Harvey and Robert acquire the help of their right - hand men Alex and Samantha, respectively, to convince one of the clients to drop the overlapping division that cause the conflict. Both Alex and Samantha are invested in order to solidify their claim to become the next name partner, which introduces Specter Litt 's lawyers to Samantha 's tactics. Donna helps Harvey see that he 's tired of the view on top of the mountain, making him concede to Robert. Katrina asks to be tasked with firing the least efficient associates, but it gets complicated when Louis 's favorite associate Brian ends up at the bottom of the list. 110 "Pecking Order '' Michael Smith Genevieve Sparling July 25, 2018 (2018 - 07 - 25) 1.18 An old friend of Mike 's comes knocking for help when 50 million dollars for a new business venture goes missing, meaning he might be accused of embezzlement. Harvey suspects that his business partner made the money disappear, but Robert fears he 's too trusting of Mike 's friend and secretly puts Samantha on the case as well. While the two lawyers bicker over the right strategy to find the guilty party, Donna enlists the help of Gretchen to find out who exactly Samantha is and whose team she 's playing for. Sheila urges Louis to fight for managing partner, which brings to light Louis 's concerns about their relationship dynamics. Meanwhile, Alex sets out to prove his worth for name partner by attempting to poach Gavin Andrews, one of Robert 's former important clients from Rand Kaldor. 111 "Promises, Promises '' Roger Kumble Rob LaMorgese & Marshall Knight August 1, 2018 (2018 - 08 - 01) 1.16 Harvey finds out that the firm 's cleaning lady does not receive the payments for her overtime, which she need for her mother 's medical costs, because of a manager title given to her by Gabriel Fox, the firm 's landlord. While the other name partners and Donna tell him not to, he starts a fight with Fox. Alex is successful in signing Gavin Andrews but he is immediately tasked with carrying out a plan set up by Gavin to launder money. Alex pleads with Samantha to help him find a way out without firing him as a client, which would backfire on the new firm 's reputation. Later, Samantha informs him that Robert promised her name partner. Meanwhile, Katrina is given the chance to prove her worth for senior partner by showcasing leadership over Brian, but Brian has to step up when stress - induced migraines take her out of the game. 112 "Revenue Per Square Foot '' Michael Smith Ethan Drogin August 8, 2018 (2018 - 08 - 08) 1.09 After opening with the kind of Sheila and Louis interaction, the tone shifts when Louis is mugged on the way to his meeting. And even though Louis is injured from it, the trauma and the blow to his pride are what hurt him the most. That keeps him from telling the truth to Zane about why he misses his meeting. Even when he has his client taken away because of it, he 'd rather not appear as a victim. He 'd rather appear like he blew something off than for his new boss to see him as weak. Samantha reads Louis pretty quickly after he loses in court and then blows up at her. She does n't take it personally because she sees right away that all of this is out of character for him. She takes the matter to Harvey rather than to Zane and when Harvey confronts Louis to find out what 's going up on with him, it 's Harvey that Louis is finally able to open up to. As Donna points out, Zane has some things to learn himself. He ca n't lead the way he did at his old firm. He may be good at being managing partner, and he may be more suited for it than Harvey is, but he 's not perfect. He still has room to grow, too. Zane reveals to Louis that he 's been on the other end of a similar traumatic experience. Samantha is softened a bit more in her interactions with Louis, and she can identify with him on this more than he realizes. She 's been through it too, and now she 's offering to be there for Louis and to teach him some basics in self - defense. 113 5 "Good Mudding '' TBA TBA August 15, 2018 (2018 - 08 - 15) TBD 114 6 "Cats, Ballet, Harvey Specter '' TBA TBA August 22, 2018 (2018 - 08 - 22) TBD 115 7 TBA Gabriel Macht TBA August 29, 2018 (2018 - 08 - 29) TBD
