In "Pound of Flesh," the fifth episode of the fourth season of Suits, Mike struggles to come to terms with his new role at the firm, now that he is no longer a lawyer. While he has been doing his best to help out in any way he can, he feels like he is no longer contributing as much as he was before. Meanwhile, Harvey takes on a high-stakes case for a client who has been accused of being a trader for a terrorist organization.

As Mike is trying to find his place at the law firm, he is approached by a man named Louis Litt, who asks him to help with a case involving a stockbroker who has been accused of insider trading. Mike is excited for the opportunity to use his skills and knowledge to help with a case, but he quickly realizes that he is not technically allowed to do so, now that he no longer holds a law degree.

Despite the legal implications, Mike and Louis continue to work on the case in secret. However, they soon realize that they may have bitten off more than they can chew, as the stockbroker's involvement in the case starts to become more and more complicated. They are forced to turn to Harvey for help, which puts Mike in an awkward position, as he is not sure if Harvey will be willing to help them out.

As the case heats up, Harvey begins to suspect that there may be more to his client than meets the eye. He begins to dig deeper into the case, trying to figure out what the true motives of the government officials are who are pressing charges against his client. In doing so, he puts himself in a dangerous position, as he risks angering powerful people within the government who are trying to keep the truth hidden.

As Mike and Louis continue to work on the insider trading case, they are forced to confront the fact that Mike's lack of legal credentials is becoming more and more of a problem. However, they don't give up, using their skills and ingenuity to find a way around the legal loopholes that are preventing Mike from participating in the case fully.

Meanwhile, Harvey's investigation into his client's case takes a shocking turn, as he uncovers evidence that suggests that his client may be innocent. However, proving his client's innocence will not be easy, as powerful people within the government are working to ensure that the case never sees the light of day.

As the tension builds in "Pound of Flesh," the characters are forced to face difficult truths about themselves and their roles at the law firm.
