asked if I could help him out while he's in town, blah, blah, blah, I'm meeting him at eight." Donna reveals.
"Blah, blah, blah? What's blah, blah blah?" Katrina asks curious.
"Oh, you know, it's just, this that and the other thing?" Donna reveals.
"Ah huh, does he know that blah, blah, blah constitutes this, that and the other thing?" Katrina asks curious.
"Katrina, Stephen and I communicate a little more subtly, suggestive banter, double entendres. We both know what we agreed to." Donna reveals.
"I if I didn't know better I would say it sounds like you agreed to a hot and steamy affair." Katrina says, and as she does she notices the look on her friend's face, "Oh my god, did you agree to a hot and steamy affair?"
"I have no idea." Donna admits, causing the two of them to exchange laughs as they drift into silence.
"So, I went to Mike to ask him for help to stop the takeover." Katrina reveals.
"Really?" Donna asks interested, "How'd that go?" Donna asks curious.
"Surprisingly well." Katrina admits, "And he seemed, okay." Katrina admits.
"That's something." Donna comments.
"Yeah, it is." Katrina confirms, "I think that's how I can drag Mike back in the world." Katrina reveals, "If I keep reminding him of what he loves maybe he'll start to miss it and come back."
"It's worth a try." Donna admits, "But you're going to have to be careful, if you push him too hard you'll push him away." She points out.
"I know." Katrina says as Donna puts all her makeup into her make up bag.
"I've got to go." Donna informs her friend.
"Go, I want all the details later." Katrina says as Donna heads out of the bathroom.
While Katrina and Donna are talking in the bathroom Louis is walking into Jessica's office.
"Louis, what can I do for you?" Jessica asks as he walks in.
"I want off this case." Louis reveals.
"I take it you struck out with Gianoplous?" Jessica asks.
"I didn't strike out. What I did was almost pull a rabbit out of a hat, but the truth is the one good move we had has been taken away from us, and I'm not gonna be left holding the bag because Harvey choose to handcuff me." Louis reveals.
"Louis, I'm not taking you off this case." Jessica reveals, "But I am taking the handcuffs off." She tells Louis, doing so because she went to visit Toronto to have a conversation with Darby, and honestly she didn't like what he said.
"Wait, are you saying that I have your blessing to go to the board and convince them to ditch Ava Hesisngton?" Louis asks surprised.
"I'm not saying anything." Jessica says, giving Louis a look.
"Got it, wet work." Louis says, whispering wet work.
"This conversation never happened." Jessica says, heading to the door, but she stops when she sees the look on Louis's face, "What is it?" Jessica ask.
"Have you ever said to Harvey, 'this conversation never happened?" Jessica asks curious.
"Louis." Jessica says.
"Please tell me you never have." Louis requests.
"Would I tell you if I had?" Jessica asks curious.
"I'll take that as a no." Louis says.
"Good night, Louis." Jessica says, leaving her office, causing Louis to grin.
After leaving the office Jessica heads to her son's apartment, and as she isn't sure if he's answering his door again, she lets herself in, but to her shock as she enters her son's apartment she doesn't find him sitting on the couch drinking, which is how she has found him every other time she has come to see him since he quit.
"Mike?" Jessica asks, looking around.
"Kitchen." Mike answers and Jessica heads there and once more she is surprised by what she sees.
"Are you cooking?" Jessica asks her son surprised.
"Yeah, it's just pasta, but I felt like making something." Mike reveals, and as she looks at her son Jessica realises that he is completely sober.
"That's good, Mike, really good." Jessica tells her son as she puts her bag down on the table.
"Yeah." Mike confirms, "I made more than enough for two, if you're hungry." Mike tells his mother.
"I am, that will be nice." Jessica tells her son, "So this is different." She admits, "I'm glad to see that you're doing better, but what brought on the change?" she asks curious.
"I just felt like it." Mike admits, not wanting to say more as he hasn't completely forgiven his mother, "This is almost ready, do you want to grab plates?" he asks curious.
"Sure." Jessica says and she heads to the cupboards to get them.
Ten minutes later Jessica and Mike are both sitting at the table and enjoying their dinner, while actually having a pleasant conversation, though Mike doesn't tell his mother about working with Katrina, honestly he isn't quite surer why he didn't, all he knew is that it wasn't something he wanted to share.
The following morning Harvey and Katrina are in the conference room, deposing Ava, something that they have been doing for a little while, causing all three of them to have become rather frustrated.
