Harvey Specter’s return in Suits LA has sent fans into a frenzy — for good reason. Gabriel Macht’s iconic character made a surprise appearance in the latest episode, “Batman Returns,” bridging the gap between the original Suits series and its spinoff.
Here are all the details about Harvey’s comeback and what it means for Suits LA.
How Gabriel Macht’s Harvey Specter returns in Suits LA
In Suits LA, Harvey Specter makes his big comeback by sharing the backstory of how he knows the lead. The episode features a series of flashback scenes revealing his early friendship with Ted Black, played by Stephen Amell.
The episode kicks off with a tense moment on the field. Ted’s pitch goes awry, hitting the batter and sparking a heated debate between him and Harvey. The two also playfully argue over who is more like Batman, with Ted’s friend Kevin caught in the middle as the umpire. Amid the banter, Ted admits that his focus is off because he’s worried about Pellegrini.
Harvey Specter shares crucial information with Ted in the latest episode of Suits LA. Later, as the trio heads to a bar, he reveals that Pellegrini has an inside man in Ted’s office. Ted grows concerned, but Harvey reassures him, insisting that Pellegrini isn’t reckless enough to harm him. The episode wraps up with Harvey declaring himself Batman and Ted as Robin, paying homage to the episode’s title.
Now, fans may think that, as far as a surprise appearance goes, it would only last a maximum of two episodes. However, Gabriel Macht’s return as Harvey Specter is just the beginning. He will appear in two more episodes this season, both set in the present day. Harvey Specter’s return in Suits LA also comes at a time when the show is struggling with viewership. Perhaps bringing back iconic characters like him could be the boost it needs.
