Ep 2. Errors and Omissions

Mike Ross is a brilliant law student who has been working as a drug dealer to pay for his grandmother's medical bills. He gets a job interview at a law firm, Pearson Hardman. Meanwhile, the partners at Pearson Hardman are having a meeting to discuss a potential lawsuit against a client whose company is responsible for a life-threatening medical device. One of the senior associates, Daniel Hardman, is worried about the case and has been keeping the client's file to himself, even from the firm's managing partner, Jessica Pearson.

During his interview, Mike impresses Harvey Specter, one of the best lawyers at the firm, with his legal knowledge. Harvey decides to take a chance on Mike and hires him as his new associate. Jessica is not happy about the decision but left with no choice. Mike's first case involves representing a young woman named Kate, whose father died in a car accident. Kate had previously rejected a settlement offer from the insurance company, and now the case is going to trial. Harvey assigns Mike to handle the case, hoping to see what he is capable of.

Mike quickly learns that the insurance company's lawyer, Travis Tanner, is one of the best in the business and will stop at nothing to win the case. He also realizes that he made a mistake in the file submitted to the court and has to take swift action to correct it. He contacts the opposing counsel and tries to bribe him to let the mistake slide, but Tanner is not interested. Mike decides to come clean to Harvey and Jessica about the mistake he made. The two senior partners are not happy with Mike's error but give him a chance to make things right.

Meanwhile, Louis Litt, another senior associate, is suspicious of Mike and decides to investigate his background. Louis discovers that Mike never went to law school and confronts him about it. Mike manages to convince Louis that he is the real deal, but Louis warns him that he will be watching him closely.

As the trial approaches, Mike and Harvey find out that Tanner has an ace up his sleeve. A witness who was supposed to testify for Kate's case is now going to testify for the opposing side. Harvey and Mike have to come up with a new strategy to win the case. They decide to prove that the witness is lying and discredit him on the stand. The trial is intense, with both sides presenting strong arguments. But in the end, Harvey and Mike's plan pays off, and they win the case for Kate.

The episode ends with Harvey giving Mike a new case to work on. Harvey tells Mike that he wants him to succeed, but warns him not to make any more mistakes. Jessica also tells Mike that he needs to be more careful, but acknowledges that he is talented and has potential. Mike feels relieved that he proved himself to his coworkers and excited to work on his next case.