"Then ask me a goddamn question." Ava requests, after Harvey pointed out that this deposition was her idea.
"You bribed the government. What's to stop anyone with a pulse from believing you knew that money was payment for killing those people?" Harvey asks.
"Because life is more important to me than money." Ava reveals.
"Then why the hell did you pay that bribe in the first place?" Katrina asks.
"Because that's how it works over there." Ava argues.
"Murder is also how it works over there. You did it. You know it, and you're not convincing anyone." Harvey says.
"Very good. Finally, we get to it." Ava says, sounding glad, "If you check your records, you'd know the reason we won that bid is we were the only company who took it upon ourselves to go to the people." Ava explains.
"Because you needed to see what your obstacle was." Katrina comments.
"My obstacle?" Ava asks shocked, anger in her voice, "We paid one hundred million more than anyone else on the condition that the money be used to relocate any family who lost anything within fifty miles of that pipeline, job, home, land, livestock, anything." Ava reveals, "What happened over there sickens me, I lose sleep over it every night, and as soon as I am out of this nightmare, I am going to shut down the entire project, the pipeline, the oil fields, and all of it. So I've had just about enough of the two of you wondering whether I'm guilty of these murders or not." Ava reveals, "Is that a good enough trial run for you?" Ava asks before leaving.
"Holy shit." Harvey says shocked.
"She didn't do it." Katrina realises.
While Katrina and Harvey are deposing Ava Donna is letting herself into Mike's apartment, not to drag him to his therapist appointment, something which she is still doing, but rather spend time with him.
Walking into Mike's apartment Donna finds her friend not drinking but rather actually looking pretty okay, though he is still in his pyjamas.
"Donna, did I forget an appointment with Doctor Jenkins?" Mike asks curious.
"No." Donna informs him, "I thought we could go out today, have some lunch, maybe do a bit of shopping." She reveals, "You've barely left this apartment, it could be a good idea." She admits.
"Sure. I'll go get changed." Mike says, getting up off his couch where he was watching movies, and heading into his bedroom.
After Mike leaves Donna looks around the apartment and as she does she realises that all the empty bottles are gone, and that simple observation makes her suspect that things might just be okay.
Ten minutes later Mike has gotten ready and he and Donna head out where they spend the next few hours together, and as they spend time together Donna realises that Mike is doing a lot better, and that he is more like the person he was before he broke up with Harvey, and she isn't sure what caused the changed, though she is glad to see it.
While Donna and Mike are spending time together Katrina is waiting outside Pearson Darby so that she can talk to Louis, who is just getting out of a car.
"Louis, what did you do?" Katrina asks, walking over to him.
"Why do you think I did something?" Louis asks, pretending to be insulted.
"I know you." Katrina tells him, "And whatever you did you have to un do it." Katrina informs him.
"Why?" Louis asks confused.
"Ava's innocent." Katrina reveals.
"What?" Louis asks, sounding shocked and confused.
"Take a look at this." Katrina says, handing over a flash drive, "And undo whatever you did." Katrina tells Louis before walking away.
Having spent the last few hours together Donna and Mike are both arriving back at Mike's apartment, both carrying bas, honestly Mike isn't entirely sure what he brought, all he knows is Donna convinced him to buy it all.
"I better get to work." Donna tells Mike, being pretty sure that if Harvey hasn't noticed she hasn't shown he's going to notice soon.
"Yeah you should." Mike confirms, and then to Donna's surprise he walks the last few steps that separate them and hugs her, "Thank you, Donna." She tells her friend, being incredible grateful for the support and help Donna has given him lately.
"You don't have to thank me, Mike." Donna assures her friend, returning the hug, "I'm just glad you're doing better."
"I am, and I think working with Katrina again was a huge part of the reason." Mike admits as the two of them break apart.
"That's good." Donna says, squeezing Mike's shoulder, "I'll see you Monday for your appointment."
"Okay." Mike says with a nod and Donna heads out of Mike's apartment. Once Donna leaves Mike looks around and he realises that while he still feels the ache for Harvey that he's been feeling since they broke up he has no desire to dull that feeling with alcohol, and so instead he heads over to his DVD collection and puts on one of the Star Trek DVD's that Harvey gave him, what feels like a lifetime ago, and starts to watch.
Many hours after her conversation with Louis Katrina is working in her office when she hears footsteps and she looks up to see Harvey walking in.
