Remember season 1, where Suits was light-hearted fun? Me neither. 

I was not expecting that from the second episode of the season! It was amazingly plotted though: the contrast between Mike sacrificing his happiness for the good of the firm (and Harvey) and Harvey refusing to sacrifice his pride for Jessica was heart-breaking. Harvey wouldn't be Harvey if he lost, but it was strange to see him not realize how it was all going to blow up in his face. But oh my God, show, could you break my heart more times in one hour? The expression on Jessica's face when she realizes Hardman already has Louis; the way Harvey just sort of stands there, stunned, when he realizes what his "win-win" meant to Jessica, and how Mike just reinforces how unconsciously hypocritical that was of him. And of course, Rachel and Mike. (Mostly Rachel though; she just can't get a break.) 

I don't know what that last scene meant, when Harvey rolls the tea tray into Jessica's office and tells her she's not alone, but it seemed ominously symbolic that the last shot is of Harvey walking down the hallways of Pearson Hardman alone, as if to remind the audience that he may promise to support Jessica, but he's already failed her once.
