Samantha Wheeler (spoilers)

Haven't seen season 9 yet but from what I read/heard about her in Season 9, how the fuck did she become name partner so quickly?

She lost fair and square to Alex in a case, then went crying and bitching to Robert about how he promised her name partner and got it (didn't deserve it btw in the first place).

Then in Season 9, she had to resort to evidence tampering to beat Mike (which ended up with her dumbest getting fired due to Harvey pitching her out and Faye overhearing this), and then went to Mike to basically help get her job back (which originally happened because she had to play dirty).

And we're supposed to buy that she's some hot shot attorney like Harvey? Gtfo