"I figured out what we're gonna do." Harvey reveals.
"And what is that?" Katrina asks curious.
"What we should have done in the first place. We're going to let her talk to the board." Harvey reveals.
"And pre-empt tomorrows meeting with one of our own." Katrina realises.
"If she can convince us she's innocent, she can convince them to keep her in charge and vote against the takeover." Harvey explains.
"Win win." Katrina realises.
"Have Louis set it up." Harvey requests.
"Louis? Really?" Katrina asks, not sure whether that is a good idea.
"Yeah, he'll love it. Letting her talk is what he wanted her to do in the first place. Get it done." Harvey says before walking away, leaving Katrina in her office.
It has been a little while since Harvey told Katrina to have Louis set up a meeting with the board and he is currently standing in his office, drinking a glass of scotch and staring out the window.
"Did you need anything else, Harvey?" Donna asks from the doorway.
"Nothing you can help me with." Harvey admits as he takes a drink.
"Harvey…" Donna starts to says as she walks into the office, closing the door behind her.
"I miss Mike." Harvey admits, feeling no shame in doing so, "And I don't just mean I miss him as my boyfriend, I miss working with him, I miss him being my associate." Harvey reveals, "Katrina's good, but it should be Mike working on this. We should be working on this together." Harvey reveals, "I miss him." He reveals, it being perfectly clear that he feels a gap in every part of his life where Mike used to be.
"Harvey…" Donna starts to say, not overly sure what she is going to say, but knowing that she has to say something.
"You can go." Harvey says and reluctantly Donna heads out of the room, closing the door behind her, while Harvey continues to stare out of the window while he thinks of Mike.
After doing what Harvey asked Katrina left the firm, but instead of heading home to her apartment she has headed to Mike where she, like normal, lets herself in, but as she enters she sees no sign of her best friend.
"MIKE?" Katrina calls, assuming that her friend is home as the TV is still playing.
"BATHROOM." Mike's voice calls and so Katrina heads there.
Walking into the bathroom Katrina is once more surprised by the sight that greats her,
"You're shaving." Katrina notes, being surprised by that.
"Yeah, I thought it was time." Mike admits.
"I'm pretty sure that it was time a week ago." Katrina comments, "But glad that you're finally getting rid of it."
"I think I am too." Mike says, sounding a little uncertain as honestly he isn't overly sure of anything, though as he shaves and looks in the mirror he can see the refection of his best friend and he can't help but be concerned, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Katrina lies.
"No, you're not." Mike says, turning to look at his friend, "I know that for the last few weeks I've been, well, a mess, but I'm still here for you Katrina, whatever you need, even if it's just to talk." Mike says, realising that he has been a pretty selfish friend lately.
"Thanks Mike, but I'm okay, I'm just tired, that's all." Katrina reveals, "Working for two senior partners is exhausting." She reveals as she is currently feeling completely drained.
"Oh." Mike says, not sure how to respond to that as he knows that It is his fault that Katrina is working for both Harvey and Louis in the first place.
"Yeah." Katrina says as there is a knock on the door.
"That will probably be my food." Mike realises.
"I'll go and get it." Katrina says before leaving the bathroom to collect the food, leaving Mike to shave.
The following morning, Harvey and Katrina have learnt, as they arrived for the meeting where Ava was going to talk to her board, that Ava has been voted out, and because he knows exactly who was really behind it all Harvey once they get back to the office Harvey goes straight to Jessica's office, feeling beyond angry at what she did.
"You think I don't know this was you?" Harvey asks angrily as he storms into Jessica's office.
"I don't care whether you know it was me or not. I stand by what I did, and I'd do it again." Jessica says from the table she is sitting at.
"You mean selling Ava out because of your personal issues with me?" Harvey asks angrily.
"This isn't personal, and it's not about you." Jessica informs Harvey, there being anger in her voice too.
"Bullshit. Ever since Darby handed me this case and not you, you've been pissed." Harvey argues.
"I wasn't pissed until we had a disagreement on strategy, and you invoked his name to cut me out." Jessica says angrily.
"I get it. I wasn't wrong about it being personal. I was wrong about which person." Harvey realises, "You're not pissed at me. You're pissed at yourself for getting played." Harvey realises.
"What did you just say to me?" Jessica asks angrily.
"You heard me." Harvey informs her, "Fools rush in, and you're the one who gave him the fifty-one percent in the first place."
