法官妻子Lauren为什么不愿意把和Harvey的真实关系告诉法官？
因为法官Donald发现他们之间所谓的affair后改变了，又重新开始关注Lauren了。
LAUREN: Our whole marriage, Donald’s only ever cared about one thing. His sterling reputation. Never overturned. I was… When he found out you and I had… He changed. Looked at me for the first time again. Like I mattered. I’m sorry. I can’t tell him.
另外，有个关于专利的知识，禁止令申请被拒绝后，Harvey让Mike向专利局申请启动抵触审查程序。抵触审查是美国专利制度特有的。美国专利制度采取“先发明制”，即不同的发明人就同样的发明创造申请专利时，专利权授予先做出发明的人。
HARVEY: You’re going back to the office to file an interference claim with the Patent Office.
MIKE: Okay. Wait. What’s that?
HARVEY: It’s how they determine who wins these situations. It’s not always who filed first, so we have a chance.

Hey, wait. What happened in there?
Donna. The address for that fundraiser at the gallery last month? I need you to text it to me and clear my afternoon.
Hey. Where are we going?
You’re going back to the office to file an interference claim with the Patent Office.
Okay. Wait. What’s that?
It’s how they determine who wins these situations. It’s not always who filed first, so we have a chance.
So why didn’t we do that in the first place?
Because it takes longer and I wanted to head Velocity off at the pass.
Hey, where are you going?
To iron out a wrinkle.
If you’re really interested, come back tomorrow around 1:00. The afternoon light really makes this canvas come alive.
Pardon me. I was wondering, would I get a discount for being the guy you cheated on your husband with?
Can you excuse me for a second? What are you doing here?
I had a hearing in front of the judge this morning. It didn’t go very well. Why did you lie to him?
I’m sorry.
I mean, I recall you being tipsy that night, but I’m finding it hard to believe that your memory is so cloudy, you forgot I sent you home in a cab.
After humiliating me.
Well, I was a perfect gentleman.
Yes, exactly. I fall all over myself making a pass, and you do the right thing and send me home.
Okay. I’m sorry you felt humiliated. But I told you I don’t sleep with married women.
Right. The moral code.
No. It’s too big of a pain in the ass. As evidenced by my experience in court this morning.
What do you want from me, Harvey?
I need you to tell him the truth.
I can’t.
Yes, you can.
Why didn’t you just tell him?
He’s never going to believe me.
And what makes you think he’ll believe me?
Because he’d want to.
Our whole marriage, Donald’s only ever cared about one thing. His sterling reputation. Never overturned. I was… When he found out you and I had… He changed. Looked at me for the first time again. Like I mattered. I’m sorry. I can’t tell him.
