Lola: I must say, I was really impressed you figured out what I was doing. Especially since you're not even a real lawyer.
Mike: What are you... what are you talking about?
Lola: I accessed Harvard Law School's alumni directory. Every class that graduated for the last ten years. No record of Mike Ross at all.

Mike Ross' Harvard Diploma (Lola's Gift)

Lola's gift to Mike

  • Lola Jensen hacks into Harvard Law School's alumni directory and discovers that Mike Ross never graduated. Threatening to expose his fraud if he does not back down, Mike prepares to throw in the towel until Harvey convinces him that Lola would not live up to the threat. After Mike enlists Lola's help to prevent Anthony Mazlo from successfully getting away with embezzlement, thus keeping Stable Shelters alive, Lola thanks Mike by hacking his name into the alumni directory, giving him a fake transcript and placing him at the top of the class, while also presenting him with an actual diploma she had Harvard print out for him. She warns Mike that he may still get caught one day, although her actions have made his chances considerably smaller.

Quotes

Harvey: I'm not just a lawyer to Jerome, okay? I'm... I'm more like Robert Duvall in The Godfather. His consigliere.
Mike: [amused] Okay.
Harvey: What?
Mike: Uh, nothing. Just if you're his Robert Duvall, you're coming to me, so technically I'm your Robert Duvall.
Harvey: You're my Fredo.
Mike: You know, forging a government document like this after 9/11 is next to impossible.
