Differences Between Harvey And Louis

After influencing most of the firms employees and using manipulation to gain Louis’ vote ,Hardman wins the final vote, and replaces Jessica as managing partner. He and Louis tries to ‘bait’ Harvey by making his and Mike's work lives awful. Tess, Mike’s childhood friend along with Rachel help him make a speech at his grandmother’s funeral. Harvey gets high on marijuana with Mike, and when Louis observes Harvey in his high state, he reports to Hardman, whom orders Harvey to take a drug test of which he refuses.