"I merged with Edward for the sake of this firm, just like what I did today with Ava, and the only one in this room taking things personally is you." Jessica informs Harvey.
"Tell yourself whatever you want, but don't tell me doesn't have to do with Darby, and don't tell me it isn't personal, because you can't stand being number two." Harvey says before walking out of Jessica's office in anger.
After walking away from Jessica's office Harvey heads straight to his, still feeling angry.
"Harvey, do you have a minute?" Donna asks as he walks past.
"No, I don't." Harvey says, the anger he is feeling at Jessica still in his voice, "I need Edward Darby on the phone right now." Harvey reveals, "By the way, where were you this morning?" Harvey asks.
"What are you talking about? I was here." Donna says as Harvey didn't notice that she was missing for hours day before and yet he did notice when she wasn't at her cubical for a few minutes.
"You weren't here." Harvey says.
"I was in the copy room." Donna explains.
"Well, what the hell were you doing in the copy room?" Harvey asks and Donna feels herself becoming nervous.
"I was finishing up a couple of things for Stephen." Donna reveals, it being the first thing she can think to say.
"You're working for Stephen?" Harvey asks surprised, and the anger is back in his voice.
"I made some copies."
"You work for me." Harvey tells her.
"Sorry. It was a one-time thing." Donna says.
"Well, since you haven't got Darby for me yet, what do you want?" Harvey asks.
"Nothing. It can wait." Donna says before leaving Harvey's office, being pretty sure that that could have gone a hell of a lot better.
It has been hours since Donna and Harvey talked about Stephen and Harvey got angry at her and then donna spent the rest of the day doing her best to avoid Harvey and as she has been for a little while, Donna is sitting on the floor of her living room with Katrina and the two them are drinking.
"So you ended up not telling Harvey about having sex with Stephen and instead you told him that you were making copies for him?" Katrina asks surprised.
"Yep." Donna confirms, taking a drink.
"That was a horrible idea." Katrina tells her friend.
"I know." Donna says, pulling a face because of the shot she just took.
"Seriously Donna, telling Harvey that you were doing assistant work for Stephen is probably the worst thing you could have said, he would take you having sex with Stephen a hell of a lot better." Katrina tells her friend.
"I know." Donna says with a sigh, "I chickened out and now everything's gone to shit."
"Not everything." Katrina says, putting an arm around her friend, "Here, do another shot everything will feel better."
"Hopefully." Donna says, doing the shot, "So have you noticed the change in Mike the last few days?" she asks curious, once she does the shot.
"Yep." Katrina reveals, "He actually shaved yesterday."
"Wow." Donna says shocked, "That's good, do you think he'll be ready to come back to the office soon? Be ready to actually talk to Harvey so that the two of them can figure things out?"
"I hope so." Katrina says and the two of them drift into silence.
At Mike's place Mike is sitting at his desk on his laptop, his fingers on the table but he can't bring himself to type, not quite yet.
"You can't just sit here and drink anymore, Mike." Mike tells himself, and at that reminder Mike starts to type, searching how to set up a legal aid client, as for the last couple of days he has been thinking and he's realised that if he can't go back to the firm, which he doesn't feel like he can right now, then that's what he wants to do, and because of the settlement money he got when his parents were killed he has the money to do so.
Having spent hours doing research for what he wants to do next Mike found himself unable to sleep as he kept thinking about several things he has to do, while he isn't ready for the biggest one, and he isn't sure he will ever be, Mike knows that if he wants to move on, and even if he wants to try again with Harvey, which truthfully is what he wants but doesn't see happening as there is a conversation that he and Harvey will have to have, and Harvey would have to assure him of a couple of things, then there is something he has to, but he can't do it alone.
Checking the time, Mike realises that Donna should be at the office, and as she is the only person he can ask to come with him to do what he needs to do, he dials the number for her line.
"Donna Paulsen's office." Donna answers after a few rings.
"Hey, it's Mike." Mike reveals.
"Hey, what's going on?" Donna asks curious as not once in the last few weeks has Mike called her.
"There's something I need to do and if I were to tell Mom, or Katrina, or even Louis, and especially Harvey, they'd never let me." Mike says, and Donna is pretty sure that it is the first time that Mike has said Harvey's name since they broke up, at least to her.
"I really don't like the sound of that." Donna admits.
"Yeah, I don't expect you to." Mike admits, "I want to go to Rikers to visit Trevor." Mike reveals to Donna's complete shock and before she says what she has to say she turns away from Harvey's office, so that he can't hear.
