A rewatch of this episode reiterated one thing for me in that for all of Jessica and Harvey's legal skills and ability to outmaneouver opponents on the fly, their one big flaw is their inability to compromise or give a little. Had they let Louis take Versa Life or one small client to Zane, they would have had his gratitude and continued loyalty. Instead, Jessica was adamanat that she didn't care about what happened to Louis and couldn't care less if he found a job. Harvey, while caring about Louis, wasn't willing to find a way for him to stay in the only city he ever loved. Offering a job in Cinniciati is no compromise for Harvey. In their minds because Louis screwed up so immensely and betrayed the firm, he was not entitled to any assistance. Had they been willing to bend a little, Mike's past would never have been discovered.
