Harvey DOES own other clothes besides a suit! He takes a rare day off and rides the train out of the city dressed in khakis and a collared, button-down shirt under a thin sweater. He's watching the scenery pass by, and it's like he's reflecting on the past, specifically five years ago, which provides a lot of answers and insight into story lines and characters.
Five years ago, Mike's a bike messenger living with Travis, Harvey isn't a senior partner and Louis' gets a secretary named Norma -- Donna doesn't think she'll last a week. I guess the only way to bring back Donna was to turn back the lock.

And what Louis finds is that Daniel Hardman, managing partner at the time, has been moving money different accounts!