"Mike, that is a really bad idea." Donna tells her friend, having lowered her voice as she is pretty sure that if Harvey even thought he heard Mike's name then he would come out to see what was going on.
"Maybe, but it's something I have to do, but I know I can't go alone." Mike reveals, as even the thought of being in a room with Trevor and guards fill him with terror, he needs someone he trusts to go with him, and that is a short list.
"Mike, you have serious flashbacks just hearing his name, how are you going to handle being in the same room as him?" Donna asks concerned.
"I don't know, which is why I need you to come with me." Mike reveals, "Please Donna, I'm begging you. I've been talking to Doctor Jenkins about this for a while, if I want to move on from what he did then I need to do this, and I can't do it alone." Mike explains, desperation in his voice.
"Okay." Donna says with a nod, being pretty sure that she is going to regret agreeing to this, "When do you want to go?" she asks curious and Mike explains.
A few hours later Mike and Donna have passed through security and are sitting at a table waiting for Trevor in a room. As she looks at Mike Donna can see him becoming afraid.
"If this gets too much just tell me, or squeeze my hand and I'll get us out of here." Donna assures her friend.
"Thanks Donna." Mike says, sounding grateful and for several minutes they are both quiet until the door opens and Trevor is lead in.
The second Trevor walks in Donna can see Mike tense and she becomes even surer that he's not going to get through this okay.
"Well, this is a surprise." Trevor says, looking at Mike, "And I don't believe we've had the pleasure." He says to Donna.
"Being in a room with you is a lot of things, a pleasure isn't one of them." Donna says angrily, glaring at Trevor, as she looks out the corner of her eye and realise that Mike seems frozen, and so she reaches out and squeezes his leg in comfort.
"Well Michael, what are you doing here?" Trevor asks, looking at Mike, "What too scared to speak? You know that reminds me of…." He starts to say.
"Don't." Mike says managing to find his voice, "Why?" Mike stutters out, "Why did you do that to me?" Mike asks, Donna being able to tell that Mike is fighting off a flashback.
"Because you're mine, and now you'll always know that." Trevor says, speaking like it's a matter of fact, "No matter what happens, no matter if you think you've moved on, you'll always remember, and you'll always know that you belong to me."
"I don't belong to anyone." Mike says his voice forceful for the first time, "And this was a mistake." He says, standing up, knowing that he has to get out of the room, before he loses it.
"Oh don't go Michael, there is so much I have to say to you." Trevor says as Donna stands up too.
"Well I have nothing more to say to you, you'll never see or hear from me again." Mike reveals, meaning that completely, "And you'll always know that I was never yours, and I never will be." Mike says before leaving, Donna right behind him.
The second Mike is out of the room he leans against the wall and ends up sliding down it so he's sitting on the floor and Donna kneels in front of him.
"You're okay, Mike." Donna says in a reassuring voice, "It's over, he didn't' hurt you, you never have to see him again." She says and for a few minutes Mike sits on the floor, clearly having a flashback as Donna kneels in front of him, having made it clear to the guards that they shouldn't approach.
After a few minutes, longer than Donna has ever seen a flashback last before, Donna recognizes the signs of Mike starting to come out of his flashback,
"Mike?"
"Donna?" Mike asks, "Where's Harvey?" he asks, being confused for a second then everything comes back to him, "Not here, right. I don't know why I asked that."
"Maybe because he's who you want to see most right now." Donna tells her friend.
"Maybe, but I don't think he wants to see me." Mike admits as Donna helps him to his feet.
"That's not true Mike." Donna assures him, "Why don't you come back to the firm with me." She suggests.
"I think I need to see Doctor Jenkins." Mike reveals, as even though he would love to see Harvey he isn't sure that it is a good idea considering their last conversation, "I booked an emergency appointment just in case." He reveals.
"Okay. Let's go then." Donna says, deciding not to push Mike to see Harvey as she is pretty sure he's not the one that needs the push.
"Yeah." Mike says and the two of them leave.
Hours later Mike has attended his appointment with Doctor Jenkins and after that Donna and Mike returned to Mike's apartment where they have been watching movies and eating take away ever since as Donna didn't feel comfortable leaving Mike alone.
Even though Donna did have plans with Stephen she cancelled them as she knew that making sure Mike was okay, making sure that the person who is practically her little brother is okay, is more important than her date.
