Watching Suits LA's series finale, it's clear that the episode was never intended to be the final one. While there are several full-circle moments going back to the pilot, they act more as new beginnings for a potential second season than as closure. But whether you enjoyed the West Coast offshoot or found yourself wishing you could spend more time with Harvey Specter & Co., the fact of the matter is that the NBC drama got the cancellation axe, so this is where Ted Black's journey ends.
In the finale, Ted and his ex Samantha teamed up to take down abusive Hollywood producer Avery Jeffers (guest star Mike O'Malley), who used to be Rosalyn's boss. Her time working for him, during which he tried to assault her, proved to be crucial to the case, as did the files of Marvin the HR rep, who was also employed by Avery. Ted took what he had to prosecutor Elizabeth Smith, even though he knew it could cost him the respect of Amanda, who doesn't like Elizabeth's ways. Their plan to take away Avery's power worked… but also unexpectedly landed Ted in a bit of a love triangle.

Samantha told Ted that watching him work did make her fall for him. 'Then or now?' Ted asked, but they were interrupted before she could answer.
Meanwhile, Amanda admitted to Ted that he made the right call and that she, too, cares about what he thinks of her. She confessed to making a mistake when she said she couldn't be head of criminal and get involved with him. She asked him out for a drink, and he said he needed to see someone that night, but they could go tomorrow.
Then Ted ran into Samantha, who wanted to know what he thought of Stuart's offer to go through with their merger. Ted noted that Samantha implied that she was falling for him again. She's not afraid to mix business and the personal, she replied, and so what if he has feelings for Amanda?
'I'm not afraid of messy,' she declared, to which Ted replied that he was so in on the merger. (It helped that Ted and Stuart had a moment after the latter used Ted's dad's money to name and expand a park in Eddie's memory, with Kevin's help. Speaking of Kevin, he took the job at Ted's firm.)
In other romantic entanglements, Dylan went to sign with Erica, thinking that Rick being her lawyer was the only thing standing in the way of them exploring a relationship. Rick later admitted to Dylan that he has feelings for someone else, and he can't be with anyone for now. So Dylan went back to having Rick represent her, which pissed off Erica, who assumed that Rick was badmouthing her. When an angry Erica showed up at his home, hurling accusations, Rick told her the truth about how he can't get over her and exclaimed that she was too scared of getting hurt to give them a shot. But she (hopefully) proved him wrong, planting a big, steamy kiss on him.
Elsewhere, the flashbacks to New York 2010 detailed the fateful day that Eddie died. Ted and Eddie's father changed their plans to take just Ted out to dinner. The two men were even bonding when Kevin called Ted to inform him that Pellegrini put a hit on him. Ted raced to his apartment, where Eddie was watching TV, but it was too late. When his dad didn't show up for the funeral, Ted confronted him, and his father confessed that he didn't regret his choice to save Ted and let Eddie be killed.
