Warning: SPOILERS for the Fits LA episode “Batman Returns” are forward!
From the second Fits LA was introduced, followers puzzled if anyone from the unique Fits would seem within the spinoff. Then in November 2024, it was introduced that Gabriel Macht would seem in three episodes, and the primary of these episodes simply completed airing on the 2025 TV schedule. Whereas it was nice to see Harvey again within the episode “Batman Returns,” there’s something I’m particularly hoping for from his subsequent two Fits LA appearances. And no, it’s not seeing him paired again up with Louis Litt, as apparently Rick Hoffman is reprising his Fits character in an episodes sans Macht.
How Harvey Specter Match Into “Batman Returns”
Slightly than viewers reuniting with a post-Fits Harvey Specter, “Batman Returns,” which may now be streamed with a Peacock subscription, flashed again to the character in 2010, i.e. a yr earlier than he met Mike Ross. This was again when Harvey was nicely acquainted with Stephen Amell’s Ted Black, who at this stage of his life was a federal prosecutor in New York. Ted’s mission within the flashback storyline is to deliver down Pellegrini, probably the most brutal mob boss the Massive Apple has ever seen.
Earlier this season, Ted was capable of have Pellegrini arrested for the homicide of Billy Esposito, a witness essential to Ted’s case. However upon getting on bail, Pellegrini confronted Ted on the diner the place his brother Eddie labored and threatened him. Regardless of Pellegrini’s insistence that Eddie wasn’t in peril as a result of his outfit doesn’t “go after household,” the encounter was sufficient for Ted to fret about Eddie and his then-girlfriend’s Samantha’s security.
Harvey, who performed on the baseball workforce as Ted, sensed one thing was incorrect when Ted’s pitching was off throughout a recreation. Harvey persuaded him to get his head straight in the course of the recreation so they might win the playoffs, and so they did simply that. Afterwards, Harvey and Ted loved some Macallan 25s along with Eddie at a close-by bar to rejoice, and when Eddie stepped out for a bit, Harvey knowledgeable Ted that he’d discovered from his individuals on the DA’s workplace that Pellegrini has somebody in Ted’s workplace. That’s how he was capable of have Esposito killed, although Harvey insisted that Ted didn’t want to fret for his personal security, as a result of is one thing occurred to him, an “military” could be despatched after the mob boss.
I Need To See Harvey Specter In Fits LA’s Current Day Storyline
Harvey didn’t get lots of display screen time in his first Fits LA episode, however it was simply sufficient to assist superior the flashback storyline in a major method. I additionally loved the amusing debate between him and Ted about which certainly one of them was Batman. It harkened again to the Fits days when Harvey in contrast himself to DC Comics’ Caped Crusader as a solution to emphasize simply how wonderful he was at his job.
Nevertheless, I’m hoping that the subsequent two occasions we see Gabriel Macht on Fits LA, it is going to be him taking part in Harvey within the current day. Now granted, which may be slightly troublesome contemplating that one, he doesn’t work in leisure regulation, and two, he and Donna moved to Seattle on the finish of Fits to work with Mike Ross and Rachel Zane. It’s onerous to ascertain what items would should be moved into place for this to organically occur.
However, I belief the Fits LA writers can provide you with one thing worthwhile. Truthfully, Harvey wouldn’t even have to immediately issue into the primary storyline if that’s what it takes. Perhaps he’s simply in Los Angeles for his personal enterprise, and his catch-up with Ted is only meant to additional the latter’s private development. Or perhaps Harvey doesn’t present up in LA in any respect and simply talks with Ted over the cellphone.
Nevertheless this occurs, I wish to learn the way Harvey Specter is doing since we final noticed him, or somewhat the current day model of him, within the Fits sequence finale. Clearly this may’t overshadow what’s happening with Ted Black since Fits LA is about him, however I don’t need our solely time spent with Harvey on the spinoff going down earlier than his Fits journey started. We’ll see if my want is granted as new episodes of Fits LA air Sundays at 9 pm ET on NBC.
