‘Suits LA’ Series Finale Explained After NBC Cancellations: Who Died? Were There Surprise Cameos?

Suits LA has come to an end after one season — but did the series finale go out on a high?

During the Sunday, May 18, finale, Ted (Stephen Amell) partnered with his ex Samantha (Rachelle Goulding) to go up against a powerful — but dangerous — producer. This paved the way for Ted and Samantha’s law firms to merge after their falling out earlier in the season.

There was also progress in Rick (Bryan Greenberg) and Erica’s (Lex Scott Davis) relationship after she finally decided to give him a chance. Elsewhere in the finale, flashbacks revealed how Ted’s father contributed to his brother, Eddie’s (Carson A. Egan), death.

Suits LA’s end is as satisfying as it could get after NBC pulled the plug on the show earlier this month. The network shocked fans by not renewing Lopez vs. Lopez, Night Court, Found, The Irrational and Suits LA.

NBC has since renewed The Hunting Party and Brilliant Minds, but those are the only freshman shows that survived their inaugural seasons — in addition to Grosse Pointe Garden Society, which is still on the bubble. The tough decisions come after the network signed an 11-year deal with the NBA.

Suits LA, which premiered in February, is a spinoff that was ordered by NBC in response to a resurgence in interest after the original Suits was added to Netflix and Peacock. Set in a fictional New York City corporate law firm, the original Suits followed associate lawyer Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams), who started working with Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht). The legal drama, which ran from 2011 to 2019, focused on Harvey and Mike winning lawsuits and closing cases while simultaneously hiding Mike’s secret that he didn’t go to law school.

NBC’s newest version starred Amell, Davis, Greenberg and Josh McDermitt as fictional attorneys in feuding Los Angeles firms. The short-lived spinoff brought back Macht and Rick Hoffman from the OG show before its series finale.

Ted Black

While initially refusing to work with Samantha on a potential class action lawsuit against a powerful Hollywood producer, the exes were able to bring him down. Ted got help from Elizabeth (Sofia Pernas), which didn’t sit well with his other love interest Amanda (Maggie Grace).

Amanda changed her mind once she realized Ted was going up against the producer because he nearly assaulted Rosalyn (Azita Ghanizada) when she worked for him years prior. Ted ended the season — and the series — on good terms with everyone in his life after agreeing to merge with Samantha and Stuart’s (McDermitt) firm.

Ted was also able to make peace with his past as he recalled how his brother, Eddie, died in an explosion that was meant for Ted. Their father knew — and chose to sacrifice Eddie — which led to his fallout with Ted.

Erica Rollins

Suits LA wrapped up with Erica confronting her feelings for Rick. Despite previously shutting down a chance at them having a real future, Erica reconsidered after seeing how much he cared about her. Erica’s last scene was her confronting Rick in his apartment before the couple officially got together.

Stuart Lane

The criminal defense lawyer continued to mend his friendship with Ted by using his position as the executor of Ted’s dad’s will to name a park after Eddie. Stuart then asked Ted if he wanted to merge their firms and the friends reminisced on getting to work together again soon.

Rick Dodsen

After turning down Dylan’s (Victoria Justice) advances, Rick went against Erica in court for his client. Rick explained to Dylan that they couldn’t give romance a try because he still cared for someone else. By the end of the series, Rick made his feelings for Erica clear and they finally gave their relationship a real try.
