Why this must be read: This is quite simply a delight from beginning to end. The costume selections are brilliant, the characterizations is spot-on and just the idea of Tony Stark and Harvey Specter facing off makes me giddy.

In a nutshell, Tony is at his new home in New York hosting a big Halloween party and Jessica wants Harvey to sign him to the firm. Mike manages to convince Harvey to take him as his plus one. Once they arrive, Harvey notices that Tony and Steve are a couple and decides that's his in with Stark and easily convinces Mike to pretend he's his date for the evening. The sparks inevitably begin to fly.

It's just a fun ride full of snappy dialogue that never fails to make me smile. Don't you deserve to treat yourself to a smile too?



It sounded like the setup of a bad joke, or at least the starting point of a horribly clichéd supervillain plot. It was trite, unnecessary, and, quite frankly, in horrid taste, and Harvey didn’t hesitate to point this out to Jessica.

“I want Tony Stark,” she stated, unperturbed. “And you’re getting him for me.”

Harvey didn’t even bother to crack the obvious joke. “Then get me a meeting with him. Or let me find a way to get one myself. This is ridiculous.”

“Stark only has time for superheroes and supermodels, and you are neither. The man doesn’t go a day without slandering someone important or exploding something expensive. He’s one of the richest men in the world, and he’s just moved to New York. Ergo, his billables will you get you your own private island by the end of the year, and I’ll have my own country.” She smiled; it was clear that Harvey would get no leeway whatsoever here. “Go to his party, butter him up, and close him.”

“A costume party full of superheroes.” Harvey scoffed. “Are you honestly asking me to dress like T-1000 to close Tony Stark?”

“Don’t be ridiculous—he’ll think you’re sucking up to him if you do that. Get a better costume.” Jessica handed him the invitation with a stern look. “Find a way to impress him. I want my country.”
