Mike Ross is a brilliant and intuitive young man who never took the bar exam. He has been working as a legal associate at Pearson Specter Litt, one of the top law firms in New York City, for the last five years. The only problem is, Mike doesn't have a law degree and the firm's managing partner, Jessica Pearson, is aware of this fact.
In season 5 episode 13, titled "God's Green Earth," the firm is dealing with the fallout from the recent departure of one of their top partners, Louis Litt. While the team is struggling to pick up the slack, Harvey Specter, another top partner at the firm, is trying to deal with his own problems. Harvey has been struggling with anxiety and panic attacks, and he has been avoiding taking his medication despite his therapist's urging.
Meanwhile, Mike Ross is dealing with a crisis of conscience. He is torn between his loyalty to Harvey and his desire to come clean about his lack of a law degree. Mike knows that he has been lying to everyone at the firm for years and that his fraud could hurt not only himself but also his colleagues.
As tensions rise at Pearson Specter Litt, the team is tasked with representing a farmer whose land has been contaminated by toxic waste from a nearby company. The farmer, who is played by guest star Eric Close, is desperate to save his family's farm and his crops, but he is up against a team of ruthless lawyers from the company.
As the case progresses, tensions continue to mount at the firm. Mike's guilt over his fraud eats away at him, and he struggles to find a way to confess without hurting anyone. Meanwhile, Harvey's anxiety continues to spiral out of control, and he finds himself lashing out at his colleagues and making risky decisions.
The episode ultimately builds to a tense and dramatic conclusion, as the team goes up against the company's lawyers in court. As they fight for justice on behalf of the farmer, each member of the team must also confront their own personal demons and make difficult choices about their future.
